Martin is one of the most respected scientists in hydrogeology, globally. The time I had working with him at Imperial College is the most formative in my career. Sangat menyegarkan mendengarkan ulasan teknis tentang mitigasi masalah perubahan iklim daripada retorika ambigu yang melulu disajikan di panggung panggung besar politik.

Martin Blunt is my professor! Saya sedang kuliah di Master programnya di Imperial College London (Geo-Energy with Machine Learning and Data Science) really happy to see this😊

Unbelievable! It just feels like déjà vu because I had an online meeting with Martin Blunt months ago to discuss a specific master's degree program (Geo-Energy with Machine Learning and Data Science) at Imperial College London. What an inspiring person he is! Anyway, sorry for the out-of-context comment. Keep up the good work and content Pak Gita!

Mr. Gita, how do we now ensure that today's young people understand and are interested in studying things and problems like this?

One thing that we all should be thankful, these insights and knowlege are totally free! Thanks in advance, Pak Gita and Professor Martin Blunt for the great discussion! 🙏🙏

Politicians and scientists are often moving in opposite, but each country even the nation has always the “bridging” clan of society called “artist”, a creative-minority who design the bridge to let the two fundamental sides work and meet the same convergent.

Untuk hal yg fundamental spt ini tidak banyak netizen Indonesia yg berkerumun seperti pada konten-konten yg lain. Saya kok jadi bertambah risau dengan Indonesia ku...

i didn't know why i couldn't focus on his explanations as long as they were talking about. I just could focus on his accent, how the ways he explained and where he could explain the points clearly, such as a great moment to listen up this video. thanks a lot for inviting him on one of your place, Mr. Gita Wirjawan !

Wow, Martin Blunt! saya sudah subscribe channel beliau dulu untuk belajar Petrofisika dan Teknik reservoir.

It's a nice topic to be discussed but unfortunately not many people are interested.

The bumpy ride to the cliff is only getting more intense. Hopefully the climate crisis will take over our political crisis before we are all gone.

The whole issue w climate science is that is has been heavily politicized since the 1990s w the IPCC as structural arbitor. The idea that maybe, possibly, the natural variability has been downplayed (by disgarding certain factors) and human Co2 emissions upplayed using flawed recalibration techniques and modelling is never taken seriously. Then there is the whole funding issue which corrupts outcomes. So, what are the changes the IPCC will conclude in a future report that things are not nearly as dramatic as previously thought? The answer is zero. Then there are actors who really believe things are even more dire. They wont even accept the IPCC's conclusions. And what does the media do? Hyping up alarm. Constantly.

Thanks, Pak Gita, for the fruitful and enlightening discussion! I think most people aren't really interested because this topic is slightly tough to understand for the majority, and they aren't aware of its urgency. Sadly, once it discussed in public space, lot of politicians utilize environmental issues as a political ploy only.

Thank you for such an inspiring conversation that discusses how important it is to accelerate the development of technology, especially CCUS, to mitigate climate change. It aligns with what I'm studying now in New York City. The main idea of CCUS is pretty clear: we see that fossil fuel demand keeps increasing because global energy consumption rapidly increases every year, and growing population and economic activity require energy. On the other hand, we don't want to add more CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, so there are no other alternatives to deal with these facts besides CCUS. Moreover, another reason why CCUS is essential is that if we could stop using fossil fuels today (which is impossible), the CO2 content in the atmosphere would still be 450 ppm; it would not decrease even if we stop using fossil fuels. Stopping fossil fuel consumption means not adding more CO2 into the atmosphere, but it will not reduce CO2 content, and this 450 ppm still contributes to global warming. Therefore, we need technology that can capture CO2 in the air, reducing it to the pre-industrial level. I think CCUS is not an option, it is a must.

kali ini bahasannya berbobot dan agak kompleks perlu ada lanjutannya ini 😊

Sains itu politik, tapi bukan hal kekuasaan. Tetapi hal fase-2 sebelum ketidak tahuan menjadi tahu. Dst. Politik itu banyak cabangnya dan perlu disiplin ilmu agar tak liar. Tuhan tak pernah kritik ikhtiar dan usaha-2 manusia sebenarnya.

Unfortunately i can't joined to be a membership of this channel, coz i don't have enough money for that.. Yet, thanks Pak Gita for sharing this valuable conversation free..

A highly enjoyable talk. I hope more people can watch this podcast, especially the youngsters

Thanks Pak Gita, insightful 🔥

The video featuring insights from Professor Martin offers an engaging and thought-provoking examination of Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) technologies. Despite the scepticism expressed by some experts regarding the efficacy of CCUS in mitigating CO2 emissions and combating climate change, this divergence of opinions introduces a valuable alternative perspective. As an Indonesian student at Imperial College, my research is dedicated to developing a tiered risk assessment for CCUS technologies. My interest is particularly piqued by the multifaceted challenges-technical, economic, and environmental risks-that this field encounters. These hurdles underscore the complexity of advancing CCUS technologies to a stage where they can significantly contribute to carbon mitigation efforts. It is my hope that CCUS technology will not only progress effectively but also that Indonesia will play a pivotal role in this global movement. Furthermore, I anticipate that the development of CCUS technology will achieve commercial viability in the foreseeable future, marking a crucial step towards sustainable environmental management and energy production. This discourse reflects the critical need for continued research, innovation, and international collaboration to realize the potential of CCUS technologies in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing climate change, thereby contributing to a more sustainable future. Kudos to all of the Endgame team for bringing such a fascinating topic as this

The greatest conversation Pak

Western people tend to mistake the freedom of expressing political ideas with freedom of expressing ideas in general. In China, the political structure is relatively more rigid then the liberal democracy states, but it does not limit how people think and express the ideas of innovation, especially in science and technology aspects. It limits the idea of changing the political system to a multi-party systems like the west, but it does not limit other ideas at all. Yet, the political system ensures a stable society that allows all other areas to grow dynamically, such as economy, education, culture, technology, etc. The political system infuses state's attention and concentration on innovations, dumping a lot of public resources and infrastructure into it. This is why you see a so-called "autocracy" state drives the country grow so much so rapidly never seen in the history of mankind. Don't just equalize autocracy to limit of innovation.

Professor Martin Blunt from Imperial College discusses the pressing issue of climate change amidst a backdrop of political polarization and societal division. Blunt traces his academic journey from England to his passion for physics, emphasizing the imperative to transition away from fossil fuels to mitigate climate impact. Highlighting the disparity in energy accessibility, he explores potential solutions including social re-engineering of energy behavior and technological innovations. Blunt underscores the importance of critical thinking and education in addressing complex global challenges, while expressing cautious optimism tempered by the need for innovative solutions to avert potential environmental catastrophe.

bintang tamu pak Gita selalu luar biasa

Gita woww

endgame always give somothing the best to audience and all vidio insighfull

Justru saya khawatir politik mematikan science yg memang sangat sudah mampu terbukti sebagai kiblat kemajuan peradaban didunia🤔

Jika anda kegemukan obesitas atau mengidap kencing manis diabet...puasa dan mengurangi volume konsumsi adalah resep utama yang paling orisinil dan pasti murah. Yang lainnya hanyalah jalan pembodohan dan penipuan. Karena politik adalah tentang mengelabui dan "batasan masalah" dalam sains bisa dibeli. Ditawari menu import lain yang mahal dan sama-sama sampah, obat-obatan hingga salon sedot lemak adalah tujuan ekonomi yang bukan termasuk solusi permanen dan paten. Jika merasa tidak dipolitisasi dan bukan narasi penipuan, Isu dan agenda perubahan iklim "akhir-3 ini" seharusnya diganti dengan frase "peningkatan kadar polusi".

I still believe that the issue of climate change will be tackled by a revolutionary invention

Bersyukur lah om lahir di negeri nusantara sa'at ini. Coba kalau lahir di jaman kerjaan nusantara dulu sya yakin bnyk yg jdi budak bahkan pikiran manusia pun di kotak2

🔥

Ahh Gue juga pengen komen pake bahasa Inggris tapi sayangnya ga sebagus orang² hebat disini

We are now very close to 1,5C. Difficult to say is it it 1,35C, 1,5C or a bit more as the baseline is somewhat vague to cut it short. Blunt should update his knowledge here. Surprised that Blunt isn't aware of the real predicament i.e. for ex. we can not just reduce emissions at this point, but we have to ..geo engineer.. our way out of the situation. Too many large scale positive feedbacks in play already today not to do so.

Try bringing a well known economist, Dale Spencer for your talk.

Climate change is just an economic problem. The problem, in my opinion, is that economics is far behind the physics. As the result, we have a lot of types of weaponry, that can destroy the humanity. But we still don't have a sustainable economic model. This model, liberal one, was a response to Maltusian trap of Holland and Britain in 17-18 century. This resulted in permanent wars in Western Europe, unconstrained growth and unconstrained industrial and science development. Then, of course, was decrease of fertility, social security, scarce labor force and shared prosperity as a result. Unlimited consumption is not a sequence of human nature, but an effect of economic model. Some countries couldn't also stop the growth of population and have created the bigger trouble. The economic model need to be replaced, but not due to the climate change, but as a result of the world security requirements.

Bang Gita, walau sangat ingin, saya tidak berani membayangkan Abang mengundang Komeng. Kalau soal substansi, saya percaya itu penting, setidaknya bermanfaat. Tapi yang pasti keren adalah transmisinya. Ditunggu...

The fact is science is political in so far as if you articulate views that challenge the current paradigm you invariably get ostracised by way of either funding career or both. Then moving on to our societies, these definitely in the UK and US are broken. The reasons are complex but broadly inequality, inadequate political systems, too much technology and too much information. The net result is an antisocial mentality that is manifested from a stressed, psychologically unhappy populous. So whether it's COVID or climate change all arguments get a largely paranoid kick back that may well signal our dystopian destiny some time soon.

Things will happen, problems will be addressed, as long as poor people suffer and rich people don't. If you think there's any other option you are dreaming.

Reengineering people behavior a.k.a changing people's habits in Indonesia actually a disaster creating more social conflict , we all know Indonesian are free speech and their elites owns many coal mining and illegal mines. Not to mention arranging people to take public transportation, also state officials never take public transportation. Moreover, they usually live far away on the edge of town

😮

Baiklah prof martin.. saya akan bertanya pada sahabatku patrick star yg mrmpunyai banyak ide2 sistem inovatif berdasarkan angka2 matematic beserta pembuktian yg logis Untuk mengatasi agar para bankir pedagang minyak sepi peminat karena CO2 yg dihasilkan menjadi biang kerok bencana diseluruh dunia. Semoga sistem itu dapat mendorong manusia lebih percaya diri dan tidak menghawatirkan kehidupan masa depannya kelak yg akan datang.. Saya sangat setuju guru digaji melebihi bankir.. Dan ternyata teman bicara didepan anda mantan bankir😂😂 wkwkwk..

Fossil fuels are good, depriving developing nations access to hydro-carbons condemns them to poverty, sickness, and deforestation. The contribution of humans to co2 is minuscule, and if we went net-zero this minute, co2 would continue to rise at the same rate. Co2 is life, if anything we are suffering a lack of co2. How much is the W.E.F paying you?

Consensus view based on a series of flawed assumptions..

Is this the level of conversation that two intellectuals should have at this point in time? Are you de facto deniers?

Ask bill n co to burn their private jets😂

Higher CO2 is a blessing, it greens the planet. CO2 level was too low for optimal plant growth. Its still low, but its getting better.

You guys are always trying to solve just only economic problems. But you couldn't do it because the economics you studied in school was fake and now outdated. 1. You don't need to produce such a crazy amount of electricity for all of the humanity - humanity doesn't need that much. A person’s SWB consists of basic needs + help from relatives or the state + plus good relationships + achieving your goals. You don't need a personal car with a carrying capacity of 3 tons and a power of 250 hours per person, in most cases a bicycle is the best solution. Since 15 thousand US dollars, the country's SWB stops growing. Less inequality means higher SBB. 4 thousand modern dollars was enough for the USSR to be at the same SWB level as today's Austria and Italy. 2. The best way to mitigate the Earth's ecological footprint is to reduce the number of people. This is the most important topic for Indonesia and it is easy to achieve. 3. The more educated a nation is, the larger part of the population is prescribed antidepressants.
