He was doing what he had been put there to do and was protected. Unlike i suspect yourself, I speak to scientists some of which have worked for the IPCC, including some who have been part of the IPCC, independent review process. They tell me that they do their review, point out all the problems they have found with the scientific report (usually including a LARGE amount of scientific studies that always seem to have been left out conveniently), they are thanked and then their review is completely ignored and the scientific report published as written (except of course on those occasions when the IPCC has requested the lead authors CHANGE their conclusions to match the Advice for Policymakers Report which is released first), so if they take no notice of their own expert review panel i see no use in going to them. The selective use of capitals in written communication is an effective way of stressing a change in voice tone in order to emphasize certain phrases. this is impossible to achieve any other way, so i suggest YOU just grow up and realize that the point of communication is NOT to stroke the receivers ego but to pass on the information in the most effective way.

@@daspicsman Everyone knows right from wrong, but if you're a CEO and you're faced with being fired or keeping your job and all you have to do is to be beholden to your investors, either you will do what it takes to keep your job, or someone else will take it. As company, either you can compete with other companies, or you can't. If one of them does something unethical that gives them the edge, and you're unwilling to do the same, you will lose and become irrelevant, or your company might even fail. You can only be so ethical as it doesn't stand in the way of your survival, and capitalist selection thinks nothing of ethics. There's a reason why I'll never be a CEO or a politician. I'm not willing to compromise. Under the current system, you can be sure that pretty much all of those in power will be those willing to compromise, often times at first making good excuses for it and often believing it. Take the example of a politician. They had to make themselves palatable to corporate interests, or else they wouldn't get the support they need to get elected. But they do it because they think "Once in power, I can work on changing things for good". But then, everyone around them is corrupt and will get in the way unless they compromise some more. And here it goes, they slowly but surely become corrupt, without really realizing it at first. They think "I have to do that one thing I really hate in order to do that other thing that will help countless more". But then it never stops. They lose touch with the outside world. People hate them, so they start hating them back. Again, if you want to fix corporate greed, you need to change the incentives enough so that greed is no longer advantageous at the very least. And to me, it goes beyond just making it more costly for companies to do the wrong thing. Because there's always cracks and loopholes and weaknesses to exploit. You have multiple people with money and power competing against each other? They will necessarily find ways to take advantage so they can win. You can regulate capitalism as stringently as you want, some people will have an interest in bypassing your rules, and there goes the corruption again and again and again.

21:00 It's not very often that I am downright inspired to point out something wrong with a wishy-washy statement someone makes... Feel free to label me slightly pessimistic given her endeavors towards trying to make the world a better place for the future path that the human species tries making for itself as time continue flowing on. She's very likely doing quite a bit more than me to help solve a bunch environmental issues which currently plague our green, blue and white(ice caps/snow) marble that we continue to ride on through our short galactic journeys. But... Saying something like, "Every person being able to contribute something to solutions, so there's a lot we can learn from just being a little bit more... :smiles: Like nature! Or like the ocean." Is anyone else not going to point out the small bit of hypocrisy she is just soft-tossing out to the audience when saying something like we should all just be a bit more like nature..? Because "nature" as far as I've witnessed not only has the tendency to "heal itself," and find the equilibrium that the entities(people, plants, animals, etc.) who reside in it allow it to manifest through their actions. BUT and a BIG BUT, nature also has nooooooooooo problem at all EATING ITSELF and THE OTHERS in it! Sure, nature is a sweetie pie when witnessing a beautiful beach sunset with some loved ones after a nice fulfilling day, but try telling to any animal(people included) that nature is something you would like to frame ANY consciously minded individuals state of mind after when you start to consider the gruesome and terrifying death that a majority of species are faced with when it comes to dying on this planet. As a comedian once brought to my attention, imagine if fish could scream; the moment you put your head underneath the water all you'd hear is non-stop "AHHHHHHHHHHHH, HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLP, UGGHDFGHDGFAHSDAS!!!" Not exactly a pleasant thought, is it? Anyways, just trying to be a little bit more aware of how, what and why people say things and the ACTUAL meaning behind the statements when you think about what is said and how people interpret it without giving it much additional thought. Just my two cents.

They said if they had opposite thumbs they would be close to monkeys. People love to say how horrible it is when China has the Yulin dog festival but this is just do to our views as dogs as pets, pigs are just as loving and intelligent. If you wouldn’t kill your dog the same applies to pigs but because many people don’t have them as pets they don’t see it. The way most pigs/cows/chickens are treated is enough to be upset and is bad for us when pumped full of crap. It really is sad people place a temporary “taste” over long term solutions.

Ways to combat global warming: 1. Better insulate your home. A lot of energy is produced to heat and cool homes year round because they are so poorly insulated. 2. Grow some plants. 3. Consume less. An average person does not need to eat 5,000 calories a day. That also pertains to spend less time behind a screen. (ironic here I know) A lot of energy is wasted to power your screen especially when people have multiple screens active at one time. You don't need a TV on while you aimlessly scroll through social media. A lot of power is also needed to run the 24/7 servers for your entertainment. Consuming less would also mean less garbage which would mean less methane gas build ups from landfills. 4. In the same line as 3, but equally as important: have less children. You do not need to have five children. 5. Make air travel allowed only during the daytime. Seen estimates that say if all air traffic happened only during the daytime, then we could lower the global temp by 1-2 Celsius. 6. Abandon corn based ethanol and use sugar cane ethanol. It uses less land, less water, and less overall energy needed to create e-fuels from sugar cane than corn. 7. Force planes to use e-fuels. While that will make air travel significantly more expensive, Nasa has estimated that e-fuels in planes would reduce emitted VOC's by 70%. 8. Use less plastic or embrace bio-plastics like a hemp based plastic. Less plastic production means less oil needed, by a percent, and less industrial waste throughout the world. 9. Put more pressure on actual industrial companies and politicians. You know, those are just some ideas, but sure. Lets make it a race issue instead.

My parents retired in relative comfort. Milton Freedman is blamed for starting the corporate greed culture that took over and has resulted in 2 income households with no savings living paycheck to paycheck. The notion that humans can now turn that system around and create one that works for the common good seems very naive. Working to mitigate the effects of climate change while also adapting and preparing as individuals seems most practical. Climate change may be an existential threat. It is more likely it will result in massive human population declines and wildlife extinctions. I believe humans will get through the coming crisis and will be living in a less populated world with sophisticated technology and an appreciation for living sustainably. It will likely be a challenging multigenerational experience.

Tax and put more restrictions on the majority while allowing the billionaires/millionaires to carry on with their luxurious lifestyles?
@PG-34622 жыл бұрын
Billionaires are only that rich because everyone overconsume the cheap products they sell. If no one ever started encouraging Amazon and its business model, Bezos would have never become that rich. It's easy to blame the government and corporations, while sitting on your ass in your huge 4x4 pickup/SUV, while eating some overprocessed fast-food and while also thinking about what new useless cheap product you can purchase on Amazon. I don't know if you have this particular lifestyle, but the vast majority of people have giant overconsumption problems. It's pathetic to believe the government can solve pollution without anyone having to make any effort to change their own lifestyle.

@@PG-3462 I get that but your allowed to buy those things and most people who have disposable income chose to have "luxurious" items like tvs, phones etc. It won't stop until governments step in and restrict unessential products. But who will decide whats essential and unessential? Then there's the legal implications of doing such things. I can't see there being a solution until its too late.

@@chorizo8939 😂 "Industrial companies conduct their business independant of the average consumer" Companies produce what consumers want to consume. End of the discussion. For example, Apple exists because millions of people purchase the phones it sells. If no one wanted to purchase overpriced cheap phones manufactured in China, Apple would either need to change its business model or go bankrupt. If Exxon Mobil increases its oil production, it's not just for fun. It's because oil CONSUMPTION increases. Why is oil consumption increasing? Because the average person adopts a lifestyle which requires always more oil. What is for example the most popular type of vehicle in the USA? Pickup trucks. In China? Big 4x4 SUVs. How many people travelled by airplane in 1980? 800 million. In 2019? 4.6 billion. How can't you realize that pollution comes directly from our consumption choices??? The more imported cheap stuff people purchase, the more pollution there's gonna be.

@@lincslegend6936 In every scenario, we will need to change our lifestyle. Waiting for the government to tell you what to purchase and what not to purchase won't solve any problem... Also, TVs and phones aren't luxurious items anymore. According the the quick Google search I made, 7.26 billion people (91% of the Earth's population) now one a smartphone... If people at least purchased phones of higher quality and took care about them to keep them for a very long time, it would be better. However, the majority of people purchase some cheap iPhones or Huawei which need to go to trash after 2-3 years. My 6 year old Motorola Moto G (manufactured entirely in the USA) is still functionning perfectly. Unfortunately, people didn't encourage Motorola and its local production, so Motorola displaced its phone production to Asia... now I guess the quality of the phone decreased. If everyone wanted high quality phones peoduced locally, then production would come back to the US (or any other country if the population wants so)

Solutions for climate change: 1. Local domestic production of goods: Most greenhouse gas emission is attributable to transport of goods. If goods are able to be produced locally with minimal transport, fossil fuel use can be greatly reduced. Problem: resources to manufacture goods are rarely all available locally which necessitates shipment of raw materials, this solution only limits greenhouse gas production, it does not eliminate environmental damage. 2. Mass societal shift away from globalist capitalism into agrarian living: If there is no demand for resource intensive consumer goods, they will no longer be produced and shipped, heavily reducing greenhouse gases. Problem: modern society has become accustomed to a certain quality of life, it is not viable to expect society to regress on such a large scale to living without such luxuries. 3. Tech solution: Technology can be invented to reduce or reverse climate change effects. Problem: this solution is the most amenable to our current way of life but also the most uncertain. If technology is able to reduce/reverse climate change, it will also accelerate us towards a dystopian future of power abuse by megacorporations and governments.
@markj76122 жыл бұрын
Good points. You should also have added that a worldwide shift to a plant-based diet would be the easiest and most immediate thing that humanity could do to dramatically mitigate climate change. Worldwide meat/diary-production agriculture generates as much greenhouse gases as all of the world's transportation systems combined and is the major driver of deforestation worldwide. Some 80% of Amazon deforestation is for the purposes of grazing livestock and raising food for livestock. We can do what you suggested, but 8 billion people consuming meat will still destroy the earth, and is destroying it.

Not even getting into how the local environment is affected from runoff to the wet wipes people flush down the toilet now. At the end of the day using technology aka ,anything that uses energy, is detrimental to the earth. Imagine going to Vegas and the strip is dark at night because all of those lights use a lot of energy. It just simply won’t happen without wide spread government legislation. Especially when you factor in our nations inability to go full nuclear because who makes money off that?
