ClimateAdam Awesome video, though I was hoping you would have talked more about the solutions. You didn't say anything about Maersks 8 methanol powered tankers, able to be sourced as synthetic efuels and or biofuels (although can use fossil methanol in an emergency), that seem to be a major solution or the nuclear ship designs under discussion in South Korea and the UK. You mentioned electric and hydrogen ships but I haven't heard about any progress on those matters and would have loved to have heard more about those.

There is a massive issue: People, we need to convinced people to do stuff, to actually put pressure onto the government, to actually start protest. We need the great majority of people to face reality. Besides the fact that centuries of doom for our modern society are nocking on our doors, we also have a greater gap between the rich and the poor less protection for workers, ... A lot of issues but the most part of society thinks either it's not that bad or they ignore it. The greatest issue of our time is psychological. We live in a society that is more interdependent than any society before, having global networks on which we depend to work yet most people are acting more egotistically than ever before. We need to move back to an understanding of we the people, we the people of earth.
Isn’t there also an issue with our trade agreements? I seem to remember reading about Canada trying to incentivize more local shopping and they got smacked by the WTO for potentially hurting their trade with China. I have no idea how we start changing WTO rules though…
My suggestions for further climate change problems and solutions to discuss next: how to care for people like myself with chronic illness and disabilities while saving the climate. We need straws to drink but plasic straws were banned and paper straws dont work for us. We could be independent with electronics but they need rare earths. Etc,
PS: and I think that we differently abled people can contribute additional perspectives and ideas and possibilities if we are allowed at the table. Think of discussions about reusable diapers, accessibilty by ramps where possible to avoid electricity costs and ensure constant access, or about saving light at home when blind.
I regularly run along the entrance to the Rotterdam waterway, so I do think about shipping more than the average person does 💩 Edit: I seem to remember hearing that most countries don't count the pollution from air and shipping when it's outside their territory, might that make it a bigger problem than we realise?
yeah I think a big problem with shipping is it's easy for no-one to take responsibility for it - in much the same way as aviation. whereas with something like industry or agriculture there's no hiding those emissions from your accounting!
The puns came in by the boatload today!! I absolutely loved this video and it was very informative, as ever, in a fun way. I do feel like we need to think about shipping more. And slowing things down. Companies like amazon offering next day or same day deliver is terrible but good at the same time. I feel if you need something essential asap then you should be able to get it but I'm sure if it is essential you can buy it at a store? Shipping non essential items unreasonably quick is damaging to not only our wallets and habits but for the planet too! We need to re-think consumption generally and intricately. Thank you again for another great video! You're my most favourite content creator, Dr Adam!
yeah I think we've got way too used to expecting things immediately, wherever we're ordering from. and whether that's from overseas or from within our town, that's always going to be less efficient.
What are your thoughts on NS Savannah? The concept, was a nuclear powered ship, that for some reason was half cruise ship, half cargo ship. Ships are really efficient at carrying large masses, so I don't think the lead shielding would really be a problem. It also wouldn't need to carry fuel, which is effectively wasting energy, too.
Here's a list of Nuclear Submarines on the bottom of the Ocean: USS Thresher USS Scorpion K-27 K-8 K-219 K-278 Komsomolets K-429 K-141 Kursk K-159 And now you want to add civilian ships to this list?
@@nunofoo8620 here's the thing, most nuclear ships didn't sink, there's what a dozen boats on that list out of hundreds that have been created? Submarines are inherently risky, they're going to sink, it just happens. Also sinking to the bottom of the ocean is about the best kind of accident a nuclear reactor can have, seawater is an extremely good radiation shield, it can just stay down there forever and it's not a huge problem compared to an open core on land. When a ship powered by fossil fuel sinks you get a shipwreck and an oil spill, when a nuclear ship sinks you get... a shipwreck. I'm actually a lot more positive about nuclear power on civilian ships than I am about nuclear power on land, simply because you can move it, it's like building a power plant over a giant hole you can drop it in and cover with a mile of sand if something goes wrong.

Great video. Appreciate the puns :D Something I'm wondering about: Climate change makes some places too hot (or too cold) to live in (at least at some points in the year). So we use airconditioning to make those places livable. Which contributes even more to climate change (partially bc energy and also bc some coolants are greenhouse gases). So... is there a way around airconditioning? Or a way to make it less destructive? Or will all places end up needing HVAC in the future?
yessss a video about home heating and cooling would be great. y'know I moved to Berlin from London, and the winters are much more bitter here. but I need faaaar less heating, cos buildings are so much better insulated. like I barely have my radiator on at all!
Yeah, insulation is great! Is there a way to insulated listed buildings? I don't think we need to tear down all historic buildings, but it'd be nice if those didn't destroy the planet (and the people living in them didn't have horrendous energy bills, asking for a friend...).
@@KarolaTea in addition to better insulation, heat pumps are the way to go - they’re way more energy efficient than traditional methods. There are also passive heating techniques that are of course the optimal solution as they take advantage of natural differences in temperature throughout the day.
Awesome video, though I was hoping you would have talked more about the solutions. You didn't say anything about Maersks 8 methanol powered tankers, able to be sourced as synthetic efuels and or biofuels (although can use fossil methanol in an emergency), that seem to be a major solution or the nuclear ship designs under discussion in South Korea and the UK. You mentioned electric and hydrogen ships but I haven't heard about any progress on those matters and would have loved to have heard more about those. I would love to hear you talk more about the materials industry particularly cement and steel, which ive seen declared as 8 and 7% of emissions respectively. I'd also like to hear you talk more about replacing fossil fuels in space, food, and water heating, in particular exactly what percentage they emit, I've heard it's around 10% but I'd love to hear your word on it.
good points! honestly I was most interested to talk about approaches that could be used to adapt existing ships, as I think those will be the quickest to... make waves... in the industry, but I could definitely have given a longer list of the green approaches for brand new vessels!
@@ClimateAdam Long time watcher first time dialoguer. Thank you for addressing my message, I suppose that makes a great deal of sense. Just Have a Think had a great video on this topic as well. It's worth noting that most of the wind based solutions you shared do have the problem of consuming precious economically usable deck space which discourages their use, but there is one wind solution that does not do this that I don't believe you showed. This being a sort of "kite sail" that catches the wind higher up and is connected to the ship by tethers. I believe his video also mentions that the fuel use reductions from slowing down have largely been implemented since the 2008 great recession as a cost saving measure since then, and that any further reductions run into a diminishing returns. So, I'm an aspiring climate activist who held some officerships in an environmental club in college some years ago and now I'm in medical school to trying to establish the schools first environmental/climate activism club. Since you already have a decent platform I was hoping I might discuss some findings you may appreciate. First, a good topic of discussion may be making people more aware of something that happened back in September 2021 that literally everyone seems to have missed but I feel like could push the dial on climate crisis awareness. That event being the over 200 medical journals who, on behalf of the international medical community, all printed a joint statement on the severity and necessity to address the climate crisis calling it "the greatest threat to human health." I'd link you to it but , youtube has a habit of deleting anything with a link, so I'm recommending you Google "over 200 medical journals climate crisis greatest threat to human health"... or something to that effect. The NPR article on it has a link to the original text right up front. It seems to me a great topic for you to discuss which people would greatly benefit from being made more aware of. The second is more of pet project I've done as part of the climate club establishment, wherein I hope to get all the other med students up to date on the causes of and solutions to the image crisis. So, I tried to condense all said known causes and solutions onto a single (legible and NOT super dense) page/PowerPoint slide. Everything is broken into approximate percentages with their corresponding solutions declared in breif format. I thought you might want to see and or discuss this work, and I figured you may find it useful for your science and climate communication work as well. I would love to hear back from you on this either here, in private message here or on Facebook "Gehrig Reinundson" or any other medium you prefer. Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon.
No slowing ships down won't reduce fuel use, there is already calculated formula on how ships should sail to have optimum fuel efficiency due to water physics that's why bigger ships sail faster than small ones. It's something about drag resonance something thingy?
Hi! I loved all of the shipping puns XD. I would love to see more videos about our food systems, their impact on climate change and how they will be impacted by climate change and what we can do about it.
I like your videos! Especially when they are about stuff that is normally not the first on the radar, like shipping in this case. What i would be interessted in, is knowing what institutions could do. I have heard banks might play an important role by financing green projects and not financing the others.
It's about the dirtiest kind of fuel you can use, so nasty you need to heat it to make it liquid enough to flow. But that's not really relevant from a carbon perspective, only an air quality and sulfur perspective. A cargo ship running on highway diesel or gasoline would still pump out tons of carbon even if it'd smell nicer.
I think green ammonia might have the highest potential here for fuel for shipping much easier to handle than hydrogen. As for asking your representatives to do more on climate change I ran against my local representative in an election so they now know who I am and I got 10% of the vote, that's not terrible enough people for him to pay attention to what I have to say. Atm I am trying to stop a new gas project from going ahead, The Scarborough Gas project.
If you've already done a video on this, my apologies, I couldn't find it, but I was wondering whether you would do a video on your experiences with being neuro diverse. I know that's not specifically climate related, but I was hoping you could include that since I've noticed that there does seem to be a correlation between ND and climate concern (Greta is obviously a prime example)
really interesting topic, but as someone who (as far as I know) is not neurodiverse, it feels like it's not my connection to make. definitely could be an interesting topic of conversation to have with someone, though, if I do end up making a collab with someone who does make that connection between their neuro-diversity and their climate work.
I would like to have a decommission date set for all fossil fuel burning electric power plants. That would be a firsty step and something we could argue over. Plus wood burning stoves and pretty much anything that was done in 1800 should be ok att least for the time being.
That's an impressive number of puns per minute! It would be great if you covered carbon emissions from the military. At the same time as the US military acknowledging climate change is one of the biggest threats to the world, they are also excluded from climate aggreements and burn an incredible amount of fossil fuels. Do you think anything will be done about this?
interestingly - at least for food - shipping doesn't tend to be the major source of emissions, so often it's best to grow food where that food grows best, and then ship it to where it's eaten. that said, there are loads of other great reasons to eat locally, especially if you're combining that with what grows seasonally in your local region.
Can solar panels AND sails be attached to the ships? If we mix energy sources (renewables and fossils or hydrogen), and make every ship and tanker a mini energy plant, they could become self-suficient, maybe. Someone smarter might have considered this already.
Lets be devils advocate, if the people that care about the climate only buy second hand why whould sellers of new stuff care what you think about thier shipping?

At the same time as the US military acknowledging climate change is one of the biggest threats to the world, they are also excluded from climate aggreements and burn an incredible amount of fossil fuels. Do you think anything will be done about this?
ooooh interesting idea. it's a great example of how climate impacts overlap with all sorts of other injustices and inequalities (not just in the US).
Weird to put a whole video as an ad but it worked on me so 🤷
well I'm glad it did! welcome!
Shipping can go green if the power source is the new mini-nuclear reactors. Submarines have been using nuclear power for 5 or more decades.
thanx
I was hoping the pandemic would lead to more people trying to buy local.
interestingly - at least for food - shipping doesn't tend to be the major source of emissions, so often it's best to grow food where that food grows best, and then ship it to where it's eaten. that said, there are loads of other great reasons to eat locally, especially if you're combining that with what grows seasonally in your local region.
yeah cool ad
Can solar panels AND sails be attached to the ships? If we mix energy sources (renewables and fossils or hydrogen), and make every ship and tanker a mini energy plant, they could become self-suficient, maybe. Someone smarter might have considered this already.
Fully Charged Show showed a solar panel car.
P.s. love that choker
ships can fly below the radar.
These are called submarines ;)
ah yes. the famous flying submarines!
Lets be devils advocate, if the people that care about the climate only buy second hand why whould sellers of new stuff care what you think about thier shipping?
I didn't realise my mutv RUclips and Phone youtube were different accounts, so just watched this twice and will do so from now on 🤣
Hehe so funny
Your a goose
