Join me on Wren and start offsetting your carbon footprint today! We'll plant 10 extra trees for the first 100 people who sign up! wren.co/start/geographics
I did the questionnaire and we use substantially less than anyone else on the graph… unfortunately I can’t afford to spend £10 a month making it even better… but I really hope someone who can afford this, does it!
sadly, programs to offset carbon emissions by planting trees look amazing on paper but are proving to be logistically impossible......if we halted all such programs today, and immediately went to plant all the trees already committed to by such offset programs we would need land the equivalent of THREE Indias to plant solid in trees with no other development or use -- there is no such amount of land, so the program looks good and definitely sounds good but we don't have the land to do so already, not even considering any future commitments made even tomorrow......it is time we began to explore other options immediately
Hey @Geographics as a Jamaican historian and archaeologist who has worked in Port Royal I have to say bravo!! I watched the video to see if you’d get it right and you knocked it out the park. Glad to see another Caribbean site on the channel
How very ironic that the place known as the wickiest city on earth is now the most peaceful place in Jamaica. The only problem with Port Royal is that it's flood prone but other than that very beautiful place, very peaceful, the people live as one and it's a lovely tourist attraction. I hope one day the government would revive that part of Port Royal that sank so that Port Royal and Portmore can become one again.
One aspect of the pirate life I find interesting is that some of them were kind of liberal in how they organised on the ship. It was of course a mixed batch but a general sense of equality is what many left their former lives to attain.
Port Royal is a town with an interesting history. I caught one 'error' though - there are already places referred to as 'Pompeii of the Caribbean', in the shape of the town of Saint Pierre on the French colonial island of Martinique, which was buried under a pyroclastic flow/nuee ardente from the volcano Mont Pelee in 1902. The term has also been used for Plymouth on the island of Montserrat - which has also been buried under pyroclastic flows (though far less disastrous as people evacuated).

Admiral Penn didn't found Pennsylvania, his son did. As a matter of fact, William Penn the Younger didn't even want to name the colony that. He originally proposed "New Wales" and "Sylvania", but the Privy council insisted on adding "Penn" to "Sylvania" in honor of Admiral Penn.
As a Brit, It's a little Scary that its over 90 Years since since the Country was hit by an M6 Quake nevermind a M7.5, Building Standards here are not designed for Quake Damage. Considering how many Towns & Cities are built on Reclaimed Land and Flood Plains, Liquifaction would seriously Catastrophic!
Earthquakes are also getting worse because of the larger effects of climate change, like the shifting weight on the crust because of ice melt. Things are going to get really bad if we don't drastically change quickly.
1 in 4 buildings were a tavern, a gambling hall or a brothel...my math says that's 3 in 4 buildings...let me guess, the other building was probably a church lol
Wren doesn't seem to understand that over 70% of carbon emissions are due to just 100 companies: big industry, especially gas companies. This isn't tracking the emissions from consumers using their products (so not counting personal vehicle use), just their own business practices. So sure, lower your own emissions if you'd like (I'm responsible for roughly 30% that of the average US citizen), but don't think that it will save us.
Depending on how they calculate, the carbon footprint does inlcude all your consumptions. Fuel for your car, electricity for your house, the carbon footprint of your steak or avocado etc. Yes, the amount of CO2 anyone of us directly sets free by burning stuff is negligable. The top 20 of greenhouse gas emission contributors are all in the field of oil, coal or mining. I know I'm being a bit naive here, but in theory, if everyone in Europe for example changes their habits a bit, we'd need less ships carrying stuff all across the world for no real reason, less trucks carrying stuff all across the continent, less electricty produced by burning coal or gas, all of which contributing to lowering the emissions of the companies involved in supplying the fuel for this madness... but overall I'd agree, Wren sounds like they're just trying to cash in on guilt. Personally, I decided to help saving the world by making sure that my kids will never be responsible for the emission of a single gram of greenhouse gases by not having any. Easiest, most efficient & cheapest option by far.
That report is a missaracterization of where the emissions come from. Not only do they condense industries into single companies (example: Chinese coal, Russian coal) or are primarily state owned enterprises. Of the top 10 firms on the list, 2 are publicl, and none are in the top 5.
The smartest thing the fossil fuel industry ever did was convince us that it's up to us to deal with pollution etc, not governments or the industry itself. Hence, we get nonsense like Wren, at least Simon is getting paid to promote it.
They convince us that carbon causes climate change, when in fact climate change causes carbon, global warming has been happening for the past 15 thousand years, WITH increase in carbon. It's not carbon making it hot, it's hot making it carbon, and it is a regular NATURAL cycle about ever 120,000 years.
im surprised he failed to mention "Giddy house"...a tilted single story structure left after the 1907 earthquake...arguable the most famous landmark in Port Royal
Tell Amazon and other corporations to give us their measurement of the carbon footprint..... Nice idea but gets old hearing how it's us being the issue when 70% of pollution worldwide is done by corporations...
@@slaydon3 True but the worst offenders are the corporations that while ultimately what they create end up in our hands, we, as average folk, can't really even do anything about. Mining, forestry, oil and gas, coal, factory farming etc.
@@slaydon3 amazon is large enough where its practically impossible to boycott. If you could organise a large scale boycott or strike then you have the chance to change some of that.
We can't individually do anything about climate change. It needs to be done on a societal level by governments and big business. Individually we are a drop in the bucket... don't let them shift the blame

Wren would have to pay me I'm homeless, no car, no job, I've been wearing the same clothes for a month, and I'm volunteering at a community garden 3 times a week for 8 hours a day for food. Seriously. They should be paying me for my lack of a carbon footprint. I only leave turds.
I find this story of port royal very poetic and could teach us a valuable lesson even today. Port Royal was essentially born out of piracy, out of human ignorance the port was founded, and also was destroyed by the same ignorance. Perhaps the people of the port were just living their lives, unaware of what dangers awaited them and continued their lives as they have been. Something that I believe we have yet to recognize as a civilization is that people who do not learn from the mistakes of the past, are doomed to repeat them. The people of Pompeii were blissfully unaware that the beautiful mountain they had risen to every morning, would be the demon that imprisoned them all within their own misjudgment. the people of Port Royal had failed to learn from the past earthquakes, and so god sent a great one to remind them of their weakness and in turn make them stronger than before. Perhaps we should learn from these instances that it isn’t blind ignorance that seals one’s fate to a demon of the past, but a failure to learn from those mistakes that created the demons to begin with
Anyone else a little disappointed that Columbus's "The fairest island..." quote wasn't put on the screen formatted as a Yelp review? Rare missed opportunity.
Hispaniola isn't only present day Haiti. Hispaniola was a term given by the Spaniards even before Haiti had come into existence. The Dominican Rep and Haiti were later divided into two parts after France occupied what's now Haiti.
