  • Climate change is unfair. While rich countries can fight against rising oceans and dying farm fields, poor people around the world are already having their lives upended - and their human rights threatened - by killer storms, starvation and the loss of their own lands. Mary Robinson asks us to join the movement for worldwide climate justice.

    I'll say, fine speech!
    She should've really mentioned nuclear energy, though.
    Or at least realize some problems with trying to move to fully renewable energy, she made it sound as if it's the obvious choice and that we've been stupid to not have done it yet.

      +Anston Music Solar power produces more than nuclear in total (if you look at how much area they require). So if you want to build a nuclear plant, you can just build a solar station instead and have less space used.

    • @AnstonMusic
      @AnstonMusic 8 років тому

      Jon Wise I really like the potential of solar power too, but there is the problem that we still can't really store energy, so if we had most of our electricity using solar energy we could have a power shortages during nights, dark and cloudy days and in the north: winters. It's a bit unreliable and doesn't work everywhere. I live in Finland for example, and it'd be difficult to produce solar power effectively here. Besides, I don't think that area thing is really correct, could you elaborate?
      Otherwise I'm all for solar power.

    • @JohnBastardSnow
      @JohnBastardSnow 8 років тому

      Anston Music
      About area.. I heard that Elon Musk saying in a conversation with the energy minister of Germany. You have to factor in that Nuclear plants besides themselves have exclusion zones and solar panels don't need any geographical buffer around them. 1 square km of 100 solar efficiency is one gigawatt hour. This means 5 square km are 1 gigawatt hour at 20% efficiency. As for storing, Tesla currently making some innovation in this space. They already have powerpack which can store relatively large amount of energy are getting experimented with by big companies like Amazon and they have powerwall for users. Yes, they don't cost that cheap, but it's still a solution.

      +Rikortez It's just curiosity, I never watched the video and therefore couldn't judge its content. Sadly that's because I can't put up with any kind of climate change video anymore. Activism and scepticism both have good points, and there is no reasonable way for me to judge which information is objective,accurate and representative. And being convinced of anything to a religious level never can be good.

    You might think that a lot of ppl are downvoting this because it's about climate change, or because she's a woman and she's talking (as a white male this triggers me omg!). But people might actually be *downvoting it because she's a famous politician*. She was president of Ireland.
    Seriously, look at all the other TED talks with politicians, they get voted down pretty hard. Politics always attracts a cloud of hate along for the ride. I think i much prefer this being the reason people are hating on her, rather than the alternatives mentioned above.
    edit: oh, it's TEDwomen. Yeah ok that's probably the reason it's being downvoted, i'm convinced that people have votebots triggered by any mentioned on TEDwomen.

      ***** There's no debate? The people of Europe just believe what they read? And this is some how better? lol

    • @ZombieX13
      @ZombieX13 8 років тому +1

      ***** So those who have read the material and have rejected it in some fashion are then educated meaning your statement "because every educated person has already examined the evidence beforehand" is hollow. Your statement is tautological.
      I seriously doubt that everyone who has read the "scientific articles" (and by your definition are now educated) agrees with the conclusion that global warming (Whatever that term is supposed to mean this week) is man-made, non-cyclical, etc. This is where the debate is... sort of: "educated" people disagree with the method or the conclusion thereby bringing the matter to debate.
      There are scientists who do not agree with the "concensus." In fact, there are scientists who's work has been misinterpreted to support anthropogentic global warming. These scientists have tried to speak out but get silenced or ignored.

      Are you suggesting they cannot find land elsewhere without their president? It would seem to me they'd be much better off without government if that were the case. They'd have more money and handle themselves much more efficiently

Cuz the public transport is pathetic, there's barely a place to keep my foot. The frequency of vehicles is quite less and they are never punctual. I blame my government for this. Even if people want to use public transport, so that they can save some money. They can't because of the pathetic services provided by government.

      If the public transport was average, I would have loved to travel by it. Atleast the government in my area should increase the frequency. So that there's some leg space. Trust me if I prefer public transport, I can save upto more than 80% of cash from which I am currently spending on commute to work.

    The biggest problem, to me at least, the seemingly hardest choice that seems to be: If we carry on growing econmically, we put out selves in ever more danger from climate change. However, in order to reduce climate change to under 2 degrees, we effectively have to plundge ourselves into poverty. And we are just so close to ending poverty. In the 15 years, there will be no poor countries. So we either get grower riches and the planet warms up, or, we reduce the change but we're all poor. Either way, we're fucked.

    we will have to actively cool the world by blocking sunlight, this will require us to go to space and move celestial objects. a geosynchronous asteroid or 10,000 will be needed to help block out the growing sunlight. don't think it has to do with the sun? go ahead and explain the changing weather on the other planets then. we aren't polluting jupiter.
