A New Social Contract for Global Climate Justice | Huma Yusuf | TED
Pakistan contributes less than one percent to the global greenhouse gas emissions perpetrating climate change, yet one-third of the country was recently inundated with “biblical” floods that killed hundreds and displaced millions. If we’re to move towards a sustainable future in the wake of such tragedies, the response will require more than just infrastructure repairs…

To End Extreme Poverty, Give Cash — Not Advice | Rory Stewart | TED
Are traditional philanthropy efforts actually taking money from the poor? Former UK Member of Parliament Rory Stewart breaks down why many global development projects waste money on programs that don’t work. He advocates for a radical reversal rooted in evidence: giving unconditional cash transfers directly to those in need, a method that could unlock the…

Dots connected. Using the Haber system allows 10x production of food per acre of soil. Fast forward 100+ years, we’ve increased world population exponentially. Good for profit though, so we WON’T be hearing any solutions that suggested that we even consider slowing that train. You don’t “come back” from environmental disaster by getting cash to rebuild. How does that slow the flooding? Good luck. In the meantime, move to higher ground? Idk…..but, I want a check too

Honestly, I’m a little bit shocked of all those comments here.
First of all, I think the woman’s talk was really good and interesting.
Because of this I can’t really understand the position of many people here.
I have often read that money can’t be given to developing countrys like Pakistan because there is so much corruption. That’s partly true – the woman also mentioned. But is this really a reason not to help those people? And let them suffer? Where is the humanity? I don’t say you should transfer money to the government without any control of its use. Avoiding those aids to be abused isn’t that easy – but is this a reason not to help?
Secondly, many said that Western countrys also support development countrys financially. That’s true. But is this enough? Are some million dollar per year compared to wasting our atmosphere for 150 years? Isn’t it rather ridiculous that some years ago, development countrys were promised 100 billion dollar per year – and the western countrys haven’t kept it? Recently, during COP21, this aim of 100 billion per year was confirmed again. Will it have any effect? I don’t know.
In my opinion it’s completely injustice that poor countrys have to pay the bill of the economic growth in the industrialized world – without having any advantage of this growth. The people in those countrys still live in poverty and now, they have to suffer even further because of our wealth.
Climate justice is due!
Thank you for reading. 😃

October 28, 2022 at 9:37 pm
@Zachary Sielck I apparently know more about chemistry than you.
plants love CO2. It’s what they use to build themselves. The plant life on earth is loving this CO2 so much that the earth is becoming measurably greener. The majority of these green house gasses are produced by geological activity like volcanoes anyway. I don’t think human kind causes enough of this punish people who are just trying to live. If you look at ice core records, we are still not at average temperature. The sun goes through cycles that increase it’s activity and we are going into solar maximum now. Mars is going through a “global warming” event too. Look it up, genius
chadnuts
October 28, 2022 at 9:45 pm
@Zachary Sielck BTW, that is not how global warming works…
Greenhouse gases act more like a “mirror” that reflects the sun’s radiation that is dissipated from the Earth’s surface. It keeps the radiation that comes from the sun from radiating through the atmosphere and into space.
Zachary Sielck
October 29, 2022 at 12:16 am
@chadnuts I checked my work. “In order for molecular vibrations to absorb IR energy, the vibrational motions must change the dipole moment of the molecule. All molecules with three or more atoms meet this criterion and are IR absorbers.” I.E. C02 & CH4 are susceptible to valence excitation which increases the average motion of the molecule(heat goes up). So the greenhouse effect happens because less energy escapes the atmosphere & is absorbed more. There is probably more reflection as well, but the absorption is what raises temperatures.
Zachary Sielck
October 29, 2022 at 12:19 am
@chadnuts Ice cores give us an average over long periods of time. They do not have very good precision. I agree that these temperature swings are likely common. I argue that our ice core dating tech is not as accurate as we want to believe. What does rapid, brief melting do to the data? It probably doesn’t do a whole lot, but may mislead scientists. Carbon dating can be misleading or inaccurate has been wrong plenty of times before.

Joshua MacDonald

I agree 100%. Unfortunately some countries are are not only hesitant and even against fixing pollution problems but when they do rather then making good financial decisions in order to make positive changes they do a half ignorant job making extramy poor decisions about how to make this change that creates disparity in their own countries. I am in Canada and I support the carbon tax but what few outside people see is we have more and more displaced people, more and more people falling under the poverty line. People who have been paying attention have noticed 1000x more homeless on our streets, huge jumps in inflation all the while the luxury industries seem to be profiting and doing very well. The 1% is not suffering like the rest, at most they are barely inconvenienced. This would need to be changed with real policy changers. Don’t think this is a “vote for the other guy” argument as the other guy will at best do the same thing as they have done repeatedly in the past. People worship Justin Trudeau but don’t see the damage that he has done. I will not say that he hasn’t made some good policies but has done more harm at the same time. A changing of the guard as it will would fix some of those problems while equally creating new ones. Its frustrating as there is no potential leadership that will make the commonsense fixes while at the same time maintain the good changes that have been done. All a person can do is decide for themselves to make changes at an individual level but it is quite difficult as resources are spread thin.
We feel for Pakistan and I support sending financial and other aid but we CAN do better.

Individual action can never offset the damage that multinational corporations generate on the environment and the worlds climate. It’s a liberal fantasy that me changing my behavior will do anything of value against even just say a Amazon warehouse in my city which will produce more waste day than I could make in a year.
Joshua MacDonald
October 28, 2022 at 12:45 pm
@TheEvolver311 I’m not saying it will take the place but it can add to the positive change. As long as we keep looking at ourselves as individuals not as a pice of a whole there will never be progress either way.
But you are right that it will be almost unqualifiedable in the grand scheme of things. I cant speak for other countries but in Canada no party will take on “the big boys”. If one even tries the others will it as an opportunity to attack that party and use less uducated citizens in crating discord over it blocking any real progress. And I will state again this would be true of any and all major parties (im not sure where you are or if you are in Canada but we have a decent number of political parties in our government that compete for leadership. The major 3 are the conservative, liberal and new democratic party but there are many more with elected seats)

87% of greenhouse gasses are caused by the animal agriculture industry. It is what we eat that is killing our planet. If you factor in what the animals emit, how many crops are needed to to feed all of these 80 billion animals, and all of the infrastructure and resources to make this whole thing run, and most important how much land does it take to maintain this industry. The only reason why they say we need more planets if our population grows, is because of our agriculture practices, which the biggest culprit is eating meat, dairy, fish, shellfish and eggs. This industry takes up almost half of the land mass on this planet which could be rewilded so it would capture most of our carbon in the air, but because most of our forest have been cut and burned down for animal agriculture which is the biggest driver of deforestation world wide, we now have lost most of our carbon sequestration function on this planet and this is why animal agriculture is responsible for 87% of all greenhouse gasses. Oxford researchers have said if everybody adopted a plant based lifestyle we could rewild 76% of all that farm land so we can recapture the carbon in the air.

How about we say that no company can claim to be carbon neutral or eco-friendly ( Whatever buzzword you wish to use ) unless they can show that what they produce is done so in an carbon nutral way at every step of the process.
I’m not just talking about that company or how they make their products or the materials used but also the companies they get their materials from, is the electricity used to make the product produced carbon neutral energy, is it transported by companies who also used carbon nutral energy.
This could apply to every company at every step from production to shipping etc.
Doing so would cause companies to not only become carbon neutral but those they deal with because a company won’t choose another if it doesn’t follow those rules because it would then affect them.
God i hope that makes some sense, lol!
It’s not easy to explain, for me at least!, lol!

I hope we can start more conversations on how to live a fun, meaningful life without excessive use of energy and resources.
