Braiding Sweetgrass is utter bullshit. The author kills algae, makes a maple tree bleed, and denigrates her students for being Christian. To quote the great Jim Schoenfeld, "Have another donut!" Nature is evil. Why the gratitiude? Earthly gifts? Just watch the cheetah take down the gazelle!

15:59 The Anishinaabe view is similar to Simone Weil's philosophy of obligations, rather than rights, including the obligation to help "offenders" because they are not well and in need of help. I'm probably misrepresenting her philosophy a bit, but the similarities with her philisophy in The Need for Roots are striking. She came from a completely different (but fascinating!) background, but she did have Plato as her "master". Simone Weil has convinced me that obligations is the more reasonable path. I think rights are misguided and potentially harmful, even human rights. So I'm not a fan of granting Mother Earth legal rights. It doesn't fix the underlying issue of our culture's worldview, and it just feels so backwards to drag Mother Nature into our legal arena to protect her from ourselves. I was a bit confused why she brought up all these examples towards the end, after having explained the much better Anishinaabe way earlier in the talk. They wouldn't have been impressed by what we're doing, would they? Instead of giving legal rights to nature, it is _we_ who should be given _obligations._ Not just to each other, but to all.

pure medicine. redemptive knowledge

I could listen to her voice all day ❤ I would have have paid attention in school if she was my teacher 🎉

Other indigious speakers have brought awareness to the internal roots of this issue, English has a key subset of words with strong internal Latin embedment , words like Mortgage (Death-Grip) are ovious , But we dont look at the internals of our more commonly spoken words we use casualy every day ,, The word 'Animal" has three syllable's An-I-(Mal) Run a latin translation upon its parts the last syllbol will came back as "Evil or "Bad". so an Evil or bad Soul.. Something thats not alive (A lego brick for example) is often called an Inanimate object and I have to be very careful here because science also labels rocks as inanimate objects, but most indigious commuitys "see" (Recognise) rocks as unique relations as well . An animate object like a frog "is alive and is said to have a soul or a spirit ,, But what is this within the word An-I-Mal <--- ? An Animate object is something with a spirit or a soul. So why would it be a Bad soul ? Why is there a "Mal" on the end of Mammal as well ? There has been a sugested linguistic change to recognise all the non human relations as "The Animates" by Tiokasin Ghosthorse. and in recognition of "Ki" and "Kin" buildling or shifting to a layer of langage expression that we allready have. Seen as our "Kin" not as an "It" Our culture due to its idology infulece impact's is also very centered around and infulenced by Our taught "Dulistic" ways of thinking and that is whole converstion in itself. . some people in the autistic spectrum community who deal everyday with there internal gut feeling that some put a label on and call. "Wrong planet syndrone" and yes over time this this "Label" or name will probbly evolve into something a lot deeper. talk about the systemic way that this works as an internal 'Feeling" that this is in some way Alien or wrong ,I beleave in truth its a much deeper issue then what lies within the surface layers that we typicly work from and really think we need to engage in converstions that bring these topics front and center,, its been a long time coming.,

yep- we have a huge challenge ahead of us- but we must do it! we have been there before! and stopping the 6th great extinction is just as importan as the climate issue. we need to tax all forms of pollution AND tax the wealthy since they got rich on emmiting this pollution and extracting from our (the publics) natural resources. and ONLY VOTE on politions who understand this ! and trump does NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent and thorough talk by Dr Bernhardt. Thank you for this very thoughtful work.

Loved the book, "Braiding Sweetgrass".

I am still reading the book. I love it. The way how is explained the love for the Earth remind me the love for the PACHAMAMA in quechua, the love for Mother Earth translate in English. In Perú we understand very similar the love for the land, the.love for the Earth in general.

With fossil fueled machines humans can cut and use trees faster than ever. Way faster than trees can regrow. Now, we have stripped most of the landscape of cooling hydrated climax forests (think of the circumstances that would have allowed such luck to occur), with second, third, fourth successively lessor regeneration trees that burn all at once in wildfire. There is no hopeful vision in a biomass energy society.

Any issue that divides the people gives international bankers more control, thus they will never seek to solve them. Government is a cancer that consumes it's host. We need to abolish the "ruling" class that keeps us from uniting toward common goals. The political climate is even more deadly than the environmental one.

Why is a journalist pontificating on climate matters. Surely there are far more qualified people.

Were approaching a time when millions of migrants will be lost at sea and well care less becuase of how common it will be. Then we will team up with nature to kneecap the developing world and enforce the vast part of the world to never be developed or contain many people at all is what i think will happen

A few comments. "Climate change" is an amorphous term having no scientific, historical, or analytical value. It is a generalization of weather conditions prevailing over a generalized region or epoch. Weather is another amorphous term as a collection of many current or at least short term meteorological parameters that can be described with quantifiable metrics. "Nice weather" might mean many things to many people: to a farmer, needed rain; to a sailor, a strong dependable wind; to picnickers, prevailing sunshine, moderate temperatures, with no more than a gentle breeze. All can describe "nice weather," but what of "nice climate?" There is no global weather, hence no global climate, hence no "global _anything'"_ We can agree that past ice ages represented significant changes in temperature and precipitation over large regional regions for time periods with significance sufficient to refer to them in terms of ages or epochs. The Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt fell after the life giving Nile river all but dried up for over one hundred years. This was due to weather pattern changes occurring far beyond any horizons the Egyptians were capable of observing. The pharaohs of the time were held responsible for losing favor with their fathers (The gods). If this was the Mississippi and the time was today we would blame SUVs for the drought. Was that one hundred+ year drought simply some unlucky weather patterns predominating over regions beyond the Sudan or "climate change" If so what caused it and what corrected it? The intensity of that drought has never been duplicated. CO2 levels have never controlled or regulated climate in the past as evidenced by quite dependable proxies using isotopes of oxygen taken from ancient ice cores along with their CO2 concentrations extracted from the same sample. Yes CO2 is a significant greenhouse gas but increasing its current concentrations by even tenfold will have little to no influence over temperature just as it has behaved in the past. The CO2 insulation response is logarithmic and is already operating along the asymptote of this curve. On the other hand, CO2, along with H2O and sunshine form the base of the food pyramid for all life on Earth. If we love and embrace life, rejecting CO2 as pollution would be a fool's errand. The most significant releases of CO2 from cement production are not caused as a result of heating limestone (calcium carbonate or CaCO3) but by the very chemical process of producing it: CaCO3 + heat -> CaO + CO2 ! CaO is calcium oxide, essentially Portland cement. Without major ancient geological (or currently human) releases of CO2, the oceans would eventually consume the Earth's CO2 portion of the food pyramid to sequester it in seabeds as the detritus of sea life. All life on Earth would eventually perish as a result. "Green energy" is not a solution to our energy needs, our environmental impact, or even human needs. Wind and solar have disastrously high negative impacts on the environment because of their enormous land usage footprint; their material and mining impacts; their flora and fauna impacts; their fragility; their unpredictability; their disposability and finally their depressing ugliness as both sight and sound pollution. EVs will be rejected by the marketplace because they create far more problems than they solve. Digital currency is a wonderful tool enabling the government to catch the criminals but what happens as a result of all of this power when the government itself poses the most significant criminal threat. I welcome all comments and especially criticisms of my remarks.

Love the grey eyebrows ... The wise wizard is coming into focus!❤

Aqui in Spanish is Here. The language similarity is fascinating to me

Braiding Sweetgrass is one of my most favorite books and I listen and read it every spring. Love seeing Dr. Kimmerer speak! 🌼🌱

Use Kin, not It, for the life on this world. Save the It’s for bulldozers. Love it!

When taxpayers are no longer doing the heavy lifting for wind and solar, costs of the nuclear options will look quite attractive. And as far as nuclear waste is concerned, we know exactly how to deal with it - we just need to keep the anti-nuclear lobby out of their meditation sessions long enough to hear the facts.

I have lived through multiple end-of-the-world alarms. I am very sure I will outlive this one as well. The most telling evidence, for me, is the complete absence of sea rise...

The end of the fossil fuel roller coaster ride and the beginning of the neomedieval world made by hand with real horses for horsepower. Population will reduce down to less than a billion living in harmony as long as they get rid of their psychopaths.

Outlaw anyone, including politicians, Bill Gates etc traveling on more than one flight per year, if they wish to take another flight they must go negotiate DIRECTLY with someone for their "flight right". ZERO brokering etc, the politicians and the wealthy MUST directly buy from the masses EVERY FLIGHT ABOVE a SINGLE ONE!

Great stuff. Really enjoyed the talk.... However, IMHO, the only possible path out of the climate crisis is something like nuclear. (well, that is besides population management - which is a non-starter for a dozen reasons...) There is just not enough production capacity for wind and solar and any other fictitious large scale power generator can contribute the required billions of Quads of energy. And surely, the decades-long awaited tokomak or whatever fusion power is just gonna happen way to late for anyone left to give a darn. Peace.

Transision will NOT be possible

TRANSITION will take years. It is not reasonable or prudent to FORCE loss of energy capacity and safety to satisfy glorified reduction goals.

18:50 The cause of global warming is not known. It is known global warming didn't emerge from changes in well understood atmospheric characteristics such as earth's greenhouse effect that high school earth science describes as adding 10°F (5.55°) to earth's temperature from water vapor's strong greenhouse gas ability to loosely interact with inferred electromagnetic radiation coming from the surface from radiating into space. The greenhouse effect takes place within 20 meters of the surface and as long as water vapor is not near zero it holds the greenhouse effect at saturation. Adding more greenhouse gasses to earth's atmosphere such as carbon dioxide and methane can not raise the greenhouse effect over its saturated temperature of 10°F (5.55°C). At over 20 metes from the surface at greenhouse gas saturation the inferred electromagnetic radiation from surface is considered totally absorbed and heat transfers is by convection, molecules bumping into each other. Global warming after rising at 2/10°C in the 1980s and much the same in the 1960s and 1970s suddenly paused in the early 1990s at a reported 1.1°C. Over the next thirty years global warming never reached its next notable reportable increment of 1.2°C. In 2022 global warming was reported at 1.1°C. Global warming in the 1980s was predicted to be at 1.7°C in 2020. During this thirty year carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere continued to rise much as they had in the 1980s with no correlation between these end-to-end global warming temperatures. These reported global warming temperatures are subject to revision. The early 1990s reported 1.1°C of global warming may have been lowered in the years a head. A similar possibility exists for the 2022 reported 1.1°C of global warming. The UN IPCC reports when they were less than 200 pages long are clear and transparent, provided you read the entire report, that they only discuss greenhouse gasses as the cause for global warming and only sampled those greenhouses gas at 20 THOUSAND meters altitude well into the stratosphere where water vapor is near zero and not within 20 meters of the surface where earth's greenhouse effect takes place. Note how "20" is used in this situation. It is common in fraud to use similar sounding phrases that are vastly different in meaning to add confusion. At that stratospheric altitude carbon dioxide has a 20% greenhouse gas temperature share according to IPCC pie charts instead of the 1/4% share carbon dioxide has in earth's greenhouse effect when at average tropospheric water vapor concentration of 1%. This is 80 times carbon dioxide's share in earth's greenhouse effect. Human caused carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere has about 1/100°C share in the greenhouse effect when there's is 1% average water vapor concentration. This 1/100°C of temperature share was reported in the early 1990s was widely reported and used in numerous TV documentaries from a study pay for by large oil and chemical companies as "adding' that about of additional temperature to the earth from human caused carbon dioxide. It was never seriously discredited through the 1990s. In the early 2000s another study could only find about 50% of that number, but it was a very credible figure through the 1990s. 80 X 1/100°C = 0.8°C or more than half of the 1.1°C of global warming. Which is what the IPCC has been stating that over half of global warming is due to human caused burning of fossil fuels. The noncondensing greenhouse gas concentration is immaterial to earth's greenhouse effect as long as water vapor is not near zero which in practice means noncondensing greenhouse gasses don't change earth's greenhouse effect. Because greenhouse effect should of been covered in high school science where it is stated earth's greenhouse effect is in practice always in saturation from water vapor adding 10°F (5.55°) to earth's temperature people should know better that increases in greenhouse gas concentrations do not increase global warming. That's the science.

Europe, and Germany in particular, have been in the van of climate hysteria. With the Ukraine warm, Europe, and Germany in particular had the opportunity to discard fossil fuel technology and double down on their cheap and abundant renewable energy. Instead, Europe and Germany have doubled down on fossil fuels, and even coal. So climate hysteria is past it's peak, and it's unlikely that it will regain anything like the steam it had before the Ukraine war began. Fossil fuels are going to continue to be the major source of energy in the world indefinitely, with nuclear the main alternative and renwable power a minor factor around the margins. Global warming? We will deal with those pro0blems as they arise, as is the case with all human problems. Despite the claim by Greta Thunberg and her supporters that global warming was THE existential problem with which humanity needed to deal, when Covid came along, climate change took a back seat to dealing with Covid 19. And that is the future of climate change. When changes to fossil fuel use become economic and practical, they will be adopted. And when they aren 't they wont. For example, despite the current enthusiasm for electric cehicles, industry is goinf to run up against massive shoratges of materials to use to build electric vehicles, and electric power to operate them. When those problems become conspicuous and unavoidable, the enthusiasm for electric vehicles will be moderated. That is the way human beings deal with global problems and economic problems. By contrast, environmentalists and "experts" predicted "peak oil" in 2000, but the experts were wrong. It turns out that it's a lot easier to expand fossil fuel and oil consumption tham reneawable power. and electric vehicles. One of life's little ironies.

58:50 he is conflating uranium mining and spent nuclear fuel. Mining uranium isn’t a problem. It can also be extracted from sea water. As for the waste, it’s not a technological problem but a political one, that goes for building the plants.

26:27 and here we go. He selectively leaves out nuclear power in his calculations. He fails to mention that 20% of the electricity comes from the splitting of atoms. He fails to mention that the ROEI for nuclear is basically so large that it’s an endless supply of energy. He fails to mention that 20,000 nuclear plants could supply the global demand for energy. It would require 20,000 tons of uranium, which can be extracted from the oceans, and the same amount of uranium enters the ocean due to erosion every year.

1:05 Richard was proven wrong when it came to peak oil in the early 2000’s, given he completely missed fracking technology. He also tends to discount technology like nuclear coming up to fill in the gap, mostly because he puts too much weight upon political factors getting in the way of the technology.

one of the few critical thinkers that hit the nail on the head

28:55

I appreciate Richard Heinberg very much, but we are screwed.

💕 'promosm'!

"...not for our relatives." I absolutely love Robin Wall Kimmerer and I am so grateful she is offering guidance to us. It is such an honor existing at the same time as her.

But we're not all in the same boat. That's what I don't get. Why does everyone pretend that we are?

The headlines about catastrophic climate change and the rest of rhe fear porn surrounding it is meant to distract us from real and immediate problems. Like the poisoning of our environment (has nothing to do with climate change), highly processed food that is not nourishing a medical indusrrial complex that wants to suck us (at least financially) dry and keep us coming back for more, corporations and the wealthiest 1% who want to suck up more wealth from us, and then don't forge the bio-security state that wants to control us all. Remember, l month's conspiracy theory is this month's fact.

We obviously take horrible care of the Earth. We should use clean energy just because it’s clean. That being said, some of us think we’re in a normal cycle of heating and cooling, which doesn’t mean we should not take care of it , we absolutely should-but there’s evidence that says that we’re just in a normal cycle. Some of us just think that the powers that be are using this to their advantage. Even planned for it. The powerful should’ve been taking care of the Earth long ago and still should. They are a joke. We obviously should have electric cars by now as soon as the powerful start talking about taxing people, you know there’s some silliness going on; we can make a biodegradable world of abundance, it’s possible. It starts with removing the established leadership so we can get things done.

Seems to me that the people who brought us to the brink of the climate apocalypse, are the same people who are offering the solutions. Hmmmm. Not good. Carbon tax! What a joke.

"Help nature to adapt" - 44:46 Good video, emphasises our predicament, but nature does not need our help. Nature just needs the fire pest (humans) to disappear. Nature coped well for hundreds of millions of years without the fire pest. At 8 billion, we are a plague and need to go. Women dominate voting, control the narrative, want to survive, will kick the can down the road, so we are doomed.

In my society every inaimate or animate being is either a she or he.

A million kisses upon the hands of Dr Kimmerer. A true servant of life and all living.... things! haha. She mentions the need for a sophisticated protocol of various sorts for dealing with the notion of eating relatives and it reminded me of when I was child and had gut feelings that indigenous people are extremely intellectual despite being surrounded by notions that indigenous people are backwards, savages, barbarians etc. The best test of anything is time. I will always trust ancient wisdom over anything else, especially new science (typically funded by the we-know-whos)

Robin....I have been listening to Braiding Sweetgrass while I am watering my garden. As we wait for election results I think about your People and all of mine and pray to stand tall and stand for Mother Earth no matter what happens. We are still here ( I am Jewish and Northeastern woodlands or plains Indians according to my DNA tests) but my ancestors call to me to keep fighting for justice and reciprocity. Gindinawendimin!!!! Love you, and the hope and understanding you bring to us.

The Earth doesn't care. That's an epistemic, ethical category mistake.

Great job, Sam/Matt/Whitney! This is my second time watching your presentations--it brings such hope that we can make a difference--through education, community participation and stakeholders--to make even a small change to combat Climate Change. Keep up the good work and best of luck in your future careers in Public Land Stewardship! Congratulations!😊🎓🌄
