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.

A joy to me about climate is ,
To have the global pact on deceiving the world about transforming the climate to meet the agenda all wiped away and the climate be cleaned up from all the spraying in the skies. This life is only years, the next one will be forever. If you make it to the next life , that means you trusted the Lord Jesus instead of the globalist like this lady.

I’ll care about climate change when the wealthy of my nation quit buying up oceanside property. If they dont really see it as a problem, why should I?

Muspell

@Wobbly Trying to play an appeal to emotion doesn’t work as a retort to a logical question.
1)If climate change is a massive issue that needs to be addressed, then why do the elites of my nation act in a way that is contrary to that initial assumption? For the simple act of self-preservation, they should be reducing their climate impact. (No, a carbon tax or planting trees doesn’t suffice as a reduction) If sea levels are going to rise with global climate change, then their oceanside mansions would not be bought.
2) The same experts saying the climate change is a major concern also told me that this event was unavoidable in 2000, 2008, 2015, ect. If they have been so wrong so many times, why should I believe them now?
3) Placate your desire for your emotional/ethical/moral superiority by getting in a pod and eating the bugs. Please, do that.

“Beyond the borders of wealthy countries like the United States, in developing countries where most people in the world live, the impacts of climate change are much more deadly, from the growing desertification of Africa to the threats of rising sea levels and the submersion of small island nations.”

How am I supposed to find joy in something that only has ridiculous “solutions”? Paper straws, carrying shopping bags, recycling, solar panels, electric cars, start my own garden and that’s a fart in the wind. People used to throw their feces out the window. Somehow we’re still here. People are tired of being lectured to on this topic by politicians who fly in private jets. I’ll find joy when I’m not worried about inflation. Priorities.

The truth is you’ve got about as much chance of stopping the tides and the wind as you have of stopping climate change.
It’s going to happen just like it has happened for millennia, stop worrying about it and improvise, adapt, overcome

There are 2 types of dangerous people in the world. The first is the climate change denier, those who think that climate change isn’t real, when quite clearly it is.
The 2nd, and more dangerous type is the climate change defyer. Those who say we should electrify everything and carry on doing the same as we do now. Lets go and strip mine minerals in central china, often using forced and or child labour. Lets go and ship those minerals half way around the world. Lets expand huge amounts of energy and emit huge amounts of carbon refining those minerals into the ingredients for batteries. Lets expand even more energy and carbon into making steel bodyshells for new vehicles, that we can power with those batteries. Lets use another chunk of energy and emit yet more carbon disposing of the old vehicle that we now just throw away. And a few years down the line when there’s a new model, lets go around the loop again, consuming more and disposing of the old. This way we’ll be able to continue living our lives just as we do now, and we will defy climate change.
Guess what, it isn’t going to work.
Instead of electrifying that journey, don’t make that journey.

Solving climate change also means solving inequality, redistributing wealth, and changing our consumption habits. Most importantly, it is about changing our current policies.
What you mentioned makes sense, and that’s why she talked about transitions. We should definitely start using less fossil fuels and even build people-friendly (instead of car-friendly) infrastructures. We used to be like this in the past!
I think that the problem is you focused only on electrification in cars/ EVs as a key to solve climate change. Electrification itself, just like you explained, will not solve climate change. We need more than that. Also, focusing on electrification means investing more in renewable energy, not only in energy storage.

If you’re coming on here just to say “humans can’t change climate change” you’re sorely mistaken and the best example I can show you is the pandemic… look at what healed when we didn’t have so many gas cars on the road. When food waste went down (unfortunately because of shortages but still). When all of our garbage actually stayed in proper garbage collection areas rather than in the streets and oceans. You can’t have lived through 2020 and have ignored how the environment had a positive effect by not having these harmful pollutants everywhere. And we don’t need to be in a pandemic to continue this. Cut fossils fuels. Cut food waste. Compost. Cut out plastics in favor of biodegradable solutions. Etc. Don’t be tricked into thinking you live powerlessly in our world.

Dr. Ayana, you have laid this out wonderfully. Even just yesterday I started to build my website letting everyone know that I am a self-designated climate coach who will lead by example then teach others climate change preparedness so they can in turn become coaches. Great ideas come of their time to many of us at the same time. It feels like we have all been sitting around waiting for someone to do something about climate change but many of us are now realizing at the same time that change begins with us. I am going to use your ted talk in my coaching. Thanks and keep up the good work!
