"Has anyone suggested mandatory accounting in the schools for green capitalism?" Unfortunately, "green capitalism" is an oxymoron: It's core values (profit imperative, drive for growth, valuing of money not nature) ALL drive us toward ecological collapse. Tp prevent collapse, we must replace capitalism with an economic models that fits the laws of nature.

@@karlwheatley1244 Capitalism is private ownership of the means of production. There is nothing about that which dictatez the social psychology of the culture. There is nothing that precludes mandatory accounting in the schools. Neither the Left nor the Right suggest it however.

@@psikeyhackr6914 "Capitalism is private ownership of the means of production." Except you left out many aspects of capitalist ideology. "Capitalism is private ownership of the means of production FOR PROFIT, and capitalism champions competitive and materialistic self-interest and consumerism and mocks caring, sharing and cooperation. Because capitalism values profits over the well-being of people and the planet, it creates profits by underpaying workers, overcharging customers, and destroying species and ecosystems--while aggressively avoiding any attempts to hold it accountable for the damage it has done. Neoliberal capitalist ideology IS the dominant culture of modern civilization and it destroyed more caring, fair, and sustainable worldviews on its ascent.

From what I have seen, Tom Nelson's channel is filled with clever pseudo-science designed to confuse people about the issue, but it only convinces people who don't know anout science to see through the claims made there. "All of this is made on the assumption that manmade CO2 is the main driver of a change in climate." Well, that's because it WAS and IS the main driver of global warming and climate disruption this time around. As a non-condensing gas that stays aloft for centuries, once you jack up global CO2 levels significantly, then unless there is some powerful offsetting cooling force (volcanoes), that increase in CO2 levels sets in motion a chain reaction that keeps water vapor, CO2, and methane levels higher for centuries--thus making the planet warmer.

"I'm calling b.s. You have balls blaming capitalism." Well, if you stop and really think about it, capitalism pursues profits and growth above all else, and it achieves those by devouring and destroying nature and turning her into dollar bills. If we want to avoid ecological and societal collapse, we must replace capitalism with an economic system that values the wellbeing of people, societies, other species, and ecosystems over profit. By definition, such a system would not be CAPITALism. Take care.

"The pattern is called weather." Weather and climate are two different things, and until you learn the difference, you can't understand this issue. "The lie that does not consider solar variability, volcanic heating, cooling and rain fall effects,....the changes in earths orbits or even cloud formation" Climate scientists include in their research and models ALL the significant factors that affect global temps. This has nothing to do with Greta--a mountain of research--thousands of research studies--prove that we caused almost all recent global warming and that it poses a threat to the future of life on Earth. "the Roman (and other) warm periods" Those did not involve simultaneously GLOBAL warming: Tiny little Europe got warmer but the planet as a whole was cooler than now. The last time the Earth has been this warm on average was around 120,000 years ago, and the last time CO2 levels were this high was around 14 million years ago. The crises are real and urgent.

"In no case can CO2, and for several independent reasons, be the cause of any climatic variations." Sorry, a mountain of research proves that to be false. Maybe go read the research so you can learn how it works? Human excess CO2 emissions total about 3% per year of the size of the total carbon cycle, but like making $100K a year but spending $103 K a year, our excess emissions drive global CO2 levels higher year after year. We have raised global CO2 levels more than 50% since 1776. "when trees appeared at the beginning of the Cambrian the CO2 level was more than 15 times higher than today" During the Cambrian, there was little to no life on land. The explosion of life was marine life. Furthermore, you may be a physics professor, but here's a tip about biology and botany: All species and ecosystems do best when the conditions they evolved under and are adapted to remain stable--too-rapid changes in those climate conditions cause mass extinctions of life. We are already seeing profound harms to species and ecosystems all over the world due to man-made global warming. The magnetic field has little effect on global temps.

@@karlwheatley1244 here are some beautiful statements!. *relationship : Flow <==> concentration:* It is easy to demonstrate that the order of magnitude of the anthropogenic flow of CO2 is very much less than 1% of the natural flows of the carbon cycle. And therefore, if the variations in atmospheric concentration were only due to humans (to this anthropogenic flux << 1%) then, and since it is a small variation around an equilibrium, there is proportionality between *the variations* of the flux and concentration quantities ! It follows that the anthropic increase (due to Man) in the atmospheric concentration, *at the new equilibrium reached*, would only be < 1%... apart from transient phenomena linked *to the kinetics* of regulatory and balancing mechanisms... such as for example the kinetics of photosynthesis, the densification of plants and their geographical extension (half-life of CO2 a little greater than ten years in accordance with the rhythm of plant growth and proven by the evolution of atmospheric concentrations of carbon radionuclides after the Dirac peak of nuclear tests)... the rest of the increase in concentration (favorable for plants) can therefore only be due to other causes, easy to identify. ! It was also obvious that the equilibrium shift could only be tiny due to the fact that plants are deficient ¹* in CO2 and are only waiting for this to pounce on the slightest molecule of CO2 { with an induced time shift by the time necessary for their growth, their densification and their geographical extension <==> in the naive analogy ²* of a container (the atmosphere) which would be emptied by a tap (reduced in this naive example to photosynthesis alone ) the opening of the tap itself increases in addition to the output flow which already increases with the height of the water (atmospheric concentration) }. Furthermore, NASA has measured a notable increase in the planet's leaf area index. ¹* it is impossible to deny this fact since in certain greenhouses CO2 is injected in order to boost the growth of plantations (almost the only real greenhouse effect of CO2). For the same reason, agricultural yields have increased on the planet, and the planet's leaf area index, measured by NASA, is increasing significantly. . ²* naive but unfavorable to our hypothesis since we reduce the regulatory mechanisms to photosynthesis alone ! . Claude Sponem, physics professor.

*Other causes than CO2!* Other causes, much more credible than the very necessary for Life and quite innocent CO2, can explain the *local* climatic variations observed, *which are in fact nothing extraordinary* [1.2 ° C in a century and a half] ! Below you will find a much more *plausible* hypothesis as being *one* of the causes of the observed *local* climate variations, CO2 cannot, and for several independent reasons, have the harmful role attributed to it ! This cause *a little more plausible than the magico-climatic properties of CO2*, is *THE ***_SIGNIFICANT_* SUBSTANCE* of the *EARTH MAGNETIC FIELD* since the *1870s* ! On the one hand, the magnetic poles are moving and moving faster and faster (~ 50 km/year, 500 km in ten years), and, on the other hand, the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field is dropping by significantly and more and more quickly... However, the Earth's magnetic field interacts with [and protects us from] *cosmic rays* (flux of protons, electrons, atom nuclei and other charged particles, but also neutrons, neutrinos, gamma rays, etc.) coming from the Sun but also from the Galaxy. Part of them is diverted, another part trapped at the level of the Van Allen belts. These charged particles (or the ions formed in the atmosphere under their impact) are deflected and their trajectories wrap around the magnetic field lines, and therefore under this acceleration they radiate , partly in the visible. The atoms/molecules ionized or excited by this radiation (or their consequences) emit different lights when returning to their fundamental state. These cosmic rays are also responsible for the phenomenon of *spallation*. Thanks to their high energy, they induce nuclear reactions in the atmosphere on the nuclei of light atoms found in the upper atmosphere. These reactions, again, incidentally, give rise to electric charges (electrons, positrons, ions, α particles, etc.). All these phenomena and the associated light emissions give rise to the *aurora borealis* . The more the flux of cosmic rays increases, for example due to solar overactivity, the more they can be observed at lower latitudes. Likewise, the more the Earth's magnetic field weakens, the more we will see the Northern Lights at lower and lower latitudes. All these phenomena born from the interaction *[cosmic rays, magnetic field, atmosphere]* therefore lead to the appearance of immense ionized air masses where the density of electric charges (positive and negative) increases considerably. These electric charges will therefore strongly attract the polarized (and polarizable) molecules of water and thus become accretion centers for these water molecules. Thus, *all things being equal* (density of water vapor molecules, total pressure, temperature, etc.), a drop in the magnetic field which allows more cosmic rays to penetrate the atmosphere, will, via these electric charges, induce the condensation of water molecules into fine droplets or ice crystals, causing the formation of clouds which would otherwise not be formed and/or accelerating their formation . Professor Nir Shaviv {Israeli-American physics professor, University of Jerusalem} has, in the triptych *[cosmic rays, magnetic field, atmosphere]* studied over the ages the influence of the flow of cosmic rays (solar and galactic) and demonstrated a significant correlation between this flow and the planet's "average temperature". {this flow has evolved over the course of its history and for example for the "galactic" part of this flow depending on whether the Solar system and therefore the Earth was in an arm of our galaxy (Milky Way) or outside.} *But a drop in the Earth's magnetic field would have the same effect.* This has several consequences, there is therefore less water vapor, especially at night, since it has condensed more. But, on the other hand, the clouds formed increase the local albedo of the planet and reflect more solar radiation during the day. However, it is especially at the beginning of the night phase, when the drop in temperature further increases the condensation of water vapor that the formation of these clouds will be amplified and where the water drops and ice crystals created will *not absorb* but *reflect* the infrared (and over the entire “range”!) emitted by the earth’s surface. Everyone, and everyone, at least in the countryside, has noticed how the clear nights without clouds are cold and how the nights with cloud cover are warm (reflection by the clouds of infrared emitted by the ground and return of these towards the earth's soil). However, we must not forget that the Earth (in fact the Sun, Earth, fund of the Universe system) is a *thermodynamic creator* *** which describes a thermodynamic cycle (the synodic cycle) between the Hot Source that is the Sun and the cold source that is the background of the Universe at three Kelvins. And it is precisely at night when the temperature decreases that, on average, these clouds will form more easily, while it is precisely the phase of the synodic period where this half of the earth's surface "sheds its heat" by radiation towards the bottom of the Universe at 3 Kelvin. The evacuation of heat towards the cold source is hindered. . The clouds thus formed will give rise to a regime of “precipitation” that is disrupted compared to the previous situation ! Seen "from above", on the North side for example, the Earth has two particular points: 1) the geographic North Pole is the point through which the Earth's axis of rotation passes. 2) the North magnetic pole (which from the magnetic point is a south pole) which is not confused with the first, moves around and moves away from it (the two magnetic poles could even be reversed, and the pole magnetic North become a true north pole from a magnetic point of view). Seen from above, if we trace the meridian passing through the geographic pole and the mobile magnetic pole, climatic disturbances will be reduced for the regions located on this meridian, increased for the regions located in the opposite direction. As a result, cloud cover is modified, temperatures and climates, with local effects, as well. *** A thermodynamic creator is a system describing a cycle between a Hot Temperature Source and a Cold Temperature Source. As is already the case in a *thermodynamic engine* ; the heat flow tends to flow from the Hot Source to the Cold Source but the engine only lets this flow while, simultaneously, taking part of this energy flow in the form of work. The same goes for the thermodynamic creator (without capital C) who diverts part of this flow, not to produce work but complexity {self-organized emergent structures included in looped systems stabilizing them, allowing them to self-organize. maintain and grow and even duplicate (or even reproduce). A special case, but significant for us, being living beings as we know them. Particularly misguided in relation to the Bar-Tabac moralism of ecological "thought", is Roderick Dewar's Law which requires these structures to *dissipate as much energy as possible* , *as quickly as possible* in order to increase the transfer of Sun energy ==> rest of the Universe and accelerate the growth of entropy. This is why the energy balance of planet Earth (impossible in any case to be carried out seriously) of warmist delusions can, for this second reason, *only be false* and even ridiculous at the same time, stupidity and conceit since They omit this flow of energy, otherwise impossible to evaluate, which will transform into negentropy at the average temperature of the planet (in organization, complexity, etc.). .

@@user-yq2wk6yg8s to place a space freight elevator into space you need Carbon cable. It's very strong and way lighter than steel. It's a long way to outer space so the cable will be heavy. The upper end will be rotating with the Earth so the cable will be taut. Just hop on the elevator push the button and get off at the hotel in outer space.

Incidentally, the reason that we have all these problems, such as climate change and other forms of pollution, and cultural exploitation, is BECAUSE corporations are not required to fulfill a clear ethical mandate that INCLUDES ecological protection in order to become established in the first place. Such a mandate might be similar to what I call my three "Laws of Ethics & Sustainability", applicable to ALL sentient species that reside within the Universe for all time! Here they are: First, All sentient species must recognize that they are part of an ecosystem and totally dependent upon it for their health and survival. Thus all actions must serve to enhance the capacity resilience, diversity, integrity, diversity and stability of both the sentient species and its ecologically-based life-support system to ensure the long-term survival of the species. Stated more simply, the sentient species, through their actions as keystone species and planetary stewards, must create an ecosystem that provides their progeny an ecosystem that is BETTER able to provide for the health and survival of the species than the one that they inherited from their parents. Second, they must propagate their species (and their ecologically-based life-support system) throughout the universe wherever alien life cannot be found, thus increasing their potential for survival. Third, they must protect and defend this life from hazards or threats, arising from both internal and external sources that, if unchecked, would harm the life contained there in. That's it! How the corporations, organizations and government agencies fulfill this triple mandate is left up to the entity. Thus, it is a performance standard NOT a prescription. Follow these three laws and your species will live FOREVER (have eternal life) and continue evolve into a moral species (like unto (a) god). Fail to follow these laws and, by your own actions, the species will go extinct (and be replaced by another species who will then have its chance). No gods need be invoked to punish or save. Our fate is in our own hands. Rather than strive to consume more and more energy to become a Type I Kardashev species (which, lacking ethics, does not lead to the advancement of a civilization and simply produces a larger hammer to be used for self-extinction), we should strive to become MY Type I moral civilization - one that has successfully created an ethical and ecologically sustainable planetary wide civilization. Let’s do it, let’s become a Type I ETHICAL civilization!
