My name is Jeffrey B Ramsey, and I stand for Katherine you guys, and I'm proud of it ! ❤ you are the very wonderful people who are the catalyst for civilization facing up to our responsibility to keep this planet habitable! Love and respect you, Katherine so truly !
Very fun and interesting video. I really like Neil. I agree that subsidies to fossil industries is a big problem that needs to be immediately adressed and Carbon needs to be very highly taxed. Respectfully, I believe some of the evidences put forward might be a bit more complex than indicated : - Solar panels are really cheap -> Yes, however this has a lot to do to the fact that they are built in China and oil and gaz is used for building them (collecting materials, manufacturing transport, installation). I am not sure that without Fossil, it would be as cheap. - Electric cars -> They need way more metal than gas cars In my opinion, simply trying to continue consuming as much (energy, transportation) is never going to really solve the climate issue. We need to decrease our consumption significantly on all levels.
Note: the cover crop shud not be "plowed" as in tilled back into the ground. Tilling releases carbon from the soil, disturbs the important microorganisms in the soil, and increases soil erosion. Instead there are techniques like crimping/rolling that dont disturb the soil.
Finally someone that makes sense. Primary sector accounts for 4% of the value we create, and the secondary for 20%, so don't tell us its not possible to solve the problem. We just have to go up on the supply chain, not down. Regulate industries, period.
and they would pass the costs on to consumers as always.. Economy would fail. Poor would suffer and rich would worm out of paying as always. Not easy.. China, India and Russia will never become a clean green as America and EU.. What to do? Industry is the main problem true..
@@Nudnik1 Yes they would pass costs to consumers, but remember they only account for 4% of the value we create, so do the math. You can double the costs in resources and get only 4% of inflation from it. Problem is very few people understand how inflation works, and tend to pen price increases to supply and demand interactions, when in reality most of the price movements come from monopolistic pricing which have nothing to do with costs, demand or supply, For example, with an 8% inflation rate to be explained by resource price increases they would have to have increased the prices 3X, but not only that, we would have to be witnessing an increase of the % of the primary sector in our economies, from 4% to around 12%, which we are not.
Great subject of where we are at, where we want to go, and how to get there. Katharine knows how to deliver a message. Thanks Katharine, you to Chuck and Neil.
Easily when you fail to put Bjorn Lomburg, a climate scientist who accepts climate change, who believes that through innovation AND where people can make money. In fact innovation has made the air cleaner in the US than any other country in the world. Solar panels are combursome and inefficient. Sell that to the third world and they will ignore you.
Incredible! Seen many of these videos, this one is the best from every standpoint-science, logic, humor, executable strategy to actually solve the problems!
Super interesting topic! I once saw a documentary on isolated indigenous peoples in South America and in some of those tribes there were no words or symbols for numbers beyond 5 or 10 depending on the tribe.
@@davidsheckler8417 we are all related, every creature on this earth. We are born of this earth. We are made of the earth. Everything in your body was created in a star. We are self aware stardust. The greatest miracle of all IMHO.
This was a great interview, great questions, and great answers! All we need now is the political willpower to get crap changed. Talk to your elected officials, people - make noise. Use their website contact page, their email, their phone numbers, their physical addresses, and if your country has it, use Resistbot! Make a lot of noise, so we can do this!
you are meanwhile doing ZERO. like me: I own a car, use CH4 to boil water and heat my house and consume junk transported from far off countries, eat food transported half way around the earth....like Americans everywhere, I eat more than I need to, I dont ACTUALLY care what happens to the poor in the World that america helps keep poor.... I only worry about my immediate family. Im passive and apathetic and thats how Congress in 1789 wanted it!
41:35 100 x 100 square miles is not about 6 Texas farms. 100 x 100 square miles is about 6.4 million acres. The average Texas farm is about 411 acres, therefore you would need to build an array the size of about 16000 Texas farms not 6!
I'm amazed by how quickly each episode seems to end.... I am always left wanting more! Which means that the show is accomplishing the goal - fueling the hunger for knowledge!
I do have a question for Katherine. The world has been warming for 20,000 years. What makes you think/ say that the world should be cooling. The climate change argument is strong. It is not necessary to add something that probably is not true. It has the ability to weaken the whole.argument. Why would you do that?
awesome concept for batteries, also don't eat bread that already has mold visible on some areas. there is a significant chance the there's more mold on the bread that you can't see after you remove the pieces, and therefore you're taking an unnecessary health risk.
Do some research about the species of molds that grow on breads. I eat sliced bread that has visible mold on a couple or so slices; those go out for the birds. The rest I've eaten with no ill effects.
@@TheRealJamesKirkmaybe you should stop that the long term side effects of mold consumption on the body and the brain haven't thoroughly been studied yet, your taking a big risk. Especially because we know short term consumption can lead to adverse side effects....nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, fever, and fatigue
Related to the lifestyle thing (and briefly touched on) is the control aspect: I know a huge number of people, mostly on the political right, who think climate change is a huge hoax, all because they want to “control us”. While it sounds extreme, that’s the kind of hurdle we have to get over.
The funny thing is.... we're already all controlled by the status quo powers that be which let this problem become this bad. Corporations LITERALLY own Earth. Good luck convincing them to release what they own, or the profits they stand to keep making from their assets. Every group of humans to ever obtain such power has only given up that power by force. Our politics are an irrelevant puppet show those with the wealth have expertly crafted. Politicians are corporate tools, by the definition of their office. The "controllers" have done well to paradoxically align the fear of being controlled with freedom from their control, setting our society up to cherish and protect on oligarchy state which has enslaved us all. Put simply, we are all enslaved to those with the most money on the planet. They make people fear being controlled by others to remove blame or suspicion from their selves (projecting for protection), but their own control has already covertly undermined and supplanted every lever of power in our government. So it has always been since antiquity, and so will it continue to be... I continue to marvel at how little humanity has changed. Who is the next despot to rule the world? Simply look to who has the most riches for the answer, if they've allowed the public to even have knowledge of their wealth. We are allowed to know what the wealthiest corporations decide we are allowed to know. We are allowed to change society in only ways they want us the change it. And the only change they want is getting richer. Such a simple but dominant formula to describe the core of human culture throughout the millennia. Humanity = one person or party consolidating and hoarding power/wealth, and the rest of humanity suffering at their expense. Any place where more than one human being exists, I guarantee this will occur. All the politics is just puppetry being used to dress up this simple, fundamental relationship that keeps repeating again, and again, and again, from ancient Rome and before to now.
Loved the serious topic combined with humor. And, you guys switched rolls this time! Chuck has some of the most insightful comments and Neil, you got a few real zingers in!
We get 1 or 2 really bad hurricanes just about every year, and they always seem to be attributed to “climate change”, yet the other dozen minor to average ones just roll through and very little is said.
i have been living in Egypt for most of the last ten years, and wow, I have learned so much from the people here. No food is wasted here. No one leaves unused lights on, no one wastes water, everybody uses public transportation. Now, there are way too many cars here and the air is awful but they do not throw things away. They can fix anything here, and they do fix everything instead of throwing it away. Clothing does not get thrown away, they use it here. Everything is recycled, or re used in some way. Then, the electricity goes off quite often, which saves electricity, and people are not supposed to run their air conditioners at lower than 27C. Well, these are just a few of the things I have learned to do differentlyle, and it has had so little impact on my life. Just a little here and a little there. Oh, and I do not drive here at all, mainly because it is too difficult when no one stops at red lights or follows any rules of the road.
Dr. Neil got JOKES! Lol 😆😆😆😆 I think I broke a rib 🤣 Excellent episode! Loved it so much! Thank you for introducing me to Katherine. Love you and Chuck! Keep it up!
34:11 - I'd really like to hear the story about those emails/that folder. Is the information posted anywhere online or do we have to beg her for it? I'm so curious...
I think the US government should offer 0% interest, low payment loans to lower income people who wish to buy EVs. This would both popularize EVs and hasten infrastructure to support them. I personally would love to buy a 2022 Ford lightning for my work truck but that is not fiscally possible for me. Just a pipedream.
@@sandal_thong busses don't run anywhere in my county and it sure would be hard to carry all the tools I need to build a house on a bus. Rural areas never have public transportation and there sure are a lot of poor people in Rural places.
It's just a personality type, he can't control it, mask it at times. He often fails his urge to take over a conversation and feels compelled to express his personal opinion, regardless how well though it is. One of the reasons why Niel can be a good guide/presenter, but an absolute trash as an interviewer or a scientist.
Raw sewage is dumped into the almendrares river in Havana. The city port waters are covered with a layer of petroleum from an oil refinery located in the vicinity. Many times I came out of those waters with traces of oil all over my body. So communism which I’m sure you love is 10x worst.

Not end capitalism but just strict tame it with ecology. No plastic, no animal agriculture, no carbon-emiting transport, no eletricity from coal. That's it.
@ doesn't work, capitalism is human greed as a social system, all efforts to contain it is just prolonging the inevitable. Greed is as addictive as the hardest drug and these people's endomorphins release from inflicting mass misery for cash money. Incrementalism with capitalism is one step forward, two steps backwards, a world where there's too much but people 80% don't have enough, it's gross.. But that's just my opinion👍
@@HappyG1lm0re you're either not struggling for food and energy, in which case your opinion is never going to count to those who are (not to be unnecessarily mean), or you lick boots for a living (being necessarily mean). Either way, your opinion can't change my material conditions so neither will it change my mind that capitalism needs replacing with a system where I own my labor or at least have a democratic workplace (where we spend most of our life), though democracy is obviously an illusion when the people are hungry. Peace👍
This is awesome! I want to know what scientists think about nature based solutions that come from indigenous communities who have protected the earth since the beginning
This video has perfect timing. I just watched the JPL documentary about the OCA and OCA 2 mission to map carbon dioxide levels. Love the science keep it up
With all due respect, taking some dubious statement like "solar is cheaper than natural gas" and saying it is a fact does not help! I now have an electric car and my electric bill has doubled, so it now costs about $125 per month to drive around which is 3 times what it used to cost using gas ... and if I switched to electric heating, my bill would be astronomical compared to what I pay for natural gas. And to add insult to injury, I now have a "delivery and infrastructure" charge on my electric bill that is about 30-40% of the bill! I can here the argument that if I (we) keep using fossil fuels, there will be nothing left ... but a well placed solar flare would pretty much end society, at least as we know it too. I think Neil is absolutely on point when he said if there isn't a better profit, there isn't going to be a change. Otherwise, we will just keep going round and round with nothing done of major consequence.
I always wanted to grow crops in a greenhouse "not a field" myself. Greenhouses are solid proof of albedo effect, “cool islands” and decreased heat waves are projected. This was the key finding of the study in Almeria.
Katherine is SOOO delightfuly amazing!!! How can you not fall in love with her (i mean as a lecturer)! Please bring her more often!!! There are sooo many topics i want to absorb her wisdom on!
Speaking of the sun shining in the arctic 24/7 (half the year) , why can't we replace the lost albedo of melting sea ice with partially reflective solar panels that also generate power and sequester carbon ?
As we face the pressing challenge of climate change, innovative solutions are crucial. While we focus on sustainable practices here on Earth, the possibility of harnessing cosmic phenomena like black and white holes for energy or equilibrium presents a fascinating frontier. Balancing these cosmic forces could theoretically offer groundbreaking ways to address energy needs and environmental balance. Could the mysteries of the cosmos hold the key to solving our climate crisis and transforming how we interact with our planet?
Wait! Minute 18:. Dr. KH said that CO2 has gone up to "120 ppm". But the pre industrial baseline was circa 230 - 280 ppm. Did she mean 120 ppm above baseline? PS- Thanks for greatly informative conversation and explanations!
Have you taken down the OTHER video with the other lady climate modeler who said renewables manufacturing even using fossil fuel are very necessary? Am unable to find it!
While there are documented cases of partially constructed nuclear plants being abandoned due to high costs and regulatory issues, there is no widely known instance where a partially built nuclear plant was simply filled in with dirt to cover up the unfinished structure; this scenario is highly unlikely due to the significant safety concerns and environmental implications involved.
This video looks great, can’t wait to watch it! One thing, I have an idea for next video: could you (or an expert you bring on) explain the advancement of evolution and what happens in our genetics and DNA over generations.
@@davidt3956 Herschel Walker has permanent brain damage from all the hits to the head. Poor guy can't even show up for any of the debates. Merely relying on name recognition and his popularity as a Bulldog to carry him to office. His strategy, sadly,will probably work. I doubt he has anything worthwhile to add to the topic of evolution.
@@heman5954 Don't blame CTE for him not debating. The RNC just pulled out of the non-partisan debate commission. Republicans have nothing to stand on except hatred, so they don't want to debate.
Stating that nuclear is more expensive than renewables is completely wrong! The capacity factor of solar and wind is below 0.3, so you need to install 3 or 4 times the energy capacity to get what you need and store it for when sun and wind are not available: how would you do it? Nuclear should be used for the base load and renewables for the variable load.
Katharine does a disservice to fission power on two points. First, the next generation SMR and molten salt reactors are very likely coming in at a much lower price than old fission power. Second, she speaks of storing nuclear waste without mentioning that the biggest reason to store it is to recycle that fuel to react further. After exhaustive recycling the final waste is almost in the same category as a banana when it comes to radiation exposure.
Isnt it about time for Dr Hayhoe to come back and ipdate us on current status of Anthroprogenic Climate Didription? This video is a year old already. We need an update. Thanks. ❤
Hi team, I know you get many 'thank you's but here's another. I know it's not easy to prepare for the themes. On behalf of all the lazy ones watching this show, I much appreciate your work 👌
All of us are at risk? Understatement. But hey, I appreciate the positive spin, while at the same time knowing the truth of our situation. Thanks guys for trying.
Nicely done, interesting and fun, as always! And what a combination ot knowledge, fire and beautiful attitude is your guest! 💚 Having said that, on one point I understand Katherine's goal of producing liquid clean or emission neutral energy, I somewhat doubt that using energy to produce fuel of carbon is the best alternative, as long as you can use the same energy to produce hydrogen, which is an emission free fuel.
Dear Neil & Chuck the two of you seem to have so much fun at work that I wonder how the two of you spend your free time together.jellous in California. P.S. love the show(Startalk)
Have there been studies of recent ice core samples to compare the CO2 readings since the 50's to the more modern station readings? I would be curious to see how accurate the ice cores actually are.
I really appreciate this discussion and video! I look forward to reading Katherine's book. Another book I suggest that I just read is: "The carbon footprint of Everything" by Mike Berners-Lee.
Dear StarTalk, could you start a new trend: please include Twitter handles in the descriptions of your videos as i try to follow every one of your guests and need to search for them manually each time. Sincerely, Jan :)

Dr. Neil got JOKES! Lol 😆😆😆😆 I think I broke a rib 🤣 Excellent episode! Loved it so much! Thank you for introducing me to Katherine. Love you and Chuck! Keep it up!
34:11 - I'd really like to hear the story about those emails/that folder. Is the information posted anywhere online or do we have to beg her for it? I'm so curious...
I think the US government should offer 0% interest, low payment loans to lower income people who wish to buy EVs. This would both popularize EVs and hasten infrastructure to support them. I personally would love to buy a 2022 Ford lightning for my work truck but that is not fiscally possible for me. Just a pipedream.
They'd do better giving free bus passes.
@@sandal_thong busses don't run anywhere in my county and it sure would be hard to carry all the tools I need to build a house on a bus. Rural areas never have public transportation and there sure are a lot of poor people in Rural places.
A climate scientist that is also easy on the eyes. Found her climate science books on Audible, I'll be listening to them this weekend.
I love how Neil looks like he's struggling to stay awake when other people talk. 🤣
It's probably repetitive for him is why.
@@nobodyimportant816 oh for sure...i just find it amusing
It's just a personality type, he can't control it, mask it at times.
He often fails his urge to take over a conversation and feels compelled to express his personal opinion, regardless how well though it is.
One of the reasons why Niel can be a good guide/presenter, but an absolute trash as an interviewer or a scientist.
I heard a lot of arguments debunked, that i hear in discuss
Iuns, were i didn't have a good answer back. Thank you for explanning things so well!
I can solve it in two words: "End capitalism" - sorted! 👍🏽
Katharine's great. ✌🏽
Uh... In favor of what? Capitalism is much greater than the alternatives. But, maybe you have it all figured out.
Raw sewage is dumped into the almendrares river in Havana. The city port waters are covered with a layer of petroleum from an oil refinery located in the vicinity. Many times I came out of those waters with traces of oil all over my body. So communism which I’m sure you love is 10x worst.
Not end capitalism but just strict tame it with ecology. No plastic, no animal agriculture, no carbon-emiting transport, no eletricity from coal. That's it.
@ doesn't work, capitalism is human greed as a social system, all efforts to contain it is just prolonging the inevitable. Greed is as addictive as the hardest drug and these people's endomorphins release from inflicting mass misery for cash money. Incrementalism with capitalism is one step forward, two steps backwards, a world where there's too much but people 80% don't have enough, it's gross.. But that's just my opinion👍
@@HappyG1lm0re you're either not struggling for food and energy, in which case your opinion is never going to count to those who are (not to be unnecessarily mean), or you lick boots for a living (being necessarily mean). Either way, your opinion can't change my material conditions so neither will it change my mind that capitalism needs replacing with a system where I own my labor or at least have a democratic workplace (where we spend most of our life), though democracy is obviously an illusion when the people are hungry. Peace👍
This is awesome! I want to know what scientists think about nature based solutions that come from indigenous communities who have protected the earth since the beginning
This video has perfect timing. I just watched the JPL documentary about the OCA and OCA 2 mission to map carbon dioxide levels. Love the science keep it up
With all due respect, taking some dubious statement like "solar is cheaper than natural gas" and saying it is a fact does not help! I now have an electric car and my electric bill has doubled, so it now costs about $125 per month to drive around which is 3 times what it used to cost using gas ... and if I switched to electric heating, my bill would be astronomical compared to what I pay for natural gas. And to add insult to injury, I now have a "delivery and infrastructure" charge on my electric bill that is about 30-40% of the bill! I can here the argument that if I (we) keep using fossil fuels, there will be nothing left ... but a well placed solar flare would pretty much end society, at least as we know it too. I think Neil is absolutely on point when he said if there isn't a better profit, there isn't going to be a change. Otherwise, we will just keep going round and round with nothing done of major consequence.
Very important topic, thank you for covering it.
Neil you have the best voice for this podcast, calm ready to explain things, and question!
What a great show, Thank You! Bye the way, the best joke of the year @ 45:20 OMG, I can't stop laughing...
Agreed!
Great show! Amazing guest! love you guys
“Humans are the ‘cigarettes’ of the planet!” Nailed it!
I always wanted to grow crops in a greenhouse "not a field" myself. Greenhouses are solid proof of albedo effect, “cool islands” and decreased heat waves are projected. This was the key finding of the study in Almeria.
Katherine is SOOO delightfuly amazing!!! How can you not fall in love with her (i mean as a lecturer)! Please bring her more often!!! There are sooo many topics i want to absorb her wisdom on!
Speaking of the sun shining in the arctic 24/7 (half the year) , why can't we replace the lost albedo of melting sea ice with partially reflective solar panels that also generate power and sequester carbon ?
As we face the pressing challenge of climate change, innovative solutions are crucial. While we focus on sustainable practices here on Earth, the possibility of harnessing cosmic phenomena like black and white holes for energy or equilibrium presents a fascinating frontier. Balancing these cosmic forces could theoretically offer groundbreaking ways to address energy needs and environmental balance. Could the mysteries of the cosmos hold the key to solving our climate crisis and transforming how we interact with our planet?
How is this the first time I’ve discovered Katherine?! I have a new hero! I can’t wait to share her with everyone I know.
Wait! Minute 18:. Dr. KH said that CO2 has gone up to "120 ppm". But the pre industrial baseline was circa 230 - 280 ppm.
Did she mean 120 ppm above baseline?
PS- Thanks for greatly informative conversation and explanations!
Have you taken down the OTHER video with the other lady climate modeler who said renewables manufacturing even using fossil fuel are very necessary?
Am unable to find it!
While there are documented cases of partially constructed nuclear plants being abandoned due to high costs and regulatory issues, there is no widely known instance where a partially built nuclear plant was simply filled in with dirt to cover up the unfinished structure; this scenario is highly unlikely due to the significant safety concerns and environmental implications involved.
Great Show! Two out of three of these people are happily high. Love it.
This video looks great, can’t wait to watch it!
One thing, I have an idea for next video: could you (or an expert you bring on) explain the advancement of evolution and what happens in our genetics and DNA over generations.
Check with Herschel Walker, he has some opinions... ;)
@@davidt3956 Herschel Walker has permanent brain damage from all the hits to the head. Poor guy can't even show up for any of the debates. Merely relying on name recognition and his popularity as a Bulldog to carry him to office. His strategy, sadly,will probably work. I doubt he has anything worthwhile to add to the topic of evolution.
@@heman5954 Don't blame CTE for him not debating. The RNC just pulled out of the non-partisan debate commission. Republicans have nothing to stand on except hatred, so they don't want to debate.
Who is advocating the ethos in development of Neurolink potential and Crisper
Great episode! thumbs up💯
Stating that nuclear is more expensive than renewables is completely wrong! The capacity factor of solar and wind is below 0.3, so you need to install 3 or 4 times the energy capacity to get what you need and store it for when sun and wind are not available: how would you do it? Nuclear should be used for the base load and renewables for the variable load.
Totally agreed. There is no silver bullet, no single solution will fix this. We must apply all the solutions together.
Katharine does a disservice to fission power on two points. First, the next generation SMR and molten salt reactors are very likely coming in at a much lower price than old fission power. Second, she speaks of storing nuclear waste without mentioning that the biggest reason to store it is to recycle that fuel to react further. After exhaustive recycling the final waste is almost in the same category as a banana when it comes to radiation exposure.
Isnt it about time for Dr Hayhoe to come back and ipdate us on current status of Anthroprogenic Climate Didription? This video is a year old already. We need an update. Thanks. ❤
Absolutely fantastic StarTalk‼️
Delightful show. Good information. But when you have a guest speaker maybe she should get to talk more than the other two of you.
Neil degrees Tyson you are my literal hero.
Hi team, I know you get many 'thank you's but here's another. I know it's not easy to prepare for the themes. On behalf of all the lazy ones watching this show, I much appreciate your work 👌
She has a nice smile.
I like listening to people who give off good energy you can tell she's passionate.
All of us are at risk? Understatement. But hey, I appreciate the positive spin, while at the same time knowing the truth of our situation. Thanks guys for trying.
43:55 best point made in the video
In the description it should be Thomas Malthus as pronounced correctly by Neil, not Thomas Malphus.
Nicely done, interesting and fun, as always! And what a combination ot knowledge, fire and beautiful attitude is your guest! 💚
Having said that, on one point I understand Katherine's goal of producing liquid clean or emission neutral energy, I somewhat doubt that using energy to produce fuel of carbon is the best alternative, as long as you can use the same energy to produce hydrogen, which is an emission free fuel.
Hydrogen from electrolysis can be emission free. Most hydrogen produced today is from steam methane reforming. Definitely not emission free.
Such wonderful and insightful information
Dear Neil & Chuck the two of you seem to have so much fun at work that I wonder how the two of you spend your free time together.jellous in California. P.S. love the show(Startalk)
how do we lobby US gov't to reduce/eliminate fossil fuel subsidies?
Have there been studies of recent ice core samples to compare the CO2 readings since the 50's to the more modern station readings? I would be curious to see how accurate the ice cores actually are.
Awesome. And chalk one up for Neil. He got Chuck good that time. But Chuck did the setup Nice-Ly! Loved all of this one.
She’s got great delivery
Good to see Katharine back!
I really appreciate this discussion and video! I look forward to reading Katherine's book. Another book I suggest that I just read is: "The carbon footprint of Everything" by Mike Berners-Lee.
Also, how do we cut down on carbon costs if we keep buying it from other places?
Dear StarTalk, could you start a new trend: please include Twitter handles in the descriptions of your videos as i try to follow every one of your guests and need to search for them manually each time. Sincerely, Jan :)
