So incredibly important that people watch this. The free market is, itself, the best pathway to green energy. Subsidizing expensive forms of green energy only continue to incentivize inefficiency knowing they will be heavily subsidized.
the single best thing that we could do, a million times better than solar panels, is to just make monoculture farming illegal. If all farming was permaculture, we would be building up the environment instead of destroying it.

I think Georgism is apologia for colonization. "If you can be more productive on a piece of land (owned by American Indians, Africans, South Americans, or any other property owner) then society can vote it away from you." This isn't a straw man. This is the bullshit they actually believe.
I would not call this video, "from an economic point of view" but "from a political point of view", the initial statements you used to make your case, are plainly ridiculous and not of them in the IPCC report, you only used them to condition the audience that the climate change is exaggerated, but still I would take into consideration any point of view if at least you develop how you get to those conclusions, so at least you should let the sources of the information so we can understand if they are reasonable or not. (At least the IPCC report in detail how they got to that conclusion and states clearly when they aren't confident of particular judgment)
The Deloitte model says we'll have an economic impact of $178,000,000,000,000 over 50 years. Divide by 8 billion...$22,000 per person? $400-500 a year? Yeah, I think I can live with that.
In the 5th source on your website, the footnote says that the entire report used the IPPC's drop in consumption as a GDP figure, because the difference was minor. Isn't GDP household spending plus government spending plus exports? I don't get how you can switch it.
GDP = C+I+G+NX Consumption, Investment, Government spending and Net Exports I haven't read the footnotes but it sounds like they were saying C ≈ C+I+G+NX. That I+G+NX = 0 or some small number that can be rounded to 0 for convenience.
There are so many things wrong with this video, man. 1. Why make a video full of jargon for the average youtube audience? What are you trying to achieve? I doubt 75% of people who watched this understood half the thing. The people who can understand this don't need your video animations. They just read the text and go yep, yep, nope yep. It is the people who lack this education you need to educate here on this platform. Look at how other successful science communicators do this like Neil degrasse Tyson or Kurzgesagt. They explain things in such a way even the average Joe learns something accurate. 2. Also, it is not rocket science. Don't over-complicate the problem. Climate change is simple. Go back to simple deductive logic. A. Greenhouse gases increase global temperature. B. For the past few decades global temperature has increased non-stop exponentially. C. Humans cause a lot of B. D. If temperature keeps rising non-stop, cities will drown, global mass refugees, breakdown of world stability, potential wars, lack of food, extreme fire, extreme floods, extreme storms, starvation, potential rise of dictators amid the chaos... the world will become a very terrible place. E. Can you trust humanity to prevent point D ON TIME? Do you want to gamble this planet believing humanity is competent enough to fix climate change when it becomes very bad? Maybe we can fix it when it becomes bad, maybe not. The fact is nobody can say for sure. But the question is: "Do you want to risk this one planet trusting the competency of humanity?". If fixing D means creating a sense of urgency in the world now and say the world may end in 12 years, then so be it. The fact is that if global temperature keeps rising the world will end for sure, it will just take a bit longer like a few decades or a hundred years. We want to get people to act now, so that we are ON TIME to fix this in case we are too late.
THANK YOU! I had to use vague context clues to try and piece together the meaning of a sentence that was basically incoherent to me. Everyone in these comments is believing everything said in the video at face value and taking it as an excuse to ignore the problem...saddening
1. Then this video is not for you, this video is for who understand economics. 2. What are said in this video is how do you fix it on time, and what is the right way to fix it.
This video is the latest iteration of the denialism agenda. It uses jargon to create subtle doubt, uses flawed arguments to justify inaction, and folds the doubt and inaction into a conservative politics that alleviates anxiety and fear. This is just telling people what they want to hear. It would be irrelevant noise, if it weren’t promoting a threat that is global, catastrophic and imminent.
How much CO2 has been the result of unnecessary manufacturing due to planned obsolescence?? But where do economists say anything about the depreciation of under engineered consumer garbage? But if we buy more junk they add it to GDP. What is NDP? Economists can't do algebra.
We definitely need minimum quality and lifespan standards for appliances, cars, and consumer goods. If not for climate, then for consumer protection and saving the consumer money.

Your argument is flawed at every step, but I will focus on one item because I think it's funny. You said people should not worry because if all nukes on earth were detonated, they would not even pierce the Earth’s mantle? The Earth’s mantle is about 1800 miles (2900km) thick and roughly 84% of the Earth’s entire volume. If that was the measuring stick for what we should and should not be concerned about, no one in all of existence has ever had a problem.
he probably meant to say 'crust' - but that is still a flawed argument, because it depends on how you do it. All the nukes at one time, underground.... yeah, I think you can make a volcano.
I also love the 'humanity is not that powerful argument' then going on to immediately disprove that by stating we could wipe out 99%+ (all but the most resilient) lifeforms on what we currently know to be the only planet with life
Lol. The calculations at [7.49] are ridiculous. As if economists had ever predicted anything correctly to that precision. 2.5C will cost humanity EVERYTHING not 2.9% of GDP.
I’d rather die than stop eating my seafood and meat. I’m fine with everything else but I’m not going vegetarian. All you got to do is hunt and not mass produce food.
I must admit this video is not quite as annoying as the other climate change videos I’ve seen, but I the end it’s the same thing using a softer approach. The arrogance of believing humans are so powerful that we can control the course of nature is quite annoying. Plus, the claim that any extreme weather event is due to man made climate change is absurd and unprovable. Extreme weather has been the norm on this planet and what we consider to be extreme is quite tame when you the whole of earths history. Also, the thought that Pigovian taxes are not Marxist is ludicrous. Taxes used to control behavior is the essences of Marxism! Finally, green policies pushed onto Sri Lankan farmers has led to famine and economic collapse. We must be leary when making life changing decisions based off a model which could not have known much less accounted for the thousands of potential variables. Heed the words of Thomas Sowell, “there are no solutions, there are only trade offs”, please consider the trade offs before making life altering changes in order to “save the earth”! These green initiatives not only have significant economic impacts, but more importantly it incurs great human costs when many of us never think about as we stroll around in our electric cars!

"Ignoring all other effects of climate change." 😂😂😂😂😂 Yes, lets look at economics ignoring all other effects of climate change. Elaboration : If any one of the coastal or river side cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Shanghai, Hong Kong, London or Singapore flooded out all these optimistic economic models fail.

You cannot ignore other effects of climate change in order to support market economics ans unrestrained capitalism.
