  • Anjali Appadurai recounts a profound realization during a focus group with a young mother, highlighting her guilt over her contribution to climate change despite limited choices. The talk delves into the historical deception by petroleum companies regarding climate science and introduces the concept of "the new climate denial," acknowledging climate change but advocating for more fossil fuels. The speaker urges viewers to challenge this denial by envisioning bold climate solutions that benefit society as a whole. By rejecting incremental solutions and embracing transformative action, the talk inspires hope for a sustainable future, emphasizing the need for collective action to combat the climate crisis and create a better world for future generations. Anjali Appadurai is a climate justice organizer and campaigner. As a young activist, she worked with youth movements from around the world to build a strong civil society voice at the UN Climate Convention and to ensure that social movements' demands were heard in the halls of power. She runs the Padma Centre for Climate Justice, a project that brings together diasporic communities to build power around issues of climate and economic justice, and she works as Campaigns Director at the Climate Emergency Unit. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

      The idea is that human industry and energy production are _artificially_ increasing the rate of climate change. In a general sense, the world has warmed since the last glacial maximum; at some point it will begin cooling as the current "interglacial" period winds down. That is, unless human pollution interrupts the glaciation cycle altogether.

    It's going to be extremely difficult.
    Climate change was already noticed when we were just 1-2 billion. Now we're 8.
    Even if our carbon footprint would be 15% of what it was 100 years ago - without cars, electronics, travel - we'd still stay on trend. We need 8x as much mining, 8x as much furniture and heating. More, in fact, since we don't live in multi-generation cottages, and we renew and replace our homes every so often. We insulate better but also heat more. (25°C is the minimum expected in offices, malls, homes.)
    It all begins by shaming the Economic Growth. Which is difficult because public debt is designed with it.

      ​@@patpat5135 difficult ? yes. Impossible ? No. The future of energy production should prioritize renewables, particularly solar and wind, supplemented by storage batteries. Utilizing just 175 square miles of desert land could feasibly generate enough electricity to meet 100% of the USA's needs, representing a mere 0.1% of the country's desert area.
      However, this vision is often dismissed as "impossible" due to concerns about its perceived costliness rather than recognizing its potential as an economic opportunity. Given that the USA possesses a sovereign currency, concerns about debt are largely mitigated as long as inflation remains manageable.
      The prevailing notion that governments should manage finances akin to households is a fallacy that persists.

      Strange, because I'm already seeing change. That change is predicted to accelerate this decade.
      Hold on to your hat, because big change is right around the corner.
      Already Coal is dying. It is now the most expensive way to make electricity, while Renewables with storage, is the cheapest.
      What that means is that it is increasingly uneconomic to use coal for pretty much anything.
      Gasoline might seem strong today, but it's already in trouble. (That trouble is being hidden from the public with some very creative accounting.)

    Hi Anjali,
    Firstly, let me say that I genuinely appreciate the passion and dedication you bring to environmental issues. Your advocacy is inspiring and undoubtedly necessary. However, I believe it's crucial to examine the broader picture when discussing climate change and the proposed solutions.
    I'm no fan of oil or gas, but I'm also not thrilled with the idea of windmills covering vast land masses and large-scale solar farms. While solar panels, wind turbines, and biofuels might offer solutions on a smaller scale, they come with their own set of challenges when implemented broadly.
    CO2 Levels Over Time: Did you know that in the last 600 million years, the average CO2 level was about 2,600 ppm-nearly seven times higher than today’s 400 ppm? Even during the Quaternary period, CO2 levels averaged around 230 ppm and peaked at about 300 ppm some 320,000 years ago. A 300 ppm increase could actually boost plant growth by about 46% across various crops. This historical perspective challenges the dire narrative around current CO2 levels and their supposed impact.
    Greenhouse Gas Theory Contradictions: The theory that greenhouse gases absorb energy and cause the Earth to warm contradicts the Earth's spectral radiation curve. According to Kirchman's interpretation of the Stolman law and Newton's law of cooling, the Earth should be radiating more energy, not less, if the greenhouse gas theory were valid. Additionally, thermal emission spectrometer data from the Mars Global Surveyor in 1996 shows a CO2 'bite' in Earth's spectrum, raising questions about where the blocked radiation by CO2 goes.
    Thermodynamics and Emissivity: The sun is the primary energy source, and Earth's temperature is determined by thermodynamic equilibrium. Humans can only alter the planet's temperature by changing its emissivity, not CO2 levels. This perspective suggests that our understanding of climate dynamics might be more complex than the current narrative acknowledges.
    Critique of Modern Climate Science: Many academics fail to verify their data through experiments or practical applications. The greenhouse gas theory is often used for political purposes rather than being scientifically grounded. For instance, the rate of sea level rise has not accelerated significantly over the last 110 years. Vancouver's sea level has been rising at just 0.55 millimeters per year, contrary to catastrophic predictions. Historical data also show that the Earth's temperature and CO2 levels have fluctuated naturally over millions of years.
    Renewable Energy Challenges: The production of solar panels, batteries, and wind turbines involves significant mining activities and generates substantial waste. Is this really the 'green' solution we’re told it is? Mining for lithium, copper, nickel, cobalt, and other minerals essential for green tech is environmentally damaging and reliant on fossil fuels. For example, the carbon footprint of electric vehicles is substantial when considering the entire lifecycle-from mining to production and disposal.
    Natural Climate Drivers: David Dilley argues that Earth's climate has been cooling for the past 7,000 years with short-term shifts. We’re entering a global cooling cycle expected to be noticeable by 2030. This challenges the prevailing warming narrative and suggests natural cycles play a significant role. The Earth's elliptical path around the Sun changes over a 12,000-year cycle, affecting its distance from the Sun and, consequently, climate patterns. Additionally, the Moon’s elliptical path around the Earth causes variations in gravitational pull and tidal patterns, influencing climate events like coastal flooding.
    Political and Economic Influences: The push for net-zero emissions laws, like those in Delaware, and mandates for electric vehicle infrastructure may face public backlash as they begin to affect daily life. Every plant on Earth grows faster today than it would have in millions of years, with the Earth gaining 18 million square kilometers of leaf cover between 1982 and 2015. This is equivalent to adding all the plants on the continental United States multiplied by two to the planet.
    Epistemology and Validation Theory: Kirchman’s theory of validation found an inverted causal relationship between temperature and CO2, suggesting the greenhouse gas theory is invalid. Furthermore, the production processes for generating electricity for electric vehicles (EVs) involve significant resources, including methane gas extraction through fracking, coal mining, and the manufacturing of batteries. These processes contribute to carbon emissions, challenging the notion that EVs are a cleaner alternative.
    Microplastics and Environmental Impact: Contrary to popular belief, many microplastics found in the ocean are natural and have been there for a long time. The volume of microplastics in the ocean is only 1% of the total ocean water and weighs less than 8% of the ocean's total weight. This perspective suggests that human contribution to the microplastics problem might not be as significant as commonly thought.
    Why aren’t we discussing these aspects more openly? Why does challenging the narrative often lead to being labeled a 'denier'? It’s essential to think harder and broader about these issues instead of simply blaming industry for all our woes. Governments and political agendas play significant roles, and we must critically examine their policies and motivations.
    Thanks again for your perspective. While I could be wrong, and we all end up facing severe environmental consequences, it’s vital to have these discussions openly and honestly.
    Many Blessings,
    J W RIDDELL

This is missing the point as if we had less then half the exciting population we would do half the amount of damage to our planet. There are to many of us and we are living to long. The wildlife around us is not living longer, we are a parasite on the earth and just like any parasite if there are to many of them the host dies.

    By volume, the dry air in Earth's atmosphere is about 78.08 percent nitrogen, 20.95 percent oxygen, and 0.93 percent argon, adding up to 99.96 percent. A brew of trace gases accounts for the other approximately 0.04 percent, including the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. To think that a small increase (200 parts per million in the last hundred years) of carbon dioxide would affect the weather is absurd.

    While you're doing that, lookup the cost on extracting precious metals to make electric vehicles.

    Each day starting May 10, 2010 takes us 1000 years to the past of the universe.
    Today April 25, 2024 the state of our universe is the same as it was 5 million and 99 thousand years ago.
    On october 13, 2026 the state of our universe will be at the point 6 million years in the past.
    On june 04, 2051 the state of our universe will be at the point 15 million years in the past.
    On june 28, 2092 the state of our universe will be at the point 30 million years in the past.
    On april 02, 2147 the state of our universe will be at the point 50 million years in the past.
    The result is that the universe is heading back to the point where it started and today we live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago.
