New thinking on the climate crisis | Al Gore

In Al Gore's brand-new slideshow (premiering exclusively on TED.com), he presents evidence that the pace of climate change may be even worse than scientists were recently predicting, and challenges us to act with a sense of "generational mission" -- the kind of feeling that brought forth the civil rights movement -- to set it right. Gore's stirring presentation is followed by a brief Q&A in which he is asked for his verdict on the current political candidates' climate policies and on what role he himself might play in future.

The part of this week's reading that most stuck out to me was that Kalmus would've still made this change even if it wasn't beneficial at all to the environment because it made his life better. Even on a selfish level, he and his family are happier and feel closer to the planet and to each other after limiting their emissions. This isn't just to save the planet but it's a necessary lifestyle that we as a human body should emulate. This idea of systemic change that would benefit the planet and the people is a best case scenario win-win scenario and if we can recognize this problem, that action, with the hands, the heart will find meaning in this more satisfied life. Another very interesting and prominent point in this reading was the proposal of the carbon tax which we have discussed in this class before. To adopt something like this wide scale within the United States would be a huge step towards limiting emissions on a legislative level. This is only possible as a product of voting in those who are passionate about climate change and changing the political climate in America. America's heavy involvement in the amount of emissions ensures America's responsibility in fixing those problems and preventing them. World-wide travel accessibility multiplied the spread of pandemics and we've seen the effects of easily going from place to place for a couple hundred dollars but the effects on our environment are worth so much more. By raising that price for every carbon mile the price of the ticket will force many people to look for alternative options. That money should go to support the ongoing struggle of fixing our current climate.

The difference with the central distributed fossil fuel to energy conversion like coal power plants is the emissions can be cleaned far more efficiently because you can use the large, immobile carbon capture systems. This wouldn't work on combustion engines. There is also a significant increase in energy efficiency through elec vehicles. The increased draw on the grid is an opportunity to update to more efficient power plants in general, thus increasing efficiency even further.

Certainly an atmosphere is important in keeping the Earth warm, but considering that our atmosphere is less than 300 parts per million CO2 I don't see how this heat is obviously attributed to CO2. Scientists do agree that CO2 traps heat, but, as I understand it, its an anti-logarithmic scale, such that the increase from 100 ppm to 300 ppm should only increase the temperature 1 degree. Not one degree per year, but one degree total. So my plea is still there, please show me some data.

My last point concerns the gross inefficiency of feeding grain to animals, then harvesting their meat or products (milk, eggs). This is why more than 70 percent of the grain and cereals grown in the U.S. are fed to farmed animals. It takes up to 16 pounds of grain to produce just one pound of meat, and even fish on fish farms must be fed 5 pounds of wild-caught fish to produce one pound of farmed fish flesh. The cattle alone consume a quantity equal to the caloric needs of 8.7 billion people!

[@RichardTavilla]

Ummm no worries he was lying

[@redcane0]

The Earth would be too cold for humans to survive on it without the greenhouse effect. This is why the dark side of Mercury gets down to --210° C, it has no greenhouse effect to keep the heat in. As far as Venus being closer to the sun: A reasonable person can compare the relative distance and diameter of a planet from the sun, to see how much of it's temperature is due to direct heating by the sun.

[@SovereignStatesman]

Fede Widder It's VERY fucking simple. The colder it gets, the closer to the equator that oceans freeze; and this has been increasing for the past 40 years. The AMOUNT of sea-ice is irrelevant, since most of the South Pole is on LAND, while there is a thin-spot in the Earth's crust up north which is melting it near Greenland. IT's LATITUDE of ice that matters, and that's been getting closer to the equator ever since 1987. And when ice freezes, it RELEASES HEAT, which is the reason for the slightly warmer global temps... so it's going to be VERY cold when it stops, about 5 degrees C colder-- i.e. an ICE AGE.
