Scientist Peter Kalmus: Hurricanes, Floods & Fires of 2023 Are Just Beginning of Climate Emergency
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- As Hurricane Idalia left a wake of destruction Wednesday, President Joe Biden said, "I don't think anybody can deny the impact of the climate crisis anymore." Climate activist and scientist Peter Kalmus calls for Biden to declare a climate emergency in order to unleash the government's ability to transition away from fossil fuels. "The public just doesn't understand, in my opinion, what a deep emergency we are in," says Kalmus. "This is the merest beginning of what we're going to see in coming years." Kalmus blasts the fossil fuel industry for manipulating politics through campaign contributions, and GOP presidential candidates for misleading the public about climate science. "As a parent, as a citizen and as a scientist, I find it appalling and disgusting," declares Kalmus. "I can't mince words anymore."

The greed of a few to gain millions, will harm millions, who'll pay for it.
Time for the meek to rise up & demand they inherit an earth for their children.
It is no longer for sale, to profit a few in luxury.
A system of unlimited growth is unsustainable, all these politicians talking about the climate crisis while not mentioning the crisis of capitalism are just spouting empty phrases as they always have on this issue.
It's not capitalism , it's greed and corruption.
Yes yes and yes
Exactly the laws of physics and information theory make this explicit the Earth is finite with a finite annual information/low entropy energy budget no system of infinite growth is ever possible.
Capitalism is an extrapolation of the economics of an imperials core and thus is only possible at the expense of extracting resources from an imperial periphery through violence terror and exploitation. As history has shown time and time again the only fate for an empire that reaches its limit of easily exploitable resources is collapse since capitalism is the ultimate form of a pyramid scheme.
Everyone must be on board to contribute to do more.
Exactly. There is a complex array of underlying systemics that need to be addressed. I also would say that the word capitalism should be replaced by corporate power. All the problems with the fossile fuels industry, or the economy at large, are just going to be replicated, possibly even worse, by forciing a transition to something else without fixing what caused it in the first place. Corporate power will hijack and commodify it, as they do with everything else.
I was in high school in the 70s when Lake Erie was considered dead and LA was covered in smog, and we all understood the problem and what we needed to do. Most Americans were on board with making these changes. Very small cars were popular and electric cars had a two-year waiting period for a lease. California had built an electric highway that went up and down almost the whole state. Even Richard Nixon knew and he created the EPA, OSHA and endangered species and water acts. Nixon, a real conservative and someone who would never be called liberal, committed us to making necessary changes. Carter put solar panels on the roof of the White House. Reagan had those solar panels removed, the electric cars were all rounded up and mostly destroyed. We managed to clean up Lake Erie, but big business kicked into high gear and have been trying to keep us tied to the oil get since. It's a shame what a relatively few people have done to our country, most countries actually, and of course, the planet. These days anything you disagree with, just call it a hoax and do whatever you want. Imo, it's criminal.
In order to get your message across to people. it's going to take more then this guy complaining" people like to see research done over years from many different places, from different people! Things have become so politicizes! To point it's unwatchable.
I read Silent Spring by Rachel Carson in 1963. Now all I can say is, Sorry and good luck
Well said.
@@user-ff8vo1se8vYes, me too... Good luck to you in the remaining months.
Are you mentally challenged? You make zero sense.
It is hard to believe that everyone can’t see that we are all on this earth together and if the earth doesn’t make it, nobody is safe!
It’s hard to believe you believe climate change can be managed.
Go on Wikipedia and type in petm or paleocene-eocene thermal maximum. That is the event that was the last greenhouse-gas mass extinction event. That event killed off 60% of all biodiversity of planet Earth due to the emissions of carbon dioxide from volcanic activity. Humans emit about thirty-seven billion tons of carbon dioxide per year. Carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for 300 years. And we're meeting 100 times the rate of CO2 that caused the last greenhouse-gas mass extinction event. Humans are dumb that is leadership corporations they're stupid and dumb to threaten the entire life of all about adversity including humans

What about the apathetic people who keep voting for The politicians working for the fossil fuel.
We've known for decades these politicians were going to do anything and yet we just stayed at home and watch TV. We deserve everything we get.
100 thumbs up. Peter is on the money with every word he said.
His segment was half of what it should be. Legalized bribery is the American way of life. Great points as well.
It needed to be half of what it was. Listening this person rattle on breathlessly in his panicked shaky voice was a real downer, contrived to upset the audience.
@@johncasey1020was he supposed to act happy and excited by reporting what he knows? If people didn't have such a low IQ and short attention span it would be easier to report the data and get through to everyone how much trouble we are truly in. Maybe people would fight the corruption in the military industrial complex, government and these corporations on stopping them from completely destroying the planet. Honestly though he didn't do enough in reporting the facts. What I hate about this reporting is this scientist actually isn't really telling the whole truth. Yes fossil fuels is ruining the planet but he didn't mention the destruction of our ecosystems like cutting down forests, destruction of the oceans with chemicals, and geoengineering that is breaking down our atmosphere and biosphere by spraying chemicals. These scientists always blame burning fossil fuels but it's actually more complex than that and not as simple as they are trying to make it.
Bro said we are probably doomed. You are not better informed when you read the sentence twice.
McFascism Inc owns America - period!
@volkerengels5298 Yeah, because we are doomed. The damage is already baked in for the next 30 years. We've already surpassed 1.5 degrees... There is nothing wrong with being a realist even though the truth hurts.
About time!!I Us old timers been saying this for 50 years!!I live in Florida,been watching us sinking in South Florida,since my 20's
But man, Florida is packed to the gills with science deniers who will be denying the climate emergency as their own homes disappear under the waves...
I've been living on a boat in the Florida Keys for the last 30 years and I've been in the same two or three spots, the one I'm in now for 25 years and I have watched the water in the Florida Keys change dramatically, and its appearance and then the amount of sea life. Under my boats are used to be a white sand with sea urchins Coral heads and sea fans growing in Gin clear water. Now the bottom is covered with stirred up soft slimy mud, with the sea grass dying under a coat of algae. This is due to too many agricultural runoff product particularly from sugar plantations running into the Everglades, the backcountry and then into the Gulf of Mexico and into the Atlantic Ocean. The coral reefs in the keys have become sparse for ocean life and the coral is mostly dying. This year for the first time the water under my boat has reached over 92 degrees and the few Coral heads that are left are brilliant White after dying. People are not aware of what is going on around us. And those that are are not objecting loud enough. Fossil fuel should be left in the ground we're always going to need some for greasing the wheels of civilization. But the Burnet with impunity is planetary suicide.
@@edwardroche2480 it just hurts to see it, knowing there’s nothing we can do to change course. It’s painful.
@@vallee7966There are things we can do. But it's like pulling teeth.
We have to be persistent and not let the fossil profiteers win.
Yeah and proud of it
As an environment geologist who tried to tell everyone about the coming climate crisis for 40+ years, I agree with everything that Peter Kalmus says. He is not exaggerating. Btw, I live within 5 miles of the Mountain Valley Pipeline where they did not control erosion into streams. The burning of fossil fuels will be the death of the planet if we don't change our ways.
Overall the planet will be fine. Humans & many species of animals on the planet will be absolutely screwed.
You told us 40 years ago that another ice age was coming! 😂
Then we were going to be incinerated because of the hole in the ozone layer.
Now global boiling? 🤣
It couldn’t have anything to do with governments being fine with deforestation in Canada and Russia which they control but we need to spend money on your skewed science? 😂😂😂😂😂
Clown school is in session!
Oil executives lie and so do climate scientists to gain funding and attention.
Climate deniers and climate cryers 😢
You were wrong for 40+ years, also I don't see any nuclear power plants getting renewed or new contracts other than a few states actually doing the heavy work to keep their local grids online with little to no emissions
@@_Circus_Clapped_ What are your credentials to say I was wrong?

For their deceptive propaganda and doubt-casting, Big Fossil should pay the most to deal with the transition to green energy.
More people will be homeless poor etc when transitioning from fossils to green .

We are gambling with human life on this planet. All of the so-called "pro-life" people should have climate change as their number one issue, if they were rationally sound about caring about children who will have to go through whole new lifetimes under the worst imaginable circumstances. All of the people who carry out the work of ecocide have jobs and homes. In the name of life, in the name of freedom, let us do away with them.
Secularists who believe life on earth will end are called environmentalists.
Those who believe in Biblical end times for this world are called fanatics.
They only care about the unborn.

Thank you Peter Kalmus.
Damn, he needed a longer segment 😣
Then Ron's state of Florida suffers a devastating Hurricane after this debate. His tirade should be shown everywhere. This is what happens to people who deny reality.
Lmao, let me know when we fix this. Most countries with more people could care less about our climate tantrum
This is the ancestors we are organizing, and a period of civics civility and collaboration to protect our people. Trump will not get back into office again we need to start talking about communism. We need to warn the people that the Twitter virus allowed access to the communist the MS 365 Bill Gates system, allowed our documents to be exposed to the communist. We are going to go off grid off cloud off database secured for legal documents. We have a team of professionals from all around the world working on this and I have been working on it for years and years and years it is fixed, we need to hire 10 notaries to start off with to go either door-to-door stand on the corner, Safeway stores whatever to get the word out, we do not want our soldiers to go back over there fight the battle again and come back over the fake news, lie about their heroism and only show their mistakes.

This is so worrisome. I have completely changed my interior and garden design business to a eco friendly and sustainable business. By sourcing on a local level, being aware of how every product is made to creating gardens that are organic and include native plants, etc. Hopefully, people will wake up.
Every little thing everyone does helps. Be the first and be a good example. Thanks for proclaiming and doing your part.
What’s your business name? Where are you?
Sadly, it's almost too late for people to be waking up. I'm shocked every day how people deny, and carry on as if we're not crashing and burning at an ever increasing rate. And I am sorely unhappy with Biden's decisions on expanding pipelines and other fossil fuel projects. Talking about the climate crisis being real, but not willing to declare it as an emergency. Profit will not save these world leaders.But it's killing us first.

We need more of these interviews about the realities of climate change!!
You are 100% correct; we need to have a conversation about how our societies need to function to save lives on this unfathomably perfect and beautiful spaceship that we were so lucky to be born on and call our home. There is no other spaceship so well designed for us that we can use as a plan B home. THIS is the true global "issue" that should bind the people of the world together.

I agree with the second part of your comment. You need to get past the first part. Most of your energy probably goes to that, and that is derailing your ability to get on with what you really believe in. @@kipincharge2833
As an enthusiast of geology, astronomy, etc. I agree with Mr. Kalmus "most people don't understand what we're facing". The categorical disciplines don't even coordinate their info. Frustrating and sad 😔
Not only that they don’t understand, they don’t believe it. Even if you show them all the data, they believe it’s a hoax, they believe that scientists are lying to us. They will say that it used to be much hotter when they were children, or this summer was actually quite mild, or it’s hot because it’s summer, god is punishing nonbelievers and other nonsense. The ignorance is quite astounding and absolutely tragic!
The sky has been falling since the early 1970’s when we were going into the next ice age! 🤣
@@tomhaffly7498That tired and hackneyed line has no relevance to the current discussion of climate change.
The science of global warming has been consistent for well over a hundred years. It has been refined and improved.
It has never been disproven. And it has never needed to be substantially backtracked.
So obviously you we not alive yet to have studied the models and data from the 1960’s moving forward in time. I was and it didn’t pan out. So they changed the models. The first report from the IPCC was on track. Then it was high jacked by politicians with an agenda.
Or possibly you are not aware of the bad data and models used by the IPCC pertaining to emissions.
But you should continue to believe everything the governments are telling you.
Especially if you are Canadian! Keep cutting down trees and telling people to buy electric cars! That will fix your CO2 issue.🤣
Tom Haffy need to sniff a video explaining what 3' degree world looks like.
Key words; Non-linear, Irreversible, catastrophe.
He knows how bad it is, he knows that it is already too late to stop what’s coming to the planet.
Yes. It was in the UN report released about 2 yrs ago. One phrase I remember was “if we stopped burning fossil fuels right now, today, to zero; the climate would continue its course for another 50+ yrs.”…

I am sorry, humanity is not capable of dealing with this issue. I figured that out long ago, and that’s why I took steps to do the best I could for my family to mitigate the consequences of our actions. There are so many barriers, and we have gone too far as it is. It’s like we’ve been smoking four packs of cigarettes a day and now we have stage four lung cancer. But no one wants to believe it.
You don’t understand anything more than any other many does, and your efforts are in vain through vanity.
Yeah I know denial is the leading cause of death for many AIDS patients. Denial is the cause of death of many smoking patients. Until it's too late just like my stepdad just like my uncle. And for decades the government has been warned by scientists that the increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would overheat planet Earth humans are pushing the planet into another Hothouse mass extinction. Earth has had two greenhouse-gas mass extinction events what occurred 242 million years ago that killed off 90% of all biodiversity on planet Earth you're the second one occurred 55 million years ago that one killed off 68% of all biodiversity on planet Earth.
or, you signed up to get fooled once again
I think most people get it but they just don't care. They care about their comfort in the here and now. I've observed people don't care all that much about their own children. I know this shocks people but I know it to be true.

This is very much like the film “don’t look up”. More scientists should be covered in the news. Good job to this network, now air this kind of content everyday
I’m subscribing, this channel seems like it covers this topic a lot. Respect.
All the CO2 in the atmosphere, if compacted into a single layer of just CO2 gas, was c.2m thick for 10,000 yrs before fossil fuel burning. In the last 200yrs we increased it to over c.4m+ thick. If the earth was basketball sized the atmosphere would be the thickness of 1 layer of scotch tape.
We need to immediately implement what Guy McPherson calls Planetary Hospice.
Did you know guy McPherson went to New York in 2019 and he went to a city meeting he announced that planet Earth was involved in a mass extinction is due to the oil companies. I monitor the land surface temperatures of planet Earth and I've seen huge changes in the short 10 to 15 year time. That's a blink of a second in Earth time normally greenhouse-gas Extinction events take anywhere from 10000 to 20000 years to occur humans have accelerated that by 100 times and did it in 270 years

Agree a 💯
I also believe that the public is not only not aware but lacks interest in knowing; even when signs are visible in surroundings. May be a louder and persistent alarm would help- esp scientists telling facts and projections like you mentioned information on what to expect by 2025-2030…
Second; from what I have heard- wind, solar, EVs are not green. India has already started reporting on EV waste issues.
Third - public needs to know the real feasible alternatives. Going from one mistake to another can be very detrimental, that is fossil fuels to battery waste and increased mining etc
If going back to simpler ways is the only option then public needs to know that. Additionally it seems like going back to walkable cities, bikes, bike rickshaws seems anti-progress but it really isn’t if it’s the lowest carbon lifestyle. That’s a message we all need to be on same page with. The only way to cut down on carbon footprint 👣 is to reduce demand and dependency on the same. Unless there is science to remove excess carbon and stop the damage.

The president is still but a small part, the Senate and House of Representatives must write the legislation passed legislation and get it to the president's desk.

The Democratic Party, the GOP, and the oil industry were aligned on the importance of addressing climate change back in the 70s, but when they realized that they could just “deny” and the public would happily lap up the denial propaganda while they rake in obscene profits our fate was sealed.
This may very well be THE most important report currently. I wish this was on more news stations but of course I myself don't watch those so... But it's a climate emergency that those of us who have been paying attention have been mortified with. The way things are accelerating is frightening. Biden as well as many governments continue to talk out the sides of their mouths, while marching on to approve fossil fuel projects. I don't know what it will take! Making goals to reduce use of fossil fuels ten years out...its infuriating and just feels hopeless.
Far from being sceptical, since the late 70s, I have been increasingly certain that, unless meaningful action was taken, we humans were putting the environment that supports us on a road to ruin. Since no meaningful action has been taken, we are on our way. We went past the tipping balance, as people like to call the tangle of feedback loops that is our climate, years ago and we still have not acted. It’s always been profit before people, and that has to stop. It doesn’t matter how much money you have, if your whole planet is a desert.
My heart is broken, too, Peter.
It's not just about ditching fossil fuels but ensuring modern alternatives don't pivot on those whom built the old world we also need to move away from the individual and more towards a family dynamic to reduce consumption
My sudden increased perspiration is mortifying, I never in my life felt like I can’t walk in daylight. 🥵
maybe get healthy?
It's not so hard to understand why the real response from politicians etc is the very opposite of what it should be. Simply put: The social system of wage labour and capital has a single immutable dynamic - the accumulation of capital.
You know I can understand these young people that don't know s*** because they've been hiding in their video games the last 30 years but you're an old lady you know the hurricanes have existed since the dawn of time. These things are seasonal. I remember one year we had seven hurricanes go through Florida.
There is a lawsuit that’s been brought by a group of young environmentalists that have sued the state of montana because of destroying the quality of air for the next generation. Will there be more lawsuits like these?
Yeah New York try to sue Exxon but unfortunately the judge favored Exxon
More coverage of climate change, please!!
Great last question Nermeen. No one will answer it, except by saying that renewables will save us. If the guest cares about his children, what about everyone else's children. We agree that fossil fuels and human behavior caused it, but without a replacement, what will be the consequences of leaving it in the ground.
3:00 could be one of those situations where we have to show the assholes how they personally benefit, how they can make money or increase their property values -then we have to find a way for it to look like it’s their idea -- kind of like a participation award 😂
bet you're the smartest guy in the room everywhere you go.
That schoolchildren remark by Ron DeSantis shows the utter contempt Republican politicians view young people under 30, even their own young adults who are members of Young America.
I agree with the message being delivered by Kalmus.
No more subsidies for fossil fuel companies. They should be helping with clean up and rebuilding for lying to the public about the very real dangers of burning fossil fuels.
thank you, Peter.
The sad thing is that everything he said we already,,,shamefully already know.
It isn't just fossil fuels and the companies that extract them. It is actually ecological overshoot.
No it is actually just fossil fuels
And the Easter Islanders cut down their last tree. Civilizations are self-limiting. Only tribes are sustainable in the long term.
Peter is one of the Best Climate Scientists!
I find barbaric that We know all these Facts and there’s no change. We cant Do this? Do We Really need A.I. to take over?
That’s why disingenuous politicians are so against AI.
You have no facts. All you have is lies and manipulated data.
What makes you think a hypothetical "AI takeover" would be beneficial to the improvement of climate change?? An AI would likely want to heighten it's influence and that takes resources.
At the rate it's advancing, A.I. will produce robots to take care of its needs.@@JohnDoe-qz1ql
A.I. will be able to exist without humans. No need for it to change anything for its purposes
Or- the time honored tradition of easy-to-make napalm?
Why are there benzenes in the water in Kula? Not just Lahaina.
A Lahaina resident who goes by "all good things..xxx"(can't remember his full screen name) has very good footage from the beginning of the fire. He shows the historical prison. The wood roof has a literal hole in it. Looks bombed.
I don't know for sure- it's speculation on all of this. Obviously, many of us are going on intuition and historical evidence of the propensity for power structures to go ballistic on their own people in the name of power, control and riches.
Keep 'em coming Eric! It's starting a good discourse between people. Mahalo & Aloha!! 🤙💖🌺⭐️🙏
It's refreshing that Alexander Diaz, as an apparent republican, expressed views and concerns about climate change, only to have the "adults" dodge and misdirect and act like children. If i was him, I would be really concerned for the Republican leaderships grasp on reality, because at least he wanted to address something that will affect/doom us all. I have a hard time watching that exchange...it was just...insane.
We ancestors love all your generations out there start talking together, stop the Vietnam war again stop the communist war against stopped in Korean Morgan wherever we have to add this time stop it. The fake news is going to ruin our soldiers again spit in your face, forget their heroism and only talk about their mistakes and gonna happen again as all timers are not gonna have they gonna happen to get Trump will not get into the office. DeSantos will not get into at the office drawl violent people. Trump said he would kill us and nobody would do anything about it he would lose any votes. We don’t want a man to threaten to kill us in Times Square as old-timers do not want Trump in office. We will not let him in office. We will do everything in our power to keep him out of office. He’s a bad man he’s a killer he’s a murderer. He is bad he’s a little baby we don’t want a baby in office.
Global Copper reserves are estimated at about 870 million metric tonnes (USGS), annual demand is about 28 million metric tonnes. Simple math tells us that with current global demand/consumption rates there is around 31 years worth in the ground still. Copper and other minerals are absolutely necessary for any renewable transition. However, people need to be conscious that there aren't unlimited supplies of these materials, and unfortunately circular economies for these materials are non-existent or aren't near the scale needed to use them wisely.
😅SO WE ARE SCREWED no matter what 😃I VOTE PARTY TIL THE END😄😃😀😆
Bro,dont tell me story.really.l swear on my Virtue..l know these.also they also know.but they dont behave as they say so..why they have to behave so,we wont live on earth after a while..soon,un near future we will live on other planets,not like mars,venus,complete other olanets
Peter, "global heat retention" and alternative energy sources are already cheaper than fossil fuels. Yes! The petroleum industry pay offs a la corruption is the base fundamental underpinning of continuing contribution to global heat retention. And, yes, disgusting.
It's also clearcutting and forest fires. It's equally a palling that construction is still using raw wood. Fossil fuels are not the only cause of this mess.
Indeed
the clear cutting is mostly for animal ag.
If you want to end your contribution to that you can by stopping buying animal ag products. Go plant-based for a shot at a liveable future.
Steel and concrete are even greater contributors of CO2. Properly managed wood can be a healthy carbon sink. You can connect the massive fires to fossil fuel usage. Every increase in temperature and drought is an increase in fires.
@@timeenoughforart steel and concrete arent nearly as bad as animal ag. The direct emissions from animal ag are 15% of total global emissions. And even worse, the opportunity cost of wasting 3 billion hectares of land animal ag instead of rewilding and reforesting it is worth 65% of global emissions for 30 years... 65% is not a typo...
I know, my comment is in reply to not using wood for construction. Which I know we should cut back, but that more than just wood needs to be reduced. I'm surrounded by CAFO's and would love nothing more than the world quit eating cheese.
@@michaelrch
@@timeenoughforart understood.
It's funny. I go for walks in nearby woods and it always bothers me when I see them logging.
But then on Wednesday I went to the store to buy some pieces of wood which I use to reinforce placards I make for climate protests! Lol.
Climate change is what made me not have children, lose faith in mankind, and no worry about retirement.
Josephine thank you very much good yes every child that is born starts to emit carbon dioxide. The the first diaper that is put on the baby, was transported by truck which emits carbon dioxide. The workers that travel to the factory to make the diaper, emits carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere between 300 years to 1,200 years. Perhaps you could start planting trees it also helped consume large amounts of carbon dioxide. Huge huge fields of hemp what do a great thing at absorbing carbon dioxide. And then they have could be compressed into blocks. And then the blocks would be put into the ground. Just sit forever
Thank goodness Biden took precious time to explain what global warming means, floods, storms, all that, I had almost forgotten after 35 years and tens of thousands of conversations. Biden 2024!
😂😂😂
Good to hear that it finally sunk in for you.
you are missing the /s there brother
Actually in 1988 Chief scientist for NASA dr. James Hansen, was probably one of the first scientist, to sit before the United States Senate, to tell the United States Senate the dangers in fact he mentioned that the Fingerprints of climate change has just been detected. That decades have theory that carbon dioxide would warm the planet. You mentioned to the United States Senate that if carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases were not reduced, that planet Earth would plunge into a period of extreme storms extreme flooding extreme heat waves extreme droughts. He did not know exactly when they would start to increase. But his prediction was 2050. However in the mid-90s, flooding events work increasing on a yearly basis in Australia. It was at one time there was a flood every three years maybe two years in Australia. Now and the early 2000s there's a flood every year and now there's three to four floods a year in Australia. It's an absolute horrible thing what the people are experiencing. This is on top of the drought cycle that occurs every few years
God save the Republic.
One of the sagas with Florida is that most of the State is less than 100 feet above the "water table". Between the water expanding in density as it gets warmer and the above ground Ice Packs melting, it has nowhere to drain TO.
If it cannot be reversed, we need to start addressing the consequences we will face and determine ways to solve issues. We have done many great things and solved many difficult problems. We can address this if we approach the issues rationally and intelligently.
Implement what Guy McPherson calls Planetary Hospice.
Consequences like more produce and livestock from the increased precipitation we are seeing?
@@RobertMJohnson You mean more floods that destroy crops and drown livestock?
@@RobertMJohnson If we are lucky. That would be great. However, the hot ocean threw dead fish and seaweed onto Florida beaches this year. Sea creatures are affected by heat as rain replenishes dry lakes. As usual, one place can benefit while another gets harmed.
Ignorance and Greed
As long as we’re focused on trying to save our modern lifestyles, the climate crisis will continue to get worse. We need to focus on restoring the health of the planet. Technology will not save us. Industrial civilization is inherently unsustainable no matter what kind of energy is used to power it. We need to drastically reduce our consumption of everything, including energy. The illusion that we can have constant economic growth and a livable planet is quickly coming to an end. The sooner we realize this, the sooner we can get busy saving what’s left of the earth, and restoring what has been destroyed by our voracious consumerism.
every politician behaves in ways to keep its independent voters on their side. when the environment party can elect and keep a president in office? they will get 100% of what is needed and stated

When all is said, but left undone, lethal climate change has become ABRUPT (wildfires, floods, Cat.4 and 5 hurricanes, etc), and IRREVERSABLE (Arctic sea snow and ice in terminal melt, Arctic seafloor methane clathrate and onshore tundra melt and sublimation, Brazilian Amazon rainforest being a net generator of "greenhouse gasses" rather than the sink it used to be, etc.). We ar well into Earth's 9th mass extinction and it includes us. old geologist

When it gets too hot, many agricultural crops won't grow. Poor harvests means famine.
As if this guy never ever used a gallon of gas , never ate food produced and hauled by diesel fuel,, Was never heated or cooled or used an amp of electricity generated from Coal, Oil, It Natural gas.
when i wrote the paper the 37 counts of 'global warming'in 1973, i was spot on about storms, drought, desertification, forest fires, ocean rising, melting ice sheets, and rising heat, i warned about epidemics and the rate of cancer growing,. the thing that i got wrong was how FAST this was going to come upon us, the last part of my paper was the 'feed back' loop that might occur when the poles and glaciers started to melt. it has happened, and when i heard you say that the ground temperature was 150 degrees that it is beyond scary. i am still trying to get my head around it, this guy is absolutely correct, we, a society, a world, are more vulnerable that we can even imagine. the use of fossil fuels, is bad,but i have done this work, i made the world aware of this coming, the NUCLEAR cabal is far, far more dangerous, and this gets into some very technical truths about nuclear, their deadly toxins that destroy life on a molecular level.the fossil fuel are also hell on earth, and their terror is also overwhelming. they and the nuclear industries have made my life hell on earth for years and years. they are using some new technical weapons on me, they burned my skull last night. sick with long covid and exhausted, and i do so miss my kids and having a life! but the aholes using me are destroying the world and themselves for money they will never have! they will be the most hated people that have ever lived, they and the monsters they serve.the way i am stocked ,they have bought crowds on demand to stock, threaten and terrorize my life. please don't use phrases like'connect the dots' i was the ONE that did connect those dots, that what i have been saying for years under torture and every time they torture me, use my work, stealing it from torture and illegal violation, they are using technology to make miss use of technology as a way to use people and we have seen the rise of sexism, racism, and meanness and stupidly. you have know is idea how often or the terrible extent that i have been tortured and treated unjustly, remember i have been the one that said 'Global Warming ;is real, sense 1973! the amount of violence and unfairness. i need help to deal with getting the renewable energy to folks! and earnest money and investors, my royalties made billions in the arts while i was tortured and literally beaten with a baseball bat when i tried to work. yet i am ready and able to have the world know about my work on energy i think your percent of what part is caused by fossil fuels is too high, nuclear energy is the main heating to enormousness degrees, and lasting for almost ever, is the real bad evil, as well as fossil fuels, but weather you agree with me ion this point or not, my work will end both these monstrous killing industries, maybe it will not end fossil fuel right away, but it will ultimately stop them, and you can start right now building them and only then will this planet have HOPE!. the 2 evil twins leer at us, we build nukes then they cause massive death with their toxins and meltdowns, then we build more fossil fuels, and they spill and create pollution, and with fraking, contaminate the water table, and always the temperature is rising from both these heinousness killers!we have another solution, you have no idea how much i have suffered ti stay alive to create it and have the world be given a chance to live! the aholes violating my life are killing trees, animals, their kids and grand kids and still they go torturing me,but it is also killing themselves! my energy i created in 2004 in Tucson Az, dying from advanced crones disease,a 5 time cancer survivor and i have so many times endured such terrible violence and injustice it is a real miracle i am writing this and even alive. my energy will work, and the aholes violating my life know that is true, just like all these years i was called'crazy' for trying to warn about 'Global Waring;' they knew was true. it will work on existing grids, once they are made they will be easy to maintain, they will work on smaller scales and larger scales, they will cost less than 1 cent for every dollar we are spending now, they a truly Real, ready to go, solution. they will undo the harm being done, but they will finally stop the unbridled growth of destruction! but this time I must have my name on the patents so they can not be stolen or buried. we need my RENEWABLE energy, NOW!!, Peter Kalms, green peace, Democracy Now, earth first, all of us folks that want life on earth, to have rights, economy and most of a future for the children, NOW! all people of any good purpose must help me now, but i after so many years of torture, don't believe it will be possible to use and install them and have them make any real difference UNLESS the truth comes about targeting me, the injustice and the violence, because w can nit allow EVER this miss use of technology for the benefit of the few to destroy pothers, and maybe even, god i hope not, life on earth! when i say this is destroying the economy with hypocrisy, it is true, and the sheer meanness is destroying our society, to protect those destroying life on earth! to survive and have any economy, freedom, truth, restitution, pay me my royalties, to Roberta May Hope Caster, and my kids, Hope under torture, stay none violation, be HONEST, a blessing to all environmentalist, i have the power, i hang on under torture, HOPE
why would we reduce our oil drilling ? meanwhile the rest of the world keeps drilling then we will end up paying ridiculous prices for fuel devastating our economy...
Legislative and industrial leadership are partially to blame... either incompetent or cruel and wasting precious time. Also, the public has the same material addictions as they and are unwilling to change. Current leadership has to go and people need to get a clue. I think the problem can be worked out, but it'll take an unprecedented and rapid group effort to do it.
Nope
Everything you drink,eat,even do shower is be created by them.😂they arent guilty,you are guilty..there is onky one leader in the world, this also to belongs to them
No doubt children understand the science of climate change better than our politicians. That really means we don't have adults running the country. Since the US is still the most influential country in the world, what does that imply to you???
Everyone will be screaming to death by 2030.
We don't need an alternative to fossil fuel energy, we need a system that doesn't based in grouth of the economy: less transport, less travels, less energy and share with poors countries the wealth of the richest people in the world.

Yes we do understand, Mr. Kalmus, don't treat us like we are idiots I just lived through a hurricane in the California desert- Palm Springs - it ravaged our area like I've never seen in 25 years living here. 77 degrees during the storm, 122 degrees 8 days later. We know we are doomed.
Not enough know. Spread the word, please
Not doomed, we can have a great impact on the future if we stop drilling, even now

I hear a lot from the climate activists about the climate emergency and nothing regarding a solution. Most people I encounter either don't really care about climate issues or don't believe it exists. I guess it's going to have to be a disaster that affects them directly before they wake up.
they do give implicit solutions tho
