@@genericanimename6733Yes. I know. But we kinda have to push back. And if we're only asking people to choose to have fewer kids, everyone, everywhere... then they're crazed accusations of inhumane population control and eugenics, which are sadly common, they don't stand up. We're only asking for people to help. Just ask them: Does solving climate change get easier or harder if we continue raising our population, keeping it the same, or decreasing it. We can ask this basic question for every issue. The other big push back is from parents... They naturally think we're 'blaming' them... So we have to correct this by explaining that our overpopulation is in fact due to our amazing ability to keep kids, and mothers alive, more than families 'choosing to have too many kids'... The universal reduction in TFRs in the developed world is undeniable, but it lagged behind the progress we made to keep kids/mothers alive and fed. Plus, we all need reminding of who benefits the most from reducing our overpopulation... The kids.

Wasn't it Al Bartlett that posed the challenge (paraphrasing): "name one problem that is better solved by having more people." I was a young kid in the 1970s and realized just by watching my rural community have housing tracts spring up all over the place that human population was a huge problem. And that was long before I learned of the Population Bomb book or Jay Forrester's World1 Club of Rome earth model. It was so obvious - even to a 12 year old. I vowed to never have children. One fewer child per family has about 120 times more impact than replacing a gasoline car with an EV.

@@bill8985 I looked it up: "Can you think of any problem on any scale, from microscopic to global, whose long-term solution is in any demonstrable way aided, assisted or advanced by having larger populations at the local level, the state level, the national level, or globally?" - Professor Albert Bartlett. That is a very robust statement. Absolutely there will be a few problems with changing demographics, from a reducing population... But those will pale into insignificance compared to all the prolems they will lessen, eliminate. Worrying about your share holding value whilst your house is burnt down or inundated in a storm surge is a bit short-sighted, blinkered... We have to realise a couple of things. 1) Population multiplies and divides everything... It multiplies emissions, footprints, land use, sewage, resource use, water use... And it divides the available land, resources, water, food, etc. etc. etc. etc. 2) Humanity, Civilisation, by definition, is all a waste of time, energy, resources, everything. Anyting beyond keeping us alive until on average 2 of our offspring are old enough to have enough offspring such that on average 2 of their's survive, is a waste... This is what separates us from almost every other animal, or species of any life... We've got good at gaming the system such that we have an excess of time, energy, resources, such that we can waste it on stuff... stuff like art, tv, music, football, computers, fashion, theatre, furniture, jewlery, pets, festivals, museums, holidays, books, games, flying, guitars, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc...

CO2 emissions are increasing each year, especially since the COP conferences began almost 30 years ago. It's estimated that there is at least 3-4° C warming built in to the system, if we turned everything off today. Honestly, we would have had to made significant change and mitigation over 50 years ago to even have a chance.

Again, Doctor, I agree with your recognition of the patterns, and even that government stimiulus for more "green" does not help. But there is a legitmate objective of smoothing out the decline, as in doing so, and using it to help everyone as much as possible understand the reality what is going on, that reduces our risk of net damage during the decline. If at some point everyone in Puget Sound gets so desperate that they take out the remaining fallow forests in Olympic and Rainier National Parks, perhaps the entire Cascades, then in the longer run we will be worse off. If we keep people delusional, we may do the same thing. But if people can see the long term needs, and understand them, we have a greater likelihood of preserving such resources, and perhaps even bringing some back. At one time most of the food in the PNW was fisheries. That is presently 95-99% gone. With understanding and preservation we might bring that back, and given the average travel of our food right now is over 1000 miles, that may be the ONLY thing that preserves any population at all in the Puget Sound Columbia River Region.

Eliot seemed a little cold-blooded, to me, in that he seemed to, in a subjective manner, to wish for this to occur, and seems to refer to his concern for his own kind to be limited to a handful of people. His defense is consistently that he is an environmentalist, which seems a bit inadequate, when he explains it to mean we should just sort of welcome this process of collapse, because the sooner, the better for the planet. He is probably technically correct in that assessment. But to actually wish for it would make my blood run cold.

I would argue that us not going 100% nuclear in the 70s was our downfall. And everything would have been better. This i reason is due to the almost universal observation that we chose to have fewer kids in the rich, developed countries, where the conditions were good. Having the immense amount of energy, deployable anyway, and with enormous energy security, would have led to a lot more of the earth's countries reaching that threshold where the Total Fertility Rate would plummet below 2.1... All while not emitting any CO2... So the climate change threat, that we face today, would still be decades away. Realising that 1/2, one half, of all of humankind's emissions have happened since the 90s! So now we really do have only one option for energy. Nuclear power, nuclear generated electricity, nuclear generated industrial heat. Wind and solar simple cannot do what is needed. It's not feasible. They generate tiny amounts of electricity, and only intermittently. And ironically, not when we have many of the peak demand periods. Plus. Electricity is only 1/4 of our energy usage. Then don't help at all with industry, heating or transportation & plant fuels. This is bolstered by the fact that splitting the atom is 1,000,000 x more energy dense than burning fossil fuels... The thing it has to replace. And No, we're not going nuclear to just keep the flow of BigMacs uninterrupted... Almost all of our humanity is driven, enabled by energy. Without it, we loose our humanity. All the fun, nice stuff. So we have to address our population size, by choosing to have fewer kids. To reduce our population. AND build nuclear power plants everywhere... That'll mean we reach a point of true 'sustainability' sooner. The goals always getting closer... Not moving further and further away. And do many other things, of course...

@@roberthornack1692 This isn't how it works. The fear of nuclear we've had, has been unfounded. We know A LOT about radiation, radiation exposure, accidents, the effects, etc. and they're simply not anywhere as bad as we've thought, been told. Chernobyl was just an abomination of a design, and they had to disable most of the safety systems to do the test they were planning, and the delay put it in the position where it could only fail... combined with the soviet secrecy, denial culture. That's changed. And all our reactors simply cannot fail in that way. Fukushima suffered 3x meltdowns. After surviving the mag 9.0 earthquake... And only because of a fundamental human blunder of putting the backup generators in the basements. The 3 only suffered hydrogen explosions because they were needlessly scared to vent the containment. Still no one has died from any radiation related causes at Fukushima.... But we killed 1,500 in the mad, panicked evacuation which wasn't needed. Almost all of the area evacuated needed to only shelter in place. Details matter. We love scary stories, but the actual details matter, and should be used for decision making. When we look at the available technologies for energy generation, nuclear is not only the safest (because it generates SO MUCH energy), but it's also the cleanest (because it generates SO MUCH energy, and the plants last 60-80-100+ years)... Plus, it is the only energy source capable of replacing/displacing fossil fuels, and the otherwise amazing service they provide us (whilst then killing us with the emissions, pollution, accidents). We ONLY have nuclear. Do remember, that for nuclear to kill as many people as coal does, we'd need at least one 'Chernobyl' per day... And that's with coal running normally, without its horrific list of accidents. Do you live down-stream from a Dam? They're by far the biggest killers in the energy accident stats. They're all getting old, and as Elliot explained to us, the atmosphere is now holding a lot more moisture, and the rains will get a lot heavier. Dam accidents will be regularly on the news going forward, sadly.

Reflected light is a red shift. ergo momentum is lost to both reflection and gravity&spin. aerosols think of thermal expansion laws. exciting aerosols causing force (motion) putting pressure on the surrounding atmosphere. ie heat source now distribute that thermalytic pressure isometrically vuala! into the oceans with it following thermal-mass-density physics In open space, How do aerosols behave in relation to & with solar radiation and Sol’s Gravity? 6th Grader: Picture the Earth Add a hand crank above the atmosphere at both polls. For every calorie of energy added to the surface (-11mi from bottom of Marianis Trench to top of Mt. Everest) there is the affect of pressure increase. For every volume of bio complexity lost, incoming solar plus geo thermal energy is unbound other than being used in anthropogenic systems. Ergo scalar heat. Add industry. The affect is increasing pressure against the direction of incoming radiation and against EarthGravity(effects of thermal-mass expansion. Inertial state change with respect to angular acceleration with respect to Earths rotation et-all). The big hand cranks should be in equilibrium with both upwelling thermal-mass & incoming thermal-mass. The hand that "twists" the cranks (like squeezing the atmosphere & Earth between thumb and forefinger) is spin and rotation of Earth (sort of a spiral within a spiral; PhysicsGirl on KZbin did vid that shows this motion). Pause Ice under the cranks causes thermal-mass to condense more efficiently. "MEERs" reduces this efficiency. Aerosols increase the efficiency within the max/min of the bound system.
