We have to do both. It's too late to reverse all the effects so we must adapt but we also must mitigate as much as possible.

[@GreenDolphinProject]

For sure.

[@aarononeal9830]

Now this needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees

[@GreenDolphinProject]

Thanks for clarifying this. Great information.

[@aver155]

It's very inaccurate though...

[@OnceUponATechie]

what happened to the audio? It sounds so bad

[@lovemorenkomo732]

We have to adapt and mitigate. The effects of climate change may not be get rid of in a short space of tym. Meanwhile we are trying to mitigate,we have to adapt to the harsh effects of climate change

[@JasurbekAbdualimov-bt2ck]

It is useful content 👍

[@panterafanloco1600]

First, end capitalism.

[@jujitsujew23]

good luck with that

[@udhayakumar.v005]

It's much better to avoid "Crony Capitalism" 🙏💐🙂

[@leahs.1480]

I have heard that a lot on videos like these but looking at it from a logical stance that seems like a terrible idea. Could you explain how that would help the climate crisis?

[@udhayakumar.v005]

@@leahs.1480 when people are doing their business in the mode of "As business in usual scenario" sidelining the climate change's vulnerabilities that makes issues to face it in a 'Cold shoulder'{avoid to recognise} manner by ignoring CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY activities or they tend to do CSR just as an 'Eyewash' for the common public .

[@leahs.1480]

@@udhayakumar.v005O.k. so you like capitalism you just wish that consumers would focus more on environmental concerns and social responsibility rather than the quality of the product, the quality of life improvements and the affordability?

[@terenceiutzi4003]

Over 100 years ago, Millankovitch warned us to prepare for this minimum, but we chose to fight the non- existent global warming instead! So we are doomed!

[@user-cv1jb9xv2p]

🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@lesbyenidortiz8655]

What does he mean no single path

[@nottheone582]

theres a variety of different strategies, tactics and scales of approaches to adaptation and mitigation. eg. lots of ways to accomplish the same/similar goals

[@terenceiutzi4003]

Well man has no effect on the climate so all we can do is adapt. If we had started 100 years ago when Milankovitch warned us of this minimum we could have saved billions of lives! But we listened to politicians instead

[@paulsnow]

Deaths from natural disasters have gone down by 50x in the last 100 years and we see record lows in climate deaths now.
So what lives are you talking about?

[@terenceiutzi4003]

@@paulsnow you mean like the 10,000 that were killed by the hurricane that hit Galveston in 1800?or the 20,000 that died in the hurricane that hit Houston in 1929?

[@paulsnow]

@Terence Iutzi the hurricane deaths are chump change. How about the millions and millions of people who died of starvation in Russia, China, and their satellites in the early 1900s. But also orher countries. Wikipedia has a list.
Today only conflicts and political oppression starves people.

[@aguBert90]

Even algae affects the climate, so yes, our collective activity can affect the climate and actually affects our enviroment. We do not live in another ontological zone that we are not able to affect the enviroment, thats phillosophically really dumb. You think you live in another realm, bet you are a really abstract person, perhaps religious.

[@gregorymalchuk272]

​@@terenceiutzi4003Exactly. And that was before carbon emissions began to be climatologically relevant post WW2. And climate deaths continue to drop.

[@ianuragaggarwal]

Yes, dont do any thing.

[@sosenaneway3788]

the climate has always been change and it will keep on changing. we like the climate change in africa, because it's bringing us more rain and we're not sinking. Don't generalize.

It's wrong to hire a man to play a woman when there are lots of talented women out there who could use a host job.
