Can We Restore Earth’s Climate? | Dr Johan Rockström

There is a basic conceptual misunderstanding in present politics, who consider the restoration of a climate sustaining life on this planet to be the antagonist of a successful economy. The economy - this term is an ideology-driven generalisation by its own right - will always be favoured by those in power, since their foremost interest is pumping money to the top 10 percent of the richest people on earth. We are effectively transforming the health capacities of this world into - in a purely materialistic sense - worthless digits on bank accounts. But in reality, the direct cause of inhabitable conditions and exponentially increasing damage done by catastrophes such as floodings etc. will automatically result in economic collapse, de-valuating all the digits in ther accounts and finally fully obliterating all the sacrifices the working people have made without equally profiting. If we do not change course, humanity will go extinct because stopping climate change was cost-inefficient and the richest could not make good profit from it. What a world we live in. Thinking reversely, rescuing this planet also means rescuing the economy, which in turn should be worth some effort, shouldn't it?

Thumbs down for hope and a safe landing. I'm old enough to know that's bullshit.

Trump Incoming, say goodbye to any plan to save our Planet 🌎

It is terrible that we now know how to fix it but due to political powers and their shortsightedness, we are unwilling to do so.. so now what? It is maddening to see the results of this election, knowing that the climate is not something they even want to consider.

It's a good presentation but it would have been nice if the video had shown his slides instead of always focusing on him or on the audience.
