We worry about the possibility of an AI turning all metal on Earth into paperclips when we should be more worried about the people who think they know what is best for everyone and who have the capability of forcing their vision on the rest of us.

They're creating the current nightmare, so they will present us with their utopian solutions to 'save' the world. They're lying!

Lots of hot wind. Who developed Germany into an industrial country after the end of the Middle Ages? They did it thenselves, long before any "colonial" expansion. The fact is that even in the most developed countries, the individual mid-income person has little or no say or power against what Big Government, Big Finance and other corporates do and decide. Grow up yourselves.

Because no one wants to shut down fossil fuels and convert societies to locally based, small scale needs driven, environmentally friendly and sustainable, non debt based economies. That’s the solution. We’ve been telling people the solution for years. People don’t think it can happen and give up because it needs enormous support from world governments.
@Charles-Sherbourne 0 seconds ago Implementing green energy solutions such as solar panels and wind turbines world-wide will lead to an ecological and financial catastrophe of biblical proportions. Proponents of green energy put the price tag at about a thousand trillion USD. Where is the money going to come from, and who will it be going to?

Just a couple decades of shutting down the 15.4 trillion dollar a year fossil fuel industry. The “who is going to pay” arguments are absurdity when we examine how much we lose and pay to support fossil fuels… and we can add in 2-3 trillion in supporting industries as well. And yes, we cannot get there tomorrow, this means in the meantime… because of our failure to act… we must figure out how to ensure survival through the transition while doing without the entities that are burning the world down.

Good to hear such a positive and nuanced focus from you all.
In truth, YES a machine could be made to clean the atmosphere. I had a vision once of one in Finland or thereabouts, and it was the size of a skyscraper, but all it did was filter the local Air, of impurities.
Thank God, I will not be alive by 2050.
I dont want to be part of a "global community" leave Me alone.😊
I would have liked to listen to what Sachs, Goodall and the others had to say but didn't because of the intrusive noise-effects.
Every country should design their own. Consolidating is a recipe for disaster. Landownership and local farming are essential. Esg (BlackRock and WEF) is a disgusting power grabbing disaster. The global vultures have been licking their chops for Africa and control over all essential needs. No one has the whole picture or any answers.
Depending where you live in this world everyone will see if different. I see it if all these governments can't sort it now what chance have we all got.
A machine probably could be made as well, which simply filters the room, i.s. a ionic breeze (C/TM) for the planet.
These challenges can sound so insurmountable but if each of us can decide that we want to be part of a collective solution, there’s much that we can do. Human beings have shown incredible ingenuity and I firmly believe we are capable, if only we set our minds to it. A ton of work to be done, though!

The business model Must be updated. Things like planned obsolesence , need to be ravamped for a more universal aspect of goodies, and buying stuffs. There IS a universal laguage for tech I bet, if the correct shape is guess or groked, then it should be implemented, not put into some billion dollar bid scheme like when the USB for computers was made.
an other commercial for the happy few who want to control all of us and by the way what they dont tell you , is we are shrinking in our population there are far less children born then 20 years ago extreme examples are japan but also Italy just to name a few. We as people need more say in our governance for instance we should decided of we want to go to war or any kind of this, but this is decided for us as if we are childeren who don't know what is good for us.

I would Love to see society would be redesiBut I just don't see it
Jesus says the poor you will always have with you. People that want to alleviate poverty will never be able to because there will always be poverty. Sad but true. As far as changing the social and political structures to make positive change it will only go so far. They never address drawing closer to God, accepting the gift of salvation from His Son and obeying God's commands as a solution. The problem is that Gods people that are called by His name are not turning from their wicked ways. Only through giving oneself over to God will He heal their land.

We need a balance of centralized sharing of ideas but encouraging decentralized cultural and food and health applications according to region. A blending of the old and the new, a balance point, where the true goal is the edification and support for one another at a sincere level that honors the diverse cultural experiences that are born of living in different climates and geographies.

One way to reduce carbon in the atmostsphere, is to use genetic engineering to make plants better and even more efficient at converting CO2 to O. It has been done to aloe plants I think it was as of about 5-7 yrs ago. the yield of tranformation was up to 3x more CO2 conversion, for the modified plants.
This is beautiful! I like the diversity of opinions coming from all the experts. All of them came from different backgrounds but shares the same concern about our world. Thank you for putting this together. As a non-native English speaker, I feel that this isn't hard for me to understand though there are some bits that are a bit hard for me to fully digest.

It explores the challenges faced by different societies around the world in navigating towards mid-century, as well as the actions needed to ensure planetary and societal well-being in the years ahead. The video features four global experts who highlight the drivers of change and the urgent need to take action today to safeguard our future and survival. The experts discuss the challenges of climate change, resource scarcity, socio-economic inequality, growing geopolitical tensions, and rapid technological change, which are creating a very uncertain future. The world is deeply interconnected and facing some dire challenges, but international institutions and ways of thinking are not in line with our needs. The experts call for a complete redesign of our societies to ensure sufficiency for people to survive and lead decent and dignified lives, social inclusion and justice, an economy that operates within planetary boundaries, and peace between major powers. The world is currently off track on all of these objectives, and urgent action is needed to ensure a more resilient, fairer, and more just world.

Luckily you are not the ones to decide the future of humanity as it will be very bleak. There will be new humans that will take the lead.
I didn't watch the entire thing, because I am tired of hearing what the problems are. We know what the problems are! We don't need to hear it in a structured way. What are the solutions? How do we fix it? What shall we do? Educate young people? - we saw what this lead to - fall of socialism. Going back to the old ways. Who will educate? What they will teach? Capitalism and money "making"? Environment? No. These are not solutions.
Absolutely what a great revolutionary.....we have to back the humans came upon ...Absolutely EQUAL . no race colour of religious beliefs....That's a greatest separation..two deceased arms revolution ...EQUAL the injustice systems ..especially all countries policing systems... healthy society's be come a educated society.... for all one common good ... we are all EQUAL...EACH ONE .. LEARN ..AND TEACHES ONE.. ..
Well they can talk all they want the bible already prophesied it is going to get worse and worse... I stand on Gods word. So far most prophecies came to past. I know the end. You're focus should be to be in right standing with God.
