Introduction by Kenny Ausubel, Bioneers CEO and Co-Founder.
The visionary goal of Project Drawdown, founded by Paul Hawken, is to actually reverse global warming by drawing carbon out of the atmosphere back down to pre-industrial levels. All the practices and technologies documented in Paul’s best-selling "Drawdown" book are already commonly available, economically viable, and scientifically valid. The true power of Drawdown is its holistic nature. Doing what’s right for the climate means doing the right thing across the board and will also create abundant, meaningful jobs and a vibrant green economy. For over 30 years, Paul has been at the forefront of transformative solutions for people and planet, including his highly influential books "The Ecology of Commerce," "Natural Capitalism" and "Blessed Unrest."

"Anytime you ignore feedback, a system dies."
Thank you for your work.
I think we all realise that the climate change debate became "othering" (polarising) almost immediately, by labeling skeptics, "deniers", saying the debate was 'over' etc. Thanks for an encouraging talk!
That's because "sceptics" were almost always ignorant about the established facts - or always distracted debate with marginal theory and research. They denied solid science all the time, so calling them denialists was to be expected.
"Established facts". There's the problem right there. Considering the 50 years of failed climate predictions, I wonder about these "established facts"
Wondering is useless. You need to think about them.
That's called 'being facetious' - or as close as I could get ;-)
love & forgiveness
Wonderful
Great wrk guys thank you
It’s amazing bad😔 only 8,900 people have watched this❤️🌎✌🏼

What can YOU do? For the people who are actually causing the emissions, start with your own solar PV. A carbon free grid is fundamental to a solution. Maybe you can invest in solar or wind. Second, switch to an EV. Third switch to a heat pump water heater. Forth, insulate and switch to heat pump space heaters. Do all that and become CO2 negative.
That doesn't solve all the problems of the world, but at least you stop adding to the CO2. All that other stuff on the list is likely stuff you can't do.
You seem to have missed the point here. There is already too much built-in GG from existing systems to be able to scale back and avoid catastrophic CC. Drawdown by re-greening rapidly could solve it.
@@johnhowardmorgan It is a question of future CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. The fastest way to minimize the future concentration in the near term (10-20 years) is to reduce emissions. Plants grow too slow and burn to quick to be of any use in the near term.
You have missed the point, which is that required reduction of CO2 emissions cannot be achieved within the time scale with existing politics. Drawdown could be possible and has to be attempted as our sole option.
@@johnhowardmorgan You have to bypass the politics, and act now. Drawdown is a slower process than emission reduction.
I have plants in my garden that can double their mass in just a few days. That is not a problem. The problem is getting politicians to take action.
Expecting them to remove traffic from the streets and highways, aircraft from the skies, close down coal-fired power stations, etc., etc. is cloud-cuckoo land. It has a zero point zero zero zero chance of succeeding. Do you really think the current lack-of-action world-wide is because politicians don't know or understand what the problem is?
CO2 is plant food… 🌱🌳
i admire these superb people, but how is global warming even a thing.. i get the earth is polluted nearly beyond repair, however, the suns solar cycle is being avoided in terms of global climate... a very important issue for humanity to take into considerastion...
Actually, that's incorrect. The Sun's solar cycle is DEFINITELY taken into consideration by climate scientists and built into their models. Of course. They aren't stupid.
@@kellysimmons6374 no it isn't. Only irradiant values not solar forcing , not gamma ray induction , not cosmic ray induction. Also not the weakening of the magnetic field , not the extreme changes happening in the rest of the solar system.
Climate science is a joke.
Co2 has already met the amount needed to absorb all the radiation it can from the sun's energy.
The climate crisis is a fraud sold by governments and corporations to further enslave and steal from humanity.
until women r held as equals I fear we are doomed to fail
While I appreciate most of what is said on Bioneers talks I never hear them mention the Financial System, Wall Street, How Money has been designed to work....Debt based, interest based economics....? Ecological Economics will require a new operating system
.not True..Paul Hawken wrote a book caLLED NATURAL CAPITALISM read it and be inspired!
