Classical scientific study does work. And Behavioural Science tells us that what people do or don't do is driven by their feelings. Your argument appears circular. The guy is spot-on scientifically regarding communicating with people regarding changing behaviours. Personally I am not CONVINCED of HUMAN-DRIVEN climate change BEYOND ALL REASONABLE DOUBT; there seems to be data both sides. But I am convinced of it ON THE BALANCE OF PROBABILITIES and think we need to take action on it now as well as action to mitigate possible NON-HUMAN-DRIVEN climate change too. Let's not put all our eggs in one basket on this.

ezza88ster When studying complex interactions like climate change you will never get beyond all reasonable doubt, that's the nature of it. If we could explain it 100%, we would also be able to fix it 100% immediately. But these are complex systems. But what we know so far is, that humans are the biggest influence on climate change. How much EXACTLY? We can't tell and never will be able to.

***** This is the result of what the facts do speak for, which are scientifically, when you want to bring an argument or a solution which will prevent earth from the Impacts of climate change and Mass-Extinction, I think everyone wants to hear, but this is reality and did already since a few years ago taking place to become emergency, specially in the Oceans on marine Life rapid Mass-Extinction is reality these days. We are living in the 6th mass-extinction event in earth history since many years - so called the Holocene extinction, but it has become much worse by the anthropogenic climate change, we can say by scientific facts that the global temp will rise in a few less decades close to the 2 C Degree mark, which is by science far over the mark where the climate will start to collapse into a state of rapid world wide massive Extinction era, which can not be undone and not prevent anymore. We did already warm up earth to over 1 C degree by measurements and what we emit today plus the natural feedbacks are estimated to be 0,6 c - 1 C degree more which is already today been caused and locked-in for the near future. So thus it is not wrong to talk about in this sense "World End", instead of a rapid, unstoppable 6th Mass-Extinction event in earth history, climate impacts are already today have massive impacts on nature, food and freshwater what will exponential rise in the next years and for some countries like Mexico, India.. already very devastating today.

So what I see that he is saying is Governments and corporations have found a way to scare you into giving up your money. Also preparing you to the fact that they will run your life all the way down to how long you can heat your home and the type of food you eat.

But his talk about mudslides, forest fires and local weather aren't part of the Global Climate Change theory. The unequivocal fact is fewer people die from global weather disasters each year. This includes floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and fires. Today is October 8th and it is the 150th anniversary of the Peshtigo Fire, the worst wildfire disaster in recorded history by claiming 2000 lives. Nearly everything is getting better. The last 50 years of Luddite, anti-progress and anti-technology fear-mongering haven't proven any of their predictions. Capitalistic progress in China and India have raised hundreds of millions out of poverty. They don't care about a minor mudslide in your backyard which, frankly, could have been avoided by planting a few trees and better ground cover than mowed grass.

The Koch Brothers spend their money establishing "think tanks" (i.e. Americans for Prosperity, Cato Institute, Heritage Foundation, etc.) which publish phony "white papers" aimed at discrediting legitimate climate science. Why? Because the Koch Brothers' fortune is derived from oil, and fossil fuels are the cause of climate change. Of course, that's assuming you accept the overwhelming consensus of 97% of the world's climate scientists. (The other 3%? They're the ones writing the phony white papers for the Koch Brothers' think tanks.)

Well, it's a really misleading title. Nevertheless, this man presents a great idea. People will only start caring about any issue if it affects them on a personal level. It would be great if everyone could focus on the science of climate change and see it as the problem that it is. However, I think we all can agree that won't happen.

The rain extreme weather event is easily explainable by those who understand the Grand Solar Minimum. When the sun becomes less active, the sun blocks fewer cosmic rays. The increase in cosmic rays increases clouds closer to the earth. This gives us increased extreme weather. Increased cosmic rays also activate volcanoes. Japanese scientists said 9 of the 11 major volcanoes in Japan happened during Grand Solar Minimums.

I couldn't agree more with you! It's so important to respect each other's opinions, even when it comes to something as controversial as climate change.

Keeping an open mind and engaging in discussions with each other helps us gain a deeper understanding that can potentially lead to more informed decisions. Thanks for encouraging open dialogue, and let's continue to challenge our perspectives!

Keeping It Reel first of all it was and still is called Climate Change this name is way older than the other things you named. Secondly it wasn’t called Global cooling for the majority of the time. The first papers of Climate Change predicted Global warming, wich it did clearly 50 years later. After these papers a minority predicted the opposite, the Global cooling. But they couldn’t stay for long because of the overwhelming evidence of Global warming. And third you can still use Global warming it is still describes the average Global warming of the earth. But people got confused because in some places it was getting colder or was cold and didn’t really take account what “average“ meant in case of Global warming. So they took the old name again Climate Change wich fits as well. I would recommend you the KZreadr “Potholer54“ he is a science journalist. And explain in his videos false accusations about Climate Change far better than me. There’s a whole playlist debunking every sceptic Climate change argument. He will even argue with you in the comment section and read every link you sent him, sometimes they are hilarious as there was one guy trying to debunk him with an Link to a paper study. The irony was that this link was supporting potholer54s video. There’s also a video how you prove Climate change without these models and he don’t use the IPCC as his source for his videos, instead he take the published papers directly.

Over the next 20 years, the technological revolution we are currently undergoing will have a *far* greater impact on humanity than the changing climate will over the next century. If our species becomes extinct, it won't be because the planet is a few degrees warmer.

Keeping It Reel I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and guess that you're just apathetic. Climate change is real, there is no argument there. Temperature is getting hotter in summer and more brutally cold in winter, these massive hurricanes and tropical storms of unparalleled size, the ice caps melting. On that note, humans are not doing it. A loong time ago about 500 million years ago the CO2 ppm was about 7000ppm. Now it's just over 400ppm and people are losing their minds. Higher CO2 promotes plant growth which has happened over the past 35 years worldwide where Forrest and jungles are growing faster than ever in recorded history. The earth has been through 5 ice ages. That is a trend. Just like any other natural phenomena it will happen again. People fighting that is ok though right? Even though the whole argument with CO2 is we added it now it's ok to interfere with the earth healing itself. The earth will do what it has to so it keeps going. People are here for the ride. It doesn't hurt having renewable resources and energy because why use stuff that never comes back? Just dont think a world of green energy is going to save us.

Matthew Giles faster growing plants isn't necessarily better lol. First of all that only applies to C3 plants. C4 and CAM photosynthesis plants are actually at a disadvantage. This includes corn which is not only a staple food crop but a staple for biofuel production (ethanol). Second of all, C3 plants growing faster and producing more sugar is at the expense of nutrient density. This means that C3 crops humans eat are getting more sugary and less nutritious with increased atmospheric concentrations of CO2. That's definitely a downside. Plants are also affected by climate change because they cannot expand their range as rapidly as animals can, since they're immobile. As temperatures rise, the ideal range of plants will be further from the equator. Plants that don't adapt quickly enough will become extinct. Another way is through desertification. Deserts are EXPANDING, forests aren't getting bigger. Deserts = less green cover and very little biodiversity. Few plants are adapted to arid conditions but again, at this rate of change most plants won't be able to adapt genetically before becoming extinct.

Climate change also happens in nature, it happens in phases and there is plenty of history and evidence which document all of this. The point is, why are we not preparing people for the shock and how they will deal with learning to live in this new era of changing weather. I believe it is a worthy point as people are not prepared and not educated on what the impact could mean. I personally believe that the doubling of food prices over the next 10 years will be due to the battle for water and land in order to grow mono culture crops for bio fuels. The developing world is soon to be the No1 consumer by population on this planet and things are going to become very different for western civilisations over the next 150 years. I see 1000 years of dark ages coming and very little chance of the restoration of nature to where it was thousands of years ago. Humanity should be striving for the complete restoration of nature yet we continue to chop down forests and cause desertification by practicing both arable and pastoral farming on a huge scale. There are a million things we should be doing but we won't due to greed, power and basically these days due to capitalism. Hopefully the people of the future can find balance, somehow.

I knew before clicking that there was absolutely no way a highly biased organization like TED would give any airtime whatsoever to somebody with an opposing view but I clicked anyway!

This is a smart way of saying it. We should care why climate change happens, sure. It allows a deeper understanding of it and thus how we can stop it... But telling that to the public, all the details and intricacies, does nothing. What needs to be told, is how it effects us and how to stop it. We shouldn't care about climate change itself so much. Telling them the inner workings could make a fun and interesting seminar, but that's not what's important now is it. Instead of letting them try to derive what was important about it, we should be saying the important stuff from the start. That way it's possible to understand more.

Thanks for your representation/ That's what I've been waiting for so long someone should realize. Not that climate change is the crucial point but how it affects us which is important. People're talking so much about that and amplifying it in the unnecessary way.

This speech is for people who find the topic relatable to their way of living ( viewing climate change as a mystery and is long way down the road ) . The statistics on the yield and trade prices implies that climate change does affect our financial earning and people who care about their financial strength.....will try to reduce their carbon footprint . I tell with certainty that people who do care about the nature's balance won't be affected much by this video because if they do already care .....it means they are looking at it from 'the sustainability of our planet ' point of view and not by financial and lifestyle point of view . I can with certainty say that he also cares about the sustainability of our planet . I feel that he morphs to be one of the people who care less about sustainability and focus more on being happy each moment of their life

It's very likely though that you, as I surmise hailing from a developed country, will die from affluence. In that you are correct, yet to extrapolate your situation to the rest of the world is not. Also, historically, climate change is not a new thing. Grazing in the middle-east caused desertification, which in turn reduced crop yields, etc. Currently the driving factor in global climate change are predominantly greenhouse gases, but all sorts of human activities will just compound the issue.

Yesterday in southern California it was sunny and warm - beautiful. Today it was seven degrees cooler and cloudy...OH NO! THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING!

This cycle has repeated time and time again throughout history. Carbon levels rise, heat level rises correspondingly creating an ideal environment, that being hot with high carbon levels and high levels of storms bringing water into the central continents to feed to rainforests. The over abundance of oxygen producing plants then begin to deplete the atmosphere of CO2 and the earth begins too cool. It reaches a point where plants are locked into the equatorial zones, the ice sheets push down, and lower water levels cause droughts that exacerbate the loss of plant life. Eventually, CO2 levels begin the rise, and the cycle begins again. Climate change isn't bad, it's the natural order of the world.

I think the issue is often too overwhelming. I know it gets to me. Basically the extreme implication is that killing myself would make the planet better (no more carbon footprint). It would prevent torturous deaths of animals and children. But if we don't stand up for this cause with suicide - then we need to accept our duality. Accept that we will do a lot of wrong. And act towards improving things here and there within our own daily lives. Beating yourself up will likely just lead to more wrongdoing. Face the challenge realistically within your own life and still pay your bills - still have your goals - still take that flight to costa rica and increase your carbon footprint. But do some right along with it

This title is misleading; however, I think this could produce a positive effect. People who don't believe in climate change might watch this because they think it will reinforce their viewpoint, and then BAM!

I disagree with this idea. The science about climate change is really actually very important. Without the science we would be ill equipped to provide the appropriate knowledge to the engineers to correct the problem. Good engineers take science very seriously and personally, humans just don't have enough of them. The best thing to do is to educate people to do more engineering to create solutions where there are challenges. What if just about everyone in the first world were an engineer, just as much as everyone is currently literate? -->This is an idea worth spreading.

We can try and salvage the very worst effects, but really, there's an awful lot of pain and damage locked in to the inevitable warming en route to the homes near you now. So what i think David is saying is: It's way too late to care about the minutae of scientific quibbling and latest scientific findings; the main point is we need to continue to make major structural changes on the international, national, and local (regional and suburban) scales, and as soon as possible, because AGW *is* affecting us right now in all these very personal ways (price of insurance, food, way increased risks, etc.).

However, when I mentioned that salt water marshes in Texas are already being taken over by black mangroves and that South Carolina, despite being a red state, is investing research into making their struggling peach crop more resilient to the recent warming that has put stress on yields, he was slightly dumbfounded. Sometimes it's more effective to point out the palm tree in the deniers back yard that couldn't grow there 25+ years ago than it is to show them numerical data.
