About The Author
People who want to go live on Mars can have it, as far as I'm concerned. I'm an earth girl! Save the planet!
Presionar a los gobiernos y practicar la desobediencia civil no violenta… los mejores consejos que he escuchado sobre cómo actuar frente a este desastre
Glad to see this, but people will still refuse to believe it, even if they were shown the data in more detail. Like the guy claiming "satellite data shows no warming in 33 years" which is a complete lie
I'll steal @jacquelynecarrillo2990 idea and comment just for algorithm purposes. This must be spread.
Haven't heard someone so clueless in quite a while.
Great set of Q & A. If you look back at congressional testimony by Carl Sagan in the mid-80's present day conditions were roughly predicted with poorer models. We had 40 years to get our act together on this issue, and we still can't do it! Believe the science.
I always think it's hilarious when climate change denialists blabber on about "FoLLoW tHe MoNeY." Because when you actually do "follow the money," it doesn't go to some imaginary cabal of eeeevil (and also apparently rich) environmentalists – it goes straight to the fossil fuel industry and the misinformation and propaganda they've been pushing for decades in an attempt to protect their precious profit margins. Meanwhile, a hundred million simpletons (who of course all fancy themselves geniuses) here in the US are so scarred shitless of the government pulling the wool over their eyes that they brainlessly believe everything the private sector spoonfeeds them. Protip guys: that's not any better, BP isn't your friend, and anthropogenic climate change is real.
I disagree that we can replace all means of energy production tomorrow. Wanting to do something and being able to do it without killing millions is two different things. You show very little respect for the amount of effort required to replace our means of energy production.
I like the use of snow machines that staved off the CA fire for the resort. Can we do more of that?
I think it’s interesting that this person thinks we can “stop death and suffering”
I love how this scientist answer questions
so nobody cares about global warming. but why? i don’t understand. i understand that it means more money for the leaders, but wouldn’t it make them more money if they make us live longer??
If it wasn’t a lie you’d see business take initiative it’s just a filter for your household income
Thank you so much for your lucid analysis and truth telling about the climate emergency. Your talk was super informative. I applaud your non violent demonstrations and your commitment to science.
no hurricanes this year! Scientists make things up to create employment for tgemselves. Dont believe it? Its now known as many as half of all so called approved drougs do t even do anything.
Good on Wired for having Dr. Kalmus, and platforming his incredibly important calls for petitioning government and civil disobedience.
Carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons. 12 is its atomic weight which is a combination of neutrons and protons. Neutron numbers can vary which gives us different isotopes like Carbon 14. The number of protons are constant at 6 otherwise it wont be carbon and some other element.
Remarkably up beat tone for such a dire situation with a whole lot of ugly now baked into our future even if we do a 180 tmrw, which ofcourse is absolutely not happening, too many ppl making too much money for any of that and when the misery really starts they will sit back in their ivory castles on top of their mountain made of money and watch the planet burn all while sleeping well at night. Generational wealth breeds the shame gene out after a while apparently.
Bump bump
We've already gotten a taste of what would happen if we stopped burning fossil fuels at the rate we have been. In 2020, when the covid pandemic hit, carbon emissions plummeted because all the carbon producing industries were shut down…a global economic recession also occured, because the economy had stagnated due to a halt in production. It's a bit of a catch-22 for humanity.
Thanks a lot for bringing this topic more and more! Please continue!
I'd appreciate an honest "how f***ed are we" question.
It's a gigantic shame that so many of our elected leaders don't understand basic science.
