I can go several weeks without a car. In general, I think more walkable neighborhoods would go a long way towards reducing greenhouse gases not to mention aggravating commuting times, as well.
As much as people think the Ozone degrading propellants and refrigerants are phased out, there still developing countries that have huge number of legacy refrigeration equipment that represent a market for those who still produce those chemicals, also the uncontrolled disposal of out of commission compresors causing their content to be released outside the atmosphere, even here in the USA how many people care about calling the 311 number to have them send technicians remove the compresor before final disposal?

Yes. Ozone/CFC isn't a great comparison. Once you stop producing ozone depleting chemicals, there are no more ozone depleting chemicals being emitted. That's in stark contrast to CO2 where human emissions stimulate natural emissions.

@Awakened2Truth - Disciple of Jesus the Christ I'm conservative. I also agree that a lot more research needs to be done on this issue. Especially since people are so one-sided about it. However, before you start calling yourself an intellectual, or anything like that, you should stop telling people that they are horrible people to convince them that you're right. You should also stop talking about red herrings like socialism and leftism, which have absolutely nothing to do with climate change. Even though I agree that more research needs to be done before jumping to conclusions, I also agree that your understanding of how the carbon cycle works isn't completely accurate. Just stop making this issue so black-and-white. It doesn't help. Listen to the opinions of others, and try to understand them, even when you don't agree. If you can't do that, there's no point in having a discussion, and there's no way you'll be able to find the truth of the matter.

We have to solve this problem to our future generation and I think with this video that's not impossible to do. Be optimistic and do positive things that will help our ozone get better. Though that just a little.
I think we all need to do something because inaction is an anction. And we can do a lot more and more in the future and don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
All people's actions are on their own head. All of us can do something for protecting of our planet. For example, economy of fuel due to travelling by public transport instead of cars or maybe reduction of deforestation can help us to save our environment. Also we can more rarely use spray cans which damage ozone layer. You can save electricity by turning off all electrical items when you don't need them and perhaps humanity will use more alternative energy in near future. Using sunlight and wind power won't change our usual types of getting energy but can significantly reduce damage.
@Awakened2Truth - Disciple of Jesus the Christ "immense arrogant fraudulent claim that man instead of the ferocious blazing star we call the sun that is immensely large compared to earth, can affect the warming and cooling of the earth." if you say this, it shows that you know absolutely nothing about how the greenhouse effect works ... when you burn fossil fuels, you put carbon trapped in the ground for millions of years in the atmosphere and these gases cause less energy from the sun to be radiated to space, its the sun doing the work we are just puting extra blankets to trap the heat
@Awakened2Truth - Disciple of Jesus the Christ Maybe if we'd stop cutting down rain forests, you'd have something of a point. Not that any sources you have cited have any credibility with regards to that topic. But I am more interested in your explanation on how this relates to communism? I'd imagine that preserving the environment would be a rather "conservative" endeavour.
If CFCs are no more, why is the hole/thinning as big as it was 30 years ago?. And why Antarctica? CFCs are 3.5 times heavier than air, so why are they travelling so far and so high? Well, all these questions can be easily answered…
the ozone hole is the same as when they first discovered it no bigger no smaller its like the guy who told his neighbor he throws blue paper out the window to keep away the unicorns when the neighbor said there are no unicorns he replied so its working same thing
Great piece thanks for airing it, I am resolutely hoping that we can, if we all work together come up with an action plan in an attempt to halt what is happening to this wonderful planet of our, I would also mention that I agree 100% with J. Golf's comment. Once again many thanks for airing this Kind Regards Steve Simmonds
Why don't we use other gas better than cfc? We can also change it. We should also research how we can increase ozone layer. I think we should talk about solution than problem 🙂
The problem is that risk and imminent risk are not the same. When was discovered that the Ozone Layer lost 3rd of itself well, was clear the rapid change and the imminent risk was perceived as real. The second problem is that the Solution was in the Industry that made CFCs NOT all the Humanity, Business, Civic Groups, etc. If someone can create, let's say a combustible equivalent to the gasoline/coal/oil that doesn't release CO2 and has the same average price ofthose, you can be sure the complete World will adapt it, with not problem.. But not, what has been asked is that we pay a "carbon Tax", reduce our consume, modify our behavior, buy things "greener" but expensive cars/trucks/tools.. etc. Also, what is being asked for several countries as India and China, that they stop or at least slow their development, due that the West countries burned for 150 years coal and there is a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere, the developing countries can NOT do the same.. what a peaty you were after those other countries... As you can see, the challenge is much more complex that just replace some substances for others, as happened with the CFCs...
If global warning is true. Where are the ancillary policies to help. Such as banding global trading and every country manufacture the product they use. Transportation supposedly creates a lot of green house gases. Supposedly reducing carbon is more important lower prices.
We should do the equivalent of geoengineering and pump ozone into the stratosphere to replenish the layer faster. We might even get it to absorb _more_ skin cancer-inducing radiation than it used to.
Good talk and good analogy. But it does break down on two main points. Cutting CFCs out of our lives was VERY easy compared to the prospect of cutting out fossil fuels. CFCs were much less critical to our lifestyle. They also posed a more clear and present danger to human beings. Keep using them and people *will* die a painful death from skin cancer. With climate change, in the minds of many people, the costs are much higher in making a change and the dangers seem less clear and, for human beings, anyway, less urgent.
It's always a curious thing to me when talking about global warming no one ever talks about the sun in the other planets in the Solar System which affect our planet isn't that weird the sun affects the heat on the planet OMG
According to the UN, the single biggest change we can make in our personal lives to minimise environmental destruction is a switch to a plantbased diet. According to Harvard, a global shift to a plantbased diet would also prevent one third of all early deaths due to chronic disease.
Everyone should commit to supporting a tree - that is, keeping it alive. All you have to do is spread a 3 or 4 inch layer of wood chips / bush mulch around the trunk all the way up to the canopy line (where the branches end) once every six months. The timber contains water and that will help water the soil and roots beneath. Worms and fungi break down the wood chips gradually, providing nutrients to the soil and roots. Leaves fall and break down as well, providing minerals to soil and roots. If there is no rain, sprinkle a bottle or two of water (tap water will do if that is all you have) over your chosen tree's mulch once a week or once a month if you don't have enough time. The water will be better than nothing. The wood chips will protect the tree roots from exposure to nasty chemicals from various sources of pollution. They will also prevent evaporation from the soil. Twice a year you can also sprinkle on the mulch a container of organic native fertiliser pellets (see Australian product "Bush Tucker" online to see something generally applicable to all trees then find the equivalent in your area).
Like this so that everyone sees this. I have an Idea for a Magnet Motor that works with magnets and superconductors nothing else ,It wouldn’t spin forever (so its not a perpetual motion machine) because magnets loose its power after like 300-400 years ,if this would work we could built a lot of these magnet motors to produce enough energy and destroy all coal-fire-stations so we have 0 emissions : ) The only problem is that I don’t know if this could actually work and I can’t Build it to Test it because I don’t have enough time... :/
Yes we can but with equality between consume co2 and protect ozone layer of it because if we solve this problem by disable co2 forever this will make another problem is the cold of the earth and the atmosphere so that's it
I love how many people throws out reasons to disprove climate change (or that its not caused by humans) and assume that scientists somehow didn't think of that in the course of almost a 100 years
He's right but the comparison with ozone is wrong on the most essential point: fossil fuels still create huge revenues and are supported by enormous lobbies. The products destroying the ozone weren't as much. Some countries would even lose more than 80% of their economy by stopping extraction and burning of fossil fuels. Not all people want a change (see in France where a small tax increase on petrol created 3 months of weekly strikes and riots so far... as of today). For most people, the end of the month is more important than an increase in freak storms, global warming or pollution which effects are not immediately seen. More people that you'd think do not care at all about future generations and you'd be surprised to see many of these people being parents. Conclusion: with most people not wanting a change and the wealthiest companies and lobbies blocking everything, don't expect a change anytime soon!
Carbon dioxide is a trace gas present at 430 ppm in our atmosphere. It consists of a carbon atom and two oxygen atoms ... hence it is called carbon dioxide. It is not called carbon by anyone who knows even a bit about science. Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas. It absorbs longwave radiation at 2.3, 4.7, and 15 micrometers. Carbon Dioxide has a slow emissivity ... it doesn't have time to radiate energy and instead it gives off heat when it expands according to the gas law and collides, transferring heat by convection, with millions of oxygen and nitrogen molecules. The earth radiates heat across the entire longwave radiation spectrum ... the amount of energy available at Carbon Dioxide's absorption spectrum is limited. The effect of CO2 as a greenhouse gas is logarithmic; its going to cause most of the warming at lower concentrations and not so much at higher concentrations. Some studies suggest the greenhouse gas effect is close to saturation ... so if you double (860 ppm) or even triple (1290 ppm) the amount of carbon dioxide you won't get much more warming effect. The best estimate of warming by increased Carbon Dioxide thought to have originated from human activity amounts to about 1.7 watts per meter squared ... or about 1% of the energy radiated by the earth in any given quantum of time. This is just one of many different atmospheric processes that affect the heat budget. There is no way to determine how much if any of the recent modest warming (0,8C since 1880) can be attributed to rising levels of CO2. Climate Change is a natural cycle driven by the sun and moderated by ocean currents. There is nothing you can do about climate change except to adapt.
We MUST elect politicians that will act to fix this crisis. We can accept nothing less. Climate action must be the defining issue of our day. It will require fundamental change, far larger than any group of individuals can enact (although individuals need to act also). We need governments to force the necessary changes onto the companies that are the root of the cause. As AOC recently said climate delayers are the new climate deniers . We have no time left to delay.
One thing that bothers me about this whole issue is that the major environmental problem facing the world in the long run clearly is overpopulation. Yeah that's a third rail nobody will touch due to politically correct reasons. What needs to be done immediately is to establish a maximum population density per square mile or per square kilometer and to tax every country that exceeds it to the extent it exceeds it until they reduce their population density level to a reasonable sustainable level.
You're right, it's not a problem. It's just a change, very fast, that we won't be able to deal with if we want to keep or current lifestyle for generations.
Last I checked John 3 : 8 didn't mention those winds setting fire to the Amazon and melting the ice caps. This is real, and unless you intend to pray for a holy life-ring, the almighty isn't going to shelter you from it
Ozone layer got destroyed by UV bombardment by a sun at its grand solar maxima. Ozone layer is getting stronger again because the sun is going to a relatively inactive state ... possibly grand solar minima.
The whole idea of forcing us to invest trillions of dollars into something we have no idea would work to move the average temperature one degree without evidence is insane.
4 every 1 scientist who says it may not happen there are 10 scientists who say that is happening, you're looking for evidence that supports your comfortable way of life instead of realizing that things need to change, that means reducing meat, fly less, drive less, and buying second hand. facts dont care bout your feelings
Jonathan Landgren I will never support the stealing of my money to invest into something that has no evidence of being able to change the climate for the better. All guess work is very expensive.
@@joontte97 You just made that up. Not true at all. Even if it were, consensus is not the measure of truth. If this was really true, what should the CO2 concentration be in the atmosphere and how do we get there.
Global warming is winning and this is just the beginning Think globally, act locally . Reduce your carbon footprint Every dollar you spend is a vote Its time we behave like adults Its time we face the facts and take responsibility Please Act and Vote responsibly every day before its to late
Idealism is a wonderful ignorance. We've reduced our impact on global warming while China, India and others continue to increase their out put with little consequence. If it's truly that important, your focus wouldn't be on those progressively improving, it would be in the ones accelerating in output.
The USA and the UK are the highest cumulative emitters of CO2, so the resposibility should be borne accordingly. Reducing your impact on climate change is not enough - it needs to get to zero as quickly as possible or the worst effects will be felt.
Mankind is not going to destroy the planet. That privilege is reserved for the Eternal Almighty. " But the day of Yah Veh will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up". Universal warming on a scale that is unimaginable and fast approaching.
Sure we can but not until we stop demonizing nuclear. Wind, solar and hydro are nice but they are hugely expensive compared to current tech and ready to go Molten Salt Reactors and then Thorium Breeder Reactors once they're figured out. With enough cheap energy we can actually pull CO2 out of the air *actively* combat global warming.
Matthew 16 : 1 - 4 "He answered them : When evening comes, you say It will be fine weather because the sky is red and early in the morning you say, It will be stormy today, because the sky is red and threatening."
BangDroid I (myself ) would begin by making company’s (oil, etc) change a % of there income (infrastructure) towards green technology by a certain date say (example only) 5% over 3 years then 5% over another 3 years 5% over 3 years so say (15% or highest of 20% over 10 years ) with incentives for doing it within the timeframe, (reward) or (penalty’s) if not, ( with other forward % worked out on each company’s performance and either willingness to go beyond or having hardship in doing so due to other influences) (small non multimillion company’s get help in doing so - as giving penalties is unhelpful to the process) Also moving funding from unnecessary things (at lest in the US case - about 1/2 the military budget) to education, science, and infrastructure .
Cleaner technology is not used because i t's not as cost effective. Simply put... Switching purely to clean technology would simply bankrupt your whole economy. Plus the problem is third world countries not the first ones.
Tespri which is exactly why I said (begin ) and small incremental percentages over time, of years, not in one giant go - but a minimum limit of (%) must be reached by a certain timeframe, ((Example - ( you ) must save 2-3% on there next years electric bill, - that’s not a lot over an entire year, )) remember this is for multi million/billion Dollar companies, and smaller ones get help from government to reach it, while it would only effect (wherever) this is where the likes of NATO and such would have to come into play to try and help the less fortunate countries into reaching certain goals (again not instantly but again 1-2% should not be hard over say 2 years or some (other workable number )

GO VEGAN. Animal agriculture is the either the leading cause of, or one of the leading causes of: 1) Climate change through CO2 emission 2) Deforestation (including the cutting down of rainforests) 3) Desertification due to soil erosion 4) Unprecedented species extinction (insects, fish, land animals) 5) A public heath emergency (almost 1 in 2 Americans have some form of heart disease) 6) Catastrophic amounts of suffering We need to stop rearing animals for meat, and support alternatives. We are teetering on the edge of a cataclysm. Please go vegan. Please.

when you burn fossil fuels, you put carbon trapped in the ground for millions of years in the atmosphere and these gases cause less energy from the sun to be radiated to space, its the sun doing the work we are just puting extra blankets to trap the heat
@Awakened2Truth - Disciple of Jesus the Christ
Maybe if we'd stop cutting down rain forests, you'd have something of a point. Not that any sources you have cited have any credibility with regards to that topic.
But I am more interested in your explanation on how this relates to communism? I'd imagine that preserving the environment would be a rather "conservative" endeavour.
If CFCs are no more, why is the hole/thinning as big as it was 30 years ago?.
And why Antarctica?
CFCs are 3.5 times heavier than air, so why are they travelling so far and so high?
Well, all these questions can be easily answered…
"Don't let the Perfect be the enemy of the Good." Great talk!
the ozone hole is the same as when they first discovered it no bigger no smaller its like the guy who told his neighbor he throws blue paper out the window to keep away the unicorns when the neighbor said there are no unicorns he replied so its working same thing
What happend?
Great piece thanks for airing it, I am resolutely hoping that we can, if we all work together come up with an action plan in an attempt to halt what is happening to this wonderful planet of our, I would also mention that I agree 100% with J. Golf's comment.
Once again many thanks for airing this

What is the effect of reflecting sunlight? And what is the effect of preventing sunlight from reaching the low ground?
Love your presentation!
Brilliant!
instablaster...
Why don't we use other gas better than cfc? We can also change it. We should also research how we can increase ozone layer. I think we should talk about solution than problem 🙂
The problem is that risk and imminent risk are not the same. When was discovered that the Ozone Layer lost 3rd of itself well, was clear the rapid change and the imminent risk was perceived as real. The second problem is that the Solution was in the Industry that made CFCs NOT all the Humanity, Business, Civic Groups, etc. If someone can create, let's say a combustible equivalent to the gasoline/coal/oil that doesn't release CO2 and has the same average price ofthose, you can be sure the complete World will adapt it, with not problem.. But not, what has been asked is that we pay a "carbon Tax", reduce our consume, modify our behavior, buy things "greener" but expensive cars/trucks/tools.. etc.
Also, what is being asked for several countries as India and China, that they stop or at least slow their development, due that the West countries burned for 150 years coal and there is a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere, the developing countries can NOT do the same.. what a peaty you were after those other countries...
As you can see, the challenge is much more complex that just replace some substances for others, as happened with the CFCs...
Ah yes, i feel we lacked some global warming ted talks
Gathering money.
True, they should stop talking about it, people understood, right ? And they're acting accordingly, right ?
Oh so we dead dead💀
No hes trying to say climate change isn't gonna really harm us.
I think the world is beyond recovering from climate change due to selfish corporations who will refuse to stop
But it’s cold outside🤔
Dear, I hope trees planning is perfect for climate change
*YESSSS*
If global warning is true. Where are the ancillary policies to help. Such as banding global trading and every country manufacture the product they use. Transportation supposedly creates a lot of green house gases. Supposedly reducing carbon is more important lower prices.
We should do the equivalent of geoengineering and pump ozone into the stratosphere to replenish the layer faster. We might even get it to absorb _more_ skin cancer-inducing radiation than it used to.
Good talk and good analogy. But it does break down on two main points. Cutting CFCs out of our lives was VERY easy compared to the prospect of cutting out fossil fuels. CFCs were much less critical to our lifestyle. They also posed a more clear and present danger to human beings. Keep using them and people *will* die a painful death from skin cancer. With climate change, in the minds of many people, the costs are much higher in making a change and the dangers seem less clear and, for human beings, anyway, less urgent.
It's always a curious thing to me when talking about global warming no one ever talks about the sun in the other planets in the Solar System which affect our planet isn't that weird the sun affects the heat on the planet OMG
Ask Eric Dubay
According to the UN, the single biggest change we can make in our personal lives to minimise environmental destruction is a switch to a plantbased diet. According to Harvard, a global shift to a plantbased diet would also prevent one third of all early deaths due to chronic disease.
How can you solve nonexistent issue?
Earth's climate getting cooler not warmer ...
*Plant and care for some trees!*
Everyone should commit to supporting a tree - that is, keeping it alive. All you have to do is spread a 3 or 4 inch layer of wood chips / bush mulch around the trunk all the way up to the canopy line (where the branches end) once every six months. The timber contains water and that will help water the soil and roots beneath. Worms and fungi break down the wood chips gradually, providing nutrients to the soil and roots. Leaves fall and break down as well, providing minerals to soil and roots. If there is no rain, sprinkle a bottle or two of water (tap water will do if that is all you have) over your chosen tree's mulch once a week or once a month if you don't have enough time. The water will be better than nothing. The wood chips will protect the tree roots from exposure to nasty chemicals from various sources of pollution. They will also prevent evaporation from the soil. Twice a year you can also sprinkle on the mulch a container of organic native fertiliser pellets (see Australian product "Bush Tucker" online to see something generally applicable to all trees then find the equivalent in your area).
Like this so that everyone sees this. I have an Idea for a Magnet Motor that works with magnets and superconductors nothing else ,It wouldn’t spin forever (so its not a perpetual motion machine) because magnets loose its power after like 300-400 years ,if this would work we could built a lot of these magnet motors to produce enough energy and destroy all coal-fire-stations so we have 0 emissions : )
The only problem is that I don’t know if this could actually work and I can’t Build it to Test it because I don’t have enough time... :/
Any Ideas??
@@davidgalusinski7926 Mercury.
Yes we can but with equality between consume co2 and protect ozone layer of it because if we solve this problem by disable co2 forever this will make another problem is the cold of the earth and the atmosphere so that's it
So much for cutting edge talks...
I love how many people throws out reasons to disprove climate change (or that its not caused by humans) and assume that scientists somehow didn't think of that in the course of almost a 100 years
He's right but the comparison with ozone is wrong on the most essential point: fossil fuels still create huge revenues and are supported by enormous lobbies. The products destroying the ozone weren't as much.
Some countries would even lose more than 80% of their economy by stopping extraction and burning of fossil fuels.
Not all people want a change (see in France where a small tax increase on petrol created 3 months of weekly strikes and riots so far... as of today). For most people, the end of the month is more important than an increase in freak storms, global warming or pollution which effects are not immediately seen. More people that you'd think do not care at all about future generations and you'd be surprised to see many of these people being parents.
Conclusion: with most people not wanting a change and the wealthiest companies and lobbies blocking everything, don't expect a change anytime soon!
the ozone hole was a hoax. it was not caused by our little cfc use and was instead an effort by DuPont to ban Freon gas just as the patent ran out
*Understand that half the game is keeping quiet, and carefully watching those around you. ◇*
Indeed...
New reality is irreversible!
It doesn’t need solving.
All climate change prediction have not come true. In Australia every prediction of our ex head climate change minister has not come true.
Carbon dioxide is a trace gas present at 430 ppm in our atmosphere. It consists of a carbon atom and two oxygen atoms ... hence it is called carbon dioxide. It is not called carbon by anyone who knows even a bit about science. Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas. It absorbs longwave radiation at 2.3, 4.7, and 15 micrometers. Carbon Dioxide has a slow emissivity ... it doesn't have time to radiate energy and instead it gives off heat when it expands according to the gas law and collides, transferring heat by convection, with millions of oxygen and nitrogen molecules. The earth radiates heat across the entire longwave radiation spectrum ... the amount of energy available at Carbon Dioxide's absorption spectrum is limited. The effect of CO2 as a greenhouse gas is logarithmic; its going to cause most of the warming at lower concentrations and not so much at higher concentrations. Some studies suggest the greenhouse gas effect is close to saturation ... so if you double (860 ppm) or even triple (1290 ppm) the amount of carbon dioxide you won't get much more warming effect. The best estimate of warming by increased Carbon Dioxide thought to have originated from human activity amounts to about 1.7 watts per meter squared ... or about 1% of the energy radiated by the earth in any given quantum of time. This is just one of many different atmospheric processes that affect the heat budget. There is no way to determine how much if any of the recent modest warming (0,8C since 1880) can be attributed to rising levels of CO2.
Climate Change is a natural cycle driven by the sun and moderated by ocean currents. There is nothing you can do about climate change except to adapt.
People had done millions of talks like this and will be millions more. What will it take to change the world?
Should we then stop talking about it and make more talks about how to maximize profit and increase our impact on the climate ?
Jireme good idea I suppose??
It would have to exist first
When it does, then we will solve.
And the Amazon is burning...
Yes, but we don't care to.
What matters is that you care and you make a change to help combat climate change.
Yet people still believe earth is flat...
This is brilliant speech
The ozone is a alien shield around earth
We MUST elect politicians that will act to fix this crisis. We can accept nothing less. Climate action must be the defining issue of our day. It will require fundamental change, far larger than any group of individuals can enact (although individuals need to act also). We need governments to force the necessary changes onto the companies that are the root of the cause. As AOC recently said climate delayers are the new climate deniers . We have no time left to delay.
I love TED.
Tesla cars! Here I come!
One thing that bothers me about this whole issue is that the major environmental problem facing the world in the long run clearly is overpopulation. Yeah that's a third rail nobody will touch due to politically correct reasons.
What needs to be done immediately is to establish a maximum population density per square mile or per square kilometer and to tax every country that exceeds it to the extent it exceeds it until they reduce their population density level to a reasonable sustainable level.
Yes we can! Just tell everyone it’s a hoax. Done.
The Earth has been heating up and cooling down for hundreds of thousands of years.
At which rate compared to now ?
well no you can't solve a problem that doesn't exists
You're right, it's not a problem. It's just a change, very fast, that we won't be able to deal with if we want to keep or current lifestyle for generations.
Since the answer to this problem is a total redesign of the modern industrial/economic society we want to be absolutely certain.
John 3 : 8 " The wind blows where it will and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes and whither it goes."
Is that from the Qu'ran
Last I checked John 3 : 8 didn't mention those winds setting fire to the Amazon and melting the ice caps. This is real, and unless you intend to pray for a holy life-ring, the almighty isn't going to shelter you from it
Better question: Can we solve
the global warming hoax?
Ozone layer got destroyed by UV bombardment by a sun at its grand solar maxima. Ozone layer is getting stronger again because the sun is going to a relatively inactive state ... possibly grand solar minima.
The whole idea of forcing us to invest trillions of dollars into something we have no idea would work to move the average temperature one degree without evidence is insane.
4 every 1 scientist who says it may not happen there are 10 scientists who say that is happening, you're looking for evidence that supports your comfortable way of life instead of realizing that things need to change, that means reducing meat, fly less, drive less, and buying second hand. facts dont care bout your feelings
Jonathan Landgren I will never support the stealing of my money to invest into something that has no evidence of being able to change the climate for the better. All guess work is very expensive.
@@joontte97 You just made that up. Not true at all. Even if it were, consensus is not the measure of truth. If this was really true, what should the CO2 concentration be in the atmosphere and how do we get there.

Moving the earth far to the side of the sun could be a really good way to stop it fully, and move it back when the earth is too cold.
Idealism is a wonderful ignorance. We've reduced our impact on global warming while China, India and others continue to increase their out put with little consequence. If it's truly that important, your focus wouldn't be on those progressively improving, it would be in the ones accelerating in output.
@Zhanmin Wang wow. You're truly brain washed aren't you? Your ignorance is telling.
The USA and the UK are the highest cumulative emitters of CO2, so the resposibility should be borne accordingly. Reducing your impact on climate change is not enough - it needs to get to zero as quickly as possible or the worst effects will be felt.
I do think we reduced but we also pushed towards these countries too

Sure we can but not until we stop demonizing nuclear.

Yes,
stop putting idiots in charge,
and the driving force of as long as we can make money off of it - (oil coal) for cleaner technology, we will .
How do you suggest we stop doing that?
BangDroid I (myself ) would begin by making company’s (oil, etc) change a % of there income (infrastructure) towards green technology by a certain date say (example only) 5% over 3 years then 5% over another 3 years 5% over 3 years so say (15% or highest of 20% over 10 years ) with incentives for doing it within the timeframe, (reward) or (penalty’s) if not, ( with other forward % worked out on each company’s performance and either willingness to go beyond or having hardship in doing so due to other influences) (small non multimillion company’s get help in doing so - as giving penalties is unhelpful to the process)
Also moving funding from unnecessary things (at lest in the US case - about 1/2 the military budget) to education, science, and infrastructure .
Cleaner technology is not used because i t's not as cost effective. Simply put... Switching purely to clean technology would simply bankrupt your whole economy. Plus the problem is third world countries not the first ones.
Tespri which is exactly why I said (begin ) and small incremental percentages over time, of years, not in one giant go - but a minimum limit of (%) must be reached by a certain timeframe, ((Example - ( you ) must save 2-3% on there next years electric bill, - that’s not a lot over an entire year, ))
remember this is for multi million/billion Dollar companies, and smaller ones get help from government to reach it, while it would only effect (wherever) this is where the likes of NATO and such would have to come into play to try and help the less fortunate countries into reaching certain goals (again not instantly but again 1-2% should not be hard over say 2 years or some (other workable number )
