After THE OIL MACHINE: Kevin Anderson
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 жов 2022
- The issues raised in the film THE OIL MACHINE have become even more urgent with recent upheavals in energy security, the cost of living, and our climate. At the same time, the UK government is rushing to offer 100 new licences for North Sea oil and gas exploration. One year on from the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, we’re now going back to the film’s contributors to ask them how recent global events have shaped the ongoing debate about oil.
Here's our catch-up with Kevin Anderson, a professor of energy and climate change, and now also a co-founder of Climate Uncensored.

Thanks for hosting this informative discussion with Kevin Anderson
Excellent presentation with Kevin Anderson. As usual, charmingly savage.
Causation is not governmental inaction but ultimately is all of us not wishing to lose any of our standard of living. Very cheap energy makes our system run. Who will volunteer to to double, triple or quadruple the inflationary costs of energy immediately which would help lower its use? Renewables are not sustainable in any case. We are not sustainable. Get real? Never going to happen but instead look forward to lots of bad news and fewer humans. Chaos.
nope.....we were already over the cliff by 1960....any chance of buying our selves more time needed to be done far far earlier than what is stated here.....its over folks....we needed big changes many many years ago
We do still need to do what we can to preserve any chance of saving some of the species left on the planet. We should absolutely degrow, and cap off nuclear plants so they don't explode and make it impossible for any life for millions of years.
Nice one Kevin - you can rely on this academic expert not to mince words and to speak clearly about the depth and breadth of the crisis we're facing. I was delighted to show him and his partner my composting contribution to the Green Gathering this summer. Lovely people, I wish them both well.
Right on. Favourite phrasing: 5:47
"Greenwashing is a polite term. It's lying."
I also love the term "mitigation denial" (from about 11:50).
Thanks Kevin you have spoken clearly and truthfully. We are seeing these weather events more intense and happing more often. Like was said can't pin point any one event and say it's directly a result of climate change. Been said before. I would take that a little further and say we could all have a 100.storms all at once a hundred times stronger than what we ate used to . Still couldn't say they were because of climate change . But these record breaking storms drought floods.record highs and lows in temperatures. and wind and unreasonable trends early spring late fall effecting crops and yeald . All.togerther is flat out climate change.
Thes4 oil companies have not only lied and used propaganda. Millions and millions of dollars over here in the states There intrinched them selfs in every political party that is created a web of lies that is all begain boiling and slitting apart the USA never have I felt un patriotic as I do now sewing the lies denial still going on when truth is people are dieing and it's a directly from the effects from climate change and with the lies oh that main stream doesn't seem to like reporting about
We know same companies own or control that end
To me it's like a old story you might find in the Bible
As the world stared warming back in old world from burning fossil fuels the kings of oil wasn't going to five up there gold so they bought the governments of the world. Took control of the news being reported even using false claims about climate change propaganda pumped into background groups like heartland that people donate millions I would .imagine taking donations from people while feeding them this false information denial that is almost brainwashing
Why are we in this mess? Burning Fossil fuel.
Why are so many people in denial over climate change? False propaganda from fossil fuel companies
Why do we have a political divide in the states at least a bi chunk is the result in a good portion is.tba result.from fossil fuel companies. The fossil fuel companies should. Be put on trial for killing this planet we could all boycot.the use but effects. Would shut down everything economy's would fall. Billions of people would die if we stopped this now and we soared threw years that could of been greened. We are to late sorry but we humans are spoiled and good luck with the book I hope any profits go to saving the planet as you mentioned didn't go to the G27 and maybe you should have
a few years ago i gave up trying to design passive solar homes for customers here in oregon- there is just too much ignorance in the general population and the building community here to change from the conventional road/property layouts and cutesy look, oh and the view off to the mtns. on the west side (the worst for heat gain in summer and loss in winter). so sad. shit they can't even face the long side of the building to the south so the roof can accept PV panels. that should be code!
120 cubic ft. Per person should be code. Probably wouldn't be many homeless people either.
Kevin, brutal honesty on here right now would be you admitting that it doesn't matter what we do (not that we will do much) to mitigate climate disaster. That it is happening. That compassionate de-growth just might ease the pain. That 1.5 is long gone. That water and food resources will just get scarcer and more expensive. That ocean warming and acidification are locked in. That farms have lost their topsoil. That seas will rise. That a hungry man will kill another for his food. That the exponential growth or decline of what we currently take for granted will make today a dream from the past in a few years. That anyone who can access this video is by definition a major part of the problem......
HORSESHIT. We did this, we can fix it. 300 helium bed atomic piles on the coastlines, cracking seawater into hydrogen, feeding the grid, and capturing CARBON, returning the Keeling Curve to where is SHOULD be. All within a generation, 20 years. We can fucking DO this.
You want to see a real Mad Max world? End fossil fuels.
Where can we watch the documentary online if we can't get to a screening? Happy to pay for it.
Hi ya! We are going to do online screenings as well. Best to sign up at www.theoilmachine.org/updates so we can notify you.
نعم، شكرا جزيلا على هذا الخوار المفيد و الشيق مع الأستاذ كيفن أندرسون، الذي ألقى الضوء في نهاية المطاف على أن ظاهرة التغيرات المناخية التي لا يمكن فصلها عن أسلوب الحياة المتبع لحد الآن سواء على المستوى الفردي او الجماعي. المطلوب الآن و بصفة استعجالية هو إيقاف مسلسل التدهور البيئي بتغيير الإقتصاد، الثقافة و نظرتنا إلى العالم من حولنا. اي باختصار و كما جاء على لسان الأستاذ انديرسون، المطلوب في العمق هو تغيير البراديغمات و النماذج التي سار عليها الإقتصاد الرأسمالي المتداعي للانهيار مخلفا وراءه الرماد...
With a still-expanding world population that is increasing at the rate of 200,000 per day, and with CO2 emissions rising in a linear fashion along with population growth, I don't think energy efficiency will address the problem of impending climate collapse. Also, is the professor aware of the aerosol masking effect (also known as the McPherson paradox), which places humanity in a double bind based on the fact that aerosolized particles from fossil fuel emissions are actually helping to keep runaway climate change in check?
Oh re masking is no problem. If we could stop the burning and put real time measurements of the this mask you speak of I didn't know Mc Peterson I used to follow until he cut off comments he didn't want criticism or challenged on his one sided views right or wrong with out criticism it's like there is something not right about what he's saying or someone's just so full of him self he can't stand being called out . And no Mr Pearson it's not me but Dann you depressed a lot if people how many just jumped off a cliff
1.5..........LOL
2.0.........ALREADY PAST IT
just ask dr. Andrew Glickson
3.0. Ha!
P.S. I'm an optimist
Why this discrepancy between the 1.1°C-1.2°C warming Anderson cites and the 2+°C Glikson mentions? Also, the Arctic is already warming at a rate four times higher than the rest of the globe.
Dr glickson has a book that he wrote recently it's called The Event Horizon it is well worth reading this guy's been around a long time he is a paleoclimatologist that's a big word for me but I've listened to several of his interviews and I have read parts of the book.
Perhaps the difference in temperatures is people talk about average temperatures they talk about sea surface temperatures they talk about land surface temperatures also. We live on land of course, and Dr guy McPherson points out that the number is not that important. What is important is how the climate is affecting us. Wildfires droughts Rivers drying up crazy temperatures in the Arctic and in Antarctica. Another worthwhile scientists to listen to is Jason Box, he is a Greenland expert. If you have time to there is a expert in Antarctica his name is Dr Eric Rignot.
Food, of course, good for you, food will be harder to come by.
We are putting up a green house very soon, canning and preserving will be important
Thank you for the thumbs up!!
Geoegineing is the greatest tragedy to the clement and all life on earth.
That includes my brother Biologist. It is driving the activists and scientists
There won't be anything after the oil machine. There are too many humans on the planet to make a difference at this point. Will we be changing the baseline next year so that the real temperature rise stays unknown?
You can't blame a single event on climate change - true and a very simple concept. You also can't blame a single case of lung cancer on smoking. It doesn't mean harmful actions are free from harmful results.
Wait / what
How about having schools teaching jobs in renewable energy & different Ag policy?
How about getting businesses to switch output?
Talk with government to help the transition?
Have electric grid make changes to accept rooftop solar w/storage?
Would you endorse that?
Cost? Zero.
Tom Nelson makes this science belief problematic.

Thanks for showing me which channel I want nothing to do with.
Why is that, Ronald?
@@sonjahenrici I'm already very familiar with Anderson's views. He's wrong on every issue I've heard about.

@@janklaas6885 INdeed, you, and the others, are the great fools of our time.

your not even a fool, your a retard too 😃
Anderson states that severity of weather events in worsening. Yet look at hurricanes - the MOST severe of weather events. The pacific basin is down, while the Atlantic basin is in a cyclical EO surge in numbers. But 2023 has been an average hurricane season, despite all the caterwauling and media hype. Thus, Anderson is wrong.
This is all a waste of time. In order to turn this around we need to deindustrialise and give up expanding economies. Personally, I am working on my flexibility so that I can kiss my ass good-bye.
