    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.

      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.

I found it inspiring that Dr. Ripple sent out this warning to 40 scientists, and 2,100 scientists from the whole world banded together to support this warning to humanity. Stand up to climate change. As we saw with the Yellowstone crisis, small changes have big ripple effects.

      Sadly there is no way to "stand up" the climate change at this point, all of the climate feedback loops are in motion and the tipping points were passed years ago. We are already in the era of abrupt climate change leading to near-term human extinction. No human or group of humans are able to stop what's coming. We might have had a slim chance 20 plus years ago to reverse things but that ship sailed long ago. Prepare for impact cuz it's going to get ugly really fast

      Climate Activists are by part dealing the Oil Companies Lies, like someone would had Emissions in private, when 90% of all Emissionens are based economical,
      not eat meat , not to dirve a car does not makre any difference because there are near to Zero Emissions, Emissions are when you go to work, when you have a Kid wanna go to work one day, because 90% of all Emissions are caused by the early industrial revolution, capitalism and globalism = In and Exports and Companies set up in other countries, to eat Wagyu every day are Zero Emissions, the Problem is that dirty ship is driving the Wagyu around the world.
      You have also not to save Water in Climate Change, because also Water Usage is by 80-90% by industry, when you save Water you save of maybe 5% and this wil be used then from the Industry to get even more rich and NOT be there to resucure Soil or Life with Drinking Water.

    I am 71 years old, I was born in Montana and was taught how to build a campfire using one match and keep it contained. I lived in Sonoma county seven miles west of Santa Rosa and watched it burn in a very strange manner a month or so before Paradise went up in smoke. 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.?! Paradise was in a forest and looking at it from Google earth the whole town was burnt to ash yet the surrounding forest looked untouched. Something is not right about these events. I don't believe they were natural in the least, this is man's work and evil as hell.

      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.
      What man caused pollution created the mini ice age a thousand years ago that forced the Vikings to leave some areas?

    As long as capitalism is the system, everything has a price tag, people, and countries, no one except the well to do and those who live in areas where they don’t rely on current infrastructure and capitalism, can afford to change, and by the time those In power and the wealthy, wake up and decide to change, it will likely be to late, once we reach the tipping points, which we may already reached, all we can do is prepare for the worst, in my opinion…like you I’ve been aware of all this for decades and live very conservatively but real change requires the economic system to change…

    In doing what i can to transform the parts of my life which are open to reducing resource consumption, I've noticed two things which stand in the way. 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. We have no idea how to live without paying someone else for the production, transport, sale and storage of stuff, and we're drowning in the stuff and in all the waste stuff creates.

      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'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.

    "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.

    Go watch the soil food web by Dr Elaine Ingham a scientist that has woken up years ago to the potential disaster to the world, if we do not change our ways. This video is encouraging because it is adding support to what Dr Elaine Ingham has been talking about.

    It's odd that this film is not marked with the UA-cam climate change disclaimer.
