Singapore's Carbon Problem: How Far Will We Go To Save The Earth? | Climate Change: A Wicked Problem 

Fascinating! Thank you for sharing the Climate change stories Janil! I live in the Netherlands and the awareness here is heavily underrated as well. Singapore is considered very progressive and people like you do create more awareness. I do hope that climate change will be noticed more in the Netherlands and the rest of the world as well.

Since we are moving towards 6.9 million and then 10 million population,which means more cars,more trains,more congestion,more condos and high rise and more air conditioned shopping malls.....massive increase in electricity consumption.....Singapore is already one of the highest per capita electricity consumption in the world......we use three times more electricity per person on this island than Malaysia.... Anything we do is moot and for wayang only. Expect ambient temperature in Singapore to hit 36c by 2030.

Janil is such a good presenter. No wonder he keep appearing! My MP haha

Must be the quality of CNA vids that keep me coming back, as a Norwegian across the world.

Yes each of us layman can learn to be more sensible and responsible with our electricity, food and material consumption. However the largest culprits in Singapore are not covered in this video: the C-suites aka decision making team behind the revenue-generating industries: Oil and Gas, Manufacturing, Construction, Real Estate etc. They struggle with economic and environmental balance. Let's hope that our future generation get inspired by this video and grow up to become decision makers and politicians that embark on a much greener trajectory in the near future.

No wonder Janil's ward residents seldom see him, but only on TV

Gotta do away with smoking, no more burning rituals, cut the amount of private-own vehicles. That's why vehicle prices are high, road taxes, increasing tax on tobacco. Burning of paper has to be be greatly reduced. Our survival is beyond religion; beyond politics. We need to think long term.

U see the amount of plastic bags used at ntuc? I think the govt shld focus more on how to stop the usage of plastic bags

We need a real threat, like E.T. threatening to invade if we don't reduce our emissions to reach the goal, or maybe current leader threatening to nuke us all if we don't~ That'll certainly give everyone a push~ XD (It's not practical isn't it? XD Though I like the first one with aliens)

But how are you going to store the renewable energy? Lithium is an ecological problem waiting to happen. Look into Vanadium redox flow batteries.

There is already a Singapore-based solution, it's called Vechain and is being adopted globally. From tracking carbon credits, to cleaning oceans and improving supply chain management. Please do a video on that.

Blasting my air con now with the windows open to do my part for climate change =D

Everytime they use printed paper to represent data, the more I die inside.

Each individual human being living will certainly produce significant CO2 and contribute to climate changes. All the experts getting together to solve this complex problem are really having a hard time. One thing for sure if we reduce the human population drastically in a short time time can make a significant difference in reducing the severity of this problem at hand. But then how can we do it ???

In my opinion, it a huge misunderstanding when he said "nothing" @ 12:00. If every individual feels like they can't make a different, then no one will do it. We can always blame the gov for not doing better but if we as an individual don't play our part, then really nothing will change. So if everyone listens to him and feel that since we as an individual can't do much, then no one will start doing anything.

People forget there was an absolutely huge environmental campaign in the later 80s and early 90s. Nothing changed. The only way for environmental change to work is to make it cheaper to do so. It's like health food. It's important but people are still gaining weight, why? Health food is not convenient and is actually more expensive than fast food. And when it is competitive, it's discovered that the health food isn't that healthy anyway. Same with the environment. Take that towel. I bet you it was more expensive than a regular towel you get at a supermarket. They are giving you the illusion of environmentalism while jacking up the price and making more waste. Make reusability the cheaper option and you start to move in the right direction.

There's a Singapore solution right now. It's called Vechain. Carbon credits, tracking plastics, cleaning oceans. I would love to see a story on this.

This is a good documentary.

Just remember, this person is in the same organization that has all the resources & power to make the change but don't worry alright, the whole point of this programme is to trigger emotional responses just cause Janil feels like it.

Hypothetically, in a fictional scenario in a few thousand years later: A few weeks before the rise of the sea levels that will cover Singapore's land mass, the elites with their military and police will abscond with the nation's precious items, gold, silver and other valuables to other nations to live. Thus leaving the middle class and poor with little means of escape. Some of the humanitarian nations, e.g. Malaysia and other nations may deploy air and sea vehicles to ferry the refugee to safety to their nations where the refugees will sacrifice their body in exchange for the survival of themselves and/or loved ones. On the issue of Singapore drainage infrastructure that result in blockages and flash flood that harm or kill people, properties and people. Will it be possible to drill a stainless steel rust resistant O hook into the concrete ceiling of drains where a sea worthy cable is dead hooked to the O hook and the other end of the cable is a gorilla plastic wheel linked to waterproof circuitry and data sim card. How fast the plastic wheel rotates provides data on how fast the water gush through the drainage channel. The rotating of the wheel recharges the circuitry's battery. Before the battery is out, it will use the data sim to signal the engineer on its location to send team down to maintain it. The device use the data sim to communicate which drain doesn't have water gushing out to communicate potential chokepoints for human remediation. However, the devices may be subject to theft. Other issues include hard waste that may damage the device. There may be other applications for the aforementioned device. Politically, all humans play a part in the business processes. It doesn't make sense to indict the business owners of industries XYZ for their part in the environment, if consumers don't buy, then the industries XYZ don't exist. However if you empirically understand human nature and Maslow's hierarchy of needs, you know that we humans consume to survive and thrive. That's why even the governments and the scholars don't pretend to makeup a fancy word to call us other than "consumers". If X have no part to play on Earth, then it will be slowly removed from our evolution processes. All diverse players are interconnected on Earth be it humans, animals, living things, inanimate objects and the environment. Scientifically, humans are wired to think short term and more impulsively first before they can think long term. It's like the old tale where the frog in a pot of water that is beginning to boil relaxing in the calming waters until suddenly the boiling pot of water kills it. Thus to address the environment issue, one ought to start from a psychological perspective of the power players. Know that not all power players have a master's degree in psychology. If you look at the recent hundreds of years history of man, actions are taken now so future generations pay for it. If you want change, start from educating the young at childcare. It's much harder to change the minds and habits of adults. Please feedback to management.

Singapore has no carbon problem. It has an urbanization problem.

*Isaiah 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.*

Is Janil moonlighting as TV host or is he moonlighting as Member of Parliament?

You yourself drive a car to interview venues for this documentary... Are you really concern about climate or CO2 emission!

Remember you, next power bill. Thanks but non thanks

every country leade talk loud more than action when come to save earth subject. it can be safe... but human always fix issues when it happen. example : plastic issue? ban it! why not... air pollution? ban diesel and petrol vehicles , make the EV vehicle price affordable.. instead of ferari price. make this 2 simple task happen 1st. then go for the next step. if this 2 simple task cant be done, we will see this kind of video content in the next 20year

Where is the education?

Thank you minister 🙏🙏🙏 For making the sacrifice to even go under water and explain to fellow singaporeans on climate change. Hope PAP can lead us into the future post pandemic climate and beyond. US china tensions WW3 is also another existential threat for us. Next 30 years anything can happen and future is very unpredictable Hope PAP will be in power to solve all these issues so that we don't collapse by world wars and climate change.

Excuse of world leaders on measures to praise on peoples

Carbon tax

Thank you for the carbon tax to refill back the national coffer reserve.

somebody...please tell me...if the extreme hot weather melting the glacier...why the extrem cold weather can not freezing a new glacier layer...?

WHO PRO DEMOCRATS? Me from Malaysia and aware, who won HongKong election, just the lady still pop out on TV.. Democrat mean majority voters decide HongKong future since it was held during riots.. Riots indeed wrong since its causing disruption to normal lifestyle yet 90% of HK people choose changes even their normal life disrupted.. Why Hongkong people don't support Pro CHINA during election even everywhere were chaos? Your perception about riots mean what did by the govt cannot be wrong, were not the right conclusion....
