  • www.ted.com Human growth has strained the Earth's resources, but as Johan Rockstrom reminds us, our advances also give us the science to recognize this and change behavior. His research has found nine "planetary boundaries" that can guide us in protecting our planet's many overlapping ecosystems.
    TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts.

    It's 2022 as I write this and I can't help but think that this video was in the good old days when it all started to unravel. Now we have surpassed five of the nine planetary boundaries, an addition of two more in only 12 additional years. It's hard to not think we are doomed. I try to keep an open mind about how we could turn it all around at the last second, but I don't believe we will. We are not making the kind of sacrifices necessary, and I don't think we will make those sacrifices until it is far too late (if it isn't already). We are living in the end of days for our civilization.

It must be something one is born with. Not everyone has babies on their brains 24/7. Some of us, like me, care about those already alive more than creating copies of ourselves. In fact, having a kid is an almost sickening idea to me, but I do understand many apparently feel something different than I do.

      A lot of things are changing in the right direction too. For example, it seems we are pretty close to have Nuclear Fusion energy (by 2024), if that happens, that would add the best energy source ever inveted by human kind!!! (yes, it's a lot better than nuclear fision). Investment in the green transition is growing fast, solar panels tecnology is also founding new better ways, and battery too (diferent options reduce the preasure on resources and production chain). ♻🌱

    What a wonderful speech. No hyperbole, no hard-sell, what more do you want than pictures of the horrendous changes that are happening? How much more motivation than we need to act now? The "leave things alone and they will be fine" mentality hasn't worked for 20+ years. Why do people think it would work now? I hope people like Johan will continue to bring innovations to people everywhere!

    Technology only works when we use it efficiently. What form of energy gives the maximum return on investment when materials and energy to produce that technology is considered? Some that are considered "Green" might be the same sort of green trade off as that found between the plastic and paper bags. Back in the day paper bags were a nasty thing and we went plastic to save the forests, It turns out plastic has a worse impact than paper.

      @ClimateveganOrg 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Rockström is better than most scientists (who are specialists and rarely think systemically). But he does fail in the way that many scientists do -- show their discoveries and offer no actions. The biggest "action" takeaway from their paper is that aerosols and chemical boundaries can't be measured -- so quick, let's measure them! We need more research! Yes, please do, scientists; that's what you're good at. Unfortunately, the baton for action is picked up by non-scientific people like me -- people with an agenda. #ClimateVegan :)
      Changing light bulbs is symbolic of the extremely minimal change of personal habits encouraged by most environmental NGOs and government departments with "environment" in their title. Our society is prepared to march to our oblivion because we are addicted to comfort, and we are encouraged in this behaviour by our military industrial complex that believes in infinite economic growth, and by corporate interests who will block the truth from reaching the mainstream. We can solve the climate crisis by eating plants. Proof: #lifestyleCarbonDividend

      Don't have children. That's one thing you can do. Talk about overpopulation to other people. That's another thing you can do and make them aware of the global problems, that you know about. Of course you can do much more than this, but i think we really need to start thinking about a smaller human population. Hopefully we'll understand that we're too many before nature takes over and will show it to us the hard way.
      There are so many problems, that i'm afraid it's too complicated for many people to understand what to do. A smaller population size tackles all of those problems at once.

      We do not think he concluded that science says so. We feel that his conclusion calls for better and more sincere collaboration between countries. If all countries realized these effects and consciously attended to these based on the peculiarity of their case, such all-round efforts would go a long way. The economics of profit, however, militates against this.

      It looks like he staged it that way to put emphasis on what he was saying about abruptly falling into situations you are not prepared for. Either that or he's a cat because he landed on his feet. :-D

    @apowers7 Just to clarify, you're talking about the ijjesus guy? If so I had a conversation with him on a some previous video and he doesn't understand what nonsense he is talking.

    The answer of course is education. Stats show that educated families have less children.

      >95% of the next billion people will be born in Africa and Asia in the next 15 years. We have set a poor example of consumption for the developing world, and population is only a problem if they follow our lead. You are correct that education = security = smaller families, but that education should be promoting sustainable practices. Meat is not sustainable. Eating high on the food chain is massively inefficient, pollutive and devastating to our personal carbon and water footprint, and is the #1 actor of most of Rohan Rockström's planetary boundaries. The nitrogen and phosphorous cycles have been pushed into unknown territory because of the fertilization of monocultured crops grown to feed the animals we eat. Rockström says we need more forests, not less -- allow me to translate that into stopping the #1 cause of deforestation and desertification -- animal agriculture. If humans decided to eat plants all forests could be regrown as in 1800, and the carbon sequestered to 1750 levels! (google "lifestyle carbon dividend").

    Ten years and we are in the exact same predicament, if not worse. How disappointing.

    redundancy not optimisation!
    Coming from a place of abundance of effort, rather than scarcity of effort.
