Why you should be angry and why anger isn’t enough

December 23, 20132013, Action, Economy, Emissions Reduction, Policy, Protest


Published on YouTube Aug 20, 2013: About the Speaker: One of the world’s top climate diplomats, John Ashton is now an independent commentator and adviser on the politics of climate change. From 2006-12 he served as Special Representative for Climate Change to three successive UK Foreign Secretaries, spanning the current Coalition and the previous Labour Government. He was a cofounder and, from 2004-6, the first Chief Executive of the think tank E3G. From 1978-2002, after a brief period as a research astronomer, he was a career diplomat, with a particular focus on China. He is a visiting professor at the London University School of Oriental and African Studies, and a Distinguished Policy Fellow at the Grantham Institute for Climate Change at Imperial College.

About the Talk: If you are under 30 today, you are on track to find out in your lifetime what unmanageable climate change will be like. Business,politics and economics seem to have no response. What is going wrong and how can you use your voice if you want this fixed in time to fix your future?

Republicans over 65, with HS or less education from the south who are
Biblical literalists = the most ignorant segment of US population. For them
97% of Climate Scientists and 12,720 of 12,744 peer reviewed scientific
papers are some kind of fraud or hoax. Understanding why idiots like James
Inhofe and paid shills of the fossil fuel industry make absurd HOAX
statements is easy – they get paid for it by extremely wealthy oil
companies. The Earth is 4.5 billion years old – Evolution IS – and climate
deniers are mainly young Earth Creationists who “believe” dinosaurs lived
with mankind. My grandchild may not survive their collective stupidity.

Global warming is real. But what they are failing to remind everyone that the earth has been warming and cooling since it first formed. The notion that man has or can have any effect is pure fantasy. There are too many factors that govern our climate that are vastly more powerful then we are. If people would stop and think for a moment they might see this. The earths rotation, it’s orbit and the sun have the most effect and are mostly overlooked. We all know the earth wobbles on it’s axis and our orbit is not fixed. Then toss… Read more »

Please don’t respond to the comments of climate change deniers,they are
creating a debate where none exists to confuse public who come here to
learn about climate change.

And global warming can cause cooling as ice melts there will be more of
that ice surface area, now water, interacting with the oceans in energy
transfer, thus cooling the water.

Many factors affect temp, co2 is one. Overall, will increase temp when
everything else is constant. So a circumstance when temp was higher but
there was lower co2 does not mean co2 has no effect. had it been higher
levels of co2, it would have been even warmer in that case.

The only thing this guy says that is true is it’s about politics and
politics are all about control.

He’s 100% correct. Just one thing: At 15minutes in, when he starts to tell the younger generation how to go about making change, he forgets to mention what every other speaker forgets to mention – that the “global corporation” cannot be stopped, and therefore global warming will not be stopped, period. Governments are corrupt, and that is not going to end. So lets talk about what will happen after the world goes to hell, rather than wasting our time talking about how we can make a real change, which is impossible. These fools have a whole lot of nerve to… Read more »

This guy says “we have to take oil and gas out of transport and heating.”

The technology of fuel systems that produce 100 mpg or better for the
average size car has been around for a long time. There’s quite a few
videos on YouTube of such inventions dating back to the 70’s.

If this technology were in use today then global CO2 emissions would be
lower. The reason it isn’t in use is because of corporate interference
within government, and perversion among its officials.

Trying to use politics to change things in this matter still sounds like
someone whistling cheerfully from a cross..

Given the fact that land is being turned over to grow biofuels, at a time when millions of children are starving to death in their mothers arms. I can honestly say, without a science degree, or without doing too much research. Climate Change is complete and utter bollox, and the bullshit we are being fed is beyond laughable. Any solution that anyone comes up with, that doesn’t involve taxing people, is immediately dismissed. The solution to Climate Change is to shut down the NGO’s, shut down the Universities that are pumping out retards at great expense to themselves and society,… Read more »

These people want you to buy into the cleAn energy windfarms that kill
hundreds of bald eagles and other protected species, that you would be in
jail if you harmed one. However if you contributed to the Obama campaign,
you can kill them for free and no penalty. the wind turbines have
absolutely ruined the bautiful sierra nevadas. Now all you can see is ugly
friggin windmills. They take 20 years to pay for and they won’t last 15.
Great capital venture.

Pure hokum! Non sense. This fraud is propagating a lie and he knows it. He
just wants you to believe it too. Money to be made in the green business.
Selling carbon credits to themselves like that damn liar Al Gore. He buys
carbon credits from himself through acompany he created. Oh the lunacy of
these propagand peddelers.

It was 10 degrees warmer in the 1800’s than today, and Co2 levels were lower..
