    "Businesses are waiting for consumers to change their buying behaviour". Where did that come from? They're actively driving consumer buying behaviour

    Great talk, the best so far. Stopped flying taking cold showers and it feels empowering

    Good talk. I already know what to do, but I'm limited in what I can do for financial reasons.

      Me too! Solar and batteries enough to power a house and EV, plus the EV, would cost $70,000 plus. We insulated the house, $10,000 In materials and a lot of work. Another $15,000 to replace the gas furnace and hot water heater with heat pump. Plus a month for me to install them. Insulated curtains, not very expensive. But a month so sew them. Replace gas stove with induction, $1,500. But it took me time to run the new wires, repair and repaint the walls, etc. We no longer fly, but take trains or drive to local coastlines and mountains. We drive much less. Keep the house colder in winter and warmer in summer. Avoid plastics as we can. Buy concerts and dinners instead of material gifts, etc. And with all of this, we have consumed a lot to conserve. Hmmm.

      @@freeheeler09 Some things are more important to replace than others. You can make a judgment call for each piece. The EV would be significant in how it changes your behaviors and expenses, not to mention patterns. The wires seem more of an 'as-needed' thing unless there are some problems or the electrician determines faults. The gas furnace would probably be #2 with gas costs, and the heat pump would probably be a lot cheaper and more efficient. The induction stove could probably wait until the stove starts getting a little old or problematic. As it's part of the plan, you might want to start collecting the right pots/pans/etc in the meantime.
      Doing your best to balance out the wear and costs with the consumption is the best way. Avoid payment plans and loans to avoid expensive interest.

    Every year the world occasionally held a few meetings for climate change, all the world leaders must walk the talked to mitigate climate warming.

      Thousands of research studies prove that our emissions caused ~98% of all global warming since 1900.

    Knowing what we do about the impact of animal agriculture on climate change, if we are not vegan, we are not taking the simplest and most effective action can.
    The system can't stop us being vegan, it's our choice and I'm not just talking about what we eat.
    If we are not vegan, we are only activists in terms of what we want government, industry etc to do but not demanding the same of ourselves.
    It is important to lead by example where we can.
    It is so frustrating when the discussion about climate change doesn't have anything to do with animal agriculture.

    Extremely general and manipulative talk, still very enlightening in decoding human behavior in the face of real or not so real crises and challenges.

      No it doesn’t. CO2 emissions do not cause climate change.

      Climate change has nothing to do with humans. Do your research and look back in time and you'll see it changed all the time when humans weren't even around or had minimal effects

      And population of global south moving to global north. Lots of clear cutting of forests and overfishing and destruction of rivers in both global north and south. Populations still growing too fast and displacing wildlife in global south. Enough blame to go around.
