The Climate Change Conspiracy... Conspiracy | Anjali Appadurai | TEDxSurreySalon 

The companies should be held accountable!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video. I was turning in circles at home, worrying about my two children and the state of the planet. You brought me easy and HOPE. xx

Everyone! why? because everyone wants to be right but no one wants to do the RIGHT thing when they're wrong.

The only obligation that a corporate business has is to maximize the profits for it's shareholders. It is the shareholders that we must change.

Her informed passion so well said.

I read one of Carl Sagan's books. In that book he claims cosmologists discovered global warming. Venus is many times hotter than Earth. Cosmologists were trying to understand why. They decided the cause was carbon dioxide. They noted that Earth's carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere were rising. Cosmologists rang the global warming alarm bell. Carl Sagan was an eminent scientist, whom I trust.

It is disappointing that with such wisdom and knowledge the world gets stuck with the kind of idiots that we have in parliament.

If she is in Southern B.C., why did she not go to the Columbia Ice Field nearby at the Banf National Park. The Glacier at the Ice Field retreats since 1840. CO2 Emissions from combustion engines are blamed for the warming up of the atmosphere. Gottlieb Daimler, Karl Benz and Rudolf Diesel have invented the combustion engines only about 50 years later. QUESTION: How can this be explained?

It's going to be extremely difficult. Climate change was already noticed when we were just 1-2 billion. Now we're 8. Even if our carbon footprint would be 15% of what it was 100 years ago - without cars, electronics, travel - we'd still stay on trend. We need 8x as much mining, 8x as much furniture and heating. More, in fact, since we don't live in multi-generation cottages, and we renew and replace our homes every so often. We insulate better but also heat more. (25°C is the minimum expected in offices, malls, homes.) It all begins by shaming the Economic Growth. Which is difficult because public debt is designed with it.

Hope isn't the answer to disinformation. Correct and verified information is the answer to disinformation.

A powerful, intelligent and detailed talker. 10/10, a true professional

The solutions are so simple and do-able!

Slavery was convenient too. But we outgrew that.

But wait….mis-information is a 2-way door.

I have been hoping so long to no avail I am thinking that hope might not be the way to anything.

Powerful, PetroNationalism! Great Job.

The science is done, now its about the politics.

An intensely emotional start, but then interesting insight into various issues follows. Regrettably, policy makers and government leaders often do not make decisions in the best interests of the people and the environment. We need more people talking and asking questions, and that includes opposing voices.

The way she speaks is very hypnotizing, isn't it? Ridiculous. 0 carbon=0 life.

THE QUESTION SGOULD BE who is getting rich by solar and wind SO CALLED GREEN ENERGY. Billion have been given of the tax payers money to B with no results that are green or reliable. who is paying her ?

Very well done.

Well I just realized , adding 1 trillion tonnes of co2 to atmosphere would not just change the jet streams, it should likely disorder the electrical activity of the sky, as co2 is likely a bad conductor , where as water and moist air is better , so it’s like adding a 30 % stronger resistor or capacitor to a circuit , the capacitor, high sky , building up a bigger charge when finally released . Thus likely More violent weather .

The mournful cries of violins are about the only thing missing from this steaming pile of …

Hi Anjali, Firstly, let me say that I genuinely appreciate the passion and dedication you bring to environmental issues. Your advocacy is inspiring and undoubtedly necessary. However, I believe it's crucial to examine the broader picture when discussing climate change and the proposed solutions. I'm no fan of oil or gas, but I'm also not thrilled with the idea of windmills covering vast land masses and large-scale solar farms. While solar panels, wind turbines, and biofuels might offer solutions on a smaller scale, they come with their own set of challenges when implemented broadly. CO2 Levels Over Time: Did you know that in the last 600 million years, the average CO2 level was about 2,600 ppm-nearly seven times higher than today’s 400 ppm? Even during the Quaternary period, CO2 levels averaged around 230 ppm and peaked at about 300 ppm some 320,000 years ago. A 300 ppm increase could actually boost plant growth by about 46% across various crops. This historical perspective challenges the dire narrative around current CO2 levels and their supposed impact. Greenhouse Gas Theory Contradictions: The theory that greenhouse gases absorb energy and cause the Earth to warm contradicts the Earth's spectral radiation curve. According to Kirchman's interpretation of the Stolman law and Newton's law of cooling, the Earth should be radiating more energy, not less, if the greenhouse gas theory were valid. Additionally, thermal emission spectrometer data from the Mars Global Surveyor in 1996 shows a CO2 'bite' in Earth's spectrum, raising questions about where the blocked radiation by CO2 goes. Thermodynamics and Emissivity: The sun is the primary energy source, and Earth's temperature is determined by thermodynamic equilibrium. Humans can only alter the planet's temperature by changing its emissivity, not CO2 levels. This perspective suggests that our understanding of climate dynamics might be more complex than the current narrative acknowledges. Critique of Modern Climate Science: Many academics fail to verify their data through experiments or practical applications. The greenhouse gas theory is often used for political purposes rather than being scientifically grounded. For instance, the rate of sea level rise has not accelerated significantly over the last 110 years. Vancouver's sea level has been rising at just 0.55 millimeters per year, contrary to catastrophic predictions. Historical data also show that the Earth's temperature and CO2 levels have fluctuated naturally over millions of years. Renewable Energy Challenges: The production of solar panels, batteries, and wind turbines involves significant mining activities and generates substantial waste. Is this really the 'green' solution we’re told it is? Mining for lithium, copper, nickel, cobalt, and other minerals essential for green tech is environmentally damaging and reliant on fossil fuels. For example, the carbon footprint of electric vehicles is substantial when considering the entire lifecycle-from mining to production and disposal. Natural Climate Drivers: David Dilley argues that Earth's climate has been cooling for the past 7,000 years with short-term shifts. We’re entering a global cooling cycle expected to be noticeable by 2030. This challenges the prevailing warming narrative and suggests natural cycles play a significant role. The Earth's elliptical path around the Sun changes over a 12,000-year cycle, affecting its distance from the Sun and, consequently, climate patterns. Additionally, the Moon’s elliptical path around the Earth causes variations in gravitational pull and tidal patterns, influencing climate events like coastal flooding. Political and Economic Influences: The push for net-zero emissions laws, like those in Delaware, and mandates for electric vehicle infrastructure may face public backlash as they begin to affect daily life. Every plant on Earth grows faster today than it would have in millions of years, with the Earth gaining 18 million square kilometers of leaf cover between 1982 and 2015. This is equivalent to adding all the plants on the continental United States multiplied by two to the planet. Epistemology and Validation Theory: Kirchman’s theory of validation found an inverted causal relationship between temperature and CO2, suggesting the greenhouse gas theory is invalid. Furthermore, the production processes for generating electricity for electric vehicles (EVs) involve significant resources, including methane gas extraction through fracking, coal mining, and the manufacturing of batteries. These processes contribute to carbon emissions, challenging the notion that EVs are a cleaner alternative. Microplastics and Environmental Impact: Contrary to popular belief, many microplastics found in the ocean are natural and have been there for a long time. The volume of microplastics in the ocean is only 1% of the total ocean water and weighs less than 8% of the ocean's total weight. This perspective suggests that human contribution to the microplastics problem might not be as significant as commonly thought. Why aren’t we discussing these aspects more openly? Why does challenging the narrative often lead to being labeled a 'denier'? It’s essential to think harder and broader about these issues instead of simply blaming industry for all our woes. Governments and political agendas play significant roles, and we must critically examine their policies and motivations. Thanks again for your perspective. While I could be wrong, and we all end up facing severe environmental consequences, it’s vital to have these discussions openly and honestly. Many Blessings, J W RIDDELL

Please read, Kenneth E Boulding's poem, A Conservationist's Lament, it's as relevant now as it is when it was written in 1956.

Disinformation has greatly slowed our transition to sustainable energy. Exxon CEO recently dared us to put a price on carbon. Change is done by policy and regulations and local are regional regulations are working even if the federal level is bogged down by lobbyists.

Because we live in a democracy the economics weighs heavily on getting votes. Big money has immense power over politicians and false narratives. Putin has a stranglehold over all oil resources and economic sectors. What level of control are we under compared to Russia? How do we stop our politicians from speaking from the power and oil industries perspective? Who stopped Alberta wind expansion? The ideas and possibilities to expand green power technologies must be encouraged by our Alberta Premier not stifled.

AS always animal agriculture is the elephant in the room.

For 500 million years there has been no correlation between CO2 and temperature. What has changed? Politics. The UN funded research into finding a correlation. Notice the usual gloss over the science (everyone knows the science, right)? Straight into the politics of blame and shame. One day in the future that mother will look back and realise how we were deceived.

For changing world to better future You're welcome, "SENTENTIA OPTIMUM" waitng... It's waitng for learnig, it's waiting for spreading... The course that will inspire you...

Her job is to tell the politicians story!

Early part of this had some good content. Never mentions Solar and Battery as it is the cheapest way to product Electricity period. Costs will drive more change than her two ways out. We are in a great time where there are now good options. Options that cost alone will drive positive climate change.

Very nice lecture and it's all true , it's simple to solve the problem but it's not comforting . We have to leave consumption behind us if we want to have fresh air and water .If you take the example of Amish people you don't have to worry about climate change But the easiest way to contribute to climate change is not to have kids and you have done a lot

The Aztec calendar points to this period in the astrological position in time they calculated there would be a global scale change. Their Calendar was predicting the rapid climate change that will take place on earth caused by the alignments of planets stars galaxies calculations unmatched by even by todays computers. We must prepare ourselves not try to stop which is unstoppable like time

Listened to the first 3 minutes. Stopped to avoid throwing up at this chunderous agent of politicisation and misinformation!

The Irony is that the latest COPS summit in Dubai was led by an oil proponent. Now they are setting the agenda to slowdown quick efforts to reduce oil consumption.

Yup.

NOVA Polar Extremes Ice Worlds punch it up on YT..! Not Boring, I Promise..! Awesome Documentary..!

The entire SYSTEM itself MUST be changed in a way that put's an end to 'infinite growth on a finite planet' being the ONLY way the system can 'work', and the only possible way you COULD do that and still have a system that 'works' would be by making it financially worthwhile for people to SHARE the jobs we NEED to have done and working much less. A world where the human race is no longer working primarily FOR money but sharing in doing something we agree we NEED and getting paid to do it!!...An entirely different goal of the system.

She has not looked at long-term warming and cooling cycles of the earth. We are in a warming cycle at this point.

💚

A true Goddess.

Unfortunately, it’s too late for renewable energy to save the planet. Respected top scientist Jim Hansen and his team released a paper recently that said even with no more emissions the planet is in for a 10°C rise within about 400 years, and roughly another 2°C rise by the end of the century to 4°C. The planet has dimmed, by shrinking ice slightly reduced cloud cover. What is needed is mainly ocean cooling by Marine cloud brightening.

Is Ted Talks now the new NPR? I’ll admit the oil companies took too long to come out, but they have also been exploring and creating alternative energy and petroleum products and clean-er solutions. No matter how you FEEL, petroleum is in almost everything you possess or use. It will take DECADES to SLOWLY Transition.

Fossil fuel industry, and certain powerful and ultra rich individuals whom fund the think-tanks and misinformation.

The corporations are responsible not the average person for climate change. Ordinary people should not pay the price. I’m more than happy to do my part, but corporations need to do theirs too. I’m not saying we should wait on corporations to change, but we should not shame the average person just trying to survive. I don’t have to money for an electric vehicle. I don’t have money to buy all organic food. Right now I’m practicing harm reduction and that’s enough so I can sleep at night with a clear conscience.

BTW; petroleum is NOT a fossil fuel and definitely is not pollution.

This huge dose of hope is sadly a huge dose of hopium. We are locked in regardless - yes we can try SRM via cloud brightening, diamond dust, covering 1/3 the equatorial region with mirrors, but we do not have the tech for this, and the tech that we have 'sitting on a shelf' is not to scale. Right now, the money is on the war machine. What we can do is walk lightly - reduce our energy footprint and show love & compassion to all living things. Cheesy? Maybe, but the alternative offered here is to try to OD on hopium so we can continue BAU.

Who would trust the UN!???

It was only 10 000 years ago that you could walk from england to denmark direct. The rising sea levels would have caused an immense catastrophy to the inhabitants of the Dogger Bank. Midway. Now there is a wind farm planted into the water called the North Sea on their farm land. All caused by global warming but it was totally natural and the only solution was retreat. Man must adapt and not try to be King Canute.

The question no one wants to talk about is population, there are arguments it's not about population as we can still squeeze the worlds population on to say the land mass of Denmark. This is missing the point as if we had less then half the exciting population we would do half the amount of damage to our planet. There are to many of us and we are living to long. The wildlife around us is not living longer, we are a parasite on the earth and just like any parasite if there are to many of them the host dies. We need to discuss the population issue not just the temperature of the plant.

Beautifully said and I hope for a future, but I know that it is too late. Our time has come and gone, while we were asleep at the wheel. It is not this planet's first mass extinction, or even its second but once we are gone nature will try again, so, there will always be a future -- just not one that Humanity will be a part of, or most of the biodiversity that currently exists.

This is beautiful 🎉🎉🎉

I think No Hope... nothing changes ...

In the 1980s, scientists were looking to the next ice age, based upon core samples.

If climate change really was an issue our world leaders would've adopted a net zero approach towards wars & weapons manufacturing - Peace & diplomacy is the easiest way to swiftly reduce our footprint

You, Madam, blew more hot air in 15 minutes than 5 major oil companies combined. Most of us have lost faith in major corps, but we have also lost faith in our politicians and their approach to the problem. While we are taxed heavily to have the cleanest air in the world, please take a quick trip to east Asia, middle east and Africa to see what real pollution is. I also encourage you to investigate why north America doesnt implement a more efficient recycling policy. While you're doing that, lookup the cost on extracting precious metals to make electric vehicles. One more thing, oil isn't just for burning in cars, look around your house and see how many items are made with the by-products of oil; what is your solution for that? What and how do you suppose the clothes, shoes, jewelery, purse, phone etc are made? Now, who do you think is the true gullible puppet?

So I live in Missouri and I’m suddenly going to die because it’s 1 degree hotter over 100 years? 😂😂

She has a big kitty!

She tries to be a Martin Luther King of our days.

Save tree 🌲🌴

mild winter? depends where, come to Quebec City lol -25°C at least+ windchill hehe

so electric is a distraction.

Globally planned, regionally organized and locally executed, planetary actions.

Where is the money going

By volume, the dry air in Earth's atmosphere is about 78.08 percent nitrogen, 20.95 percent oxygen, and 0.93 percent argon, adding up to 99.96 percent. A brew of trace gases accounts for the other approximately 0.04 percent, including the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. To think that a small increase (200 parts per million in the last hundred years) of carbon dioxide would affect the weather is absurd.

John Kerry and al gore are watching this while circumnavigating the globe in their co2 jets.

QUE ES MAS PELIGROSO, LA SOBREPOBLACION QUE CONSUME ENERGIA O LA CODICIA DE LA ECONOMIA CAPITALISTA PIB. ENTRE LAS DOS HAN AUMENTADO "EL CALENTAMIENTO GLOBAL" Y LAS SEQUIAS.

We have not studied the earth's long tern natural cycles to know if we have any effect. We know there was an ice age 6000 years ago and the oceans were hundreds of feet lower. We are going the other way. The First Nations of the world picked up and moved as the oceans rose as the ice age melted. We have to move as the natural world channges.

This lady is beautiful 😍

Naw in India ant Road trafic wehicle rull BS6 level liked in ocean trafic heavy carrier sheeps heaving what Carbon emition limitation rull as per latest all Co2 emitions frome these seeping corporations doings ?

If I were her. I would bring a little evidence instead of using anecdotes.

Complete and utter B/S.

Hard to believe anyone any more. 😢

- We live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago - I have an explanation regarding the cause of the climate change and global warming, it is the travel of the universe to the deep past since May 10, 2010. Each day starting May 10, 2010 takes us 1000 years to the past of the universe. Today April 25, 2024 the state of our universe is the same as it was 5 million and 99 thousand years ago. On october 13, 2026 the state of our universe will be at the point 6 million years in the past. On june 04, 2051 the state of our universe will be at the point 15 million years in the past. On june 28, 2092 the state of our universe will be at the point 30 million years in the past. On april 02, 2147 the state of our universe will be at the point 50 million years in the past. The result is that the universe is heading back to the point where it started and today we live in the same climate as it was 5 million years ago. Mohamed BOUHAMIDA.

The climate change conspiracy conspiracy is a conspiracy 😂😂. The world has changed forever and keeps changing adapt

Winters are not getting warmer, if anything in some locations around the world, they're getting colder.

As an engineer and scientist developing climate and contingency systems, I don't know which world you're living in. Climate change is real and its happening all around us as we speak. People are dying! Back to back cyclones, hurricanes, heat waves, floods, heat domes, glaciers melting, landslides, earthquakes, volcanoes, tornados, golf sized hailstorms, pineapple express, blizzards, incessant rains, massive floods, cloud bursts, glacier bursts and landslides. Recently 9 trekkers from Bengaluru died in uttarakhand because they got stuck in a blizzard which instantly froze them to death!

Sounds like a bedtime story.

Bad scientific deductions here not to mention bad psychology of guilt trips ....accurate models ....where did ee hear that elsewhere ?....useful models ..yes.

Sad story of this young mother but ... where is her husband?

I'm writing this comment in May, 2024: I was born in WW2, so climate change will not have much time to damage my life, but I see many people born since 2,000 who are ready to vote for the candidate for America's President who denies global climate change and who has told the fossil fuel companies that he will remove antipollution regulations while reducing incentive programs for consumers to go green.

Try praying

A heap of claims but no facts to back them.

Quit talking about it. Do something All.we do is blow more hot air and co2 into the air. If we all put your money where you're mouths are and just start doing something besides look for some one to blame don't talk do something about. We're all the problem

It's been almost 20 years, where's the countries that are under water? Why are the politicians buying mansions in Martha's Vineyard? What a joke you are. 😅

Where are the oceans rising? Not anywhere Ive been.

What happens when there is a globally-coordinated campaign to incentivize (or force) farmers to produce less food? Starvation much?

Bored. Boring. Nothing is going to change if you sound like a book on tape reading chapters. Typical TedTalk.

I can't believe the number of myths this woman is peddling.

She talks politics. She does not talk science. So I am unpersuaded.

Already in the introduction this lady is talking nonsense: wildfires are not increasing, in fact they are steadily decreasing. What does increase is the amount of media-coverage of wildfires, giving people the impression wildfires are out of control (source: Bjorn Lomborg, 2023).

She talks complete bollox

Very earnest , but unfortunately more woke nonsense !!

This video contained no facts, no evidence whatsoever just more rhetoric.

This video is a choke right? This sounds like a 3rd grade speech.
