Scientists predict climate change will displace more than 180 million people by 2100 -- a crisis of "climate migration" the world isn't ready for, says disaster recovery lawyer and Louisiana native Colette Pichon Battle. In this passionate, lyrical talk, she urges us to radically restructure the economic and social systems that are driving climate migration -- and caused it in the first place -- and shares how we can cultivate collective resilience, better prepare before disaster strikes and advance human rights for all.

6:50-7:50 she gives me goosebumps! Well said!
@J P lol you didn't even listen to what she said. Clearly you can't pay attention therefore youre not worth my time! 👍😂
@J P People like you are a dime a dozen on RUclips. Just because you don't understand something you disagree with it. I truly am sorry you don't understand the science."Fear of the unknown.They are afraid of new ideas.They are loaded with prejudices, not based upon anything in reality, but based on… if something is new, I reject it immediately because it’s frightening to me. What they do instead is just stay with the familiar. You know, to me, the most beautiful things in all the universe, are the most mysterious." Maybe you were misinformed. Maybe if it doesn't come from Trump's twitter it's considered fake news. Let me tell you something. The solutions to climate change are simple. Grow a garden.
@J P When will you learn that politics are nothing but a distraction? I respect your opinion but you haven't shared any ideas or knowledge. Permaculture is my dream way of politics. That will never happen unfortunately for many reasons. If you watched the video you might understand where I'm coming from.
@J P look up the drawdown project - 100 solutions to reverse climate change. Honey there are solutions, and they are feasible and available to us. educate yourself boo xx
J P You can never win with these kind of people bro they think they know everything.
Hurray for you. I've got so tired of the people who keep saying "We're all going to die". Let's hope there are enough people like this lady for a hard core of humanity to survive and prosper.
Lets hope so but only if such advice is heeded. lets hope good advice wherever it comes from is heeded. it must be. thats the honest plain and simple truth.
With the growing popularity of fascism, the chances that humanity will significantly mitigate climate change are virtually zero.
Some of us are just realistic. We want hope as well, but hope is dangerous it tempts ppl not to face reality.. like how you going to convince those in privilege and elites who caused this crisis, to change their ways. History is very clear on this..they would rather kill us than succumb to equality..they would rather raise armies of fascists and automatons to deny climate change..and the reality is
Those who are not in denial are very limited in resources and ability to effectively bring about this change.
It's more likely, as current trend shows elites and the privileged will ignore our desperate cries for help, as they always do, and they are ready to kill us if we resist. In fact I strongly suspect the elites are using climate change as a weapon against us.. sometimes reality is what it is despite our hopes
I would bet on nature. Nature always wins!
@@SuperTonyony Descreating works of art and stopping people from attending funerals because they don't want to kill people on the road that are intentionally stopping traffic really cements the message that climate activists are good actors that take other people's circumstances into consideration.
Thank you
Sharing, Justice and Peace for All.
Excellent presentation and profound words. Thank you for leading. 100% agreed
Great to hear a slightly different angle on what humankind is doing to the planet - it has to be long term. It has to be happening now.
Bruh... "Humankind" 😂
Man, this comment section is a really great collection of complete misinformation
There is no information. Opinions, a lot of them, but no information.
@DONKEY Seo Here is a link to some sea level info. ruclips.net/video/cK8wHwm7oWU/видео.html
@@JFast-si8xu For those who know whats happening and keep up with relevent news, and science and were interested even before it was ever a hot topic and her opinions re the cause of climate change are an accurate summary Also she did say that (i am para phrasing not quoting exactly just keeping the meaning) that its a bigger issue with so much more to it so you can't just hear the opinions and just say its only opinions without acknowledging that she recognises there are other things see hasn't mentioned too about climate change she acknowedges that its a big and complicated issue.
Thank you for this presentation. I'm an old man living in England; never really took climate change very, very seriously until the past 15 years or so; you have to think forward; the ultra rich and rich nations must share their wealth globally - the rich are those who have done the most severe damage to the eco-environment; I live very close to the English Channel and can see the sea from my window; I have left the small wealth I have to the youngest children of my extended family; I have also advised my friends and relatives to do the same. Many won't - some do so.
Great!
Great talk...!!!! but needs great action. We move from moderate to extreme climate. We need to prepare.
thanks
More people need to watch this.
This video is full of heart but doesn't provide any concrete answers. "Respect, justify, acknowledge, transform, seek justice. We can do it. We must do it". Okay cool. Now how do we actually do those things, beyond just feeling them?
She said there needs to be refuge cities that can accept climate migrants. Cities on the decline like the towns in Italy or the rust belt of the Midwest can prepare to accept these people and transform their communities.
Fascism is on the rise all around the world. We're about to see migrants treated with levels of cruelty that will rival the holocaust.
It’d be great if we could bring everyone together. We’re all the same, one species, but that’s just not how most people see things. People don’t like change and they don’t like things that are different. I wish it was possible but it just isn’t.
Felipe Murillo Never said it was a bad thing. I’m just saying that’s how it is.
@@OliverStClair-wc8tq But in all seriousness people like you who hate science and nuance really grind my gears. It's like you've never heard of haplogroups. Or of an indochinese tiger. Or the problem mixed race people have receiving stem cell surgery who's only recourse is to receive donations from other mixed race people. Even then is not always viable.
"Climate change is the...symptom of an economic system that has been built for a few to extract every precious value out of this planet and its people...we must have the courage to admit that we have taken too much..."
Wow. So beautifully put. Love you Ms Pichon
Kim Hayes So what would you say to all the developing countries of the world? Stay poor?
@@Fedgery007 Hello. The quote I pulled relates to developed countries. She addresses being fair to developing countries later in her talk.
You are communist
Maybe not even reflecting it. . A happy one too. Since you were happy enough never to live with it. I was raised under Socialism. I happily escaped it. To find out the West is full of not so intelligent people who promote it. Actually disgusting to the core.
7:00 statement was emotional.
It hurts and it’s the truth. If you’re here please measure your global ecological footprint.
My ecological footprint is HUGE. I fly in airplanes all the time, I only eat steak, i drive a giant suv with monster truck tires, and i always fush the toilet nine times. That last one is because I am somewhat OCD, but it makes me happy. Um, all my clothes are made of animal skin and I hunt big game in Africa sometimes.
Whether or not you believe climate change is natural or man made, it’ll still affect us.
It’ll affect us mostly beneficially by increasing vegetation etc.
Yeah and climate alarmists are doing everything to worsen the impact of it
One theorie brings lots of money... lies and helpless idiots... collecting it without any idea what to do ....to change anything ....the other does not bring a dime but the truth non of the collectors like ... because noooo money on earth can stop it .... !
BUT what it could do in case of nr 2 is to secure people through the possibility to get everything they need to survive .... what nr 1 does not fullfill because the needed money is in all other pockets than in those who desperatly would need it to survive A POL JUMP !!! ...
I guess they realy try to fu** us ....
No BUNKER for the MOB ???
BUT LUXURY DUMPS FOR THEM .... payed for by KLIMAT CHANGE ! ups .... by US ... for them ... thats all !!!
And as we learned from our speziel muslim friends : Du kimmst hier net rein ! Du net ....lol ;))))))
If someone thinks climate change isn't been done by humans, then you're WRONG
@@fusionsniping3741 Climate change isn't been done by humans. if you look at temperature graph over last 2 centuries you can see a 60/70 years period. It will decrease soon !
The only offering I heard is how I can pay for more of somebody else’s foolish attempts to build where they should not I see people here where I live get flooded out my insurance raises while they build a new home exactly where they’ll get flooded out in another five or 10 years and they will get another new home and my insurance will raise again because I was smart enough to build where will not flood where it does not blow too hard of winds maybe you should worry about moving or building where it is safer and not tell me to build for you. And do not say I’m no compassionate Many times I have helped my neighbors for nothing other than they needed it just let one of those neighbors come to me and tell me I have to do it and they will be alone
I hope you don't get nicked by the next flood
PIZACLATON DDD If I do I will not be demanding other people help me and I’m not sure if anybody would but I will not cry I’ll pick up my pieces and I’ll go to work That is the true American way in thats the way of life and I will be grateful if somebody helps me that’s the way of life
I totally agree Kevin it's all about supply and demand and the to be smart to not live where it will flood it's kind of common sense and I don't want to pay for others that do not have common sense
Zoning should not allow construction in a flood plane. That's just asking for trouble. At least require flood resistant engineering.
Benjamin Browne I am not actually say to make rules on anyone's happiness but people have to take responsibility for there decisions if they with to build if flood plan that is there responsibility to take that risk and they must pay accordingly
Left and right need to get together and make climate change illegal, then they could subpoena Mother Nature hold her accountable for melting all the ice caps, and then make her pay for flooding the below sea-level Louisiana areas with that not needed hurricane.

I really like ur voice,🥰🥰🥰
She is struggling to breathe...
@@camtonyray666 ?
The people who say we are all going to dies are not neccesarilly right but the truth is they are not neccesarilly wrong either. It depends in which direction we ALL go, and HOW SOON. PREFERABLY NOW. As at 2021 We have already past points we should never have allowed ourselves as a planet to reach. We all have to act now in ways that actually work and people in charge need to make real change for the better to make it something WE CAN ALL DO RIGHT NOW so we can actually make the real changes needed. i hope your message changes things for the better.
POV: your here for school

If you want to migrate just once from the harshest effects of climate change, and not have to keep moving every time a new latitude becomes unliveable, the best places to go are:
Alaska, the three northern territories of Canada, northern Greenland, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, northern Norway and Sweden, northern Finland, northern Russia and northern Siberia, Patagonia, Tasmania, and the South Island of New Zealand.
Those are certainly further from the equator and while they won't have as many heat days, they will be subject to other extreme weather events including drought and fire. Northern permafrost is melting and producing huge amount of methane and soft soggy ground unsuitable for building or agriculture. Immigration itself will be a socially and politically destabilizing issue.
correct
An excellent speaker. AND she pointed out what should be more obvious to everyone:
Stop over consumption and no I'm not advocating returning to living like it's the Stone Age.
I'm looking forward to the world will be peaceful someday.
What is usually missing in talks on climate change is the over-population of our planet. Smaller families, fewer consumers, less waste, less pollution, less suffering. Add to this climate-friendly lifestyles and our planet could survive.
I think population is such an obvious part of it that it's accepted as a given so it doesn't have to be mentioned all the time. But absolutely... more people using diminishing resources will be disastrous.
Stay on script,don't elevate your marketability. Blame whomever will quietly sit and nod in agreement.
500 billion was spent on y2k so it didn’t become a problem. Failures are known and success is not recognized. To pretend it’s not real, some day you may thank those who fought for you while you stood by and believed in lies of the rich.
The rich are on both sides of the equation here.
Source for this y2k thing?
@@RickyDemetro as easy as it is to blame the rich and owning class here, it is collective industrial society that is driving consumption. The rich profit because we incentivize them to mass produce for an increasingly globalized consumption driven world.
The science deniers won’t believe until they walk into Walmart and there’s no more mountain dew
Perfect.
Many of these so called deniers are the scientists that actually read the reports and make informed reasonable critique of the methods and conclusions. There really is no crisis. There is no empiracle evidence of anthropogenic CO2 causing climate change.
@@kayakMike1000 there is empirical evidence that climate emergency is caused by humans & this is scientific consensus. To say that the climate deniers are scientists while ignoring scientific consensus is incredibly disingenuous.
@@bo_trilly no, there is no direct evidence of CO2 as a causal factor of AGW. There are models, but most of these are likely wrong. Anthropogenic CO2 as a causal factor of global warming is just an idea, a hypothesis. It's largely impossible to test this hypothesis directly as we cannot arbitrarily change the CO2 concentration of the entire atmosphere, nor is this a recommendable experiment to perform on earth, even if it were possible. Besides this, there is evidence in the tropical troposphere where CO2 concentrations have increased, but very little or no warming has been observed by either satellite, nor weather balloon. It's predicted by the models for warming to occur in the tropical troposphere. There are problems with consensus, first of all, consensus has been wrong in the past and is likely to be wrong in the future. It's likely to be wrong about climate right now. Argument from consensus is also a logical fallacy, a non argument. Finally, there is no consensus, there are open letters from scientists around the world that are extremely skeptical of any AGW climate emergency. Many scientists wait until retirement to speak out... Doing so before would ruin a career.
@@bo_trilly don't get me wrong, I don't think it's the greatest of all ideas to dump gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere. It does have an effect on the climate, we can both agree the IPCC is correct when they indicated the earth has become greener over the last 40 years as evidenced by satellite imaging. We HAVE technology to create loads of energy and store it without releasing so much CO2. Generation 4 and 5 nuclear fission reactors exist now and can be built with today's technology. They are very safe and the fuel cycle used makes solid waste that is only dangerously radioactive for a few hundred years rather than millennia. I don't think fusion is going to pan out for awhile, but I suppose a breakthrough could come any time....
Compelling talk - it's hard to see a way back from the individualism and consumption-based society we've built today, but I hope with enough changes in the individual and community level, we can take small but important steps. So many people nowadays seem to think they can outsmart the forces of the natural world...
Is she saying we've been overconsuming?
Ye, our society is addicted to the dinosaur juice of the old sun. But don't worry, I'm sure business-as-usualism will get us out of the hole it dug
@@blockybear8152 I'm just saying it's a bit hard to take from a woman who has spent her entire life out consuming the overconsumers.
@@CitizenSuspect wut, consuming the overconsumers? Sorry I must've missed the part in the video where she tells of her cannibalistic past
@@blockybear8152 she's about 40 stone in weight ffs, your observational powers are muck.
@@CitizenSuspect Ah sorry mate, I don't measure things in rocks, nor base my arguments on ad hominems, but I strive to use functional grammar. So my mistake, but yes, pointing out that she's fat, indeed, the pinnacle of humor
Is it just me, or did that talk lack substance? It was more pep talk than a lecture on concrete solutions..
It's TED nowadays.
You clearly didn't study economics in your life.
You should be working to increase bio diversity
It's called "activism".
It could be just becuase you didn't listen the entire thing!
Turn the power off... Problem solved, everybody wants to save the world as long as it doesn't affect them directly. Nothing will be solved as long as Profit is involved.
Someone will just tun it on again.
Very well said, I cringe with what I am about to say, but I think it needs to be brought up. With the force of migration to the interior of land masses population control will become a necessity. If not we will lose our forests to compensate for the need of housing, the infrastructures of all major cities will need billions of dollars in upgrades to be able to handle the influx. Government welfare will be at an all time high do to the lack of jobs in said areas. There will be many hard decisions in figuring this out, but if the above is not figured out the interior land masses will be destroyed at an expediential rate.
Unfortunately, climate change is not just about moving to a less risky area. Increased temperatures equals bugs and animals moving, too. As they move they bring their know viruses with them, which naturally will create more diseases. Growing food in an unstable atmosphere, unpredictable jets stream changes and sudden polar vortexes, will also affect us. We need to think smart. And you are right, we need ancient and traditional knowledge in the new climate world.
so instead of fucking with companies- we stop humans from having kids? stfu
WOW. Well said. a shame these baboons we call leaders knew about this decades ago. We all must get it, that WE ARE ALL ONE!!!!!!!!
It will come again and again it will come. Despair. U may slow it but u cannot stop it
Only the dutch can defeat the sea.
Problem with Climate change is habitable places become inhabitable and vise versa. Displacing people is equally difficult to stopping climate change.
Great video
YES YES YES!!!!
Logic
We have the prerequisites technologies to enable us build gravitation electric power stations for families globally.
climate change impacts such as storms and drought could displace up to 300 million people worldwide.
Sadly that won't be the biggest problem. We will face even bigger problems.
Coastlines, fault lines, and volcanoes are poor places to live. While we are redesigning and resettling, we need to think about what is sustainable and what the land will support, not about corporate profits.
@pneumatictrousers No, just strongly informing of hazards, maybe a bit like cigarette warnings.
@pneumatictrousers Let the buyer beware then.
“Climate change is a symptom of our economic system”. Now I’ve heard it all, she’s got some good ideas but I feel she wants more than what she’s saying
How so? Generally speaking, industrialisation as a consequence of hyper-capitalism has had an awful impact on the environment (think the growth of factories, car ownership increase, fast fashion, labour saving devices, resource exploitation to feed all these things etc etc.) In the US, consumption (of all things; food, energy, water, consumer goods) is so high that if the rest of the world consumed as much as the average US citizen, we would need 4 more planet Earths to meet the demand. The economy is intrinsically linked to the environment. Btw in no way am I having a go or anything, just simply curious! :)
Ofcourse you’ve heard it all, you listened to 12 min video and picked one sentence on a deeply complex situation and you Alex have heard it all, congrats you are now a climate expert too.
@@neehoiminoy5046 people are having fewer children all over the world, so we can all have lives of plenty, not force everyone to live in a low standard of living and forced into it by people who decide for us that we don't deserve a good life.

Now 2023 do u guys agree to her ?
Nothing last forever, change is inevitable and is all around us, we cant control it.
We can influence it a lot. If we Stop poluting the Planet and Change to sustainable Lifestyles we can get rid of most crisis. There will always be change, but we can decide If we want to provoke climate disasters ourselfs
@@SaschiaSlytherin As long as the entire planet, works in the same direction. That's not going to happen. 3rd world countries, who are trying to become 1st world, will burn and burn coal.
Data shows we are the main cause for the change we are seeing now, so arguing that there are things that are out of our control and pretending that this includes all of climate change is denying our own responsibility in the process, which is kind of a victim stance on the subject, which doesn't bring anyone forward. Why not accept the change industrialisation had on our climate system and our active role in this and take this as a challenge that needs to be solved?
@@halcyon107 i couldnt agree more
@@halcyon107 There is data that humans cause it and data that they don't. I personally, don't want my taxes raised at all. But definitely not if the jury is still out. Also, not if the rest of the world isn't on board.
A wide variety of things can be done to protect our environment. Nearly all petrol vehicles that are on the roads today are suitable to have LPG systems installed. LPG is a cleaner and cheaper fuel. Petrol will still be needed to start the engine but then the LPG system will soon activate. The rate of petrol consumption will reduce which will cut emissions and still benefit the environment. Hybrid cars, electric cars and even hydrogen powered cars are all good too.
Petrol as in gasoline?

That's so true.. From North Carolina down to Florida, Louisiana on up suppose to be under water. California suppose to be underwater as well as New York 🗽. So What's new? It's scary but if you want to live in the future you would take this in. We got a decade or 10 years to prepare ourselves to for the worth.
We are the new generation and we must do everything we can! Eating plant base, protesting to our governments to do something!! And if you don’t feel like doing anything, do it for the people you love. Believing that you can’t do anything is already fail without try!
Yeah no. I’d rather the world end than stop eating meat.
Ricky Demetro you just have to reduce if it means that much. Plus there won’t be any meat when goods become scarce
People have always relocated to flee costs or entropy be it uninsurable wildfire prone communities, coastal erosion, high cost of living metros, encroaching seas, high crime, or depleted natural resources.
There are no guarantees of permanency for natives or settlers.
Bullshit. A partially true but also misleading statement. People also relocate for economic opportunity, health, family, marriage or personal preference - some like the mountains, the sea, the cities, the rural, the crowds, the isolation or just the different. The reasons for relocation and migration are many.
Great Video.👍🏻
Whenever I hear someone say that we must abandon our indivdual pursuits and allow the collective to reign, it usually means that a whole lot of people are about to get fucked over.
www.psmsl.org/data/obtaining/ It's not difficult to look up tide gauge data for coasts around the US. In many cases there is zero acceleration going on, just slow and steady sea level rise as has been happening for 150+ years. However "millions displaced by X" is a more catchy headline than "sea continues its slow rise at roughly the same rate is in Victorian times".
Am I the only one pessimist?
I reckon the portrait of the society with all these values is very interesting, but utopist.
It takes very long for the people to change their behaviour towards climat change and it will only put further away the endline.
Imagining in this crisis that we need to reconsider all our system structure is unbelievable. We will be dead until the powering hierarchy change their mind to another system.
I really hoped a society as you described but I think we are too much into it to step back.
Thanks anyway for the good vibes of your speech, but don't hope too much.
Now more people will have sea facing houses!

Climate is changing since the world is world
Waters were high a long time ago. I find shark teeth 50 miles inland. So it’s earth doing something from the past.
Earth has never experienced the current damage of humans
I'm sorry, but what, exactly, is she trying to say?!
That people will be displaced by climate change and that the ones must effected are the very poor and POC. :)
You must build your ark-for yourself and your family and your community-not for your own needs, but for the needs of everyone around you. If you wait too long, it will be too late to prepare, and everyone will be panicking. All those who would not see and could not see or were too weak or elderly or infirm to prepare-it will be a great panic, a growing panic, a panic between nations, a panic within nations. From The Great Warning by Marshall Vian Summers
That climate change, climate migration, and climate gentrification are all happening and will get worse. Black, brown, and poor folx will get left behind or pushed away from their communities or exploited first. The way we view and treat refugees right now is pretty terrible and will likely be how we treat people displaced by climate change too, if we don't work as a society to change our views and our actions. She also talked about all this at a money level - money toward social change, money toward anything that collectively empowers us, and money toward long-term planning in society (such as public hospitals, infrastructure that doesn't run on energy harmful to our planet, etc.) and not just short-term planning. Our social, political, and economic system is currently set up for really a minority of people being very comfortable, but we need to reshape our societal system for collective survival and equity, or else the planet will continue to die rapidly and everybody will suffer, but especially the most vulnerable people (black, brown, poor people, and those who are refugees). Apart from everybody having individual human rights and deserving to live and thrive and move wherever we want, she's saying that collectively we *all* benefit from helping those folx, so we should start now ...and be prepared to reach back to our more indigenous roots and local ecological sources of knowledge. She was starting to lose me there at the end, but I think that's what she was saying. :)
Awareness
@@legnarios7025 nice! well said
I have long thought that the focus has been on the wrong aspect of climate change. The climate has been changing since the earth formed. Whatever the cause, our (and governments') focus should be on preparing us to cope with the changes. Where can displaced people go to integrate without becoming a burden to those already there. How do we grow food in areas where the current crops and methods are no longer viable. How do we get food, clothes, and other resources from where they can be grown or made to those who need them. How do we make sure that corrupt actors (often these have been governments) don't siphon off resources before they can reach their intended and rightful recipients. We don't need acrimonious blame fests about the past, but preparation for our future.
We go extinct, that's how.
“Science is the Belief in the Ignorance of Experts” Richard Feynman
Agree, ruclips.net/video/oaFDkX3G2GI/видео.html
The thing is the moment you discredit science as ignorance, there's no truth or lies anymore. There's no measurement for anything anymore. Everything just floats in a void of statement against statement. And your ideology also implies that both are always equally plausible. Some say the earth is a globe. Some say it's flat. So both of them could be right. There's no way to tell since imperic sience is ignorance right?! And a trend I have noticed is, that it's mostly people like flat eathers, anti vaxxers, climate change deniers and so on that tend to discredit science in order to validate their irrational position against reality. So yeah, not a smart move, making such a statement, mr OP... ^^"

As she preaches about over comsuption, she might need to set the example and stop over consuming (food). How many kids starved to death because she ate their food.
Is it water rising or erosion?

It's erosion.
180 million displaced people by 2100? That sounds way too optimistic.

Kinda like what's happening with polar animals and bears
Even though I'm not so sure about the predictions, I was deeply moved by the general message. I'm a climate skeptic, so it would take more and more accurate information to ascertain the fate of Louisiana and to please my mind on the matter. Again though, I thought it was a wonderful way of communicating the importance of mankind being more human. It didn't get into much climate data or sticky icky topics. It was just inspiring.

Can't believe there are still people in 2020 who don't believe climate change is a real issue. Wonderful TED talk.
Well, it seems the thing we need to do for the poorest people in the world is to help them take advantage of fossil fuels so they can have AC, irrigation, and life-saving advantages of energy. We have done this in other countries like the USA. In the USA, we grew the population in hotter and dryer areas because of the use of fossil fuels. We created AC for cooling and pumps for irrigation and improved everything from healthcare, jobs, technology, and more because we had fossil fuels. I think we are confusing climate change, something it has done for millions of years. We can protect ourselves from the climate if we take advantage of fossil fuels, especially in the poorest populations. Unfortunately, too many have been sucked into a non-problem and are attacking the most helpful resources (fossil fuels) to protect human life. It is inhumane for wealthy countries to keep fossil fuels from the poorest population. We should focus on bringing more energy to the world, and fossil fuels are the ONLY way to do this ASAP. Solar and wind are nowhere close to being able to provide this level of energy to the world. The world has such an abundance of fossil fuels if we keep the academics from destroying our ability to provide them to help the rest of the world. I hear all these catastrophizing alarms, but we don't talk about what we can actually do to manage the climate. Something we have been doing for 200 years using fossil fuels. More people die from cold than heat, but we have shown we can manage this climate challenge with fossil fuels. We can destroy ourselves by keeping ourselves from using fossil fuels, which is the biggest danger. Think about it: if we take fossil fuels away, we all suffer and die. But if we take advantage of them, we all flourish. We all need to stop and really think about what we are doing. This temperature alarmism is so crazy and sad. The world has had a lot more CO2 in the world than we have now, and what was the condition of the world? Well, it was super green, and more plant life. To say the world will collapse in a few years is crazy unless we do it to ourselves because we don't take advantage of fossil fuels. We need to focus on mastering the climate using fossil fuels than taking them away and creating a worldwide disaster due to a lack of life-saving energy. In short, we can either be problem solvers or ignorant sheep. If you would like to learn about the facts, I recommend reading the book: "Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas-Not Less" by Alex Epstein.
best Ted Talk I have seen in a long time
Politicians around the world need to wake up and be more like her!
Politicians are victims of the economy and geopolitics. How do you expect “words” to matter there? We need economic solutions.
Politics are the most deadly weapons. I hope that people would unite to tackling the severe conditions, not just for other humans, but also for other living creatures.
How about politicians in america first? She talked about american losses and sofar i haven't seen the USA taking any responsibility in that area not to speak even about the dipshits voting for climate change deniers.
I can't believe how stupid you and your generation is as you are to naive to see Al Gore was saying this year's ago and what has happened??? What's that crickets...
Here’s how we prepare: give the government more power, let them raise taxes, stop driving your car, don’t have a family, don’t eat meat, live in a 10x8 shoebox in a city and take public transportation every day.
Literally hundreds of million indians are already doing this(including me) so you guys pls do it ASAP
Or we could ignore the problem and ridicule anybody who suggest we do something
Please you especially shouldn’t have a family. Poor critical thinking skills.
Yet the US government is too busy with playing Captain America in the middle east!
perfect and powerful speech ,but the solutions are not realistic ,however thank you
TED talks used to be so good. It breaks my heart to see how far it's fallen.
''TED talks used to be about things that I agreed about''
@@behamut92 When I think of TRD talks my mind goes to Brene Brown promoting her book "Daring Greatly" and Susan Cain's "Quiet." Both of those speakers were phenomenal, and I absolutely enjoyed their work. The stuff promoted on here now isn't remotely thought provoking. All I see are a bunch of pseudo intellectuals in a circle jerk. Perhaps that's why they had that lady on that was advocating for pedophiles, or that weird segment of this guy talking about raping the woman he was stage with.
@@ZeriocTheTank There's still literally dozens of TED talks about other topics such as science, astronomy, literature, etc. They get uploaded virtually every day. I only see your kind of comments on these kind of ''controversial'' topics because they don't say what you want to hear. Stop nitpicking the videos and saying that TED has fallen so much because you don't want to get out of your echo chambers.
Oh no not more of this. Do they think we're still stupid? Sure, it's happening but it's also happening on multiple planets and the moons of said planets. And comments disabled in 3... 2... 1...
"Sure, it's happening but it's also happening on multiple planets and the moons of said planets" That is actually false
@@briandiehl9257 No, it is not false.
@@screamengine it is false
Plenty of high ground in Mexico. Many mountains that are well above sea level. I say move all those people in New Orleans there. Let's start with the lawyers like Colette Pichon Battle.
Huh.... Climate change deniers watch Tedtalk. Never woulda guessed
[" I bet there are many many things that are true that you would NEVER guess. How many phantoms do you treat as real? "]
Yes,we love inspiration,intelligence,education and free thinking.....being a leftie fop,or marxist is not a necessity! Love science and fact too, hence the dislike of this rubbish...
Lots of gullible people too!
+Awkward Dawn Investigates History The earth dies at 160 ppm so lets destroy the economy so we and lower the CO2 back down and kill the earth as fast as we can. The climate con-men altered the data and should be fired and arrested for fraud. Actual scientists do not believe this garbage.
They preach facts over feelings but constantly ignore the facts
"Here's how we prepare..."
... build a wall.
A wall that is not a waste of money.
@DONKEY Seo As a dutchmen living 3 meter bellow sea level behind a wall i beg to differ
@@JFast-si8xu some people watch too much Star Trek or play too many games, a wall works the same as it always has and always will. Technology and advanced methods of transportation have changed nothing.
@@leveljoe advanced technology like high tech tunnels? State of the art ladders? Surely worth billions
@@JFast-si8xu shovels and ladders are cutting edge!
That was a nice speech y’all
Who knew the only solution for climate change was marxism? You talk about liberty, then explain why I have to bend the knee to the collective. No one owes the collective anything. Is my liberty worth less than a displaced person's? Is the money I earn as a result of my hard work up for grabs to any person? The equality of every person is the equality of opportunity, not of outcome. Regardless of your socioeconomic status, you can become successful. That's the beauty of capitalism.
So you're saying a displaced climate immigrant has an "equal opportunity" with the avarage citizen? How about an avarage citizen with a corporate money hoarder's kid? Just because every lottery ticket has an equally abhorrent chance of winning, doesn't mean that that's a fair system. Capitalism has never been about equality, and even less today. That has always been the charade upheld by those at the top, trying to justify their position in regards to those below, as if any external factors weren't involved in the outcome.
It's a system that increasingly focuses wealth and power to the hands of the few that already have it. A lie that will not last the tides of times to come.
@@blockybear8152 I never said the system was fair. Nothing about life is fair. Selling a good idea for monetary gain isn't winning a lottery ticket it's hard work to better yourself and your family. Even if a spoiled brat has corporate money he can lose all of it. There is no guarantee that one will remain at the top while the other remains at the bottom which is why there is no guarantee of outcome. Marxism isn't sustainable under any circumstance, it's a lie perpetrated by those who live in a fantasy of a utopia that will never be a reality.
@@joshtaylor2749 You're focusing on the fringe cases. Yes, some people can make it from rags to riches. Yes, some can lose their silver spoons with stupid decisions. However the bigger trend today is that the poor will stay poor and the rich will get richer. Many people work two jobs or even more, and might still barely get by, while others siphon money from these hard workers by merely owning the establishment. The fact that it is more economically viable to get rich by being a parasite than actually doing anything productive for society is kind of fucked up.
I also never mentioned marxism. The fact that one system might not work doesn't mean that the current one is any good in the long run.
@@blockybear8152 I'm proving my point that there is an equality of opportunity. People can better their lives and become more prosperous under capitalism. Even though people are working more than one job that doesn't mean that it will always be like that. They can always improve their lives. Marxism was the underlying tone of the entire video that is why I was using that as the alternative to capitalism.
@@joshtaylor2749 Btw watched the video again, and calling what the person speaking offers marxism is jumping the gun. She speaks of strenghtening the communities, but that's a far stretch to communism. Communities in the past were way more integral to people's lives even just few decades ago, not to speak of compared to this day and age's individualistic, consumer centric lifestyle. You didn't need buy everything when the communities could provide for most of the needs of the participants. That gave both the communities itself and individual people too more resilience against external problems, such as the extreme weather events that the progressing change in climate will bring.
About the equality of opportunity. That actually proves the opposite. Avarage poor person's kid has to compensate by working way harder for the lack of money, less invested infrastructure and poorer education available to them to reach university, for example. And what about the tuition costs (or whatever they're called in US)? What if they get terribly sick, does their hard working attitude excuse them for the ridiculous medical bills in the US? If there was truly an equality of opportunity, we'd be seeing people with more diverse backgrounds reaching the same top level jobs for example. But the fact is this is not the case; the wealth of your family plays a huge role. It requires soo much more work from someone at the bottom to reach the top than someone already near there. Old money is more advantageous than hard work in the current system, and this in turn stiffles innovation, and incentivizes from even trying. The established corporations have done and will do anything to keep their share of the market. Nicola Tesla's and Edison's AC/DC feud is a cautionary case.
Equality of opportunity would mean that everyone had the same starting point. From there, their abilities and the famed hard work they did would determine the outcomes.
But unfortunately, your socioeconomic starting point matters, to a point where it is detrimental to the society in the long run. And that's the ugly truth of capitalism.
Make climate change great again😎
Make Extinction Human Again
Prepare for the coming cooling cycle.
I have a way to make free electricity
Teslas or electric devices that never need to be recharged, free heating in winter and electric power plants that make 0 gases please help me make it possible
The laws of thermodynamics prevent this, sorry.
And I have the way to stop government from spying on us!
For FBI : Guys I was just kidding , don't put me on the list please.

This is about the long term survival of humanity. We need to pay attention to the warnings to ensure we survive. Think on a 200 year time frame. We only have 1 planet.
Not a single credible scientist claims that climate change will extinct humanity.
