If we want to effectively tackle these problems, what we need is to focus only on measures that have a real impact 1) distance tax: a tax that increases the longer the goods are shipped or transported- this incentivizes a local economy and stops the mess of goods running around the world for no reason. 2) female education- the more educated the less children they will have, as overpopulation is a huge problem 3) tackle income inequality- tax the super wealthy and the multinationals, make them pay the right share, no more tax avoidance or producing in countries with lower regulations. Big companies need the most resources and make up the biggest polluters, so local and smaller is better. 4) universal basic income so people dont have "to make a living" at any cost and follow their passions- no damaging, stupid or unnecessary work 5) make hemp biodiesel (and other biodiesels) make up 30% of all fuel compulsory in the economy and make investments. Tackle food waste and make it maximal 5% of all produced. Go towards 0% fossil fuels with improved technology. Swap most plastics for hemp-derived materials 6) sustainability index- make an index of the worst environmental offender-practices. Ban those that are not needed and bring within limits those that can be made sustainable. Use taxes to incentivize/disincentivize 7) go towards a bio-adapted infrastructure such as passages for the wild under highways and so forth. Go back to natural farming, drop all intensive farming, is healthier anyway. Decrease production of animal products. Abandon chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides, all not sustainable. 8) we need a working UN back in some form, to protect areas such as the amazonas and other strategically important parts of the world for the ecology. Besides that we need first nation countries to invest in countries that are lagging behind, as the investment would yield much greater results. This is a global challenge. 9) drop all the measures that wont make any difference and accept that we cant control it 100% at this point. Maybe there are some benefits in a warmer climate too.

The diminishing window of opportunity. Now that the window of opportunity is barely visible, what are we going to do to extend the remaining lifetime? Maybe we should consider a proposition that would encourage everyone on the planet to participate in reversing the climate digression. Geo currency. Money that is based on the values of natural resources. Provided that leading Nations can agree on a collaboration it is possible to implement such a currency. The Geo-economic transformation is one such idea. Thanks for sharing, Alex Goslar.

[@richardb8080]

This is a great talk with some practical suggestions for what can be done, but I wonder if humanity is capable of enacting any of these ideas. We are evolved to deal with immediate threats to our safety, which is why so little action has been taken on climate change, despite it being the biggest existential threat to humanity's survival. Most people will only worry about climate change when their house is burning down or under water, then it will be too late. Despite our technological advances, we are still essentially the same as we were thousands of years ago living in caves and are probably unable to deal with this issue and so will face extinction. To be honest that isn't so depressing when you think what a destructive species we are. The rest of the planet would tell us how much they hate us if they could and would breath a collective sigh of relief if humanity were extinct and hopefully a better species would evolve and take better care of the planet. We are a species that has deliberately destroyed its own habitat , so why do we deserve to continue to exist?

[@brendapettus9208]

Skimming the comments, it looks like people who are trying to work within the current system(s) are running into obstacles and apathy. If politicians, board rooms, and school districts refuse to act, we need to do what we can ourselves. If you have a yard, grow a garden. Build up the soil, sequestering carbon. If you don't have a yard, but live in an apartment building, talk with the other residents and come up with a plan for greening the roof with gardens that absorb some of that free sunlight and freshen the air. Buy organic and eat "clean" foods, supporting farmers who restrain their use of carbon fuels and synthesized fertilizers. Reduce your reliance on electronic gadgets; those batteries are charged by burning some type of fuel somewhere. You already know to limit travel by automobile. Demonstrate to the people who know you the things we can do at a personal level. Enlist them, then engage with the larger community. Prove what can be done and show how much or how little needs to be sacrificed. Don't pass the buck by calling the politicians, companies, and schools, expecting them to change if you haven't already shown them how it's done.

[@zoeskinner2871]

I completely agree about the power of demonstrating the sacrifices that you personally make. And I try and do that myself. But given the little time we have and the fact that 1/3 of global emissions are down to just 20 Companies in the world, that is not enough. We DO need to put pressure on the higher up people.

If I take a trip with them, they will offset the trip and my life footprint for a year. You can also buy individual offsets from southpole.com which are third party audited. Also, a small electric plane started flying in Dec 2019 and carbon removal machines may someday exist to offset our home emissions per the webinar. Also, the UK is researching the JetZero commercial plane (probably hydrogen fuel) by 2050 and France is researching a hybrid Airbus.

And we think the change from a virus is extreme?

[@component29]

Hi there, I’m new here but I have a very important question. I’m hoping if I ask it here someone who knows can hopefully answer. I’d like to know what would happen if us humans built millions of giant mirrors and put them in fixed places around the world, if it would reflect heat, crucially enough heat to cool the planet. My idea is based on the reflective abilities of ice, to replicate that ability

[@elliotharris3965]

To answer your question accurately you would need to model the scenario. Generally speaking though, yes it would reduce land warming if the surface were more reflective as the ice caps currently do at a ever diminishing rate. However, this ignores a few issues with sourcing such a large quantity of mirrors. I think in terms of cost effectiveness, geoengineering the atmosphere with sulfur would be more achievable. In his book, David talks about the catch 22 of air pollution and and particulates. it's estimated we would far surpass the current 1.5 degree goal ( In a bad way), if we were to clean the atmosphere, which would reduce pollution related deaths and equally increase climate related deaths. The issue requires many changes and will never be fixed with one idea. I like the idea, however i think it may be impractical. Im an engineering student with a keen interest in climatology however i am not trained professionally so this is from another interested layman, in case anyone else would like to expand on this.

[@kylebeauchamp8591]

I want anyone reading this to remember that we still have the opportunity to prevent the worst of climate catastrophe if we, as a society, act in time. In the USA, where our per-capita emissions are among the highest in the world, even if it's hard and impractical to live a zero-emissions lifestyle, you can get involved in several different organizations, with political flavors to choose from. There's: Citizens' Climate Lobby (personal favorite) 350 Extinction Rebellion Sunrise Movement RepublicEN American Conservation Coalition Climate Leadership Council and literally dozens more, which you can find by Googling "American climate organizations" Also, check out the Podcasts "How to Save a Planet", "No Place Like Home", "A Matter of Degrees", "Outside/In" and more available on Spotify, if this is really your beat! We can do this! We must.

[@elliotharris3965]

And in Australia, some of these same organizations are active. Despite our backwards climate policy and purely theoretical / non-existent science, we on a state level continue to make changes. Our great barrier reef is almost committed to complete destruction and will most likely go, i hope people around the world will come visit to see the bleaching with their own eyes. Perhaps it will take the death of the worlds largest living system for people to see it's true impacts - billions of dollars of tourism lost, an entire industry gone. I can only hope it's a big enough wake up call for those at home here in qld, it's real, it's pernicious but it is accelerating, and quickly.

the step that should be taken to control rising seas and to cool the planet. the proposal is to have desalination plants spread offshore along the coasts. how far apart will depend on the measure of arctic ice melt and the capacity of the plants. the objective is to take water from the seas as fast as the artics melt. the plants are to be placed on floating platforms. the distance from the shoreline to be determined by environmental concerns over waste ejecting back into the sea. plants to be powered by solar and wind with excess power directed to the mainland. their construction will provide worldwide employment putting a giant dent in impoverishment. a third of our earth is desert. freshwater production will make them bloom. real food will be so abundant that starvation will be a thing of the past. farms will preserve the forest and mitigate carbon emissions. good example: freshwater farming will cool the sahara and northeast africa, bringing cooler air over the atlantic ocean mitigating hurricane seasons, and saving trillions in damage desalination extracts minerals that can be used for our benefit. the benefits seem endless. the main one being that all nations come together to fight our common enemy “pollution”

A subtle version of blaming the victim. We are relatively powerless when confronted by the never mentioned , mind boggling necessity of transforming our whole way of producing materials, etc. Oil is such a rich substance that it is the source of a great deal of the materials we rely on in the current system: plastic, solvents, drugs, etc. Imagine an economy without these being available. The Powers that be are the driving force of any changes along these lines and at this point are not incentivizing those who are trying to transform production from oil to the vital energies of the planet. See the interesting Ted Talk that touches on this regarding cement and biofabrication. Forget the corrupt and dysfunctional political system; direct action to stop the flow of $$ is the only way to get the attention of the greedy control freaks. Nuff said.

We have 10 years left at most before the Arctic goes ice free, that is a world ending event. We can do as much geoengineering but it's only going to slow it down and possibly lead to some consequences with serious implications. I'm not going to go into renewable energy because, I'm sick of doing it but, solar is useless without a huge energy storage capable of holding the power generated, windmills breakdown and both are resource and fossil fuel intensive to produce and maintain. We have no power over the climate, don't be ridiculous. It has taken a hundred years of the world's industrialized civilizations to put as much CO2 in the atmosphere.

You're free to believe what you want - you're free to cling to forecasts from imbeciles that have the mind of a child - you're free to pat yourself on the back for being the smart one when you have not even one substantial achievement in life that would corroborate that delusion ... you're free to hitch your wagon to a pack of idiots spiraling into oblivion because they're too stupid to realize the true cause of the Earth Changes, their too stupid to realize they've been conned, they're too stupid to realize their "science" is a fraud, they're too stupid to figure out the true timeline for our Earth's history and they're too stupid to figure out the timeline going forward - but that's the group that you trust with your survival - I get it, Eric - but you'll pay a heavy price for being brain dead.

@@WhirledPublishing Boy you sure write a lot of words in your dedicated effort to make sure that the Earth becomes uninhabitable with a century. You are well-qualified, it seems, to spread despicable lies. By the way, the reality is much worse than all the climate science models predicted. And if you guys manage to tip the tipping points this decade, and keep your lies alive even then, global warming could rise by 8 to 10 celsius by 2100! And by the way, why don't you just stfu

Muh, All these issues are real, no objection, however we need to tackle ALL of them, including climate change. I don't get why some people seem to believe it is one or the other. It's all of them. It's makes a lot of work? Correct, so then consequence is that you should vote for the guy that truly intends to work on all of them, not a moron talking about silly topics (you know who I refer to, no?).
