Take action on climate change at .
“Nature reveals itself to us in unique ways, if we stop and look at the world through a window of time,” says photographer Stephen Wilkes. Using a special photographic technique that reveals how a scene changes from day to night in a single image, Wilkes exposes the Earth’s beautiful complexity and the impacts of climate change — from the disruption of flamingo migrations in Africa to the threat of melting ice — with unprecedented force.
This talk was part of the Countdown Global Launch on 10.10.2020. (Watch the full event here: .) Countdown is TED’s global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world. Get involved at

This would have been a ted talk that captured the world, inspired the population, lifted us up to heights never experienced… if it had had anything to do with 24 hours on Earth — in one image. that is not what it is, and i hope to see something less deceptive in the future. there are 1000 documentaries you can watch, thousands of hours already spoken and recorded on these points… not a ted talk

*2% of Global Energy is Solar & Wind + 4% of Mammals are Wild *
50% of humaity will be water stressed by 2025
50% of thermal & hydro electric power will soon be water stressed
40% of coal power is now water stressed, and so will 30% of planned hyrdo power
North Euro offshore wind works 30% of the time, onshore works 22%, and solar 11%
80% of energy is fossil and 20% is electric of which 4% is renewable 2% solar & wind
2% of global energy is solar and wind after 20 years trying
By 2040, 15% of global energy will be renewable, with 28% by 2050
Most solar panels will be un-recyclable toxic waste growing at 6 million tons/yr by 2050
Europe burns 80% of wood pellets, and 80% of its recycled plastic/paper for electricity
Trees grow faster and die younger with increasing temps droughts & fire
Amazon tree farms take 30 yrs to recoup 10% the Amazon’s lost trees
Overseas forests are clear cut & burned for 50% of Europe’s renewable electricity
Palm and soy grown in the tropics are shipped to Europe to burn in diesels
Europe burns 50% of its palm oil cargo in diesel engines
Batteries and bio-energy will wipe out tropical habitat for humans and wildlife
4% of mammals are wild and battery/bio-energy extraction will kill them off
The UN failed all 20 bio-diversity pledges from 10 years ago
There have been 25 UN Climate COPS and 15 Bio-diversity COPS
There were 1.5 billion flights in 2019
Earth is heating 46% faster than 50 years ago
Oceans take 89% of heat air takes 1%
There’s less rain and more storms, what old people call hard rain
Ozone destroying green house gases increase every year
Nitrous oxide eats the ozone and is the 3rd biggest greenhouse gas
Abrupt permafrost deep soil carbon and nitrous oxide loss is not modelled
350 ppm CO2 will not cool eath
We must cut energy use 50% in 10 yrs to stay under 1.5 C
This never happened in history, and will never happen in the future
People who are smarter and older than you don’t want you to know this
Batteries and bio-energy will not reduce earth’s heat imbalance in time, and will wipe out tribes and wildlife
Jets are 68% more efficient, and fly 60X more people over 60 years
There were 1.5 billion flights in 2019, and only 6 million out of 1.2 billion vehicles are electric
Petrochemical demand grew 7X human population for 20 years
EVs, batteries, bio-energy and solar/wind will not stop runaway hothouse mass extinction
If you want credible sources go to Loki’s Revenge blog because I don’t want your love or money
The first rule of Loki’s Revenge is that nobody talk about Loki’s Revenge

Fighting for it or trying to control it. Live in Harmony with and stop trying to blame others and honestly do your part. Stop politicizing and do the research. Stop the lies. I’m over 50 and have been scammed from 5th grade on, ice age was coming lol. I still did my part.
Recycling, I did the research but still participated bc I thought it was a great community effort that will keep people motivated.
But the science and the numbers are fact, transporting, processing and reusing causes more man made environment problems ..
Think before we do, let’s not waste our time going off in a wrong direction, fracking is even better then we, people who research, thought ..
Stop the scam!!!

Why all the words? Why all the chatter? To my eyes, this is a fail on an almost epic scale. 24 hours on Earth, in one image. No chatter. That would’ve been exquisite. Instead, this plays like a Grade 9 class project.
