Progressives caused all this progress. So now we should become conservatives?

Marx very much favoured progress.

The title is a bit click bait-ish. Who pushes progress? Not conservatives.

10:04: you need to heat it at 1600 degrees Celcius. How much does that cost?

Ezra Klein, do I detect a slight rightward shift? Much of what you are saying was said a long time ago, and especially by Ronald Reagan. The left, at the time, ridiculed his ideas about supply-side economics. We are on the same page when it comes to government getting in the way. California epitomizes destructive government when it comes to housing (zoning, building regulations, green regulations, etc.) and to an increasing amount, business formation. We diverge on universal healthcare. Supply - side promotes competition (something you did not cover in your talk, at least in the above snippet). A better system that promotes competition and the freedom to chose, would be health savings accounts (HSA) along with more pricing disclosure in a system run amok because of third-party insurance which leaves the user of medical services in the dark. Direct Primary Care (DPC) is showing that primary care can be cheaper and of higher quality because third-parties are not permitted to play in that game. I have no problem with government, charities, family members, etc. funding HSAs for those in need. Let individuals with their primary physicians decide on what is best for them and how to spend money from their HSA accounts. Supply-side without free markets is meaningless. Competition rewards those to make stuff people want. Producers are incentivized to make new thing or old things better and, more importantly, cheaper than noncompetitive systems could ever do.

Your beard looks so stupid dude. You're not a trendsetter, no one's going to follow it. I bet you were not able to adequately grow hair on the side of your face so you thought you would come up with this. If anyone has ever, ever, EVER told you this looks good they were lying to you. It is insanely distracting from anything you try to convey. If I were The Economist I would make you sign something saying to remain employed you would shave that off. You're making them look stupid too.

Completely irrelevant grifting.

The high relative costs of nuclear are implied by the high labour costs of that option. Why choose a more expensive form of energy production just to employ people? There are other more productive things they could be doing. Nuclear doesn't pair well with solar and wind vs batteries, pumped hydro and even gas (if you really want to burn fossil fuels). Sorry nuclear, you were kind of ok for a while, if you ignore long-term waste, but we'll see you when you mature into fusion.

Unionisation & re unionise! That aside community energy coopertives. The corporate world as representing the collective ego weaponised individalism out of fear of collective action. Ruining living standards & expecting us to roll over while they also ruin our air, water, climate.... & put us on zero hrs side hustles to do it for them ... while scapegoating climate migrants, sweatshop labour in other countries & the very things that could actually help save us if done right {inc Nuc}...... that might just might be over-reach🙏🙏💚💚 Simon P Michaux is doing some fantastic work on the Realistic Tranistion which call the Purple Tranistion, as thein his view the Green one has too many naive & wrong headed notions associated with it - especially the anti nuclear fears {orginating from cold war weaponisation which they had a point.... }but it all got terribly confused & messed with so baby n coolant water got thrown out.

Temporary construction jobs are important for absorbing many tens of thousands of workers in solar and in other parts of the construction industry. Mining pays a lot of workers. Transporting panels from ports and on trucks to job sites pays a lot of workers. Electricity as an input enables economic activity that pays workers. We should draft young men from violent neighborhoods to put solar panels on roofs everywhere

Or we could build low-pressure/high-temperature reactors that are far better, safer and much cheaper. Except the NRC hates any new technology and stops this progress.

There far far more harmful mining involved in going all electric power with accompanying paraphenalia, the hazardous batteries along with the material structures that need replacement within 20yrs neither can be recycled...! Meanwhile the energy used to manufacture wind & solar is only slightly less than the units actually produce for the short life time they are on line...! ALL which causes immense landfills issues to safely bury them...! Where's the positive here...? That's not rain you feel...!!!

It's certainly not for commonsense reality tho abandons it to literally chase windmill's but without the "donkey" for being one led by Globalism...!

Nice talk.

I don't think anyone is trying to say that Big ENGO's resources are in any way comparable to those of Big Oil. We're just saying that Big ENGO is using their considerable (3% of US philanthropy is a lot) resources for the wrong things.

The Sierra Club opposes nuclear power, which means they are just money-hungry posers. It really is that simple.

Such a smart person and a discourse so loaded up with fallacies and short term thinking.

Those trousers

40 years ago that BULLSHIT used to be "Global cooling", than "Global warmong",than more digestive "Climate change", but it is money laundering scams on the global level. Always been, always will be

Clean air and water are also republican values so no gain there..

The democrats can gain support just by stopping to talk about climate change. But then, the other Dem variables start to look not so hot or clear cut. That happens when you use orwellian language like the 'inflation reduction act'. Playing a losing game. Next gen Dems please. This one is dead..

You are saying "um", way too often.

Sure we do. But in Germany we had 3 years of Green and Red (economical and social) and all we have seen was selfish embezzlement. I would expect that from the yellow (liberals) but the two parties that always talks high morals? So...detailed fixing and fair share of costs does not work. So better...cut the tax and we go under happy...saying this feels like being a musician of the Titanic. btw the detailed fixing also doesn't work as one or two countries alone can't counter what countries like China, India or entire Africa does. And you can't convince anyone with high morals when their people are starving. And when trying to force any of those countries...our wealth comes from those countries. A part of our wealth is "mistreating" the Chinese and Asian markets and using Africa as a junkyard.

14%? Sounds about right

Climate fraud. According to NOAA NASA the earth has greened more then 20% since 1970 thanks to the miniscule rise in CO2 levels. Optimal CO2 levels for vegetation are 3-4 times higher than current levels. Temperature and CO2 have always risen after each periodical 'little ice age'. Usually 5-9 degrees. Previous little ice age ended around 1870. Did you know they were ice skating on the Thames river London in the 1800's? Also USA: Galveston Bay froze over from Houston to Galveston Island in the 1800s; the ground in Dallas was frozen on Mayday then too, the settlement "La Reunion" had to quit and move into town. In New York City in 1780, the harbor froze over, offering residents a frigid walk from Manhattan to Staten Island. Did you know these same 'scientists' were terrified of CO2 levels dropping below 300ppm and an imminent new 'ice age' in the 1970's? (e.g., Balling 1992, Giddens 1999, Schlesinger 2003, Inhofe 2003, Will 2004, Michaels 2004, Crichton 2004, Singer and Avery 2007, Horner 2007). These 'scientists' income is dependent on fear mongering. There are plenty of honest scientists exposing this fraud but the MSM can't make money if there's no 'drama' to report. Do a little research. I don't mean 'Google' research 🙄

Leftwing wackos.

The carbon footprint of a third world migrant rises by up to 1000% upon settling in America. Who supports importing millions of migrants into the USA? Rich Democrats almost exclusively. Go figure

Only those who feel they must signal virtue but are ignorant vote based on the climate narrative. Too little food and available energy will be a problem much sooner that too much CO2. The climate on a water planet is not sensitive to changes in CO2 because water has similar properties and dominat the atmosphere. CO2 has a bigger role to play when it comes to greening the earth and make everything grow better with less water.

First off I am on your side. However, I am going to criticize this video. It's offensive and probably counterproductive. At times, the speaker comes across as arrogant. Regarding anthropogenic climate change: Many voters don't care. It's not even a top ten issue. Many voters will vote against anyone talking about it. Lastly, many people disbelieve there is a problem with the climate. Separately, it is both a scientific and rhetorical mistake to link or conflate "climate change" and "the environment" the way the speaker is doing in this video. These are entirely separate issues. For example if you ask a conservative Republican in Texas, is it OK to spend money on windmills so we don't destroy the atmosphere/climate they'll say: fuck you, Drill baby drill. If you ask the same person, is it OK if the factory you work at poisons your drinking water, and your children get brain tumors, and your grandchildren have birth defects... it hits different. Lastly, this is not a US domestic political issue. The way you are talking about "Republicans" is wrong and bad. That's not the name of the problem. The way you can tell this is true is because there are only about 100,000,000 Republicans in the world which is about 1.25% of the human population of earth and less than one billionth of the mammals. For example there are more deer on this planet than Republicans in the United States.

"Don't tell the Republicans" ??? You uploaded this to KZbin.

Hydrogen reactor

I mean hydrogen

Does it has a reactor without reactor it can cause a chain reaction

It's pretty hard to give a damn when we can barely afford groceries. "climate taxes" have the opposite effect of what politicians think they do.

I know few people from my wider surroundings who always talks about climate or enviroment. None of them do as they preach. All of them have cellphones, cars, go on vaccations with airplanes, use plastics... in general they are no less "evil" for the climate than me or you. What they do seem to like is the "moral high ground", the pat on back, post on social media about how good they are, they like to tell others what not to do or attack rights of others under the banner of "greater good". I guess there are people who really care about the climate but i think the majority of those people are simply posers or individuals who like to shout at others. You see, in order to achieve their goal, they need you or to be precise, they need to get rid of your way of life and after that the better people can continue to enjoy everything like before. Or why exactly the most rich people can always avoid any inconvenience it brings.

Climate change is pseudoscience

Almost as if people percieve the inflation as a greenflation. Hearing green talking points makes them think about inflation.

Climate change is natural thing in past Sahara was lush farmland, we only need adept to changes and do not end as bronze age civilisation that collapsed to droughts that last 50+ years

What is really scary is that nobody talks about a coming actual world-wide disaster - population collapse.

If starting with a faulty premise, it's amazing where seemingly logical argumentation can take one

The people against net zero and mass migration and identity politics, the establishment are for it

It's a provable scam. Only the mentally weak or people exploiting it for their own gain care about global warming.

voting rights and climate change being at the bottom of the list speaks to weird contrasts in todays world… old and young

Re-branding weather as climate change is a 'bait and switch' tactic utilized by thieves.

You can tell this polling made its way to the Biden campaign. The entire Inflation Reduction Act had huge climate benefits but wasn't even in the name!

This is also based on self-reported data. There’s a big difference between what people say they care about and what they actually care about. Apart from the handful of radicals still chaining themselves to trees, most of these “very liberal” people who claim to care so much about the environment are young white girls from wealthy families. And, as a marketer for 25 years now, I can assure you that these same young women are super-consumers. They travel, eat out, and buy clothing, etc at far higher rates than any other statistically-relevant cohort. To them, concern for the planet is just an expression of concern for their own social standing. So rather than doing something meaningful which requires sacrifice, like reducing their consumption to a level below the average Republican, they simply buy different stuff. This is the group that actually falls for bullshit “ethics” messages shameless brands use to alleviate rich airheads of the guilt they might have otherwise experienced. Instead, the latest “eco-friendly” trinkets and baubles, designed in Denmark and made from a bit of bamboo and partially-recycled textiles, it all features soft-touch sealants and coatings, and usually a fair bit of silicon ….but all of this is done in China, where there are essentially no environmental controls, so all this crap is dyed, polished, and sealed with God knows what sort of toxic solvents the West probably banned 60 years ago….then it’s all wrapped in kraft-colored packaging, essentially to maintain the ruse. All the boxes and slip covers and fancy supports to cradle the cargo in transit far exceed what’s used for the products normal people buy. Finally, it’s shipped on a massive diesel-burning cargo ship halfway across the world, before making its way through a network of colossal logistics centers on diesel-burning 18-wheelers en route to its grand debut in the unboxing video some smug, self-righteous tart will create for TikTok, in a shamelessly transparent attempt to show how much more she cares for the planet than less-wealthy peers. The worst part? The greenwashed gadget is unlikely to be used at all after a few short weeks, if that. Because, you see, the cringy video was the only reason she made the purchase in the first place. And here we have some nerd-neck simp telling us how these spoiled brats actually care the most-because they say they care on surveys. Of course they say how much they care. They live for the chance to tell the world how much they care. Meanwhile, do we know which organization has made the biggest impact on preserving our wetlands, volunteer-lead stewardship over millions of acres of forest and marsh? Ducks Unlimited. That’s right, hunters: old white mean with trucks and guns who vote Trump. These are the people who grew up leaning conservation from their fathers and grandfathers, not to “save the planet” by electing the richest liberals from the richest cities, but because they have a moral obligation to respect and tend to the lands which their forebears were so blessed to inhabit, so that fathers and sons for many generations to come may continue to responsibly manage native populations of deer and waterfowl, as the tip of the spear controlling the growth of invasive pig and fish species that not only threaten fragile freshwater ecosystems, but cause widespread erosion that poses an extensional threat to the farms we all depend on. This sense of stewardship is not some charming folksy quirk of the American South. It is essential for anyone who wishes to live an ordered life of service to their families and fellow man-and in service to the God who entrusted us with this sacred charge. All this environmental stuff is new to western liberals. It only became important a few decades back, when they realized even the hippie movement was not enough to tip the scales of economic and political power. They needed a reason to make everyone take part in the dismantling of capitalism. Now it’s not just a handful of perverts and potheads stealing fruit from corporate grocers and soiling public restrooms while following The Dead. No sir. Today it’s Mark Cuban, Tim Cook, Nancy Pelosi, and Laureen Powell Jobs-people with greater power and wealth than even the oil barons of a century ago. They fly private and without shame, which everyone knows. But few know how these champions of progress are also insulted wherever they go, by a plume of fragrances ever-diffusing from all the fine fabrics, lotions, and fresh flowers always so close at hand. In private they snack on Japanese mussels, prime steaks, and copious amounts of wine-all while telling the cameras how hard they are trying to save the world-and the only thing standing in their way is the sick and stubborn simpletons, homophobic hunters and crazy Christians who occupy the land between “the district” and Napa Valley. You want to know why so many of us will say we don’t care about climate change when we get a call from one of you? Because whether or not you know, you are doing the bidding of those whi believe we may only be saved by surrendering everything we know to be sacred. When we say “climate change it a hoax,” we’re talking about the truly tyrannical economic and political power being seized without any fanfare, because it’s funneled through a vast network of mid-wit marxists with masters degrees, paper-pushing propaganda through farcical front groups like the “Breakthrough Institute.”

I guess the distributors can get rich in these lovely welfare centered systems.

big NO

My issue is a vacuum left where there used to be cute young girls which were actually my real concern with climate change. There is no need to try to save a world without them. They were the reason to save the world in the first place.

Why should they is is total BS? Even if it was not, there is absolutely nothing they can do about it, so why bother? This rich mans scam has gone on far too long already and has to end ASAP.
