Bio:
Leanne Betasamosake Simpson is a renowned Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg musician, writer and academic, who has been widely recognized as one of the most compelling Indigenous voices of her generation. Her work breaks open the boundaries between story and song-bringing audiences into a rich and layered world of sound, light, and sovereign creativity.
Leanne has performed in venues and festivals across Canada with her sister singer songwriter Ansley Simpson and guitarist Nick Ferrio. Leanne’s second album, f(l)light, was released in 2016 and is a haunting collection of story-songs that effortlessly interweave Simpson’s complex poetics and multi-layered stories of the land, spirit, and body with lush acoustic and electronic arrangements. Her EP Noopiming Sessions combines readings from her novel Noopiming with soundscapes composed and performed by Ansley Simpson and James Bunton with a gorgeous video by Sammy Chien and the Chimerik Collective. It was produced during the on-going social isolation of COVID-19 and was released on Gizhiiwe Music in the Fall of 2020.
Leanne is the author of seven books, including This Accident of Being Lost, which won the MacEwan University Book of the Year; was a finalist for the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize and the Trillium Book Award; was long listed for CBC Canada Reads; and was named a best book of the year by the Globe and Mail, the National Post, and Quill & Quire. Her new novel Noopiming: The Cure for White Ladies was released by the House of Anansi Press in the fall of 2020 and in the US by the University of Minnesota Press in 2021 and was named one of the Globe and Mail’s best books of the year and was short listed for the Governor General’s Literary Award for fiction. A Short History of the Blockade was released by the University of Alberta Press in early 2021. Her new project with Robyn Maynard, Rehearsals for Living will be released in 2022 by Knopf Canada.

    This is another ridiculous video with no much understanding of technology and innovations that are happening. You cannot solve a problem if your thinking ins in the level of the problem. He is indirectly promoting fossil fuel and we can’t live without that forever. His idea is energy is limited and it has to be rationed is incorrect. While it is true for fossil fuels, it’s not true for renewables to some extent. Suppose you have a home with 10kw solar panel with 15kwh of storage, with an EV all your home needs and your transportation needs are taken care off for the next 30 years. Irrespective of the status of economy, oil prices, oil transportation issues or any political issues, your home and transportation is taken care of. Energy from Sun never depletes and it’s always there. Also, by promoting heat pumps, electricity need drops by 60-70%. We can add three times more AC units with the same energy we use. However, for the fossil fuel industry, days of easy oil are gone. In US, production from conventional oil has drooped drastically and now only shale oil, which is expensive, is the only option. According to IMF, last year fossil fuel companies received an explicit subsidy of 1.3 trillion usd and a total subsidy (explicit and implicit) of 7 trillion USD from 174 countries. This is happening every year for many decades. Oil companies say they need additional 5 trillion in the next decade so that they can supply oil. That’s a lot of tax payer money. We are paying for their drilling, which btw, is only 10-20% successful, the executives huge bonuses, their enormous profits etc. In many countries, governments pay fossil fuel companies fuel consumption subsidy which artificially lowers the price of fuel. For example, Australian government pays fossil fuel companies 11.6 billion USD for artificially reducing price of diesel, which otherwise would have cost a dollar more. We need to have maximum amount of transportation using EV, to reduce dependence on oil, free from automobile exhaust from cities(tail pipe emissions causes premature death and numerous diseases), reduce heat in cities ( automobiles increase the temperature in inner cities by 2 degrees requiring more use of AC) . If this is done, our oil dependence will be for other issues like fertilizers, air transport and few other industries. These can be handled later. He was making fun of the 337x337 mike area in Sahara is enough for all electricity need for the world and a sandstorm will wipe them off. You don’t need to install in Sahara, you can install solar panels in many places where you don’t have many weather issues like in Nevada, California or Arizona or many similar places in the world. Fossil fuels are limited and become more and more expensive everyday. Solar with battery storage is getting cheaper and that will never depleted. There is abundance if we able to understand and utilize rather than stuck on fossil fuels.

    Of the 1,609 scientists who have signed the declaration, two signatories are Nobel Prize laureates. The most recent to sign is Nobel Prize winner Dr. John F. Clauser, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics. In an announcement from CLINTEL, Clauser is quoted as saying “Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists.”

    I want growth... growth in a restoration economy... growth in theater, arts, music, dance, and education. Some of the most oppressed people are the creative ones as their industries have become so concentrated that they can no longer do what they are best at, forced to work jobs that do not tap into their potential or strengths. Instead, we all sit on our couches on or phones or in front of televisions eating garbage food rather than building community around the talents that surround us. Be ashamed. We can have growth... in economic activities that reduce resource pressure. For every resource intensive product or activity, there are dozens of alternatives that are not. Choose wisely, my friends...

    It's obvious we are done. The scientist's predictive models did not consider the exponential impacts of multiple cascading tipping points. Phenomena predicted to occur in 2100 is happening now except with greater severity and frequency. The politicians don't get it. They are a thick headed and hard hearted bunch of narcissists. Every one of them is programmed and conditioned to believe in unlimited growth. Their death knell as politicians is a failing economy. The politicians are at odds with Life and our predicament. We are done. Probably before 2030 the way it looks now.

CO2 is making our crops and trees do amazingly well and there are on arctic or antarctic meltdowns going on and what's worse there are not any "Mass Extinctions" going on either. This is entirely a fraud a scam to shake people down for money!

  • @socratesrocks1513
    @socratesrocks1513 ปีที่แล้ว

    Let me get this straight. The rise of CO2 from 0.03% to 0.04% over the past hundred years is devastating. In response, we must kill half (at least) of the human population through cold and starvation? Of course, it won't be the wealthy who die -- they'll still be eating filet mignon and flying their private jets to Davos. It'll be the poor, the 'useless eaters' as the WEF terms us. While the advanced countries have now gone to below replacement level fertility rates (down to 1.7 or less), less advanced countries are still at 4 or above, but they won't do anything about their overpopulation, so the advanced countries are the ones being demonised, even though it was that advance that has reduced the need for large families (because the infant mortality rate has dropped through the floor) and, if spread through the less developed countries, would almost certainly have the same effect. Indeed, it has. Fertility rates were even higher, but they're slowly dropping. Meanwhile, we're told we need to stop using oil, which means nothing made of man-made fibres or plastics. That puts medicines out (no manufacturing allowed. They need fossil fuels to run), no anaesthetics, no warm clothes unless you're happy wearing wool, furs and leather again, no phones, no computers to examine what's happening, no glasses (plastics or, if we go for glass, we need fossil fuels to get enough heat), hearing aids, everyone in the northern climes back to meat eating in the winter because there'd be no food being imported from warmer climes, no operations (unless you're happy to 'bite on this' while they're doing it), no monitoring for birth defects or detection of cancers, diabetes etc. etc. etc. In other words, we're back to a medieval way of life with all the horrors of disease and ignorance that contained. And he wonders why people aren't happy about the idea and why we won't wake up. More will die because of this shut down than would die of heat. In Medieval times, CO2 was 306ppm but temps were higher. When Brachiosaurus was roaming the Earth, CO2 was at 2000 ppm and the world was greener. We're at 417ppm but CO2 is logarithmic. It has to double to make any appreciable difference. Meanwhile, if it goes below 240ppm (or 0.02% of atmosphere) ALL the plants die and, with them, every living thing on the planet. When the people pushing this agenda stop using private jets, start eating bugs, stop using their phones and computers, wear all leather shoes, cotton, wool or leather clothes (no man made fibres) and refuse medicines or check-ups because of 'the environment' and set an example, I might believe my keeping the temperature in the house so low I'm shivering at night is worth it, but so long as it's one rule for them another for the rest of us, forget it.

This intelligent idiot did well for about a minute before spouting a litany of unproven hypotheticals and pseudoscience as a basis for installation of global totalitarianism via carbon dioxide demonisation. It IS true humanity needs to reappraise it's whole approach to daily living and long term survival. What is NOT true is that the best way to deal with this is to bully and tax people out if existence. Several important alleged 'facts' need to he challenged. First off ... carbon dioxide does NOT control global temperature. That job has always been taken by the sun, our solar system parameters and the larger universe. Second, what is the evidence that there will a climate catastrophe if the global temperature rises by 1.5 degrees C? This is plainly absolutely without credence. It is colder now than 80% of the last 10,000 years, earth has been naturally cooling since 2015 and it has been warmer in the past during which times humanity flourished. CO2 is the gas of life upon which ALL life on the planet depends and it has been orders of magnitude higher (into thousands of ppmv) in the past when life blossomed and the world did not go on fire (quite the reverse in fact). The whole greenhouse gas hypothesis is completely at odds with the ideal gas laws and the assumptions made in successive IPCC propaganda reports have been proven as incorrect as the models which our brainwashed and largely corrupted leaderships are using to 'justify' draconian and very expensive imaginary solutions to non-existent problems. This just makes everything worse since the monies we should be using to deal with human made problems we CAN and should be addressing, we are wasting on problems we cannot control. Meantime, the predatory capitalists like Gore and Gates for example, along with so called climate gurus (criminals imo) like Hansen, Mann and a host of other grant gravy train riders, are all making out like bandits. You can bet your life THEY won't be cutting THEIR carbon footprints ... because they'll be stamping on your faces forever. We all know in our hearts that we must change our ways but lying, taxing and bullying everyone and installation of global totalitarianism under unelected and unaccountable elites is not the answer and will never be. Don't fall for this climate emergency hype ... it's a complete con. Consume less, want less, take charge of your own health and grow your own food as much as possible.

      I say take Gen x on up to gen z....the most wasted resource of humanity that fas evolved. Overweight, under-intelligent, spoiled, lazy, socially inept, wreckless. We failed raising this bad crop. Take them first, humanly though. Maybe a targeted pandemic. Feed them something the virus has an affinity to. Sticks like glue.....

    As the planet heats, the ice melts, which creates geological destabilization and increased volcanic activity. The Western Antarctic shelf will eventually collapse and we will go into an ice-age while human numbers plummet. There are these things called negative reinforcement feedback loops that these geniuses ignore. We know from a paper in Science by Professor Bruhne and colleagues that with increased atmospheric water, you get increased lightning which cleanses the atmosphere of greenhouse gases. That is why a methane burst from the Arctic that causes a BOE is virtually impossible. A unicorn is more realistic. We are headed for human depopulation and likely a volcanic winter. The same thing happened 125,000 yrs ago. Climate scientists are buffoons.

    Another malthusian, proclaming that we are too many and extintion is coming due to that. I wander for how much long are they going to keep being wrong. Paul Ehrlich started all this in the 70s and he has been wrong non-stop ever since. But regardless, there's always someone ready to pick up the torch, as long as the government is willing to give away grants so every one of them can feel good and virtuous for saving the earth for all of us.

    Hydrogen, metal powders, biogas, geothermal, home design, batteries, recycling sciences, conservation, grid dynamics, and nuclear power all would yield significant growth in energy security. Hyperbolae are counterproductive.

    I only have solutions nobody listens to: 1) NTeslaTailpipes on all exhausts scales to smokestacks zero_gases/soot can trap wasteheat a 90yr old design for this purpose had industry mfg them there'd be NO CLIMATE CRISIS. 2) Use algae 2nd step sewage purification process gains 30% of effluent volume biodiesel/biocrude [refinery specific grades] - CO2 + O2 renewable daily; from a pilot/study for Gov.JanBrewer AZ USA vetoed by Sen.McCain or we'd be $1.25 /gallon & free of foreign oil needs. 3) Grind base pH rocks_to_flour into seas raises pH in oceans zooplankton making shells remove CO2 at_scale on a 71% water planet, unless this is done when finally emissions drop oceans outgas their excess CO2 keeps it above 400ppm for 120,000yrs+ ... currently we dissolve zooplankton 10-times faster than the PETM extinction. 4) Weir dam polder, levee BeringStrait/ChukchiSea to create a permanent seaice refuge to alter jetstreams back into N.America instead of going north there w/heat and moisture to heat the Arctic many times too fast, 62k-views on a seaice research forum no takers/funding, if it doesn't work it can be removed. 5) There is no easy way out, we're extinct 3.5ky-5ky hence as-is by all of paleontology without the above actions. 🕊⚖️♻️

    The carbon budget was a lie. It was based on overly optimistic assumptions. We're already too late to prevent extreme climate. It should be apparent the climate has already destablized.

      @@EmeraldView I believe that as well. The world is about to get another rude lesson in exponential functions. But, even if it wasn't the case, I believe we are doomed at this point anyway due to ecological overshoot (an even bigger issue than just climate change), population collapse (this is occurring independent of climate change), and social upheaval from too much of a good thing for too long (I know that sounds weird, but human psychology is F'd), and an ongoing global mass extinction. Any one of those probably dooms society and any two all but certainly dooms humanity. I'm just still trying to decide if it's tragic or epic to have lived through the peak of human civilization...

      @@Mike80528 It seems almost everyone I know feels it in the air. That sense of impending doom. And yet few people are willing to see or admit to the problem. Many have buried their head in the sand or are in active denial. Yes climate change and ecological collapse is rapidly and soon upon us. We're still on the relatively flat part of the exponential curve, but the slope is about to get steep, and then everyone will notice. And indeed it's just a symptom of a much bigger problem that can't even be fixed simply by some new technological innovation. I don't know how to feel about it. It's kind of hard to wrap my head around. I know it's coming. I can see it coming. Yet it almost doesn't feel real. I don't want it to be real. I've lived in THIS world so long, I can't imagine any other, let alone a world entirely devoid of humans.
