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.

The Real Supremacist are of all colors and control the majority shares ownership of everything corporate that matters and including the majority shares ownership of all Networks in the 4 Branches of Corporate INFLUENCE (news, social, entertainment, search) and the manufactures of devices and medium to access all information that is not deemed conspiracy theory by the Ultra Wealthy the Global Agenda Conspirators. The lockdown was used to separate us into global corporate government owned essential assets or nonessential liabilities. Eventually abortion will be legal at any age and the question will be asked, is it resilient and sustainable to keep this nonessential liability, to healthcare as a human right linked to carbon footprint, alive? Could be your parents, your son, your daughter, your spouse, or even you.

I also have the feeling of confusion: how to go on with my life while the world is collapsing? What can I do as an individual to contribute for solutions? How I get rid of this incredible guilt I was programed to feel. This was a great talk. Thanks so much!

Havnt watched the talk yet. But don’t feel guilty. Learn to grow a bit in the garden. Plant a few trees. Teach kids to balance money be level headed and don’t liter. Small changes can make great movement. This is my issue with climate change. I don’t need to be an environmentalist activist. To make simple changes. And I would actually argue the reason for the ethnicity of climate activists. Has more to do with the fact that Klaus schwab is the one that decided they could make money off of this. And he targeted rich white people. And I hate using ethnicity in a word. I’m a firm believer in MLK and I follow a rule that Morgan Freeman promotes. One of the most effective ways to squash what little racism is left is don’t use it. We’re Americans we don’t need to add the color of our skin to our names. It perpetuates racism. It doesn’t fight it all. Nigeria has many issues but isn’t a top polluter. If you thought so you weren’t paying attention to their issues. Recycling is great. But what’s greater. Is using normal products and not ones like electric cars. If you look up the process of how to recycle that. You’ll be pretty abhorred. I do agree to grass root movements I just think the issues do not to be climate change. The Wef and globalism is rampant and most people very much in the US. Don’t even believe they exist. They think it’s conspiracy theory.

Literally quit believing this crap.
Most all emissions are coming from 3rd world countries. You “going green” is just for personal moral superiority complex, literally does nothing. Western women have actually done the best at reducing emissions by killing their fertility rates and offspring. Almost too effective that now we have to import cheap labor, not enough worker drones!

@Elvy Tan I worry less about climate change then where the billions of dollars people donated to it went. I actually know why we have migrants pouring over the Anerican border. That seems a question no one bothers to ask. And not very smart of them. I think all the powers need to be checked after we deal wish idk like 5 wars that are trying to start. People are so distracted about the problem in Ukraine. Their being a little deaf and blind.

@Marcela these feelings are all totally normal and human reactions to understanding the urgency of the climate crisis. Know that you aren’t alone in feeling this way, I feel it too and thousands of others do as well. For me the best way to channel that is to take action, whether joining a local climate group or simply writing an email to your local elected official expressing your feelings. It’s really hard sometimes and that’s okay, but we can’t allow ourselves to become paralysed by the weight of it all because that’s what the fossil fuel companies want 🙏 💚

The climate change scam is being used as the trojan horse to usher in Agenda 2030 and the Great Reset. Covert Geoenginering operations are the real culprit behind earths altering climate systems.
The climate change debate is not about science. It is an effort to impose political and economic controls on the population by the elite. The threat of environmental crisis will be the international disaster key’ that will unlock the New World Order.

Does China not contribute to 95% of the damage done by global warming? If so, everything we do is clearly insignificant.

the US is still the highest per-capita polluter on the planet. What we Americans do is definitely significant.
Edit: “contribute to” and a definite figure of 95% do not equate in the same sentence. Every country “contributes to” anthropogenic global warming.

Absolutly not! The majority of their emissions from producing products WE (assuming you’re living in the west as your name suggests) consume; all your gadgets and clothes and creature comforts. Its easy to sit back and blame others, but if you’re living in the 1st world and not in abject poverty you are one of the main contributers to the climate crisis, simply put the richer you are the more you are a culprit. Of course we are nothing compared to billionare CEOs of oil companies, but still, we’re their target audience and most of the time willingly buy into their schemes.

What do you guys perceive to be the root link between environmental degradation and racism/colonialism/capitalism etc?
I think it has to do with an egocentric desire for the culturally convinced concept of wealth and superior well-being, which is realized through systems of development (like capitalist industry)

quite entertaining that TED uploads videos about climate change while also platforming one of the biggest individual culprits of climate change in Elon Musk. TED is slowly taking the same route as many former institutions have, selling out their morals for money. You would think an outlet which prides itself on championing factual education would find itself at a cross-roads with a pathological liar billionaire, yet out of any individual, Musk has featured on this channel more than anyone else. Take a long hard look at yourself TED, and decide on which side of history you’d like your institution written about.

Don’t buy into the pressure of an eminent disaster. What big egos we have to,think we can turn a battleship around by throwing money at it. The world will take care of itself and while China and India are polluting up a storm, there’s no way to solve the “problem”. Just find out who’s getting rich from this and you’ll see what it’s all about. As far as the UN, they’re the most corrupt, most heavily political, most unbearable and top heavy bureaucracy ever invented.

Awesome presentation. The anger and passion are needed for this issue to be forefront in the minds of those in power. Greta voiced her anger as a young white girl. A middle aged black male is tobe taken as seriously. Who will be next to voice there anger with the current ‘system’?

If you really had the right answer, we wouldn’t be in this situation. The right answer is money and how to compensate all the other companies that make money currently with fossil fuels.
Unless you really have all that money to make people rich without causing inflation, there is no solution.
