[@FAC1806]

' GOING EXTINCT IS THE NORM ' ..... very powerful statement! very scary as well! but.... soooo true

[@Metacognition88]

Keep in mind every species had no awareness and no ability to alter their extinction. As far as we know homosapien is the only species that can be aware they could become extinct and actually exercise some control to possibly avoid that. Being hopeful anyway.

[@FAC1806]

Metacognition88 On an evolutionary scale.... what makes you think that our species will never evolve or branch out to another species?

[@Metacognition88]

Frank Conte well their needs to be some evolutionary pressure that would make us. Right now their doesn’t seem to be any need for us to evolve into another species. If anything humans would probably become more machine augmented with cyborg like traits since our rate of technological progress is far faster than the rate of biological evolution.

[@tims.440]

Fantastic!

Hey Lawrence, try using the Robinson Projection for a much more accurate picture of the Earth on a flat surface. This one preserves the relatives sizes of continents very accurately by having the meridians curve in towards the poles and results in an oval-shaped map that's quite pleasing to the eye besides.

[@juvenalsdad4175]

Interesting video as always, but I would suggest providing links for the source material that you are using so people can be fully informed. This is especially important for subjects like climate change where the 'skeptics' will just dismiss this as alarmist propaganda. Perhaps a follow-up about solutions would also be a good idea. Molten salt reactors? GMO? Hydrogen based energy production?

Thanks for talking about CO2 climate tipping points. A geology professor said in class once that there is Antarctic ocean sediment that show ice-age transitions have happen in as little as a decade. There are other tipping points that do not get talked about much but will happen. They are: the tipping point Earth's human carrying capacity and consequences of the down slope of peak oil tipping point.

If almost every Dr. tells you that you have a 5% chance to get cancer, surely you'd want to check up on it regularly and even lower the chances with treatment if that was a possibility. This is why I don't understand climate change deniers. It's irrelevant if certain effects isn't a sure thing. The chances are there. And the domino effect really is quite convincing honestly.

[@wasdwasdedsf]

"And the domino effect really is quite convincing honestly. " how is it? how is anything the propaganda machine says convincing?

[@babylongate]

But HOW do we do these , the SOLUTIONS?! You are almost the best scientist we got to solve these stuff, like in the movie The Core 2003.

[@zorro5651]

LK is a theoretical physicist. When did he become this climate expert? I'm a computer guy. I worked on models for 20 years. And I saw the climate gate programs. I actually read the code that would change the data because it didn't yield the right numbers. And nearly all the projected tipping points come right out of those models. When I worked at NASA, they told me I should add the words "climate change" in any proposals if I wanted a better chance at funding. And follow the money is no different in government funded science as it is in global empire politics. But I'm afraid that LK is now climbing on the GW bandwagon because he lost his lofty position when he was accused of misconduct and had to leave his job. He was living the life of a movie star, until he pissed off some people with his religion crusade. So, now he want's that life back, touring the world, making his little jokes with his uh uh uh's, hanging around with Richard Dawkins, getting on panels. What a shock it must have been. And probably it was all unfair. But the world is not fair. I felt bad for LK. So what does he do? Can you imagine him getting back his life if he were actually a climate change skeptic? I don't think so. He'd be even worse off. He'd have AOC and Greta after his arse. They'd accuse him all over again and he won't get his life back. Just to make a point that anything you want to believe in you can find the data for it with a google search, here's a video that may be right (I don't know, I'm not a climate scientist either) that's at least as convincing as anything in LK's talk. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmWYZn57ec6nprc

What is the frequency of occurrence of this tipping point, prior to the industrial revolution?

[@OXOjunkie]

Lawrence, are you sure you know how the Green House effect actually works. Let me explain, photons travel from the sun, then in scattering collisions with atmospheric particles, the thermal effect that keeps us warm occurs, the blueness of the sky is literally the Green House effect and can be seen with the naked eye.......Spectral absorption is not scattering, it is in general a thermodynamiclly neutral process....Using the absorption spectra of methane, to determine it's thermodynamic effectiveness, is I believe inappropriate. Unless the process of spectral absorption and emission leads to a greater probability of scattering collisions , and this can be quantified with techniques and technology unavailable to the late great Svante Arrhenius, I'm afraid the conjecture is erroneous as Svante's.

[@ominous-omnipresent-they]

Simply because Hubble is showing her age. The advancements and capabilities of the JWST will also Hubble obsolete. Although, I'm sure NASA will take full-advantage of Hubble until ceases to function. They typically do this for all their unmanned landers and satellites.

I agree with these points, but, if these points stand against the development of countries, I have a problem with them. I don't care if all the amazonian forest is cut, if that means the development of developing countries. It's nice to speak, from the point of view of very developed countries, that we "need" to protect the environment. Where was the environment protection when the developed countries did the same thing?!

[@rikkifurey5670]

hi love your new book. i don't know what you mean bad luck we were there at the same time so why did we not have this bad luck whatever that means. what i am finding is that the Neanderthals probably died out from the pathegens (diseases) that we brought with us just like the spanish and europeans whiping out 9 out of 10 native americans and mexicans from viruses and pathegens. you see we had built up resistence to them but we were still carriers.

[@AngelEarth2011]

Neanderthals didn't go extinct, at least at a genetic level, which at a biological level is all that counts, but rather through interbreeding with Homo Sapiens, who outnumbered them, disappeared. The resulting hybrid generations did not have 100% Neanderthal characteristics and likewise did not have 100% Homo Sapiens characteristics. All people are a hybrid of Homo Sapiens and Archaic Homo Sapiens / Neanderthal / Denisovan / and / or a yet to be named species of human.

[@a.b1266]

The first half of the podcast illustrates with unsettling detail, "global tipping points" that it would seem we are quickly and inevitably approaching, which is followed up with a somewhat impotent and obscure plea for "us" to do a better job of looking after the planet. When one reflects on a species that squabbles over such idiotic notions such as pronouns, and existence of imaginary friends in the sky, the situation indeed seems dire.

Too bad you threw away all your political capital by supporting mass migration. You have completely undermined any possibility of solving this politically any time soon. I am the lone right winger that believes in climate change. I know all to well that you aren't changing their minds any time soon thanks to your overall leftist agenda. I was wondering, the Marxists were quite successful in "green" policies with bad economies, death camps, and nuclear accidents. Other than nuclear accidents, was that what you and Noam were hoping for with mass migration? Bad economy for the middle class and death camps for Republicans.
