How many people would give up air travel to help lower needless emissions into the troposphere and stratosphere? I haven’t flown in twenty years. Be happy where you are. Just drive or take a train. World tourism is diluting regional culture - many exotic places are no longer exotic with a million tourists visiting them every year.

[@MariaMartinez-researcher]

Most people don't travel for tourism, but for work, family or legal issues, obligations. Traveling by plane is good because is faster than everything else, but it's super uncomfortable, subject to an insane amount of hassle and red tape and security checks - and, planes fall. Staying in one place for the pleasure of immobility is not a choice most travelers can make; for the sake of the planet and us who *must* go to places, a non-pollutant (and hopefully, more comfortable) way of traveling must be found.

When people hear scientists say "we don't know" or "we don't know yet" as the picture keeps evolving forcing them to take a fresh look, people who think they should act with conviction just like men of faith, start losing trust in them. Often, politicians use this to their advantage to create distrust in science. This causes a drag in the seriousness needed as a society to commit resources and address problems with the urgency they deserve.

One: the vast majority of energy consumption is no longer consumed by the individual directly, but by the industries on which we now rely. Two, we no longer understand how to live without said industries, which encourages still more energy consumption. The author at the beginning who said he watched Paradise go up in smoke but didn't take the lesson to heart? He commented on how he wishes he'd packed up more of his *stuff,* including notes he's sat on for 50 years.

When the media says experts say human pollution has caused climate change and it’s this climate change that’s lowered water levels in europe. Now with water low they find writings on ricks. The experts say it’s man caused climate change that caused rivers to drop. So experts need to answer what human pollution centuries ago caused climate change tk have rivers run low centuries ago letting them carve on rocks that were just now seeing today thanks to climate change??? It’s so hypocritical to say only today we have climate change when they admit they now see carvings on rocks at low water levels.

I was on a 20 man fire crew also and fought timber and range firesa many times so I know how they burn . What happened in Santa Rosa and Paradice was not a natural burn. there were houses burned to ash with trees 10-20 feet from the home that were barely affected the lawns were green up to the foundations, the car in the driveway burnt to a crisp with a 6" hole in the hood.?!

"I told you so", will no longer be an option when there is no one left to talk to. A century ago, suggesting that CO2 pollution would deteriorate the climatic environment to the point where life as we know it would not survive the next one hundred years, would have been frowned upon as impossible. Until now, the member states of the United Nations, could not implement effective measures to halt the climatic digression because there is no applicable offer that would reward people financially for taking proactive action in this endeavor. People are inclined to listen to a money-making proposition and react defensively toward demands and accusations. If people as well as enterprises would get financial compensation for reducing their carbon emissions, that would raise interest and the motivation to be proactively engaged. To that end, the Rewarding Carbon-reduction Scheme is a workable idea. Once the majority of the UN member states agree that retaining a livable atmosphere is life's most valuable equity, they would also agree to the Rewarding Carbon-reduction scheme. From then on, the decisions you make could either earn you some extra money or reduce your chance of seeing your grandchildren. Best regards, alex.goslar

I don't possess the hubris to say this has never happened. However, what I will say is that what you describe is not how actual science works. In general, science gets done using one of two main methods. In one, researchers paid by an institution propose a study designed to test a hypothesis of interest (Does A influence B?). In the second, researchers respond to a call for proposals directly from a funding source whose interest is in a particular area of research. One could certainly make the argument that there is bias in which projects are chosen, but within a project, it's incredibly rare to go into basic research with an agenda, because the whole point of doing research is that we don't already know the answer. If you haven't set up blind procedures, etc., you have worthless data no reputable scientific journal will publish. It will therefore do neither your career nor reputation any good. The main situation in which you might say someone paid for results, rather than research, is if you were dealing with a think tank with an agenda, which publishes its own internal research without the peer review process that real scientists undergo before their work is even considered for publication, a process that has typically taken years. Thanks for holding on to healthy skepticism. It's an important tool of inquiry. Have a great day!

I am taking care of an individual, an ultimate environmentalist from decades ago, who is now convinced that since we didn't all die 20 or 30 years ago (as early environmentalist predicted, at the time), that it'll be hundreds of years, before anything much will start to affect the Human population. What do I tell him, if anything. He's got, maybe, 2 years to live.

I've spent a bit over 10 years providing in-home care for the elderly and disabled. For the most part my experiences tell me that it's not beneficial for anyone involved to challenge opinions, theories, and beliefs that do not relate to the individual's personal and medical care. That said, if they still have the desire to examine their own opinions, theories, and beliefs and WANT a debate about it, I'd consider carefully examining ideas not in line with the ones currently held by the individual. But the ultimate question is why. Yes, this topic is a life long passion for the individual you are caring for. And yes, it IS good for their mental health to engage them in things that get them to use their brain. But this topic specifically can be incredibly stressful and depressing, especially for someone who is passionate about it but has limited ability, time, and energy to do anything about it at this point in their life. So personally, I don't think I would challenge this belief.

IMO: I think the way to tackle climate change is to elect activist board members to the board of directors in the fossil fuel companies. The fossil fuel industry controls the conservative law makers and the narrative of the conservative bloggers.

If experts cared about humanity and wanted no carbon and affordable energy then we’d be supporting 100% nuclear power not wasting trillions on wind and solar. You put one unit of energy in solar and you get five units out. You put one unit of energy in nuclear power and you get 100 units outs. The policy that environmentalists and “experts” promote are horrible pollution wise and economically. We offshore pollution to have wind and solar products made in Asia with cheaper fossil fuels. EVs are also not clean. What’s the true cost of a Tesla when you have to pay someone to recycle the battery whereas with a normal car they’ll pay you for tbr metal. Sri Lanka collapsed and their leader was a WEF puppet. They burned oil for electricity. You didn’t see the UN help them as they watched the collapse. No one offered them a nuclear power plant. There are “experts” though that are against these experts. One of tbr co founders of green peace says that carbon is plant food and that the sun cycles create climate change: Listen to the experts. They say it’s climate change that’s caused rivers to be low in europe and people are finding writings on ricks with the water low. Answer this experts and don’t be a freaking hypocrite. If human pollution lowered water levels how was it human pollution that lowered rivers centuries ago when people first wrote on those rocks???????? How did human pollution cause a mini ice age a thousand years ago forcing tbr vikings out of some areas

I think this movie was just missing a little bit of tangible causation to tie it all together. Perhaps it's much easier to imagine the causes and trust the evidence when you can see footage of long trails of chimneys spanning kilometers covering cities in haze, gigantic mines and wells the size of cities accompanied by their processing plants, the piles of debris conglomerating on coasts, the difference between a busy industrial city and one with less traffic and factories, the incomprehensible amount of cars and boats and planes moving around nonstop daily - I think it makes it a bit harder to go "hmm, maybe these fires are not merely a cycle of nature".

[@calvinburr1248]

The powers in charge blundered over and over for the last two centuries by dismissing Thomas Malthus's warning. Malthus was incorrect on the details, but he was spot on with regard to the dangers of unchecked population growth and disasters caused by the unsustainable over-consumption of resources. Unfortunately, it is probably too late to avoid the untold suffering, but even if it's not too late those who are currently sounding the alarm are still being ignored and pushed aside, so any remaining chance of solving the problem is quickly slipping away. It is probably best to advise our children to not have children of their own, not because it will solve the problem of environmental damage (is it far too late for that), but because it will reduce and mitigate the impending untold suffering….those never born will be spared the "baked in" dystopian horrors to come.

[@tccragun]

It’s capitalism that causes climate change so you can’t blame all the people, just some of them.

[@calvinburr1248]

@@tccragun It doesn't matter what economic system a country runs under in the grand scheme of things. Of course, it can be argued that unregulated, free-market capitalism can accelerate and exacerbate the problem with environmental damage, but in the final calculus, an ever-increasing population on the planet will lead to the over-consumption of resources and over-production of pollution. In my opinion, all the efforts to reduce pollution and greenhouse gases are far too little and far too late at this point, especially if it isn't done while simultaneously reducing the world's population. If there ever was a solution to the problem of climate change it was to focus on depopulation, and achieving global cooperation and crafting policies toward that aim should have begun 100 years ago, or 50 years ago at the latest. Malthus sounded the alarm over 200 years ago. And, as I pointed out, he was wrong on the details concerning what specific consequences would result and when they would occur, but he was correct in concept. Advances in technology allowed us to kick the can down the road and tricked us into believing Malthus was totally wrong....but, that only transformed the specific disaster Malthus predicted into one that is far worse.

Thomas Malthus was used by racists to push a eugenics agenda so there's good reason people have shied away from his ideas.

Not really a scientist. Just a soil food web science enthusiast. Plant native to your area plants in your garden, on your balcony, wherever you can. Make it a habit to pester your representatives at least weekly. Share what you know with the people around you and ask them to contact their representatives. Start pestering the companies that you usually buy things from about their environmental practices and dig into their first answers and platitudes because it's probably greenwashing and demand more. Because this really isn't as effected as we're told on an individual level. It's major corporations that need to get with it and quit putting profits over people and the environment we have to live in.

many years ago biologist /forestry group stated we need more wildfires to increase biodiversity to save our dying forests. well govt. once again yielded to demands from a select group without open discourse with public on how to proceed with management plans to curtail said problems. like the out of control beetle infestations that ran rampant thru mostly pine forests in which forestry was warned by logging operators who live and work in the forests but it fell on deaf ears and the result was devastating to everyone involved in that and related industries...........and now the real problem facing everyone and that is air pollution not climate change and by the way climate change is a politicized phrase to divert attention away from the real problem......AIR POLLUTION.!!!!!🤨so what affects climate most? there is 2 billion years of historical data on it. research papers have it summarized. lets see since the last glacial maximum 20000 yrs. ago the interglacial started its warming phase and to this day this is still warming the planet. proof of this is that the northern hemisphere had in most places on the continents above a generalized latitude approx. 5000 ft of ice 20000 yrs. ago and now most of that has melted from a general constant warm temp from the interglacial.aka.global warming/climate change.and this has raised sea levels by 400 ft+ - and its still rising. the factor of the magnetic pole shifting radically to the russian mainland and nasa claims the earth axis has shifted due to global warming. well of course as previously stated most of the land in the northern half of the world was covered in ice only 20000 yrs. ago and its gone aka: global warming and that leaves us with one enigma to deal with and thats global air pollution and including jets /public air travel 98 billion gallons a year of jet fuel used by commercial air travel/ transport. actual climate change/global warming could possibly be pollution related and besides natures way of changing the climate which we can do nothing about it so it bings it all back to the old tiring statement air pollution /co2 bla,bla,bla. not much being done and it will cost the a lot of money and cooperation but they still rather spend it all on war/weapons......good luck😕
