The Quiet Part Out Loud | Frankly 13 4,355

• social media and algorithms, speak largely to  each other. so in these tribes, a renewable energy   tribe or a climate change activist tribe, we can  speak the truth out loud and very articulate and   loudly in extreme voices. they will hear it,  but outside of our tribe, they don't hear it.  

Rex Weyler: “Crisis in the Ecology Movement” | The Great Simplification #11 4,228

• hijacked by the environmental movement how climate change is one of many issues that have a root cause of overshoot and
• and i have been uh talking for a long time about climate change about the environmental movement about what we
• you know i'm in favor of stopping climate change or whatever or and everybody expects it it's not news
• was was quite refreshing in that they did not mention climate change in the entire movie yet everyone that was aware
• of what was going on knew it was kind of about climate change and they made it like a parody almost
• we've said the right thing that we want to stop climate change and so forth by the way i agree with you about the the
• i think the message needs to be a lot larger than climate change we we have an overshoot crisis
• truly believe that we can solve climate change by growing renewable energy and getting rid
• simplification the end of economic growth uh climate change ecosystem destruction etc so it really is i mean

Josh Farley: "The Past, Present, and Future of Human Cooperation" | The Great Simplification #07 3,437

• if we believe what the scientists are saying about climate change but had we always been paying attention to those
• is challenges that require cooperation at a much larger scale so climate change being the painfully obvious one
• we need to cooperate at the scale of the problem climate change of course is just a symptom
• screwed because we're going to get runaway climate change and so we're in a world where you know
• china and you know iran and saying look we got this global climate change problem that's much more serious if we
• could you know reduce the chance of catastrophic climate change i think he's raised it to two percent of gdp which
• growing at three percent per year he's saying we could address climate change if we accept our living standards from

• was relation of the o-zone layer, that fortunately we were able to solve. but then, climate change, pollution, toxification, invasive species, emerging diseases, over exploitation, habitat encroachment, habitat destruction, over killing and so on, all these
• is it changes regionally. in some regions it's pesticides, in other regions it's more climate change and so on. but what is clear is that this is happening.
• just imagine how fragile is the area that these 200 acres dispersed in a few million other acres can be easily be wipe out by fires, by illegal logging and by climate change. so, insects are a good example to talk about how different factors, human factors are causing
• gerardo ceballos: because most of the status in terms of species extinction on climate change, on pollution and so on is getting us to a tipping point where pandemics like covid, like loss of ecosystem services, and so on are becoming so big and
• nate hagens: okay. and do you think that the biggest risk of that happening is climate change? or is it 10 things all together?
• or is it 10 things all together? or is climate change the real granddaddy of that risk? gerardo ceballos: no, i think species extinction, it's as bad
• gerardo ceballos: no, i think species extinction, it's as bad as climate change, but it hasn't been understood. just by itself, we take out climate change and we continue with the problems of habitat
• as climate change, but it hasn't been understood. just by itself, we take out climate change and we continue with the problems of habitat destruction, over-killing, diseases and so on-
• we will face a sixth mass extinction. if, unfortunately, on top of that, we put climate change, that will mean that we will affect many more species much more rapidly.

Steve Vavrus: "Arctic Fever? Taking the Arctic’s Temperature" | The Great Simplification #35 3,327

• and so this was sort of mid to late 80s. and just at that time, climate change was emerging as another major environmental issue by the late 80s.
• and so that became natural to merge my interest in weather with environmental concerns, acid rain, and then climate change. and so then when i had time to pick grad school decided that the climate would be the way
• just to get us off in the right direction can you give an overview of the importance of the arctic for earth's climate and with respect to climate change? steve vavrus: yeah, so the arctic and antarctic are earth's
• there's a lot of people doing research on it. and one of the questions that you asked is how it's related to climate change. it's such a difficult one to answer because these sorts of polar vortices and heat domes
• are natural too. i mean, regardless of climate change, they've been happening forever. so, when one of them occurs, it's difficult to pinpoint and say, well, this one is because
• so, when one of them occurs, it's difficult to pinpoint and say, well, this one is because of climate change. that one wasn't.
• and so when you start to get intensities of events that are outside the historical record, then we take notice and possibly attribute it to climate change in this case, a warming climate.
• explain that to you. and you were so worried about climate change, that any news that we weren't going to hit those outlier eventual rcp high numbers, that made you more hopeful about the end result.
• and that there are also unknown unknowns. as far as climate change, per se, setting aside human behavior and energy and such, but as far as climate change, how much are unknown knowns and unknown unknowns still
• as far as climate change, per se, setting aside human behavior and energy and such, but as far as climate change, how much are unknown knowns and unknown unknowns still out there, or have you guys really honed in on understanding how the climate works?
• but they're location, their speed, how wavy they are. those are all sorts of things that can, and probably would change with climate change, either colder or warmer, or even these drastic kinds of climates that you're describing in
• between the two and it's largely because the antarctic has that gigantic mass of ice, that it is slower to respond to climate change than is the arctic. so, one of the reasons why we hear so much about the arctic and arctic amplification
• at the end of this interview. but for now, i'm just curious if we just stick to climate change, not human systems or our economy or our culture or anything like that, of the things that you research, what thing
• so, i'm emotionally alarmed when i hear these news stories pretty much every day about some new impact or discovery about the climate system and climate change. so, there is that.
• nate hagens: i know this. but climate change is only one of many other human induced human impacted environmental crises, like biodiversity, population decline of animals, insects, fish, et cetera, endocrine
• somewhat misleading. it's not like climate change is going to stop in 2100. nate hagens: it is misleading.
• i'm sure you know this, but if you overlay a chart of co2 with all the convening of partying parties, climate change, international conferences, there's pretty much one for one correlation. all those meetings have not changed the trajectory.
• what is the class you're going to teach this fall? are you teaching a climate change class? steve vavrus: well, i mainly do full-time research, but
• lot more seriously, even to the point where they often cross political party affiliations in terms of their positions on climate change. and so i'm really inspired.
• compared with middle aged folks like me and older people, and they're going to be around a lot longer and they're going to experience a lot more climate change than i will. and so it does give me hope to think that the folks coming up who are younger and they're
• and so these are things that are close to my heart and some of them are tied together with climate change like environmental justice. nate hagens: well, i'm thinking about that more and more
• and yet they too contributed next to nothing to the problem. so, for a lot of us, depending on where you live, we start to see climate change as, oh, it's hotter this summer, or maybe a discomfort, or i have to run my air conditioner more different
• steve vavrus: well, i was going to close with the statement that climate change is a human caused crisis and so it has human solutions. but i've already said that.

DJ White: "Ocean Effectivism" | The Great Simplification #51 3,264

• what about all the tens of billions of dollars?  i don't know the exact number, but it's huge,   dedicated towards environmental protection and  climate change and large organizations and yet we   see co2 and environmental damage just accelerate  every year. is this what you're talking about,  
• called the nte, the near term extinction  movement, that thinks the planet is already   broken and that we are in runaway venus sort  of climate change that are not only going to   cause humans to eventually go extinct, but that we  will go extinct in the next decade or so. and it's  
• as you can imagine, i agree with you. when i talk  to someone who said, "we're going to go extinct   in 10 years because of the positive feedbacks  of climate change are certain and near term,"   i don't entirely disagree with them. if  they would say in the next hundred years
