[@PG-3462]

@@MarcPagan What you said is taken out of context. Plants, the soil and the ocean absorb approximately the same amount of CO2 that they emit on a yearly basis. This is why when vegan extremists claim that cows are the biggest cause of climate change, they are factually wrong because surface CO2 and methane generated from plants and animals themselves is irrelevant to the calculation (which doesn't mean that we do however consume too much meat which causes deforestation and the need of tons of artificial fertilizers and pesticides, but that's another topic). However, humans take carbon and methane that was stored under the ground during millions of years (under the form of fossil fuels) and we burn it. This increases the concentration of CO2 and methane in the atmosphere. Even if it only represents 2% of CO2, this increase in concentration on a global scale is actually massive and it's getting worse every year and has a real impact on our climate.

Thank you for sharing these worthy initiatives. Climate change is a collective issue. Nature is intrinsically connected. Humankind cannot survive as a bunch of 7 or 8 billion individuals. We can only survive interdependently. Now we need some 4 billion people like you to take actions that would enable nature to start recovering. What we need is a persuasive and convincing consumption alternative. The one common incentive that I could think of is money. Virtually every person on this planet would be willing to adopt change if they get money for it. And all over the world money is governed by administrations. If we could persuade a sufficient number of administrations to agree on ways to compensate people for their change of consumption of products energized by fossil fuel, to products created by alternative energy sources, with money, we could reverse the climate digression. I am hopeful. Alex Goslar

It is so bad that all the people in power that are warning you about it have beach houses and fly around in private jets. For 50 years I have heard this or that was going to kill us in twenty years, still here. Yet nobody talks about the pole shift or the core slowing/stopping.Millions of people in poor countries would die if there was a sudden stop of fossil fuels.

[@ZennExile]

Sometimes the thought doesn't count and in the case of every single technology discussed in this video, it's too little, too late. Nature does need to recover but there's far more too that process than meets the eye, and the bulk of the "nature" that needs to recover was in the soil we dug up to grow our food, serve as the foundations for our buildings, and build our infrastructure. The Rhizosphere is the foundation of all terrestrial life, and of the Carbon Cycle. Within it lies the bulk of all terrestrial biomass, the majority of all natural carbon storage potential available now, as apposed to hundreds of years from now when any of these technologies might theoretically (if built by machines and AI) begin to have an impact on global CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Life is Carbon. The Rhizosphere is the single largest vessel of Life open to human manipulation, and only requires that we process and distribute a quarter of our organic waste per year to millions of acres of diminished land. Within 50 years this process, which would cost essentially nothing if deployed properly as a career for the unskilled laborer, can and absolutely will have a statistically significant impact on global CO2 levels. And that's just if adopted in North America. If around 5 million people per continent were actively employed in the process of spreading organic waste over diminished land, not only would the GDP of every participant nation go up, but it would solve the river of problems being literally leeched down stream by the catastrophic failure of Industrial Agriculture. This Carbon Crisis is an opportunity to put all global societies back on a path of ecological, social, and economic equilibrium. We simply have to put a few million dirt farmers to work doing what Industrial processes can never properly synthesize. Dirt Farming.

Smart ideas can of course save the planet. However, the main thrusts would have to be nature based. Natural measures have 4 times the impact of human made moves. So, centering on greenery, plantings, afforestation, water retention, desalination, and healthful soil practices are paramount. Collaboration on an unprecedented scale would also have to be seen. The technical factors and implementations are as pragmatic as they are lucrative. Technical portfolios are merely upgrades, all tolled.

[@theobserver9131]

Saying that solutions have to be "nature based" to be the most effective is not necessarily true. They need to be SCIENCE based, whether that means natural or artificial, most likely both.
