No! to the double standard of arguments pushed by the Military Machine!
The agencies this Admin has ripped apart by firing civil servants has caused daily chaos. People are losing all of the financial, health, safety, protection and freedoms we’ve counted for decades. WE WANT THEM ALL BACK!!
What would the ramifications be if the worst happened? If a Russian attack, maybe WWIII resulting in catastrophic damage, but not Earth ending. But, if climate change is allowed to continue, the damage is self-perpetuating & self feeding. Question is, will Earth end up like Mars or Venus?
I think it more likely that we will end up much like after the comet hit the Yucatan. The sea will go anoxic much of the biosphere will die off & in a couple tens of thousands of years some type of life will return.
If the Russians attacked w/a conventional assault within a week 2 weeks top we would have to use tactical nukes to stop them, once that happened a general nuclear war was possible.
Gotta watch the entire thing, as he's NOT saying risk x harm analysis is illegitimate, he's saying it needs to be equally applied. Wish I also knew what year this was, as we are now spending ≈ a trillion per YEAR. Is this 1990?
Right. But it has to be a time when climate change science was well established, but also conservative resistance to do anything to mitigate was ingrained.
He's wrong. The Russians had a massive numerical advantage over western Europe & US forces in western Europe. France 🇲🇫 pulled out of NATO in 1966 too. The reasons the Soviet Union didn't attack was the threat that we'd use nukes to stop them.
U are missing my point and I won't argue with u. The US is a MARITIME POWER which requires a large navy &:air Force which is very costly. Russia is a CONTINENTAL POWER Which spends its military $ on a large land army which is cheaper.
I had the pleasure of meeting Carl Sagan briefly, not too long before he died. I was working at FAO Schwarz in Chicago, and he came in looking for a particular Shining Time Station train. As I searched for it in the stockroom, I thought, "That man sure sounds and looks like Carl Sagan." It was! 1/2
When he handed me his Amex, I saw his name, and began to gush a little. I asked for his autograph, and he wrote it on an FAO gift card. I still have it somewhere. 2/2
Boy oh boy. I often think of Carl Sagan and how he could have advanced America. I sure wish this very kind man with the amazing brain could have been with us longer. No doubt we would be better off.
Well I admire him but our technology edge over the Soviet Union was imperative to offset the sheer amount of equipment that Moscow had. So while I think he's a great scientist and such the Soviets didn't invade because we had better nukes.
We had better nukes because we spent the money! The money is the point. BTW, they had much bigger nukes.
The point is we rationalized spending the money because they MIGHT nuke us. We should do what we can to fight climate change because it is here.
https://youtu.be/Yf8mCThmsGc?si=IAE3mfxImKT03HyJ please listen to professor Sarah Payne here & the difference between MARITIME POWER VS CONTINENTAL POWER. the US is a MARITIME POWER like Great Britain was. It costs $$ to build a large navy & eventually when technology allowed a technically superior AIR FORCE.
Most of the warning sirens about Moscow and their ramping up or armaments ended up being false information. They really started arming up after we did. It was all a ploy to spend trillions on defense contractors. Kind of like the Vietnam War.
https://youtu.be/Yf8mCThmsGc?si=IAE3mfxImKT03HyJ please listen to professor Sarah Payne. This is an instructional video. The US is a MARITIME POWER vs RUSSIA/SOVIET UNION which is a CONTINENTAL POWER as is CHINA as well. We need a large NAVY & AIR FORCE which costs a lot of $$ unfortunately.
What a brilliant intellect! I believe today we have some of them, but I suspect we can't "see'' or "recognise" them as we are too busy fighting with each other or indulging ourselves with too many distractions.Furthermore we are in a different era, one that prevents us to think.The age of Stupidity.
Time for scientists to take over this government. Why on earth people want money grubbing ignorant self-serving politicians in charge is totally beyond my comprehension.
I admire him but our technology edge over the Soviet Union kept us on a par with them. The Soviets had a 6:1 advantage in tanks artillery aircraft APCs & MEN. They tried to starve Berlin in 1948, invaded Hungary in 1956 & Czechoslovakia in 1968.
https://youtu.be/Yf8mCThmsGc?si=IAE3mfxImKT03HyJ this is good video. THE US is a MARITIME POWER(MULTI OCEAN) whereas RUSSIA/SOVIET UNION even China are CONTINENTAL POWERS. our security relies on a large navy & air Force which costs a lot of $$.
So now Russia did invade and Climate change is felt nearly everywhere. We are turning our backs on Ukraine and STILL hiding our heads in the sand about climate. We need visionary ethical truthful leaders who can inspire the masses.
Our total economy is based on warfare it has all my life we will put people out on the street in destitution so we can give more money to the war machine how weird our entire society is based on violence rather than compassion
That this video was filmed nearly fifty years ago should make us realize that we have to fund environmental protection ourselves - we can do it. Check Guild in my links.
He is/was correct...I also respect, but not necessarily agree, with his agnostic views. I guess he so believed it that he didn't apply the same approach he expressed in this short clip. He was 100% sure.
Faith IS a strange thing....most have unprovable faith, or belief, in something. I do.
well thats easy, it wont affect US, we're just selling the futures of our grandchildren in exchange for an internet full of AI and a white house full of rapists... pretty simple in my eyes
Climate change hoax: 1960s Oil gone in 10 years, 1970s Ice Age in 10 years, 1980s Acid rain destroy all crops in 10 years, 1990s Ozone layer gone in 10 years, 2000- Ice caps gone in 10 years. New facts Ice caps increasing. Guess now go back to ICE AGE rhetoric.
Trump has failed at everything he's put his hands on...yet millions believe him. I'll take advice from a brilliant astronomer over a nepo-baby any day and twice on Sunday!
id rather have trump impeached and replaced by jd vance than drag down the republican party with his mismanagement of government, tbh. both parties suck in the current position
really? Sagan was much more than an astronomer, and if you'd ever tead a book you'd also know he was right.
No-nothing men should not be talking about discounting the insights of brilliant men.
i can look at a satellite video of a beach over the span of 20 years
being brilliant doesnt mean knowing everything about a specific topic immediately, and even i recognize that when i research
Whether you believe in climate change or not you'd have to be seriously arrogant and dumb not to at least err on the side of caution, and only a moron would claim that there isn't already too much pollution. People Carl Sagan and the renowned David Suzuki are what real world leaders are...
Thanks so much for posting this clip! I’m a veteran and a democrat who’s always believed in a strong military; Sagan made the most comprehensive and compelling for addressing climate change I’ve ever heard.
What is this ancient history? It was wrong when I was 20 and is still warped when I’m 74. I’ve frozen twice, drown when the sea covered all the ground and I’m sure the sun has fried us all. Old wrong is really wrong
35 yıl önce Carl Sagan özet olarak şunu demiş: "ABD 1945'ten sonra soğuk savaşta %10 ihtimalle gerçekleşecek bir Sovyet işgaline karşı 10 Trilyon $ harcadı. Neden iklim değişikliğiyle mücadele için aynısı yapılmıyor, bu nasıl bir çifte standart"

ONE ANSWER
Poor Management
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The argument here is that the same logic that justifies cold war spending should ALSO be applied to Climate change spending.
sensible no matter the topic.

Thank you.
Who better would understand the consequences of turning earth into venus?
Studying other planets - like venus - helps us understand global climates, which we can apply to THIS planet.
Like what happens when you pump it full of fucking hydrocarbons.
Your bullshit is dangerous and you REALLY need to shut the hell up.
jupiter is massive, and its in the outer solar system
knowing jupiter is big and cold doesn't make you a climate expert
tell me what hydrocarbons were being pumped into the atmosphere 12K yrs ago

The Iraqi oil well fiasco showed that. He predicted there'd be a serious effect from Iraqis setting the oil wells on fire.
There wasn't. Nobody cares.
We miss you, Carl.
A *smart* president who wanted to suppress international trade might have cut that instead of using tariffs...
