Great to see this topic brought up. I see so little about it. The ozone problem was huge in NZ where I live, and this is one of our greatest climate victories. It shows we can do it!

[@jerryreichelderfer747]

One of my biggest gripes about when people talk about climate change is the lack of any real and practical solutions. If you want people to use a product that is half as effective and cost twice as mush most people are not going to buy in. To save the planet and life as we know it it needs to far less about profit and more about providing answers that people will actually use. And yes, that means making it cheaper. Susan and Stephen and other like them are making strides to achieve this and have done so in order to close the ozone. This gives me hope. :)

If we could get these two brilliant minds together to tackle fiberglass product production, the amount of polluting waste could be reduced IMMENSELY. Let me tell you, if you want to locate pollution, check the waste output of literally ANY fiberglass product manufacturer. Even the locations which are regularly inspected by the EPA, are allowed to use and dispose of some very nasty chemicals which are completely destructive to all 5 forms of life on our planet along with the atmosphere. And the trimmings those places discard do NOT biodegrade. Waste created decades ago remain in the same condition as the day they were discarded. There is a reason for fiberglass pump bases which get buried underground. They last a LONG LONG TIME and do not have to be replaced or maintained. If they do not decompose in use, they will not decompose in a landfill; where almost ALL fiberglass waste ends up. The ONLY "safe" aspect of fiberglass/styrene based products... the glass itself which will return to its natural "sand" state eventually. But when encased in plastics, that process is outright prevented, or slowed down immensely at minimum.

At a risk of sounding like an old grumpy man, I'd argue that 'the young people' are actually doing more harm by being aware of the problem but not really taking the time to understand it and act accordingly. I like to call that Dunning-Kruger environmentalism where people hear that the meat and dairy industry have a huge impact on the environment... and to offset that, they choose (and promote!) to eat avocados and drink almond milk, blissfully unaware that those are much worse for the planet they're 'trying to save'.

But let's also not step on the heads of the great minds that got us this far and grind their heads into the mud by saying "the young will fix everything the old messed up". It's not like that! Everything the young know from computers to medical MRI's to refrigeration to air conditioning, nuclear power, solar, lithium ion batteries, all of it was invented in the 1930's to 1950's.

[@1972Russianwolf]

Looking around today, big issues that have been brought to light in the recent past (Climate Change, Plastic proliferation). the problem isn't that people don't understand it, or that they don't want change, its that there isn't a simple solution that doesn't disrupt people's lives. Its not as simple as switching to a roll-on or a hand pump hairspray. What is the easy change that reduces greenhouse gasses? What is the simple change that replaces all the plastic? Plastic seems to be the simpler of the two, but Marketers insist on packaging that is colorful and shiny..... aka plasticy. Store insist on packaging that protects and prevents theft. Cardboard should be a simple solution.... going back to glass should be a simple solution.... but it doesn't seem to be gaining much steam though.

[@chrislankford7939]

"Carbon neutral ... means you aren't making [the greenhouse effect] worse." Not _necessarily._ There isn't enough space for everyone to go carbon neutral by just planting trees. Reducing your footprint is still superior to an equal amount of offsetting behavior, even if you successfully account for all externalities.

If only there was a carbon capture technology based on nano technology that self replicates and is already embedded into ecosystems so it can be implemented safely. Such technology would be nice to have, especially if it uses solar energy and has numerous side benefits like provide shade and maybe even building materials too, and edibles, for free..

[@Homer1e2]

Too late for that.

[@sorsocksfake]

Partially works, but there is a fatal catch. Whenever these machines (Technological Revolutionary Enhanced Environment Regenerators) break down in one way or another, their work tends to be undone. Most notably in your given example of edibles: a leaf is grown by extracting carbon from the atmosphere and water from the ground. You then eat that leaf in your salad. Your body burns that leaf, and you exhale the carbon as CO2 and the water as vapor. At that point we're back to square 1. The same happens if the tree/grass/chaff/etc get burned, or rot away. Unless the TREES either vanish or get buried so well that it can't decay or the decay products get trapped, it just returns to the atmosphere. So it helps in one way: any carbon currently trapped inside a plant (or dead plant body) is not in the atmosphere. But everything dies... and arguably "dust to dust" is better expressed as "water vapor and co2 to water vapor and co2". It's not a long-term solution. There is one exception, as said: if the decay products get trapped long-term. This is how fossil fuels formed in the first place. I haven't heard of ideas to do this intentionally on the scale required, but one idea that should work is iron seeding (iron fertilization). We use iron to fertilize the oceans, and many of the plants grown that way should sink deep enough to be out of the system for hundreds of years (i.e. long enough to think of a permanent solution). A good backup plan perhaps, though idk if it can be implemented at scale. And of course, intervening in nature on that scale tends to have unforeseen consequences, so we shouldn't be too eager.

[@swedmiroswedmiro1352]

@@sorsocksfake This is a VERY good answer. I'd like to add that other ways of pulling carbon out of the air takes a lot of energy so doing it on a scale big enough will use an enormous amount of energy and then we are back to the energy problem. Using less CO2 in our consultation patterns and creating CO2 neutral energy is the key.

The political climate, especially in the United States, was totally different back then. Ronald Reagan and Canadian Prime Minister Mulroney were the ones who enabled North America and by extension Europe and then the rest of the world to follow through on protocols to prevent the worsening of the ozone layer. If the Republicans of today were in power back then, I'm fairly confident saying that the issue would have been made political and made to stall. The irony however is that the Republican party today is a direct result of changes that Ronald Reagan made himself when he was president. The United States of today is the vision on Ronald Reagan, decimating education systems, removing trust and faith in public institutions etc etc.

[@craigcorson3036]

Dr. Tyson First, may I suggest that you put up a page for asking random questions. If there already is one, then it needs to be made more visible. I tried to find one but couldn't, and a comments section makes a poor substitute. To my question: Do you agree that the use of any non-solar nuclear power adds to the Earth's heat load, and should be avoided wherever possible? I'm talking about both fission and fusion. I was formerly a big advocate of fission, as the safest way known to generate electricity, but all energy, as you know, eventually degrades into heat, and the Earth has too much of that already. I now advocate for using forms of power which derive solely from the sun, i.e., solar PV, solar thermal, wind, and hydro. Geothermal and tidal also seem to me like good options. Other energy sources - fossil fuels and nuclear - are not viable in the long term on a warming planet. Can I get an amen?

[@scottwarthin1528]

Mending the o3 layer was agreement to stop pulling the threads of a tapestry but co2 emission reduction.... The scale, the magnitude of the carbon emissions in comparison is not cause for optimism. Just because we could stop the o3 does not mean for a second we can do the same to co2 emissions w/in time. Sometimes "hope is a mistake".

@Jay Tee Okay, I'm not talking about when the planet is most liable to die out due to expansion of the sun as it goes along the course of it's life, I am referring to within a reasonable timespan, and we have learned from Easter Island more than you think, not every nation or people has, but some have, here in the US, logging companies are required to plant new trees to grow in regions they have logged, and are even limited in regions to log at and amount. And there about 9,000 people in the modern day who live upon Easter Island and Chile mainland who claim to be of Rapa Nui descent and are recognized as native Rapa Nui. While the island lost it's resources, the people did not fully die out, and unlike with Easter island, it is quite difficult for the entire planet to lose it's resources due to sheer size, combined with increasing efforts in first and second world countries to conserve nature as well. There are even efforts going on in africa to stop desertification and the spread of the Sahara desert further into the sub-saharan regions, these efforts have shown some success and the projects are still on going there. Maybe do some research on conservation and environmental projects before having such a bleak outlook on the outcome of the world.

I would love to see Conservation/Gardening as part of a required classes in elementary, middle, and high school credited class. And bring back Home Ec! Cooking, sewing, basic home/auto repair...the Green Way.❤💯

[@ASIRA89]

the world can save itself. It just needs to get rid of us.

[@tasiacreates95]

I agree!

[@luged]

No matter what we do the earth won't be destroyed. The life on the earth is another story.

[@Geezer-yf8hv]

I’m in no way a “Climate Denier”. I believe we should always do the best we can to reduce pollution, and excess emissions. BUT, I feel mankind’s, (can I even use that word?), are minuscule compared the the Earth itself! The Earth has went from heavily Greenhouse periods to Ice ages before humans even existed!! Things like the Paris Climate Accords are just money grabbing/wealth redistribution scams! We DO need to find new energy sources, and gradually get away from fossil fuels, (but not try to eliminate it completely, until we find better methods)! Solar and wind power alone is not suitable for even reliable back-up power needs!!! P.S. I’m NOT GOING TO GIVE UP MY AIR CONDITIONING OR FOOD REFRIGERATION!!!

[@mwils2531]

I agree with Susan’s view of progressing human kind, I would like to see this expatiated. However what I hear is a centric case around human kind, that is we caused the problem industrialisation and we should then be solely responsible to fix it through creating new systems of industrialisation. What I don’t hear is repairing and promoting natural systems that can work in partnership with human advancement that leads to a sustainable outcome. You know we will one day, may as well start now.

[@lorenzoblum868]

The carbon footprint of the military industrial complex anybody?

[@TCRgalaxy]

This planet is completely hopelessly intractably existentially doomed… 🔥🔥🌎🔥🔥

[@BossMan-yu1og]

$703.7 billion per year worth in the U.S. alone!

[@catmate8358]

It's secret. National security. Now eat your spinach :)

[@whatabouttheearth]

@@BossMan-yu1og That's not necessarily correct. You have to factor in the budget of the Intelligence Community since the majority of those institutions are also military, and you also have to factor in "discretionary spending". So the US military budget is much higher than it seems.

[@BossMan-yu1og]

@@whatabouttheearth You are right. My response was the result of a quick Google search in an attempt to highlight myself as a smartass. The overly complicated nature of economics in the U.S. military is far too much for my tiny peanut brain to comprehend. All I can say is that the numbers are far higher than what is seemingly reasonable considering the myriads of other quality of life projects that money should be used for.

[@martinlehfeldt6916]

Who doesn't like a good talk about the ozone layer?

[@Playtoallwins]

Just today i saw in my country tv news a report that they sad that the hole in the ozone lare is bigger then Antartic . WE ALL NEED TO DO MUCH MORE.

[@sandal_thong8631]

I saw that too. Is this show recent or from a year or five ago?

[@Playtoallwins]

@@sandal_thong8631 i have no ideia

[@kimmanning4989]

I learn so much from this channel, thank you!

[@kumudmecwan57]

I love Neil but my man needs to learn to have patience and not interrupt the other person when talking.

[@akpanekpo6025]

My goodness! I thought no one else noticed.

[@phillipsandusky3795]

SERIOUSLY, invite guests on just to listen to Neil?

[@michaelccopelandsr7120]

Neil and Chuck for 2024!

[@anthonymajor431]

I love how hard Neil rolls his eyes at chuck acting like a patron subscriber 😂

[@hankbender2]

While 410A does have a ODP of 0 it actually has a higher GWP of R22. R22 has a GWP of around 1800 compared to carbon witch is the baseline of 1. many of the R22 replacements are considerably higher than r22. 410A is around 2000GWP and the most common commercial R22 replacement 404a is around 3900 GWP. as i work in the heating and cooling trade i try my best to limit refrigerant leaks but poor quality copper in coils and flare connections on mini split systems have really increased the amount of lost refrigerant. there are better refrigerants while marginally more hazardous but are not used due to cost and outdated safety regulations. we really need to realize that climate change is far more important than any of the issues that we pay attention to. If we spen as much time ,effort and money on climate change as we have on covid 19 we would be far better off

[@diegofernandez4789]

We want more videos like this one. Congratulations.

[@martiepowell7631]

I learn so much from these conversations . Thank you

[@jonedwards8151]

About 30 min in, Neil looks like his eyes can't roll hard enough at Chuck's Mack Truck analogy 🤣

[@Anti-HyperLink]

He was doing it a lot the few minutes before as well.

[@anthonymajor431]

I’ve noticed that Neil actually gets upset when chuck acts like a patron subscriber lol

[@jonedwards8151]

Neil and Chuck.....maybe they need couples therapy

[@MrBoomersfriend]

I would love to see a debate or even just a discussion between Neil deGrasse Tyson and Jordan Peterson regarding climate change.

[@Hippiekinkster]

WHY? WTF does Peterson know about Meteorology, Atmos- pheric Chemistry/Physics, & Computational Science?

[@MrBoomersfriend]

@@Hippiekinkster he certainly has his opinions about the effects of climate change. It would be very interesting. I’m not saying I agree with Jordan Peterson but I would like to see him pull up against Neil deGrasse Tyson about the importance Of climate change. I think the discussion would be interesting as Jordan Peterson doesn’t police as much importance on it and I believe you should But perhaps I’m wrong

[@marielebreton7137]

When the push for eliminating chlorofluorocarbons was happening, I was a kid. The way it was presented made me understand 2 things: this is a real problem and we, as humans can do something to solve it. As an adult, I remember when I heard the ozone latter was healed. What a triumph! What happened to us that now we need to come together again - to solve the problem of climate change? We’re so cynical now.

[@waldgänger_chris]

Hey Sfar Talk crew! Please invite Dr. Guy McPherson! That would be really interesting! Thanks

[@JoeyCbr]

Close to no return, yeh Airforce! I can only speak about my last job, working in the Royal Airforce as an aircraft technician, just the amount of fuel such an organisation uses is mind blowing and CFC gas used in aircraft, for cooling the electronics and radar equipment, in which those systems frustratingly did leak, due to poor design. I now work in solar because the change needs to happen!

[@lip124]

yea when comes to air travel in general someone needs to hurry up and work on safer cleaner ways for traveling in the air.

[@JoeyCbr]

@@lip124 Agreed, engines are getting more efficient, however the switch to electric may be achievable with enough people working on solving the problems, it could be done today, just the range is considerably less favourable with batteries, for companies to use and try to develop. Now the global environmental problem becomes more highlighted, this should force the development and changeover to happen.

[@williamamely7038]

I clearly recall the warnings, about the hole in the ozone. There were even pictures showing the actual hole in the ozone. Thanks to the scientists, people and businesses working together our ozone layer was able to seal itself after all these actions were taken. Bravo to your guests, and our society to fix the problem. One can hope that all of our environmental issues can also bring us together to fix them and save our world, and ourselves.

[@marxlne]

So serious topics and i haven't laughed so hard for a while! :D This episode is a gem!

[@willg3220]

Almost 1.6 million subscribers. Should be mandatory with KZbin. Too many people in merica think climate change is God being angry

[@msmith53]

Yep!

[@Sir.Craze-]

I mean this with the utmost respect. But I think Susan's view of climate change is stuck firmly in the 90's-00's. And it's terifying.

[@scrappymark]

It’s amazing what can get done when there isn’t misinformation and opposition on the Internet.

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Thank you very much!! 🥰👍🏾

[@randallsmith5631]

Thanks Dr Susan Solomon

[@brandonyoung-kemkes1128]

You gotta put your hands together for these people man we would be living in such a different world if it wasn’t for their contributions to our planet and society. Hopefully we can do it again guys.
