Water and Climate Change: Nobel Week Dialogue 2018

[@susanarupolo2212]

Thank you to all of you , I am sharing this with friends. And I am vegetarian( sometimes I eat chicken) I recycle things, avoid shopping, use public transportation, walks . My big mistake I use air transportation once a year to visit my grandchildren. I share my information because sometimes we do not know how to help this lovely Planet.

What an education to listen to this learned panel and the host. It has always been clear to me that we as humans are in the state of self-denial on water and climate change. The eye-opening fact is more water does not mean water for everyone but more for those who already have more and less for those with less of it. the great limitation of the economists is that they have only growth model , and no model that reflect environmental friendly growth. And most important of all, the world is yet not ready to do carbon pricing. The only point I missed in this discussion was about the utmost need of inter-governmental cooperation for financing solutions to reverse climate change.

[@mzismamacow]

I urge and challenge us all to use our power to vote, our influence and pressure in getting our government to make our Climate Change Crisis a priority and to BEGIN taking IMPACTFUL ACTIONS on a national and international scale and scope! ✊

I live in a small apartment uses public transport, has no car, my trash bag is thrown out after 3 weeks and it’s a very small 20 liter contained bag.

[@tuoratoo]

K. Nielsen: You can further reduce your carbon footprint by saving water. -An empty 1 gallon milk jug, a funnel to guide your stream without splashing. All on the top of closed lid commode. Good for a whole week instead of 6 flushes a day.

Love me some Steven Chu, but when he drifted over to "technical solutions", I rolled my eyes. "If stupidity got us into this mess, why can't it get us out"? ........ Will Rogers. "The source of most problems is solutions" ...... Eric Sevareid

[@liftnd844]

Think it’s laughable that we can control the temperature of the earth like a thermostat. Talk about over simplification of a complex system like the climate. We just cut co2 and presto we are in complete control of temperature

[@dennishorne1542]

Straw man. No expert says that.

[@Jester123ish]

A mature and intelligent discussion about Global Warming, it's a wonderful thing to see! And the world has dozens of people like this, dozens I tell ya!

[@MrMyz123]

No data why ?

[@vladimir0700]

Unlike the speakers here I see no reason whatsoever for any kind of optimism. Basically, I think we’re screwed

[@ryanharvey9800]

We are go lookup global dimming and guy McPherson

[@earthman4222]

You are missing the boat. The most powerful greenhouse gas in the world is dihydro monoxide. The oceans are full of dihydro monoxide as well. Even the Columbia hydro-electric projects use dihydro monoxide. Be the first politician to save the world from the most powerful greenhouse gas of them all - dihydro monoxide.

[@norag8265]

Yes, specifically in the stratosphere

[@FonsecaStatter]

Very good... L.O.L... ;-)

[@tmurray6812]

Cherry picking science

[@andrewrogers1589]

If you live within 20 or 30 miles of the coast a normal rain now floods fields where the water table is higher It crumbles pavement from underneath

[@mikepict9011]

" we need more power scotty "

[@kirstinstrand6292]

Why are the common insects dying off? 20 years, spiders have been everywhere this time of the year...none last year or this year...no flies now either. Why not?

[@tomdehen]

Here in Portland, Oregon, flies are now rare, mosquitoes are few and the few spiders we see are wispy as if they are starving. We fear for the birds, so we now put suet out for them.

[@cidsapient7154]

come to minnesota we got plenty still the entire midwest weve been controlling the population of many insects since the 70s also i wouldnt doubt that theres many factors that add to decreased small life on the west coast between the constant pollution from ppl and cars, ur also dealing with increased radiation from fukashima the constant draining of ground water the farming of deserts puts a lot of particulates into the air 2x a year or more

[@nehalakhwan1155]

I am looking for fellowship opportunities in the area of impact of climate change on water resources, any suggestions?

[@danishali6746]

Respected from Pakistan,we have been facing here big problems no one can consider it as a challeneg eveyone here busy who make mony for him/her self no care about mother nature. So what should we individual those who wellaware regarding big issues

[@icorrectly]

Where's the opposition to the climate change advocates in this discussion?

[@dennishorne1542]

No rational person wants to hear from uninformed cranks.

[@keithgibbins4058]

These people talk of global warming affecting the water when it is really the water that regulates the earths temperature.

[@dennishorne1542]

No it's not water. It's the non-condensable greenhouse gases, principally CO2.

[@River-ov4ni]

cool, maybe you should go educated these scientists and Nobel laureates since you are obviously smarter than them.

[@DCSwamp-il6yb]

Then do we tax the water because the water release gases.

[@saatee100]

They all agree on a bunch of BS, science really? No opposite views are presented etc... dreadfull

[@w1w2r3c4]

Where are the speakers against this.

[@Brajaxo]

Writing on climate change denying blog websites

[@daz9162]

what about water displacement

[@xy-xj5gm]

Johan Rockstrom is an agronomist, not a climate scientist.

[@KristianIvarsson]

Travelling Wilbury He’s a professor in environmental science

[@610vegas]

regardless of who is right about the science should we not plan for the worse case and hope for the best. Even Elon Musk says he does not know what is going to happen it's just an experiment not worth taking.

[@kirstinstrand6292]

To me, they said much about nothing. Filling only a role, with no significantly useful information.

[@joeclaring1156]

Imagine a perfect system. It runs in cycles. Sooner or ltr the fans gonna kick on n were talking about ice age not global whatever.

[@oblitafier]

Joe Claring Congratulations, this is the dumbest comment I’ve read so far.

[@ncwdevine]

The UN goal is 6 meters. How do they expect to do this? Dams? When they discover they cannot do anything about man will move like he has always done as evidenced by cities under the sea. LOL

[@artm8dk]

Or just the next 5 years !

[@mikepict9011]

Do you think that atmospheric nuclear detonations at the north pole could strengthen our electromagnetic shield with its radioactive isotopes? Along with seeding the ocean, and rapidly transitioning to nuclear and renewable energy might save human civilization as we know it ?

[@kimweaver3323]

No. Radioactive isotopes are not magnetic, per se. Seeding the ocean has a possible effect ...... dead anoxic seabeds. Which offgas and kill us all with H2S. Nuclear is a loser. Renewables built now have to rely on a vast amount of carbon fuel. Inevitably you have to use whatever energy regime you have to build the new regime.

[@jerenemiller1468]

Dang so they dont know any way themselfs how to help our planet without using everything they said has to go 80 years in the future??? Im not a genius or smart im having it hard to understand but my nephews 11 years old and always talks about what he learns in school and climate change scares me not climate change but iguess im scared we humans will really hurt the earth so badly that our future generations wont have a good living situation on earth

[@rodmac5633]

What about the grand solar minimum, cooling is expected by 2025

[@williamkline1524]

Fewer than 3,000 views, so sad. the warming continues as heat is trapped and more sunlight keeps heating the earth. Why doesn't anyone talk about 2200 and 2300, they all stop at "...by the end of the century".

[@johntiseo9578]

Absolute bullshit, I live in a part of the UK which was below sea level previously and 100 miles inland, the chalk hills prove it. There was no man made Co2 then. Our orbit, our tilt and sun activity determines all.

[@2aSprite]

Rubbish

[@nickbagnall]

Fear mongering
