- Lonnie will share his “heart to heart” assessment of the climate change we are experiencing, its effects on the world’s highest glaciers, and the reasons he is hopeful for the future.
Dr. Thompson is one of the foremost authorities on paleoclimatology and glaciology. He's led 64 expeditions, conducting ice-core drilling programs in the Polar Regions as well as on the high mountain glaciers in 16 countries. He and his team were the first to develop lightweight solar-powered drilling equipment for the acquisition of histories from ice fields in the high Andes and on Mount Kilimanjaro. The results from these ice-core-derived climate histories have been published in more than 240 articles. He has received numerous awards including the John and Alice Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement and selected as Time magazine and CNN's America's Best in science and medicine. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and was awarded the U.S. National Medal of Science. Lonnie was also elected as a foreign member of the Chinese National Academy of Sciences and received the Benjamin Franklin Medal and the International Science and Technology Cooperation Award. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Thank you Lonnie. These environmental talks give me hope that other people are still caring enough about this to make a difference.
Excellent comment.
@@TubularAuric only thanks to an excellent video
Wonderful
Wonderful presentation, Mr. Thompson. Your perseverance and positivity are inspiring. Thank you so much~
Real brave heart and what magnificent expeditions even with heart transplant . Nothing is a barrier to save to save nature.
❤️❤️❤️
Read your all papers on Ice core, Thank you from mankind, Love from India :)
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Agree!
Fascinating 🌍🌎🌏😎
"..and we act now.."
Ok.. I feel like I was left hanging there. What exactly is the solution that he may be suggesting?
there dozens of solutions and small things you could be doing, pick one or you can pull carbon out of the air using molten lithium bicarbonate and use it to create carbon nanotubes soo that you create a semi valuable waste product....
LIKE I SAID WHERE ARE THE INTERVIEWS OF THE LOCAL TRIBAL PEOPLE ON THE WEATHER CONDITIONS IN THEIR AREAS?
Bu sabah gözlerimi açtım, papağanlarımın sesleri geliyor diğer odadan. Vay anasını hala yaşıyorum..! Kuşlarımın yemlerini sularını tazeleyip, bir kahve yaptım birde sıgara yaktım oturdum bilgisayarın karşısına. HALA YAŞIYORUM..!Gözlerimi açtığımda düşüncemin bana ilk tepkimesiydi bu.! Peki ama neden bukadar olumsuzlara rağman, örneğin, ülkemin cayır cayır yanması, yönetenlerin içinde bir tane insan kanı taşıyan bir canlı olmaması, kısaca ATATÜRKÜN emanetine sahip çıkamamak gibi Bİ dünya olumsuzluk. Sadece kuşlara beslediğim SEVGİ miydi bani yaşatan..? Farkına vardım ki sadece kuşlar değilmiş, önce kendimi sevdiğimi, sonra gerçekten doğru insan kanı taşıyan tüm insanları en önemlisi ATAMIN bana emanet ettiği ülkemi çok ama çok SEVDİĞİMİN anladım. Ama çaresiz hissediyordum kendimi, bir şeyler yapmam gerekiyordu.. O anda HAKAN YEDİCAN, HAMZA YARDIMCIOĞLU, ZEHİRLİ MİKRAFON. İsmini sayamadıklarım alınmasın..! Doğru bilgiye ulaşabildiğim insanlar çıktı TH-cam den karşıma..bilginin doğruluğunu nasıl test ettin derseniz..? Adamların savundukları tek şey SEVGİ FRAKANSI..! Nacizane tavsiyem HAKAN YEDİCAN VE HAMZA YARDIMCIOĞLU nu TH-cam den takip edin. Çaresiz olmadığımızı görün, ve gerçekten doğru bilgiye ulaştığlnlzl ve tek çarenin SEVGİ olduğunu görün.. Önce kendinizi sonra ailenizi ve ATAMIZIN emanet ettiği BU cennet ülkemizi SEVİN.. Herkese SEVGİ ler.
Unless Govts worldwide enact Laws and also provide incentives on Industry, Business and Manufacturing, nothing will improve the environment, wildlife survival, urban encroachment, and pollution. People care, but greed power & wealth override. Massive public pressure for change is needed.
"Things only change when they need to. Not when they should." 🤔🐦😦
Key words "mindset change". Yup. If ANY change is to be achieved we have to change our mindset. And if we can just do that we can fix our medical industry, fix our prison system, fix our government, fix our environment, end the disturbance of addiction in society...sooo how do we do that?! Quickly! People are dieing right now.
Great handle.
💕💕
Nice work
What a hero with sensibility and Intellect 👏
What kind of people go around disliking these kinds of videos?!
Absolutely moronic humans
I disliked it
We HAVE to find a way to stop multi-nationals and resource companies from funding our political parties so that our governments can have the WILL to make the changes we need before it's too late. It's like recycling - industry put the onus on the individual instead of taking care of it themselves on a scale that would count. The scale that counts is governmental and industry and industry will only change if made to or if it is too expensive not to.
High jumpers from Qatar & Italy decide to share gold medal 👌🙌😁
We can try to reconstruct the ice capped mountains if we create artificial ice mountain by putting up a frame with plastic pipes with ropes tied to create a skeletal structure on which the ice can form when the icy wind blow on them . This is already done in Ladak in Himalaya . they have created several ice towers or Ice Stupas . even strings across adjacent mountains or just tree branches can form small ice towers . If all mountain climbers make 2-6 such frames . gradually a line of ice towers will be formed and they will grow to great heights in the long run . Since freezing cold winds are flowing always , some frame for precipitating them can solve this problem to a certain extent .
I wonder what happens when we cross the highest avarage global temperature just before the last ice age.
I personally think it's too late to stop global warming and current politics makes any meaningful change impossible. Certain autocratic nations will never sacrifice stability and prosperity in the name of climate, not without a literal revolution.
We need to start preparing for rising sea levels and frequent natural disasters just as much as we are trying to stop global warming.
I feel global warming is inevitable and we are just accelerating it with our industry.
Mother doesn't care and father is patient. It would a shame to have come so far and progressed so little. Previous extinctions might have had it better up to a particular day. So much for our intelligence, distractions and hubris.
This MIGHT BE the fastest climate changing times of all time but we're also in a time of unmatched science solutions!
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Colossians 1:16,17
Guys it's over humanity's fate has already been decided, we are all just living towards that conclusion. If you lot think you've seen/experienced horror just you wait.
Well I don't think waiting has like ever been off the table, BUT, slow as it may be, or seem, solutions are being found.
☺️☺️👋
👏
Frank Butcher got all sciency
It's climate change Paaat.
I appreciate all this info. Begs the question.....who 's to say the world is not trying to return to normal? Why do we automatically assume all the ice covered land is normal.....simply because " its been that way as long as we have records". This world is billions of years old. The land masses have changed, climate has changed through the millennia. Perhaps its returning to normal.
There is no such thing as "normal" when it comes to the state of the world. It's ever changing.
The changes are happening FASTER than anything on record, barring an astroid. That is why scientist are alarmed. The SPEED of change is alarming!!!
The return to eden, the world will soon be a tropical fruity paradise tehe
@@loganlewis7083 well? Seriously. It has been proven that Vikings once lived and farmed on Greenland. They couldn't have done that if it was covered in ice. Ice core samples have shown evidence of forestation in the Antiarctic. Dinosaurs once roamed the entire planet. Can you survive among dinosaurs? Maybe evolution is attempting to resurrect dinosaurs and rid the world of man.
Maybe the planet has a galactic equilibrium by virtue of it's position in the stars. If we heat it artficially it will eliminate heat into space by mechanical means (i.e., tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc..and even massive snowstorms.) and return to equilibrium.
The earth could have a fever..
Fot a second I thought he was Carmine Lupertazzi Sr
I gota message for the worlds largest insects and its armada fucken up the garden. Heads yall are gona face equal judgement for your reflection of the soul. The eternity is like jumping in a frozen lake
Malarkey delivered nicely.
Science delivered at a basic level, which is too far above a denier's head.
@@scottekoontz Well just keep that "basic level" science coming and hopefully we can find solutions for these things!
This is beyond our control. Man contributes but not responsible This is a political agenda.
Who else is contributing???
The best way to tackle climate change: Restrict birth rates. Only 1 child per 2 humans and perhaps in some areas, no children at all.
You would get the same if not better response if you increase the rights and education level of women around the world. Free birth control and family planning. You don’t have to be authoritarian about it. Some countries (Japan and Germany) already have declining populations
@@alexreid1173 You are right but....The problem with that approach, is that we've ran out of time just to sit and watch the results. Especially when in whole continents a huge rise of the population is expected. 4 Billion out of Africa. And India is on the rise too. There is no time.
So let's raise taxes on just the Western civilizations.
No
it's the farming in the 3rd world that will push the climate toward a runaway greenhouse effect, what good would higher taxes do?
@FatBob 1% yes, yes tax everyone in the WEST.
@@ZennExile Young one. So our "elected" oneS and their masters get PAID!
@FatBob 1% bob, when people don't argue with you about these things, it's not because they agree, it's because they understand you aren't smart enough to understand reality, so you just imagined your own to replace it and do the best you can with that.
Which is fine, as long as you don't start trying to share your delusions with other people, or use your delusions to make decisions for other people.
Make sure you aren't "pretending" to know what is best when you could very easily be getting qualified help. No sense being "that guy", ya know?
This is therory and a religion
Yup
Nope
Record-breaking floodwaters and the record-breaking melting of sea ice, the rapidly warming ocean waters, and the rapidly melting ice shelves and glaciers are real - but since the idiotic lunatics have no realistic way to stop the horror, listening to them is a waste of time.
@@WhirledPublishing Of course, we should be looking to those who have solutions that REALLY work. And we'll be successful to the degree that those solutions are actually working. People are always wanting to question❓ if there is a major problem. Especially when the solutions are major undertakings. So the debate rages on!
Water is coming
Well better than NO water. 🌊💦 And look on the bright side where water is things grow! Ok, well that was kinda an unnecessary comment.
Entropy.
Law!
How?
This comment section is more disheartening than what he's saying in the video
I´d say nuclear energy - but I am not a expert on this. Your thoughts, folks?
Solar, wind, and/or hydro
@@07trailshredder Wow, 😳 for such a huge topic 'crickets' for 2 months. I think everyone might be just burned out over all the arguments on these issues!? Seriously tho, I think most of us realize by now that alot of technology is being thrown at the problem and we will find solutions. And those solutions will come from a little of everything....nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, etc. etc.
@@JohnWaaland right so I apologize my reply didn't get enough likes. Next time I reply on a comment I'll try to make it go viral. Also who's arguing? And about what?
@@07trailshredder Well, anyhew, it is what it is. This video didn't get much comments. But, have a nice day and maybe talk back at me!
Can someone direct me to a talk where this guy discusses actual science (experimental method, uncertainies, analytical framework) rather then these non-technical gee-whiz talks? I can find none.
Greenland is wiping away due to man activities. Let fix ourselves first to make a better world and a good ecosystem
Prove it - send me a link
the problem is, David, that the "activities" of a handful of very wealthy "men" are solely responsible for 99.9% of the problem. And they are all spending lots of their stolen and psychopathically hoarded wealth to inspire people like you to point figures at "the other guy" or "at yourself", so you don't notice them. Because they will never stop until they die. They are mentally ill hoarders. They literally can't.
So it really doesn't matter what "we" do. And you, don't even understand enough of the problem to even form an idea about what to do. You probably don't even know about the global desertification of farmland and the systematic annihilation of the Rhizosphere. And if Dupont and Monstanto have their way, you never will know.
How about you save the "let's fix ourselves" propaganda, is all I am saying.
@@ZennExile I agree
@@ZennExile It seems he was basically saying we are ALL in this together. Or, should be. What's so confusing about that?
@@JohnWaaland we aren't all in this together. Some of us are quite literally, doing their own thing. And those people are destroying the planet without any help from the rest of us. We are NOT all in this together. That is the most fukt up lie there is.
You get 7 thousand dollars of B…..sh!t
WHERE ARE THE TRIBAL PEOPLE FROM THESE AREAS LET THEM SPEAK ABOUT THESE SUBJECTS INSTEAD OF SHOWING FAKE GRAPHS + FAKE CHARTS!
You seem to know what the tribal people know, and in fact from across the globe. Why don’t you make a documentary and present the data to the world? Oh and one last thing, do those tribal people launch satellites to record ice levels across decades? It’s a simple question.
She a troll dude not worth conversation
LIKE I SAID WHERE IS YOUR LOCAL INTERVIEWS OF LOCAL PEOPLE INDIGENOUS TO THESE LOCATIONS? THEY WOULD KNOW WEATHER PATTERNS AND THE LIKE!
@@4globalpeacedotcom You are the one who’s claiming to have evidence based on local people. YOU are claiming this, YOU are the one who has to provide the evidence. Personally, I think you are RIDICULOUS. But nevertheless, provide us with the evidence and it will be decided, how ridiculous you are.
I'm so blessed to be a Christian!! Although I really appreciate science and scientists, God is ultimately in control and all knowing! We can't leave God out of anything because it all boils down to Him. Amen!
or God invented Science to help guide you to ultimate truth. What if God is giving you the keys to the Universe and you're spitting at the gesture like you know better than God what divine purpose is? You ever stop to think about that, Karen? Or has this not popped up in your feed yet?
I'll not stand on a soap box though you've put yourself in a position that you can not do otherwise. gl
God doesn't exist
@@ujjalshill6442 if that is true then you are irrelevant.
@@wicomms I know that
SUCH NONSENSE!
Take it you're a climate specialist?!
INTERVIEW THE FOLKS THE ACTUAL FOLKS THAT LIVE + WORK IN THOSE REMOTE AREAS. LETS INTERVIEW THEM + STOP DRAGGING FOLKS OUT OF THE WOOD WORK THAT SUPPORT THE FALSE PROPAGANDA NARRATIVES = CLIMATE CHANGE! = FALSE AGENDAS + FALSE CAUSES ONGOING!
And your counter argument is?
