It’s because this is not the conclusion that the climate alarmist want us to get to. They want to stop all use of fossil fuels and kill free market capitalism. Climate Alarmism is political and NOT science.
Soil management has been practiced throughout the ages. Sustainable farming can restore some land. Responsible stewardship of our waste products and efficient energy use can get us further. Plant trees.
@@colins1358 I mean, like I don't have a specific place for everyone, but I'm pretty sure most people, can like, plant a garden. Even if you live in an apartment most cities nowadays have a public garden, even if yours doesn't you can start one yourself. You know it's not hard to grow plants if you just like, think about it for a second.

What is your position Sir.
@@colins1358 have you seen the news about the amazon rainforest on fire, or have you looked at all the land for businesses that's*only* used for grass? This search will find news articles about the first topic mentioned. goo.gl/search/amazon+rainforest+on+fire
Thanks Asmeret. I learned a lot. There's a Doctor Magid Ali who talks about the metaphor of the gut being a sort of garden for our person, where we absorb nutrients. I'm grateful for your presentation.
We must recognize this is a very real problem. I live in a medium-sized town in Tennessee. And in the last 8 years, we have expanded the city limits. We have cut down over 15,000 Acres of forest and trees fields and marshes. The average ambient temperature it's nearly one and a half degree higher than it was one year ago. I can personally feel the difference driving from my work which is nothing but concrete roads in a few trees. 6 miles to my house and the temperature will drop by 2 degrees or more. Because there is no structures there's no parking lots it's nothing but forest and Fields. It is our duty to looking to expand vertically versus horizontally. We must convince Society to replant what we have destroyed. And that vertical construction is the wave of the future the salvation of our planet
Great idea. This could work if we manage to re-generate the soil in the farming and forestry areas. Good soil needs moisture, we need a system of small irrigation channels for that. Holland and Arles in France is a good example for such a landscape, where wetland farms were created by humans and the soil is more productive than ever. They grow all the possible thins in there. It's like Holland in the south of France.
As a conservationist i don't understand why environmentalists always go after grazing. Its well known overgrazing is bad, but grazing at light, moderate, or sometimes heavy rates for short periods of time, such as hollistic grazing management is beneficial for the soil. So a couple of things I want to say is there are ecosystems that need grazing to maintain fragile habitat, especially when one considers control of invasive species. Also grazing is important part of nutrient cycling, and accelerating the process of breaking down above ground carbon to be stored in the soil. Everybody says the solution is to plant trees because they sequester the most carbon, but nobody talks proper management of our forests. How a dense canopy of trees has lead to unhealthy forests that are likely to burn up. As far as I can tell most environmental activists steal the limelight from what is real science only so they can push an agenda to make themselves feel good that they did something.
This was really interesting, thank you! I’m probably going to go off on a diatribe here, bc I appreciate this information deeply, and anything like this, bc education on this is so very important, it’s invaluable, and I don’t think most people actually understand just how serious this problem is sometimes. I like the suggestions here, just as I like so many of the suggestions I hear from scientists of probably more than a dozen fields, *but when it comes to climate change, the only solution, the solution that comes before all others, is political action.* All of us DO have a role to play, I agree, but what worries me is that many of my more liberal friends, and/or liberals I hear/see talk about this issue, are too concerned with the lifestyle choices and behaviors of individuals, such as going vegan, using paper straws, planting trees, getting hybrid or electric cars, etc, as if that’s really the key to solving the global climate crisis, and it’s just not. I’m not against any of these things in practice, or any other ethical steps that an individual may take to lessen their personal carbon footprint, but my problem is that my very well meaning liberal friends who think this is the best way forward are typically overlooking, and/or often unaware of, the power of people coming together to collectively demand, nay, *to force change.* This isn’t just my concern bc I think the left, as in leftists/progressives, have a better approach, though that’s obviously a part of it.. I think it’s the only approach, *because the personal carbon reduction effort isn’t even close to being enough to address the problem.* That alone certainly isn’t the only reason we must organize and act collectively, but it *should* be reason enough for liberals (and any conservatives/right wingers who accept the science) to consider a more radical approach to the problem, bc if we accept the science, then we’re implicitly accepting that massive changes have to happen, and that they have to happen VERY soon... as in we have about a decade to start acting, if we want to prevent serious problems. If you’re expecting market solutions to suddenly show up and save us before things start getting way worse, then I don’t think you understand the problem. I’m not trying to pick on anybody, or say that everyone should be thinking about this issue *exactly* like myself/other leftists, but I am absolutely suggesting that the solutions being offered by leftists (or progressives, if you prefer) are the the only solutions that actually address this problem to it’s fullest extent, or at least that the best plans I’ve seen for addressing this problem, by far, are coming from progressives/leftists, primarily bc they’re the only people addressing every relevant part of this problem. Looking at this issue through a critical lens (which we’re hopefully always doing, as much as is possible) must mean examining all relevant contextual aspects related to it, which means *we absolutely have to be thinking about the various systems and structures that produced this problem, and that reproduce and sustain it, and what kind of systemic and structural changes could and/or would be sufficient to remedy this problem, both short term and long term.* When one truly does this, they will necessarily come to the conclusion that we need broad systemic and structural changes to address climate change, and perhaps more importantly, they’ll understand that individual action simply is not going to save us, and that we need to band together to demand change, no matter what it takes, bc failure means no future for our children and grandchildren, let alone great suffering for those of us who are still going to be around a few decades. As far as the “how” you force that change, just look at the history of the last 200 or so years: you organize, and engage in mass protest, sit ins, strikes, and any method of direct action necessary to force what is just and necessary.. and make no mistake, this is an issue of justice for humanity/life in general vs a grossly unjust status quo that values profit uber alles... Anyway, I’ll leave it there. I could have gone on and been more specific, but this is already too long as it is.. I’m not trying to tell anyone what or how to think, but I am suggesting listening to how the far left talks about this, reading what they think about it, and understanding why leftists/progressives are so insistent on systemic and structural changes as being an absolutely necessity to solve this problem. If anyone is curious, just ask, and I’ll gladly point you in the direction of relevant content on this matter. Let’s solve this problem, y’all. Remember, there’s no “Planet B”... ♾🏴❤️✊🏾✊🏿✊🏼✊🏽❤️🏴♾
So glad TED is promoting healthy soil! FYI "Soil Solutions to Climate Problems" is a 4 minute video (narrated by Michael Pollan) that was screened at the Paris Climate Conference in 2015: @
Wow what a great presentation, am very very much delighted and proud to see you at this position and also happy that you are still on the soil arena. Khalid, your old soil class mate
How much do we have to beat on this fact before a significant amount of humans get it? I learned bout the importance of healthy soils and forests 30 years ago!
Meanwhile, in China, they have discovered a way to convert sand into the soil that could hold moisture in place and be used for panting vegetation for desert greening
Many many countries have been and are experiencing desertification so quickly it boggles the mind. What are we doing to our planet? Our oceans are dying. Our water is polluted. Spraying chemicals on everything is causing untold misery.
Endless wars is also a big contributor to our changing climate, US Military releasing 1.2 Billion metric tons of greenhouse gases if I recalled correctly. Very real connection between war and climate.
Soil isnt the most effective measure of removing co2. If you talk about taking co2 directly out, silicate chemical weathering is literally twice as effective. Soil is good for carbon storage if only the carbon can be sequestered under deep soil, locked with other minerals. It is good, and in general a great deal of carbon is locked beneath soil, and it is also the most accessible way for human to reduce co2 from the atmosphere, it is just not the most effective method naturally, and therefore manipulating it to reduce co2 is not necessarily the most effective method.
Calvin Deng quite the opposite, chemical weathering is beneficial for reducing co2 in the atmosphere, the problem is that it is very difficult to manipulate silicate chemical weathering. The most efficient natural way is mountain erosion and uplift, but manipulating that or emulating it is physically difficult, though not impossibl.
Chemical weathering will kill all life on the planet by blocking out the sun. What an insane, inane idea. It's the mad scientists at work. Is that Bill Gates' plan whilst he lives underground to rise again?
Well, nice, but as long as greed rules the economy, little will be achieved. Plastics, massive extinction, slavery, corporate prisons, forest fires, storms, all lead back to greed by corporations who aren't hold accountable because they own politics. We need solution like this and have a system overhaul.
Valient Six- Says the racist in the youtube comment section of a Ted video who spelled boo with 11 O’s. Are you also bad at English because I don’t know about you but I understood this video perfectly... I’m not entirely sure what you thought was being communicated but I’ll give you some pity and just say you’re racist. Have a nice day.
There is a farmer, Gabe Brown who is returning %.5 carbon to his soil every year, if his practices became standard... Co2 problem solved in a decade, there is no crisis, just a crisis of wise/smart ideas.
There are 2 organizations that are creating labeling systems to inform food purchasers if the food they are buying was grown using Regenerative Agriculture, which improves the soil as Berhe describes. They are the Rodale Institute and Savory Institute. The labeling for Savory will be/is called EOV. That stands for Environmental Outcome Verification. Savory only allows their EOV label to be used if they have actually measured the improvement of the soil used to grow the food. Watch the institute's co-founder's TED talk - Allan Savory: How to Fight Desertification and Reverse Climate Change
Occur swore I watched a couple of scientists get on here and say they spent their whole life preaching what she’s preaching and they claim that they were wrong that the way the soil Hass to be treated is completely different. They’ve actually spent time rehabbing land that was dagger gated let’s see an area that she has been in charge of that she’s reformed that she’s done something with.
Regardless of whether she has or hasn't, the science holds true. If you want to check what she's been doing look into her research, you've got all the details you need in the description.
Great talk. I'd love to know whether the thawing permafrost soil may be able to support forests and farms to offset any negative effects. The soil sounds very fertile.
Grow some soil. Make compost and biochar. Learn about permaculture. Folks are literally turning deserts into food oasis. Love seeing more and more people getting on board.
How about not polluting so much? Stop the one most polluting thing you do as an individual. The one thing that with the biggest impact that an individual can stop doing, is consuming animal products. Your animal product consumption is your biggest contributor to pollution.
Nicolas Sicard - Personne n'en parle I would argue it's more important to consume organic and ethically/environmentally grown or raised food products than it is to consume solely plant based products
mindlesstube refrigeration isnt #1 contribute, that is why. People who are doing the TED talk are often biased in favour of their own research field. They are, in the past, a big contributor to cfc in the atmosphere which destroyed the ozone. But we pretty much phased that out, and the ozone is healing now. So we dont talk about it anymore
Because fridges now no longer contain the same harmful substances they used to. Now it's just another energy demand thing and it would be too unrealistic and unpopular for a scientist to get on stage and demand people stop using fridges... Also you need to appreciate that scientists are highly specialised, this is a video about soil more than climate change.
there was one guy like 3 monts ago that did a ted talk on how they developed a system to get a good amount of temperature drop by irradiating infrared into space, like ancient egyptians unknowingly did to make ice at night in desert zones
Another solution right above our heads too. Seed the clouds for rain (snow) in areas that are cold enough not to all melt in the summer to reflect more sunlight.
Thank you for this lecture, Dr Asmeret. You make many great points. I wonder if you might clarify what you meant about "agriculture chemicals" when you listed them as part of the solution? When I hear that term, I think RoundUp and bee colony collapse.... :-(
Not entirely true. What you get is shale, limestone, and marble. It's called carbonaceous rocks. After 3.5 billion years you have a massive carbon deficit.
What a great and informative video! Soil is, when you think about it, really kind of interesting! Thanks for showing me that. And also for shinning a bit of light in a dim world. Looking forward to a more positive future. As cliche as that sounds. lol
Because I'm assuming English is not her native language based on her accent and interesting word choice. Also she's not giving this speech to a room full of other geological chemists. She's using layman terms to make to more understandable
One of my favorite college courses was Soils. Without arable soil, no crops can be grown. Jungle soils are no good for crops. Burning tropical forests for crops is foolhardy.
Great presentation. Maybe we could stop subsidising ethanol production. And divert the money to subsidising land fallowing. The farmers don't loose income, soil fertility increases, pollution and erosion decrease, biodiversity increases and carbon is locked away in the soil. After a period of time another piece of the farm would be moved into fallowing and the fallowed section moved back into production. This could be a permanent system
Soil and fossil fuel management is important but until and unless the major cause of climate change is addressed there is no sustainable future. Animal agriculture for meat, dairy and eggs releases more green house gasses than all transport combined. More than a hundred billion animals are bred and slaughtered each year for our taste and greed. Deforestation, soil degradation , water pollution, desertification and species extinction are the direct consequences of this unsustainable and unethical industry that is not only destroying the planet and animals but also our health. By simply shifting to a plant based diet we can not only put a break on climate change but start healing our planet and ourselves.
CO2 and higher temperatures increase the greening of the planet, which is good, the earth is getting greener, thanks in part to temperatures and higher CO2. Carbon in the soil is what makes good top soil.
So most important thing we could do is to recycle. We need to separate all recyclables and food waste to different bins. Use the food waste, animal waste and human waste to grow our food and animal food. That is the best and most organic way, That way we don't need fertilizers as much which is better for both our health and the planet. We need to reuse 99% of all the recycled stuff we produce. Make laws for recycling and fines (of at least 1000 euros)for not doing it. We also need to plant way more trees. As much as possible. Also more grass. We need to feed our animals with grass if possible as it's better for our health and the planet than feeding them with soy or corn. We need meat to survive. Changing to electric cars, stopping flying, renewable energy sources are no solution as most countries won't do it and it is bad for the economy. What she is saying is way better and easier way, also cheaper and saves us from conflicts like what happens if we stop buying oil and coal from big producers like China, the Middle-east, India and Russia.
@@guidad542 It is proven in the latest studies that meat is healthier for you than a vegan diet. Also the effect to the climate is the same, what ever we eat + most people will never give up eating meat, so it's not a solution. Most soy grown in Brazil, for example, is sold for vegan food and animal food. Why don't we just give them grass to eat? It's cheaper for us, healthier and saves the planet and my/her way would work. Then you don't need to ship it or the meat from Brazil. You have to buy local, not soy as a vegan, no Tofu then. And don't buy meat that is not produced near you.
@@elmerileinonen What "latest studies" are you talking about. There is no unified "scientific organization" and many studies follow a poor methodology or outright lie. Not saying this is definetely the case, but you have to provide a credible source if you think your argumeny holds any water. However what you said about environmental impact is simply untrue and you can figure this out just by your intuition: Why would eating plants be more environmentally taxing than eating meat, when the cows and pigs can eat tons of soy etc before being eaten by you? And most soy is turned into animal food (and even then, it's not a de facto of a vegan diet anyway)
@@guidad542 I just said that animals shouldn't be eating soy but grass. In the UK and Ireland animal meat is carbon neutral as they are grown with grass, same in most European countries. SO your argument has no truth. My sources are Scientists on RUclips or people who have read them and tell you the truth. Like Mikaela Peterson, Rhonda Patrick, Frank Tufano, also check if any of these people are talking about it with Joe Rogan. There's also a guy who was a vegan but health reasons had to stop Chris Kresser.
@@elmerileinonen eh pop-sci doesn't count since I could as easily point you some vegan "youtube scientists". I'm familiar with the argument that *specific grass-fed animals* are carbon-neutral, but this is still a bit fallacious argument. The percentage of cattle that is raised this way is extremely low and people still regularly eat out and snack on meat of unknown origin. So you're really comparing the best-case scenario of meat-eating (buying exlusively local and grass-fed) with the worst-case vegan diet (buying water demanding products that are also shipped from the other side of the world)
Fantastic, I like the idea, makes total sense and I hope something like this gets widespread awareness. Every little bit helps. However she fails to mention the real culprit of global warming; water vapor in our atmosphere. It accounts for up to 70% of the greenhouse gases and is the main cause of temperature increases. Carbon dioxide (CO2) only accounts for up to 25% of greenhouse gases!!! The others being Methane CH4 and ozone O3. So before we start spending billions of our tax dollars on only 25% of the problem, lets understand that's it's natural for the earth to increase in temperature, it's mostly due to water vapor (i.e. water in our atmosphere, clouds, ocean currents, wind masses, etc.). Getting rid of the carbon problem will only slow down the process, it will not stop it completely.
@Thomas DoubtingWatchtower I agree. Ah, I was actually quoting Spock and I think you had it right with the Next Generation. He always said that. But Aye aye, Captain, I think was from the original Star Trek. I really was not too familiar with the Next Generation.
@Thomas DoubtingWatchtower Water vapor is THE main cause of global warming. The earth has gone thru many cycles of hot and cold. We are headed towards another hot cycle. There is a lot of literature on the subject. People think that Carbon is the only issue when in fact it only accounts for about 25% of the problem.The fact is, if we were to eliminate all the cars, factories and other carbon and methane emissions, and plant trees everywhere, we would not solve the problem. We would only marginally slow it down, because it is natural for the earth to be going thru these cycles. There was a time when we had no ice caps (Arctic or Antartica) and this was millions of years before man's intervention.
If you live in a high income country like Europe, Russia or north America, then pay for a win-win-win project that is supported by organizations like www.choose.today. you pay people in poor areas to plant trees = win for the climate. Win for their local climate, win for their local economic situation. Win, because they see that planting trees can earn money, not only cutting them down !
You gotta be pretty stupid to not see the association of global warming and the industrial revolution. Like pretty stupid. Dangerously stupid. The kind of stupid that bring egomaniacs like Trump to power
@@gorgthesalty those studies are very limited that you're talkin about it was only seven different places on Earth and it was the ice caps a few old sea creatures so you're going to tell me that seven places are going to predict the whole. Plus carbon dating can be thrown off by pretty much anything also. All theories
Imagine what would happen after 3.5 billion years of this. You would go from 3000 ppm to 150 ppm. 100ppm is the threshold that would have crashed the existence of all plant life on the earth.
At 1.05 I stopped listening because I knew what she will heve to say next, CO2 is vital for plants and trees growing and we need more of it. At present moment it's about o.4.2 in the atmosphere, first we have heat rising and CO2 fallows, and even if they tried you will not have 0 emissions, if you have a green house growing plants if you pumped CO2 in to it the plants and crops will flourish, plants love CO2. Anyway the biggest problem we have is geoengnering with chemtrails that are visible on day time, but no one mentions anything about it especially the global warming moaners, global warming is and always was a scam. Money making business for governments and cooperates alike.
I would like to hear about how permanent soil which apparently stors an amount of Megan gas, and if we reach a point of defrosting and by this relishing metan than are much more serious than carbon releasing from trees and what about population growth. More meat are ,or protein i should say. Sorry I’m a bit sceptical about this. We all know it was a major fail nearly erase the Forrest. Ice are still melting, mammals are instinct in a rate we should be aware of as a problem. This is a tripping point or point of no return, and im a bit sceptical. I do think we need to go back to Bertrand Russell. It’s about 70 years since he did dyed. But he apparently as usual foresaw some of these problems are provided us with solutions. And until now we have done exactly the opposite as he suggested. Do read about this amassing and admirable man and dig into his books. Sincerely
The only thing you can do about the natural cycles of Grand solar maximums and minimums is to adapt. You can't stop these natural cycles. He who doesn't adapt will die.
Wow please don't stop to make us better, but words are good but actions are way better, let' start to show the exemple to speak of it and spread mentality, together, we can do it
Scott Henrie look at the patents on the website and then go to the United States patent office they start in the early 1900s till today Or you can go to the United Nations website. Or you can go to Oxford University England
Where is the physical soil or landspace that is gonna sequester 20 Billion tons of human generated atmospheric CO2 which is added each year (net) over & above the natural historic carbon cycle & the 40% absorbed by the oceans.?? That of course is IF we could extract/drawdown such a quantity just to cap the annual accumulation of atmospheric CO2.
when plants open their stomata (pores to absorb CO2), they release water vapor. because CO2 levels today are so low, plants are far less water efficient than they would be in their natural CO2 levels which are well above 1000ppm.
We should stop hauling and disposing of vegetation trimmings and instead run them through (solar charged) electric mulching machines and spread on the spot.
So trees. Yeah sorry but that is not enough. We need carbon capture tech. Don't get me wrong trees are great, but they are not going to be enough and take far too long to grow to deal with this most imminant crisis. We need to get our head out of the clouds and find real solutions. The tech already exsists it just isn't cheap enough. More funding can solve that, no ammount of funding will make trees solve the problem. 60 years ago maybe but not now.
@@gorgthesalty I do believe Bambo would be impractical in most climates. Also even if you planeted the right thing in the right place everywhere I think the catastophic amount of resourses that would require are so far beyond the pale anyone with a resonable mind would scoff. I'm looking for realistic solutions people would consider actually paying for. Carbon capture tech exsists it just needs to be refined more. The cumbia answers of planting trees and more efficiant lightbulbs are not going to do the job now, it's too late for that. In fact by the time we spotted the problem it was already to late for that.
@@johnsnyder9420 Thats wonderful but not even 10% close enough to what we need. Grasslands will solve the problem in 400 years, unfortunately we have less than 40
~6:40 She informs us that carbon in the soil makes plants grow better but does not mention that carbon in the air also makes plants grow better. it is false to think that carbon is a villain since as the carbon in the air goes up vegetation and food grow easier and faster. Over the past 40 years as carbon went up to 407 ppm the earths total vegetation went up ~20% and now millions of people are not starving around the world as they had been starving 40 years ago when CO2 was lower. What we should be focused on is having clean air, water and cheap energy that is used efficiently for the greatest benefit to humanity. ~0.0004% of the atmosphere is carbon at the elevation of the test. It is very highly unlikely that such a minuscule amount of carbon is causing the almost nonexistent rise in temperature over the past 20 years. If you think CO2 is a problem go Vegan, buy an EV and support electric buses,trains and taxis all good actions to reduce CO2 and for many other reasons.
Agree 100%. I believed in climate emergency for many years and did not question what I read until a dear, long-time friend said that our climate goes through natural cycles. What, I said? That's when I delved deeper and discovered it's all a lie having documented all the articles disproving 'emergency'. Eg, polar bears are now thriving after their numbers were dwindling due to being hunted. Ice caps are not melting at an alarming rate. If they were, we would all be under water now. David Attenborough is a liar and doctored his 'walrus' doco . Albatross numbers are dwindling due to 2 mile-long fishing nets (bycatch) and enormous numbers of huge mice are eating them on land. However, if people like this woman and many others are doing something constructive for the planet, I applaud them (even if they are sold on 'it's an emergency, folks'). I bought trees for the Amazon at 4Amazonia on Facebook and using a search engine ecosia.org with every 45 searches paying for a tree.Ecosia are 100% transparent and have planted millions of trees thus far. Local communities are involved. This is wonderful. Protesting has little to do with the climate. It's more about destroying our way of life and NB [they] have no contingency plans whatsoever.
Yes, it is part of the carbon sycle. But by increasing the amount of healthy soil and pla ts, we increase the amount of carbon that is bound in those things at every one moment=there is less in the air
I have been composting for thirty years. I have wonderful soil and my crop yeids are above average. I have offered to teach CITY FOLKS how easy it is many ties but they are All talk and no action. Go nike with Copmosting.... JUST DO IT. I will help anyone. If you want to really super charge the soil just add worms. I raise and sell over a million pounds of worms a year........ Humans have really lost touch with nature, I love it ..
When we put fungicides, herbicides and pesticides,and airplanes exhaust into the farm soils could we all be eating tainted crops that cause cancer and other desease, and world overweight?
Everyone raise your right hand and promise to never again purchase an ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicle or tool. We should all be using electric vehicles charged from our home, business and covered parking rooftop solar arrays making nearly everything we do 100% solar powered including charging our vehicles. Everyone should be getting proposals from 3+ local solar PV installers and suggesting the same for our places of work, our grocery stores, our movie theater parking lots, and everywhere else. The cost per distance driven is ridiculously cheap when you are your own solar fuel station (less than $0.01 USD per mile)! #nobrainer We cannot afford to continue to burn fossil fuels!
I will join the 4p1000 movement. www.4p1000.org/ I believe in soil but I didn't know it was this important. She is sharing the most pivotal idea in the world today. Soil management may be the key to lowering carbon in the atmosphere.

@@evino7491 I just feel your out of touch and that whole garden in the city thing has been around forever. I am basically saying that you are telling me to have a kid then leave it.
@@colins1358 did your positions just flip. You originally argued that you couldn't find a place to plant things. I told you a place to plant things and you responded by saying everyone knows about thoughs plases, but you would rather never plant a tree then plant one everyone can enjoy. What is your position Sir.
@@colins1358 have you seen the news about the amazon rainforest on fire, or have you looked at all the land for businesses that's*only* used for grass? This search will find news articles about the first topic mentioned. goo.gl/search/amazon+rainforest+on+fire
I feel like people just watch these videos and encourage others to do it but they never do it themselves
Thanks Asmeret. I learned a lot.
There's a Doctor Magid Ali who talks about the metaphor of the gut being a sort of garden for our person, where we absorb nutrients. I'm grateful for your presentation.
We must recognize this is a very real problem. I live in a medium-sized town in Tennessee. And in the last 8 years, we have expanded the city limits. We have cut down over 15,000 Acres of forest and trees fields and marshes. The average ambient temperature it's nearly one and a half degree higher than it was one year ago. I can personally feel the difference driving from my work which is nothing but concrete roads in a few trees. 6 miles to my house and the temperature will drop by 2 degrees or more. Because there is no structures there's no parking lots it's nothing but forest and Fields. It is our duty to looking to expand vertically versus horizontally. We must convince Society to replant what we have destroyed. And that vertical construction is the wave of the future the salvation of our planet
Great idea. This could work if we manage to re-generate the soil in the farming and forestry areas. Good soil needs moisture, we need a system of small irrigation channels for that.
Holland and Arles in France is a good example for such a landscape, where wetland farms were created by humans and the soil is more productive than ever. They grow all the possible thins in there. It's like Holland in the south of France.
You are so right, people need to listen and act to what you say lady. Your message is so possitive..we need to plant more yrees etc.
This sounds like something reasonable to address the issue. Thank you!
As a conservationist i don't understand why environmentalists always go after grazing. Its well known overgrazing is bad, but grazing at light, moderate, or sometimes heavy rates for short periods of time, such as hollistic grazing management is beneficial for the soil. So a couple of things I want to say is there are ecosystems that need grazing to maintain fragile habitat, especially when one considers control of invasive species. Also grazing is important part of nutrient cycling, and accelerating the process of breaking down above ground carbon to be stored in the soil. Everybody says the solution is to plant trees because they sequester the most carbon, but nobody talks proper management of our forests. How a dense canopy of trees has lead to unhealthy forests that are likely to burn up. As far as I can tell most environmental activists steal the limelight from what is real science only so they can push an agenda to make themselves feel good that they did something.
This was really interesting, thank you! I’m probably going to go off on a diatribe here, bc I appreciate this information deeply, and anything like this, bc education on this is so very important, it’s invaluable, and I don’t think most people actually understand just how serious this problem is sometimes. I like the suggestions here, just as I like so many of the suggestions I hear from scientists of probably more than a dozen fields, *but when it comes to climate change, the only solution, the solution that comes before all others, is political action.* All of us DO have a role to play, I agree, but what worries me is that many of my more liberal friends, and/or liberals I hear/see talk about this issue, are too concerned with the lifestyle choices and behaviors of individuals, such as going vegan, using paper straws, planting trees, getting hybrid or electric cars, etc, as if that’s really the key to solving the global climate crisis, and it’s just not.
I’m not against any of these things in practice, or any other ethical steps that an individual may take to lessen their personal carbon footprint, but my problem is that my very well meaning liberal friends who think this is the best way forward are typically overlooking, and/or often unaware of, the power of people coming together to collectively demand, nay, *to force change.* This isn’t just my concern bc I think the left, as in leftists/progressives, have a better approach, though that’s obviously a part of it.. I think it’s the only approach, *because the personal carbon reduction effort isn’t even close to being enough to address the problem.* That alone certainly isn’t the only reason we must organize and act collectively, but it *should* be reason enough for liberals (and any conservatives/right wingers who accept the science) to consider a more radical approach to the problem, bc if we accept the science, then we’re implicitly accepting that massive changes have to happen, and that they have to happen VERY soon... as in we have about a decade to start acting, if we want to prevent serious problems. If you’re expecting market solutions to suddenly show up and save us before things start getting way worse, then I don’t think you understand the problem.
I’m not trying to pick on anybody, or say that everyone should be thinking about this issue *exactly* like myself/other leftists, but I am absolutely suggesting that the solutions being offered by leftists (or progressives, if you prefer) are the the only solutions that actually address this problem to it’s fullest extent, or at least that the best plans I’ve seen for addressing this problem, by far, are coming from progressives/leftists, primarily bc they’re the only people addressing every relevant part of this problem. Looking at this issue through a critical lens (which we’re hopefully always doing, as much as is possible) must mean examining all relevant contextual aspects related to it, which means *we absolutely have to be thinking about the various systems and structures that produced this problem, and that reproduce and sustain it, and what kind of systemic and structural changes could and/or would be sufficient to remedy this problem, both short term and long term.* When one truly does this, they will necessarily come to the conclusion that we need broad systemic and structural changes to address climate change, and perhaps more importantly, they’ll understand that individual action simply is not going to save us, and that we need to band together to demand change, no matter what it takes, bc failure means no future for our children and grandchildren, let alone great suffering for those of us who are still going to be around a few decades. As far as the “how” you force that change, just look at the history of the last 200 or so years: you organize, and engage in mass protest, sit ins, strikes, and any method of direct action necessary to force what is just and necessary.. and make no mistake, this is an issue of justice for humanity/life in general vs a grossly unjust status quo that values profit uber alles...
Anyway, I’ll leave it there. I could have gone on and been more specific, but this is already too long as it is.. I’m not trying to tell anyone what or how to think, but I am suggesting listening to how the far left talks about this, reading what they think about it, and understanding why leftists/progressives are so insistent on systemic and structural changes as being an absolutely necessity to solve this problem. If anyone is curious, just ask, and I’ll gladly point you in the direction of relevant content on this matter. Let’s solve this problem, y’all. Remember, there’s no “Planet B”...

Absolutely vital information and eye opening to say the least. Thank you!
Loved your presentation, thank you! 💖😎
So glad TED is promoting healthy soil! FYI "Soil Solutions to Climate Problems" is a 4 minute video (narrated by Michael Pollan) that was screened at the Paris Climate Conference in 2015: @
Wow what a great presentation, am very very much delighted and proud to see you at this position and also happy that you are still on the soil arena. Khalid, your old soil class mate
So nice to hear from you, Khalid. Thank you so much. I hope you are doing well.
How much do we have to beat on this fact before a significant amount of humans get it? I learned bout the importance of healthy soils and forests 30 years ago!
It's a large part of Natural Sequence Farming which has brought ecosystems back to life.
EcoCentric Homestead congrats, you’re a moronic cult member. Idiot,
I'd really like to know more about the perennial plants that would be the best for this.
I think she means prostate and ovarian cancer..

Technically any.
But yes some are better than others.
It depends on the environment though.
@V for Vegan Are there any perennial legumes?
@V for Vegan In northeastern Brazil. It's a really hot climate here.
Thank you for this great talk!!!
Watch "Kiss the ground" for more. Excellent documentary. Soil is a common. A precious one...
Meanwhile, in China, they have discovered a way to convert sand into the soil that could hold moisture in place and be used for panting vegetation for desert greening
That was years ago. I wonder what happened to that..
Oh really? Pretty cool Ima go check that out.
That is what followers of Permaculture have unwittingly been practicing.Right on!
I nearly soiled myself listening to this.
Many many countries have been and are experiencing desertification so quickly it boggles the mind. What are we doing to our planet? Our oceans are dying. Our water is polluted. Spraying chemicals on everything is causing untold misery.
Endless wars is also a big contributor to our changing climate, US Military releasing 1.2 Billion metric tons of greenhouse gases if I recalled correctly. Very real connection between war and climate.
I wouldn’t be surprised once the soil heals that the climate change matter almost completely disappears.
Soil isnt the most effective measure of removing co2. If you talk about taking co2 directly out, silicate chemical weathering is literally twice as effective.
Soil is good for carbon storage if only the carbon can be sequestered under deep soil, locked with other minerals.
It is good, and in general a great deal of carbon is locked beneath soil, and it is also the most accessible way for human to reduce co2 from the atmosphere, it is just not the most effective method naturally, and therefore manipulating it to reduce co2 is not necessarily the most effective method.
kugreymon should we reduce the process of chemical weathering? How do we do that?
Calvin Deng quite the opposite, chemical weathering is beneficial for reducing co2 in the atmosphere, the problem is that it is very difficult to manipulate silicate chemical weathering. The most efficient natural way is mountain erosion and uplift, but manipulating that or emulating it is physically difficult, though not impossibl.
Chemical weathering will kill all life on the planet by blocking out the sun. What an insane, inane idea. It's the mad scientists at work. Is that Bill Gates' plan whilst he lives underground to rise again?
Very insightful. Well done.
Warming is good, 20 times more people die from cold than from heat. CO2 is good, the more the merrier.
Well, nice, but as long as greed rules the economy, little will be achieved. Plastics, massive extinction, slavery, corporate prisons, forest fires, storms, all lead back to greed by corporations who aren't hold accountable because they own politics. We need solution like this and have a system overhaul.
Thanks for pani foundation in maharashtra India. Hundreds of villages created natural water bodies to restore nature.
I love the smell of soil on my hands... got a cologne "Dirt" one time it was great
Amazing TED talk!
Um this woman for president please
Booooooooooo! She can't even speak English
Valient Six racist much?
Kaitlyne Rowcliff i know cuz a woman can think !!
Valient Six-
Says the racist in the youtube comment section of a Ted video who spelled boo with 11 O’s.
Are you also bad at English because I don’t know about you but I understood this video perfectly... I’m not entirely sure what you thought was being communicated but I’ll give you some pity and just say you’re racist. Have a nice day.
Maybe "islam is right about women".
There is a farmer, Gabe Brown who is returning %.5 carbon to his soil every year, if his practices became standard... Co2 problem solved in a decade, there is no crisis, just a crisis of wise/smart ideas.
There are 2 organizations that are creating labeling systems to inform food purchasers if the food they are buying was grown using Regenerative Agriculture, which improves the soil as Berhe describes. They are the Rodale Institute and Savory Institute. The labeling for Savory will be/is called EOV. That stands for Environmental Outcome Verification. Savory only allows their EOV label to be used if they have actually measured the improvement of the soil used to grow the food. Watch the institute's co-founder's TED talk - Allan Savory: How to Fight Desertification and Reverse Climate Change
Occur swore I watched a couple of scientists get on here and say they spent their whole life preaching what she’s preaching and they claim that they were wrong that the way the soil Hass to be treated is completely different. They’ve actually spent time rehabbing land that was dagger gated let’s see an area that she has been in charge of that she’s reformed that she’s done something with.
Regardless of whether she has or hasn't, the science holds true. If you want to check what she's been doing look into her research, you've got all the details you need in the description.
I learned A LOT! thank you
Great talk. I'd love to know whether the thawing permafrost soil may be able to support forests and farms to offset any negative effects. The soil sounds very fertile.
Grow some soil. Make compost and biochar. Learn about permaculture. Folks are literally turning deserts into food oasis. Love seeing more and more people getting on board.
How about not polluting so much?
Stop the one most polluting thing you do as an individual.
The one thing that with the biggest impact that an individual can stop doing, is consuming animal products.
Your animal product consumption is your biggest contributor to pollution.
Nicolas Sicard - Personne n'en parle I would argue it's more important to consume organic and ethically/environmentally grown or raised food products than it is to consume solely plant based products
I agree. No more mobile phones and disposable electronics. Stop using Amazon. It's time to Quadruple tax!
There was a ted talk saying refrigeration is the #1 climate contribute, why no ted talks explain solutions to that.
Because it's not "sexy", aka "hip" to talk about.
mindlesstube refrigeration isnt #1 contribute, that is why. People who are doing the TED talk are often biased in favour of their own research field.
They are, in the past, a big contributor to cfc in the atmosphere which destroyed the ozone. But we pretty much phased that out, and the ozone is healing now. So we dont talk about it anymore
Because fridges now no longer contain the same harmful substances they used to. Now it's just another energy demand thing and it would be too unrealistic and unpopular for a scientist to get on stage and demand people stop using fridges... Also you need to appreciate that scientists are highly specialised, this is a video about soil more than climate change.
there was one guy like 3 monts ago that did a ted talk on how they developed a system to get a good amount of temperature drop by irradiating infrared into space, like ancient egyptians unknowingly did to make ice at night in desert zones
They've already made plans to get rid of HFC's.
Another solution right above our heads too. Seed the clouds for rain (snow) in areas that are cold enough not to all melt in the summer to reflect more sunlight.
Thank you for this lecture, Dr Asmeret. You make many great points. I wonder if you might clarify what you meant about "agriculture chemicals" when you listed them as part of the solution? When I hear that term, I think RoundUp and bee colony collapse.... :-(
That's very WONDERFUL!!!
Interesting thoughts. What about NASA's forecast for sun spot cycle 24 and 25?
When carbon is trapped in the ground in large pockets we take it out in coal and oil.
MCPrimetime is oil the result off the carbon collected by soil that has been concentrated with heat over years?
Not entirely true. What you get is shale, limestone, and marble. It's called carbonaceous rocks. After 3.5 billion years you have a massive carbon deficit.
Proudly to say that a women from Eritrea/Ethiopian 🇪🇷🇪🇹 make it with clear and understanding presentation
What a great and informative video! Soil is, when you think about it, really kind of interesting! Thanks for showing me that. And also for shinning a bit of light in a dim world. Looking forward to a more positive future. As cliche as that sounds. lol
She explains in a slow and painful way.
humanity is clearly very stupid and slow, so it's ok.
Because I'm assuming English is not her native language based on her accent and interesting word choice. Also she's not giving this speech to a room full of other geological chemists. She's using layman terms to make to more understandable
Great talk, very insightful, thank you
One of my favorite college courses was Soils. Without arable soil, no crops can be grown. Jungle soils are no good for crops. Burning tropical forests for crops is foolhardy.
I haven't finished watching this yet , but in a few minutes I will :3
This was so interesting
You didn't finish watching it yet, or at all.
Every bit helps, good healthy soil is no doubt essential along with unpolluted water. 🙂
Great presentation. Maybe we could stop subsidising ethanol production. And divert the money to subsidising land fallowing. The farmers don't loose income, soil fertility increases, pollution and erosion decrease, biodiversity increases and carbon is locked away in the soil. After a period of time another piece of the farm would be moved into fallowing and the fallowed section moved back into production. This could be a permanent system
Soil and fossil fuel management is important but until and unless the major cause of climate change is addressed there is no sustainable future. Animal agriculture for meat, dairy and eggs releases more green house gasses than all transport combined. More than a hundred billion animals are bred and slaughtered each year for our taste and greed. Deforestation, soil degradation , water pollution, desertification and species extinction are the direct consequences of this unsustainable and unethical industry that is not only destroying the planet and animals but also our health. By simply shifting to a plant based diet we can not only put a break on climate change but start healing our planet and ourselves.
Has anyone notice the word “TED” has a face in it =D
NOP D:
Mihir Patel look at the TED logo on stage. The ED sideways makes this =D
THATS WHY US FARMERS ARE SO INPORTANT
@Mr Cabot You are correct, but that is precisely WHY U.S. farmers are so important, fool...
CO2 and higher temperatures increase the greening of the planet, which is good, the earth is getting greener, thanks in part to temperatures and higher CO2. Carbon in the soil is what makes good top soil.
People need to see this.
So most important thing we could do is to recycle. We need to separate all recyclables and food waste to different bins. Use the food waste, animal waste and human waste to grow our food and animal food. That is the best and most organic way, That way we don't need fertilizers as much which is better for both our health and the planet. We need to reuse 99% of all the recycled stuff we produce. Make laws for recycling and fines (of at least 1000 euros)for not doing it.
We also need to plant way more trees. As much as possible. Also more grass. We need to feed our animals with grass if possible as it's better for our health and the planet than feeding them with soy or corn. We need meat to survive.
Changing to electric cars, stopping flying, renewable energy sources are no solution as most countries won't do it and it is bad for the economy. What she is saying is way better and easier way, also cheaper and saves us from conflicts like what happens if we stop buying oil and coal from big producers like China, the Middle-east, India and Russia.
The single most effective way is to follow a plant-based diet. Other solutions do far less than you think
@@guidad542 It is proven in the latest studies that meat is healthier for you than a vegan diet. Also the effect to the climate is the same, what ever we eat + most people will never give up eating meat, so it's not a solution. Most soy grown in Brazil, for example, is sold for vegan food and animal food. Why don't we just give them grass to eat? It's cheaper for us, healthier and saves the planet and my/her way would work. Then you don't need to ship it or the meat from Brazil. You have to buy local, not soy as a vegan, no Tofu then. And don't buy meat that is not produced near you.
@@elmerileinonen What "latest studies" are you talking about. There is no unified "scientific organization" and many studies follow a poor methodology or outright lie. Not saying this is definetely the case, but you have to provide a credible source if you think your argumeny holds any water.
However what you said about environmental impact is simply untrue and you can figure this out just by your intuition: Why would eating plants be more environmentally taxing than eating meat, when the cows and pigs can eat tons of soy etc before being eaten by you? And most soy is turned into animal food (and even then, it's not a de facto of a vegan diet anyway)
@@guidad542 I just said that animals shouldn't be eating soy but grass. In the UK and Ireland animal meat is carbon neutral as they are grown with grass, same in most European countries. SO your argument has no truth.
My sources are Scientists on RUclips or people who have read them and tell you the truth. Like Mikaela Peterson, Rhonda Patrick, Frank Tufano, also check if any of these people are talking about it with Joe Rogan. There's also a guy who was a vegan but health reasons had to stop Chris Kresser.
@@elmerileinonen eh pop-sci doesn't count since I could as easily point you some vegan "youtube scientists". I'm familiar with the argument that *specific grass-fed animals* are carbon-neutral, but this is still a bit fallacious argument. The percentage of cattle that is raised this way is extremely low and people still regularly eat out and snack on meat of unknown origin. So you're really comparing the best-case scenario of meat-eating (buying exlusively local and grass-fed) with the worst-case vegan diet (buying water demanding products that are also shipped from the other side of the world)
Fantastic, I like the idea, makes total sense and I hope something like this gets widespread awareness. Every little bit helps. However she fails to mention the real culprit of global warming; water vapor in our atmosphere. It accounts for up to 70% of the greenhouse gases and is the main cause of temperature increases. Carbon dioxide (CO2) only accounts for up to 25% of greenhouse gases!!! The others being Methane CH4 and ozone O3. So before we start spending billions of our tax dollars on only 25% of the problem, lets understand that's it's natural for the earth to increase in temperature, it's mostly due to water vapor (i.e. water in our atmosphere, clouds, ocean currents, wind masses, etc.). Getting rid of the carbon problem will only slow down the process, it will not stop it completely.
@Thomas DoubtingWatchtower Very logical, Captain. All my sensors indicate that you are correct. The only variables here are the man-made ones.
@Thomas DoubtingWatchtower Aye aye, Captain!
@Thomas DoubtingWatchtower I agree. Ah, I was actually quoting Spock and I think you had it right with the Next Generation. He always said that. But Aye aye, Captain, I think was from the original Star Trek. I really was not too familiar with the Next Generation.
@Thomas DoubtingWatchtower Water vapor is THE main cause of global warming. The earth has gone thru many cycles of hot and cold. We are headed towards another hot cycle. There is a lot of literature on the subject. People think that Carbon is the only issue when in fact it only accounts for about 25% of the problem.The fact is, if we were to eliminate all the cars, factories and other carbon and methane emissions, and plant trees everywhere, we would not solve the problem. We would only marginally slow it down, because it is natural for the earth to be going thru these cycles. There was a time when we had no ice caps (Arctic or Antartica) and this was millions of years before man's intervention.
@Thomas DoubtingWatchtower There is no proof of warming.
Atantartica was once tropical with palm trees.
Alright Ali-G(ina) Respekt! All in all, a great talk too!
If you live in a high income country like Europe, Russia or north America, then pay for a win-win-win project that is supported by organizations like www.choose.today. you pay people in poor areas to plant trees = win for the climate. Win for their local climate, win for their local economic situation. Win, because they see that planting trees can earn money, not only cutting them down !
Upload videos with subtitles please
Didnt know permafrost was a storage keeper itself. Just makes the consequences even greater.
The climate is always changing
You gotta be pretty stupid to not see the association of global warming and the industrial revolution. Like pretty stupid. Dangerously stupid. The kind of stupid that bring egomaniacs like Trump to power
@@gorgthesalty those studies are very limited that you're talkin about it was only seven different places on Earth and it was the ice caps a few old sea creatures so you're going to tell me that seven places are going to predict the whole. Plus carbon dating can be thrown off by pretty much anything also. All theories
This is great
You didn't finish watching it yet, or at all, you pathetic loser.
Imagine what would happen after 3.5 billion years of this. You would go from 3000 ppm to 150 ppm. 100ppm is the threshold that would have crashed the existence of all plant life on the earth.
At 1.05 I stopped listening because I knew what she will heve to say next, CO2 is vital for plants and trees growing and we need more of it. At present moment it's about o.4.2 in the atmosphere, first we have heat rising and CO2 fallows, and even if they tried you will not have 0 emissions, if you have a green house growing plants if you pumped CO2 in to it the plants and crops will flourish, plants love CO2. Anyway the biggest problem we have is geoengnering with chemtrails that are visible on day time, but no one mentions anything about it especially the global warming moaners, global warming is and always was a scam. Money making business for governments and cooperates alike.
I would like to hear about how permanent soil which apparently stors an amount of Megan gas, and if we reach a point of defrosting and by this relishing metan than are much more serious than carbon releasing from trees and what about population growth. More meat are ,or protein i should say. Sorry I’m a bit sceptical about this. We all know it was a major fail nearly erase the Forrest. Ice are still melting, mammals are instinct in a rate we should be aware of as a problem. This is a tripping point or point of no return, and im a bit sceptical. I do think we need to go back to Bertrand Russell. It’s about 70 years since he did dyed. But he apparently as usual foresaw some of these problems are provided us with solutions. And until now we have done exactly the opposite as he suggested. Do read about this amassing and admirable man and dig into his books. Sincerely
Am I the only who had to use this for a bh project?
정말 많을 것을 배워요 감사합니다 :)
The only thing you can do about the natural cycles of Grand solar maximums and minimums is to adapt. You can't stop these natural cycles.
He who doesn't adapt will die.
I liked this ✔️🙂
Nice
Wow please don't stop to make us better, but words are good but actions are way better, let' start to show the exemple to speak of it and spread mentality, together, we can do it
Water, ocean, get the soil absorbing the C02, not just trees sucking it in.
Very interesting, thankyou.
Stop Geoengineering weather programs
Do you have any links to *several reliable sources of facts* about the topic?
Geoengineeringwatch.org

Scott Henrie look at the patents on the website and then go to the United States patent office they start in the early 1900s till today
Or you can go to the United Nations website. Or you can go to Oxford University England
Believe what you want because nothing will change your mind
Sergey and Nikita Simov partially agree with this speech.
Proud of you gual Erie.
Where is the physical soil or landspace that is gonna sequester 20 Billion tons of human generated atmospheric CO2 which is added each year (net) over & above the natural historic carbon cycle & the 40% absorbed by the oceans.?? That of course is IF we could extract/drawdown such a quantity just to cap the annual accumulation of atmospheric CO2.
This is amazing
You didn't finish watching it yet, or at all, you pathetic loser.
when plants open their stomata (pores to absorb CO2), they release water vapor. because CO2 levels today are so low, plants are far less water efficient than they would be in their natural CO2 levels which are well above 1000ppm.
Do you want the climate that corresponds to that level?
Another psuedoscientist...yawn.
We should stop hauling and disposing of vegetation trimmings and instead run them through (solar charged) electric mulching machines and spread on the spot.
You forgot to mention geoengineering when you started listing things that degrade soil.
So trees. Yeah sorry but that is not enough. We need carbon capture tech. Don't get me wrong trees are great, but they are not going to be enough and take far too long to grow to deal with this most imminant crisis. We need to get our head out of the clouds and find real solutions. The tech already exsists it just isn't cheap enough. More funding can solve that, no ammount of funding will make trees solve the problem. 60 years ago maybe but not now.
Frank Delgrosso not trees but grasslands
Gabe Brown Alan Savory Joel Saladin and others are doing this today, restoring topsoils, reversing desertification while improving farm profitability
@@gorgthesalty I do believe Bambo would be impractical in most climates. Also even if you planeted the right thing in the right place everywhere I think the catastophic amount of resourses that would require are so far beyond the pale anyone with a resonable mind would scoff. I'm looking for realistic solutions people would consider actually paying for. Carbon capture tech exsists it just needs to be refined more. The cumbia answers of planting trees and more efficiant lightbulbs are not going to do the job now, it's too late for that. In fact by the time we spotted the problem it was already to late for that.

This woman has a child's understanding of science.
~6:40 She informs us that carbon in the soil makes plants grow better but does not mention that carbon in the air also makes plants grow better. it is false to think that carbon is a villain since as the carbon in the air goes up vegetation and food grow easier and faster. Over the past 40 years as carbon went up to 407 ppm the earths total vegetation went up ~20% and now millions of people are not starving around the world as they had been starving 40 years ago when CO2 was lower. What we should be focused on is having clean air, water and cheap energy that is used efficiently for the greatest benefit to humanity. ~0.0004% of the atmosphere is carbon at the elevation of the test. It is very highly unlikely that such a minuscule amount of carbon is causing the almost nonexistent rise in temperature over the past 20 years. If you think CO2 is a problem go Vegan, buy an EV and support electric buses,trains and taxis all good actions to reduce CO2 and for many other reasons.
Agree 100%. I believed in climate emergency for many years and did not question what I read until a dear, long-time friend said that our climate goes through natural cycles. What, I said? That's when I delved deeper and discovered it's all a lie having documented all the articles disproving 'emergency'. Eg, polar bears are now thriving after their numbers were dwindling due to being hunted. Ice caps are not melting at an alarming rate. If they were, we would all be under water now. David Attenborough is a liar and doctored his 'walrus' doco . Albatross numbers are dwindling due to 2 mile-long fishing nets (bycatch) and enormous numbers of huge mice are eating them on land. However, if people like this woman and many others are doing something constructive for the planet, I applaud them (even if they are sold on 'it's an emergency, folks'). I bought trees for the Amazon at 4Amazonia on Facebook and using a search engine ecosia.org with every 45 searches paying for a tree.Ecosia are 100% transparent and have planted millions of trees thus far. Local communities are involved. This is wonderful. Protesting has little to do with the climate. It's more about destroying our way of life and NB [they] have no contingency plans whatsoever.
Wouldn’t the carbon in the soil be released back into the air?
Yes, it is part of the carbon sycle. But by increasing the amount of healthy soil and pla ts, we increase the amount of carbon that is bound in those things at every one moment=there is less in the air
So how can I start this?
I have been composting for thirty years. I have wonderful soil and my crop yeids are above average. I have offered to teach CITY FOLKS how easy it is many ties but they are All talk and no action.
Go nike with Copmosting.... JUST DO IT. I will help anyone. If you want to really super charge the soil just add worms. I raise and sell over a million pounds of worms a year........
Humans have really lost touch with nature, I love it ..
When we put fungicides, herbicides and pesticides,and airplanes exhaust into the farm soils could we all be eating tainted crops that cause cancer and other desease, and world overweight?
They have a new word for it: "Athmosheric warming"
I was interested right up until she started saying Humans are responsible... they are NOT!!, this woman has a bit more researching to do.

There is very little "science" on that channel but a whole lot of "New Age Woo-Woo"

Or use geothermal energy
Everyone raise your right hand and promise to never again purchase an ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicle or tool.
We should all be using electric vehicles charged from our home, business and covered parking rooftop solar arrays making nearly everything we do 100% solar powered including charging our vehicles.
Everyone should be getting proposals from 3+ local solar PV installers and suggesting the same for our places of work, our grocery stores, our movie theater parking lots, and everywhere else.
The cost per distance driven is ridiculously cheap when you are your own solar fuel station (less than $0.01 USD per mile)! #nobrainer
We cannot afford to continue to burn fossil fuels!
I will join the 4p1000 movement.

I believe in soil but I didn't know it was this important. She is sharing the most pivotal idea in the world today. Soil management may be the key to lowering carbon in the atmosphere.
Co2 is good why reduce it?
I agree, thanks Asmeret, I also learned a great deal! I am ready to learn more, next class ;-)
