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.

virus is just first warning, brainless politicians 2050 CO2 neutral, what a crap, till this time this old fucks will be dead already and wash their hands in innocence. If no radical changes will come, in 2050 you can make the movie Mad Max reality , VERY BIG PROBLEM METHANE IS A BIG BOMB (PERMAFROST) , every day coming 200.000 new polluters to this planet. Nobody will stop this and oil is used more and more. So take your health insurance cards, possessions, money, credit cards, language skills, diplomas and fancy titles. In 10 till 12 years you can burn it with the rest of this planet
Further to mention: rising water levels, more CO2 makes quality of food production less, climate refugees, war, extreme weather events, extinction of plants and animals (humans), oceans will change in chemical way, burning of our woods, drought, diseases, plagues, earth quakes, pressure in Earth’s crust, maybe rotation of planet, human conflicts about food and water and so on ………….

*4% OF MAMMALS ARE WILD + 4% OF ENERGY IS RENEWABLE*
We burn soy, corn and palm oil in cars, also plastic and trees for electricity. The trees come from clearcuts to plant more soy corn and trees. This is called green energy. It’s fraud for green money called carbon credits.
*Here’s what business as usual means:* Solar and wind power are 2% of total global energy use after 30 years trying . . By 2040 only 15% of global energy will be renewable . This is because electricity is only 20% of global energy use . By weight only 4% of mammals are wild ( humans & livestock = 96% ) . Emissions went up 50% in 30 yrs , up 30% in 15 years . C02 will be 500 ppm by 2040 and 600 ppm by 2050 = 2X safe limit of 300 ppm . Renewables will be only 20% of global energy by 2050, even with new solar tech — thanks to AC demand and cryptos, chargers etc.
Dams and bio-energy are ecological shitholes.
You can’t burn forests for electricity to save us from the climate.
To get 30% of energy from algae would take a country the size of Argentina.
Soy and corn are gene modded to survive the poisons that kill birds, bugs, fish, frogs & plants
Soy and corn are treated with petrochemicals and nano particles for market
Soy and corn are wrapped in gender bending containers for shipping and storage, then we eat it – get sick – and buy medicine from the same people.
There will never be a 100% green energy vegan world, ever.
Some ideas are so stupid, only intellectuals believe them.
Academic circle jerk asphyxia is the leading cause of male extinction.
See:
4% of global energy is renewable – YT, WSJ, BP 2019
4 global climate treaties failed in 30 years – Canadian Government 2018
15% of global energy will be renewable by 2040 – YT WSJ BP 2019
15% of global energy will be renewable by 2040 – CNBC IEA 2018
“To meet 20% of all global energy by 2050, the solar industry would need to install 300 to 500 GW annually over the next 30 years. Current global PV module manufacturing is 100 GW per year.”
Even without increased AC, crypto and charger demands, renewables are unfit for purpose on a global scale.
5% or even 10% per decade won’t do.
50 Reasons why wind power can not replace fossil fuels
Global scale new solar wind tech will take decades to do.
They still chug out solar panels the old fashioned way, and won’t stop until they have to. It’s the same with giant offshore epoxy wind blades. They’re worth too many millions to shut down just because it’s wrong.

TED has gone WOKE.
Man made climate change is false science. The geological evidence shows we are in a CO2 drought.
Climate change invented by CPP to give them an unfair economic advantage. China builds cheap coal burning power stations while the rest of the world purchases 90% solar panels made in China.

Fossil fuel propaganda!
CO2 last million years was from 180ppm to max 300ppm and average 220ppm and than you came and say this.
Maybe we should change your temp. to 40°C or 105F, it’s too low!
China is the world’s leading country in electricity production from renewable energy sources, with over double the generation of the second-ranking country, the United States. … China’s renewable energy sector is growing faster than its fossil fuels and nuclear power capacity.

@xj rope Plants would have bin fine without us. CO2 was stable before us at 270ppm and very long time ago before that, lowest was 180ppm 20 000 years ago and today we increased it from 275ppm to 415ppm.
Even if we stop CO2 release tomorrow it will stay hundreds of years above 400ppm.
Problem is that we humans have problem with more CO2 in air, we do not breath CO2 like plants so more CO2 in air is harmful for humans!

Kloko Loko

@xj rope China is still less CO2 intensive per person that all developed countries.
Also their renewable sector is growing much faster than fossil fuel one.
They have 50% of all electric vehicles in the world (they have public electric public buses on batteries) and they have fastest growing wind and solar sector in the world.

@xj rope
China produces the most renewable energy of any nation… it’s only slightly less than the sum of the 4 next best nations combined. It’s investment into renewables is also the most of any nation, being 45% of the total global investment.
China produces more than three times as much renewable energy as the USA, and its renewable % of energy use is 24%, compared to 15% for the USA. China, like basically the entire rest of planet Earth except for the USA, has agreed to the Paris Accords, and is on course for hitting its peak CO2 emissions 10 years ahead of its Paris Accord’s pladge.
So I have no idea what garbage you’re reading that led you to claim that China is exempt. China has been much more committed and aggressive in dealing with this issue than the USA.

@xj rope If Glacier National Park were in the Arctic, and the Park Service’s signs were somehow significant to the science, and what was happening in Glacier National Park was somehow running contrary to the scientific expectations… then a denier imbecile like you might be forgiven for laughing there.
But none of that is the case, and thus you’re a denier imbecile who’s a fool to boot.

Praying for all and hope you will help share this very important Truth from Almighty God’s Word:
“Time Has An End”
Time has an end, with much of God’s word, the Bible, to comprehend, but most won’t contend, and climate change won’t mend; Global warming is God’s final warning, as He is always in control, and He is our Weatherman (Isaiah 45, Nahum 1, Jeremiah 23….)Because of too much rebellion and sin, and wicked hearts within. (Jeremiah 7, Psalm 48, Romans 1-3…) God gave us His written word, originally in Hebrew and Greek, and called this book the Bible, to show us how to live and be; The Bible was written by holy men of old, many years ago, as God moved them through the Holy Ghost (2 Peter 1:21); And all scripture was written by inspiration of God, for us to be corrected, and reproved, by walking in His truth (2 Timothy 3:16,17); We have a most loving, and merciful God, to be praised and obeyed, from the moment we arise, til we go to sleep at night, yet much of the world won’t take heed, and go their own way; (Psalm 113:3, Ezekiel 39, Jeremiah 12, Ephesians 5, Titus 3, 2 Timothy 3….. ) He is the King of kings, LORD of lords, He is our Savior, Creator of all, but most won’t even acknowledge Him, and mock Him with much gall; We’re in the “Great Tribulation” now of Matthew 24, the LORD has opened up the seals (Revelation 5-22), so we can see truth more; In Daniel chapter 12 vs 9, God told Daniel the seals were closed til the end of time; If you study from Isaiah to the book of Malachi, hopefully you will see that this is all about the end times; Too many false gospels, signs and wonders, none have the truth, since God has allowed Satan to take his seat in the temple, and now rules, according to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 (2 Corinthians 11, Revelation 2,3, 17-22)Judgment has begun on the house of God, in 1 Peter chapter 4, God is starting with the churches, and then to many more; (Ezekiel 9, Jeremiah 25…) God is our Faith, our Baptism, our LORD, and Father of all, and only He can save, not the pope, priest, you, or me, and none can come to Him, unless He draws, and only by His mercy; (John 6:44, 10:30, Ezekiel 36, Romans 1-9, 1 Timothy 2:5, Titus 3, Ephesians 1-5…)So as the days of Noah, because of too much sin, when the floods came, and took most everyone/thing away, except for the animals on ark, and Noah’s family of eight, So shall our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ (both the same), come and destroy this earth with fire on the dreadful Judgment Day, with only a remnant saved (Isaiah 1, 10, 11, Jeremiah 23, 31, Ezekiel 6, Joel 2, Malachi 4, Romans 9, 11, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9, Revelation 11, 12, 18-22….), and He alone is the Author and Finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2);Please come soon LORD Jesus, please come soon, let Satan and sin no longer rule, for many are suffering, more and more each day, especially the children, LORD we pray; Please come soon dear LORD, please come save (Revelation 18-22)
Thank you for listening, may God bless, and keep you always!
