Lessons from the Past on Adapting to Climate Change | Laprisha Berry Daniels | TED

Laprisha Berry Daniels' grandparents left the Southern United States and migrated north to Detroit in the 1950s - a move that could be considered a big "climate change." Now, as a public health social worker, Berry Daniels mines the survival strategies of her grandparents to think about how we can all learn from the past to better prepare for current and future environmental climate change.

"I never have been in despair about the world. Enraged. I've been enraged by the world, but never despair. I cannot afford despair. You can't tell the children that there is no hope." *- James Baldwin*

Absolutely Right Mam❤️❤️❤️. We have to prepare climate change. Please save the Earth🙏🙏🙏

[@vthilton]

Save Our Planet

[@MaybeYoureRight-1234]

Yes😅

Don’t you think full disclosure, and our fall ETA disclosure would lead to conversations with extraterrestrials that are remarkably human that have their own planet that they take care of back somewhere else in the universe and that perhaps if they figured out how to reverse space-time moving beyond the speed of light to get here and actually be alive. Upon arrival probably means they have teleportation technology and there’s a triangle craft on the space force flag so it’s probably time that we talk about how extraterrestrials could benefit us on earth taking care of our planet better why is this not the question? How is this not obvious thought to everyone

[@GSPeacepipe]

climate change” is all about power and control-dictating what people can do and micromanaging every aspect of their lives,

Guys she want to said that we should change the climate of bigotry ,racism and discrimination Why it it important then reply me 😊 And pls she is encouraging us

*😅Why the Paris agreement is so vital?* After decades of torturous negotiations and bitter disappointment at the UN COP climate talks, the hard-won 2015 Paris agreement was a major diplomatic breakthrough. Achieved with rare consensus, it has huge legitimacy. That’s what makes it powerful. It sets the standard for all nations to follow …😅

[@MaybeYoureRight-1234]

*😅So what did it do?* It introduced a new global norm: achieving net-zero. Countries agreed to keep the world’s heating “well below 2℃ […] and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5℃”. To get there, the globe must achieve net zero emissions by around mid-century. All countries need to set national targets to cut emissions and strengthen them every five years. Since 2015, well over 100 countries have pledged to achieve net zero. These countries represent more than 90% of the global economy …😅

[@MaybeYoureRight-1234]

😅The pledges made in Paris and afterwards are beginning to drive faster change. In the five years to 2020, global clean energy investment grew by 2%. Since 2020, the pace of growth has accelerated significantly to 12% a year. The International Energy Agency (IEA) now expects global fossil fuel use to peak this decade, before the world economy switches irreversibly to clean energy. At present, the transition is not happening fast enough. But it is happening. And there’s no turning back …😅 Here are six encouraging trends to watch in 2023 …😅

[@MaybeYoureRight-1234]

1- G7 economies will form a ‘climate club’ In December, the G7 grouping of the world’s richest democracies agreed to form a “climate club”. Conceived by Nobel Prize-winning economist William Nordhaus, the club is an arrangement where countries develop common standards for climate ambition and share benefits among club members. The club will focus first on decarbonisation of industries such as steelmaking …😅

[@MaybeYoureRight-1234]

2- New carbon tariffs will be introduced in the EU To avoid the problem of European companies becoming less competitive with companies from nations without a carbon price, EU nations agreed in December to bring in carbon tariffs. That means imports from countries without an adequate carbon price will be taxed. It also means European companies can’t offshore production to avoid the carbon price. This is just the tip of the spear, with other rich nations like Canada looking to follow suit. Over time, these tariffs will have a ripple effect, forcing countries reliant on exporting to these markets to move faster toward decarbonisation …😅

[@MaybeYoureRight-1234]

3- The Ukraine war boosted renewables, as nations focus on energy security When Russia invaded Ukraine, Western nations slapped sanctions on Moscow and cut imports of Russian gas. Fossil fuel prices spiked. Bad news, right? Not so fast. The IEA says the war has actually supercharged clean energy investment by making clean energy a matter of security. In response to Putin’s invasion, major European economies increased renewable energy targets as they moved to end reliance on Russian gas. With renewables ramping up, the EU now intends to set a stronger 2030 emissions target before the COP28 climate summit later this year …😅

We need to stop worrying about racism and controlling the weather and focus on the micro plastics in the food supply.

[@dj.h7424]

It is possible to be concerned about more than one issue at once!

[@rich6485]

@dj.h7424 muh racism is taking us backwards.

[@jordanvaughn4113]

@@rich6485talking about racism brings awareness to people who don’t realize how much it impacts us.

[@chloedavidson3649]

There will be no food supply if the climate continues to destabilize, but I understand your passion about plastics. Too much!

[@maxhi88]

The climate is cyclical.

[@samuelzev4076]

True but it’s cyclically normal if it occurs between 10,000 to 100,000 years and not less than a century or decade. I think you slept through science class 🤨

Today's the hottest sea surface temperatures ever recorded. Business as usual ecomodernism, like the kind promoted by Laprisha are enabling the end of the human race.

[@tacsquirrel]

"Ever recorded". We don't have enough data to make a determination.

Business that promote saving the Earth and stoping big business like marathon and other industry are killing the Earth???? 🤔 hmmm

[@sixvee5147]

“I accepted to come to this meeting to have a sober and mature conversation. I’m not in any way signing up to any discussion that is alarmist. There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5C.” - Sultan Al Jaber, President of COP 28, also CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company Mukhtar Babayev will be the president for COP 29; he is also a former executive of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijian Republic. Seems more and more likely, scenario SSP5-8.5 of the IPCC assessment may come to fruition (or at least the higher end of the spectrum). I say enjoy what you can, while you still can; pity the generations to come.
