This video is part of a series about climate change supported by Breakthrough Energy - a coalition founded by Bill Gates, that is working to expand clean-energy investment and support the innovations that will lead the world to net-zero carbon emissions.
www.gatesnotes.com/Climate-an...
Climate Change is just too much. There is never any good news. Only graphs that get more and more red and angry. Almost every year breaks some horrible record, from the harshest heat waves to the most rapid Glacier melt. It’s endless and relentless.
We have known for decades that rapid Climate Change is being caused by the release of Greenhouse Gases. But instead of reducing them, in 2019 the world was emitting 50% more CO2 than in the year 2000. And emissions are still rising. Why is that? Why is it so hard to just stop emitting these gases?

Ok so I'm going to guess that they're a few oil companies in that top 100. You can't run a modern economy without oil, including the feeding the population part. Without oil you have one modern agriculture and the vast majority of people starves. Is that a viable solution? Saying things like "but the top 100 companies" is counter productive because it's too big, ill-defined and you can't disentangle the parts we could make positive change from the parts we need to live.

@Opossum_queen 2 года назад

it may sound morbid, but the covid-19 crisis... kinda (numbers not very much not so clear) helped the number to stop growing for a while.. The shit still rising up and the effects the constant pumping of co2 have started to show, (which in effect, it also gave some motivation to some companies, not great but better late than ever i guess.) but yes, as morbid as it sound, the pandemic gave us just a bit of time. . Two new variants called "lambda" and the stupid but cleverly named "Delta plus" just showed up in the world, which that it still could help us in some way despite still being a tragedy.. But that doesn't mean that we need to depend on these virus to take the people out, we still need to act out before the population starts rising up again (which, yeah it will rise up sooner or later.) and pressure the companies to act faster..

@Sciencerely 3 года назад

As a biomedical researcher I have recently read about research which tries to combat plastic waste pollution through directed evolution. Directed evolution is a process where proteins are changed in the laboratory over and over again to become much more efficient to do certain things. In this case, scientists are trying to make PET-digesting enzymes more effective in digesting plastic waste and they are actually quite successful (I'm planning a video about that if you are interested). Although this is only a tiny part of the overall solution, I think that innovative research might save us from the current climate change crisis!

@ThaFlowzer 3 года назад

Yeah i read that too. This might be more of a curse than a blessing however. Plastics are used extremely commonly exactly because it does not get degraded by bacteria. If this would not be the case plastic might become far less useful, imagine your computer or telephone falling apart and those are just small things. It might not be smart playing god with evolution.

@everythingmatters6308 2 года назад

Bees and butterflies are in a lot of trouble. If you dig up some lawn in a sunny area and replace with flowers that would help them a lot. I recommend butterfly bush, butterfly weed, swamp milkweed, coneflower, black eyed Susan, zinnias, yarrow, sedum, spirea, fennel, dill, and parsley. A year ago, I put in a 50 gallon preformed pond ($50 at Menards) and put in a few pond plants (water lily, water iris, and water lettuce). It has attracted birds, frogs, lizards, and dragonflies. No pump or filter is needed. I do have to bail out mosquitoes larva, but that is quick and easy. If you buy seeds for birdhouse gourds you can grow and make your own birdhouses. Just punch a hole for the birds to get in and shake out the seeds, punch some small drainage holes at the bottom, and punch holes at the top to run wire or string through to hang. If you have a chain link fence in a sunny area, I recommend growing trailing blackberries. You can buy one plant and the root system will spread and you will have several more plants in two years. The bees love the flowers.

As soon as the permafrost in Alaska and Siberia started melting, it was too late. At that point, even if we stopped all CO2 emissions. Stopped all the cars, trains, ships, non-renewable power plants, it was too late. From that point on, we had to start pulling more CO2 from the air than we add to it. That was 5 years ago and we have done nothing to reduce the amount of C02 added to the atmosphere to negative values. Is it too late? It's many years too late and politicians have no desire to upset their pay masters.

I want to point out that when people find ways to use energy more efficiently it often leads to throwing out older, less energy-efficient products. Both the manufacture of the new products and the transportation of the older products are carbon-intensive. A huge carbon expense that needs to be addressed is that of product processing. If I went to the store and bought canned fruit, they often say that they're grown in a South American country, but packaged in an East Asian country (usually China). Let's say they're from Venezuela - they go over 25000 miles, and over 3 months on the ship. It'd be FAR more efficient in terms of fuel and carbon to pack them in a nearby area.

So we need to find new ways of enjoying live without consuming new things all the time. 2) There are real people suffering from climate change. It's not a concept but a real problem, leaving small farmers families hungry because they can harvest less food and so on. As long as we see the climate change as a theoretical problem and not something that actually causes harm to people that are worth as much as we are there won't be a lot of changes made.

Idk know what X, Y, and Z are, but I do know that most ways people have come up with for solving climate change are too ham-fisted. We can not change our methods of transportation and power generation in a day nor in generations. Hell, we still can't generate green power efficiently. Solar only gets 1% of the energy it absorbs turned into power, Hydro (which one would think would be easy to implement) can cause massive ecological damage (and isn't that what we are trying to solve at the end of the day?), Wind can't generate enough power to effectively replace our current system, and Nuclear scares the hell out of people and still develops waste that is radioactive (which causes ecological damage). Personally, I believe that if we invest into making new technology to solve the problem. For example, our batteries store next to no energy for what seems like no length of time. If we made a battery the size of a Phone battery that could last a year we would be able to half our need for fossil fuels. Also if we made ways of generating nuclear power that eats its own waste so that we do not need to worry about the radioactive waste (because it is another process's fuel). I do agree we can right now do things better, but isn't that true for everything? And haven't we done lots better today than 30 years ago? We have moved from coal to natural gas which has slashed our emissions by a load. We have an active effort to reuse and recycle things rather than just throwing them away. So in short, I think you are cutting humanity short on how well we have done with climate change, which while not the best and is still a problem, is notably less than it was 30 years ago.

If it was that easy even the worst of world leaders would have done it by now. You got to look for what is tying their hands. How would going 100% green with our current tech affect the common citizen? How would it affect common citizens if we went to only electric cars or no cars at all? can we even afford to put enough new green factories up to off set our lost power? Stuff like that.

Nice video I liked the direct and indirect effects. Also appreciate the outlook on action. This is one of the hardest paradigms I struggle with. For example the simplest way would be to tax things like you said (make carbon more expensive). But this could also implicate innovation and lead to less freedom. If we really trust the public to improve welfare through innovation, governments should be doing more to train and educate the next generation of people to do just that. Simply taxing carbon and limiting freedom is a waste of resources and importantly will not lead to welfare gains.

It's just consumerism blaming the people for their byproduct. They emit so much more so let's stop buying from them and just reduce their footprint. Or we can regulate and stop them from being a business all together. Gas powered is just forced on us to keep those in power rich. We wanna have people trade in their car for a replacement that is modern and highly invested in keeping it green. The gov can work with car companies and have them scrap and recycle all those cars for new cars.

Nuclear power plants are the better solution as long as no one explodes. And even if you are lucky and no one explodes you have the toxic waste for million years. Thats incredible.

@a-drewg1716 3 года назад

@@smarty1312 nuclear waste is minuscule compared to the waste generated by all other means of energy production INCLUDING solar and wind which generate a ton of dangerous waste during their manufacturing process. Plus the nuclear waste can be reused. Of-course with diminishing returns but with more funds put into nuclear energy means more research which means more and more of the fuel gets used meaning the nuclear waste becomes less harmful every time. I mean theoretically you could reduce nuclear waste to hydrogen by splitting an atom to the smallest possible thing but of-course every time it gets smaller the more energy it takes to split it and the less energy to get out of it but still.

@MisterYoda15 3 года назад

Fun contradicting fact: Burning waste in facilities designed for it actually reduces carbon emissions indirectly. Think of it this way. There are a few reasons for this, first they have special filters in the chimneys to remove all that nasty SO2, NO2, NO and other greenhouse gases that have a much greater impact on global warming. Another thing is that these plants can and should be designed for energy reclaim, meaning they save some energy we would normally waste when we just yeet the "garbage" on to a landfill, therefore reducing the need for burning coal or gas. Furthermore, the waste we throw on landfills gets decomposed and turned into CH4 which is also a much higher impact greenhouse gas and even though you can put pipes to collect it, much of it is wasted before a high enough concentration is achieved to be viable enough for use. This means they let the natural gas(CH4) escape through the pipes in the atmosphere for the first few months before they get to those sweeet few months for use in power generation and then again letting it loose. Source: I finished my bachelor in Environmental Engineering in Zagreb, Croatia. Hope you enjoyed ;D Edit: I hope I am not the only one that writes bacchelor with 2 c's in it... Added some more info about landfill gas reclamation. Edit 2: People: We need to reduce carbon emissions. Engineers: Lets build specialised buildings to make use of waste. People: EEEEEEEEWWWWWWW, THAT SMELLS... HELL NO! Engineers: But...but... People: Nah fam, aint having that near my house. Engineers: Do nothing. Global warming continues.
