  1. All livestock farming will be abolished due to its carbon footprint and all methane emitting animals will be culled, including cattle sheep pigs and horses etc The banning of pets will be introduced as a large dog has a carbon footprint of a 4by4, pets will only be allowed if they are edible.

  2. Wind, solar and batteries mentioned at 07:45 are not up to the task. Saying they are cheaper is a false equivalence. It's only cheaper to build windmills per kW/hr because 80% of the world's energy is supplied by fossil fuels. All that mining, refining of metals, and the manufacture and construction of windmills requires base load power wind and solar cannot realistically supply. Because they are inconstant, diffuse forms of low grade energy, wind and solar can only ever supplement a grid powered by some other, reliable source of base load power – like fossil fuels, nuclear, or Magma Energy.
    Magma Energy is a very specific form of geothermal energy. Most geothermal energy is hydro-geothermal; energy drawn from underground bodies of hot water. This has inherent limits, such as the maximum temperature of water – even under pressure deep underground, is only approx 250'C. Then there's the replacement rate; the rate at which an underground body of water is re-heated from the earth.
    Magma Energy is drawn from semi-molten rock at much higher temperatures; it doesn't have these issues.
    In 1982, Nasa/Sandia Labs demonstrated the technology to harness Magma Energy. Converted to base load electricity and clean burning hydrogen fuel, Magma Energy could meet global energy demand carbon free, many times over, plus supply surplus power for desalination, irrigation, recycling and carbon capture.
    The inadequacy of wind and solar requires you demand people also "eat less beef" (12:00), but I'd point to Alan Savory's Tedtalk on the role of cattle in nature.
    Cattle trample and fertilise grasslands, creating biomass that stores carbon. Remove the cattle and you get wildfires and desertification. If you have Magma Energy – which can supply world energy demand carbon free, you reduce a lot of the emissions from agriculture anyway. You do not need to eat less beef to prevent methane emissions. But even if you do, farming seaweed to add to fodder can cut methane from cattle without reducing the land to a valueless, lifeless, windswept vegan desert!

  3. It's like saying, reduce the intake of sugar, carbs, eat fruits and vegetables, but you know what? people don't do it, unless you put them to prison so you can be sure nobody's eating sugar, the same way with fuel, you must replace or give alternatives to people or company that uses fuel as their means of income.

  4. There is nothing you can do. Climate change has nothing to do with us. Up the carbon tax to 100 percent and climate will still change. Climate changed long before there were humans, it changed long before there were mammals, it changed long before there were dinosaurs, it happened while we still lived underwater.

  5. There is technology available to day to reduce pollution on coal powered power stations and on cars trucks motorcycles and so on but the government's of the world are not interested.Os as fare as I can see the governments are full of B.S. this is not the hottest time ever .!look at the past 200 years????

  6. Yes, humans caused the problem because there are so many of us.
    Whatever measures are taken, it won't solve the problem since the root cause is that we have too many kids and have selfishly & shamelessly overpopulated the planet.

  7. To impact climate change I like to lecture my neighbors about how driving the their cars is destroying the earth while driving my gas guzzling SUV.
    Oh, I also like to vote for more taxes so we can have my studies on the climate.

  8. Plant trees ….lots of new woods…good voor the CO2 problem..it helps with our probems with water..(a tree holds a lot ofwater) besides it keeps mother earth free from burning..like our skin needs hair against the burning sun.
    Trees also regulate temperatures …but think by yourself…it is not that difficult although the assumed smart people often make stupid decisions.

  9. Truly a great presentation
    Constructive and optimistic
    For the sake of survival, the mind of humanity needs to be educated on the reality of this matter and the heart of humanity needs to become passionate to make a change
    The stubborn machine of industry must be stopped in its tracks and be held accountable.
    That can only be achieved if everyone gets involved
