- Oceanographer for the U.S. Navy, RADM David Titley discusses the hot topic of climate change, and its impending ramifications on national security. Listen as he details some of the top facts and figures you should know about climate change and your future, explained in terms that even the most unfamiliar with science would be able to understand.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
Thank God, We have military men like this who are deep thinkers with brilliant minds, long range vision and the collective wisdom of ages!
Excellent presentation, it gives me hope that we can rationally deal with the challenges of climate change.
He went to a college and learnt about climate change, just like many others. Wow, so simple!
yeah. he went to college and understands it. You didn't, and don't.
Dick Hamilton I did, and you don't. Frankly the boring nature of this talk is the tip-off. Just like the US war machine will invest a fortune to create a case against foreign powers so that they can be threatened, the same organization is capable of mobilizing itself in the interest of spreading global warming hysteria. Not all of these schemes work, of course, but the bare fact is that without being capable of spreading propaganda about various armageddon scenarios, and staging wars to avert them, why even bother to have an army?
James Cook oh, I understand it, alright. I did my BSc in physics a long time ago. In fact, I hope you're young enough that you'll get to see and experience just how wrong you are, and will have to cope with it. I won't see it, probably, unless Guy McPherson turns out to be nearly right, and even so, I probably won't be around to catch the news as the angry mob (quite unfairly, I should say) strings the Koch bros up in the street.
***** no, son, you're the dupe. I've been around a long time. If we do nothing to change, GW/CC will kill many of us within the next few decades, and we ourselves will kill many more; it won't be pretty. It is already bad for many other kinds of creatures.
As for your other conspiracies, you can shove your worthless opinions where the sun doesn't shine.
Well, BS... appropriate initials!.... seems to be a full-service conspiracy nut. Thinks everybody is out to fool him. Not that it would be very difficult.
NO climate scientists were saying anything about being underwater or in an ice age or any of that nonsense. In the 1960s-70s, there was some research done that seemed to indicate that there was a POSSIBILITY that there would be a cooling phase ahead that COULD lead to a new glacial period in future.... like 12,000 years. ONLY some of the popular press..... Popular Science was a major offender..... printed that florid stuff about disaster.
If anything, the IPCC and most of the scientists are far too conservative. There is every reason to be alarmed and I don't care if you think I'm an "alarmist". If you aren't at least alarmed, then you aren't paying attention.
Great talk... Only a navy guy would use that analogy for PPM :)
Great speaker, non-alarmist, appreciated the delivery.
It is as "natural" as a beaver dam is "natural".
The real question is "Can good choices make a positive difference in the world our grandchildren will live in?"
We are in the middle of a giant solar spill today...We call it a beautiful Summer day!
Unfortunately for us if the Arctic melts shipping is a moot point because we will have upset so greatly the balance of the biological system in which we live and upon which we depend it we be an extinction level event. Climate change is much more than changing weather patterns and coastline.
Arctic just melted,
crops will be harder to grow. different weather patterns, and conditions are do to in sue.
+Jeremy Scott, and melting ice will upset the biological system balance how? During the far warmer Eemian interglacial (up to +5C warmer than today), the polar bears did just fine without any sea ice for hundreds of years. After all, they're still here. Life adapts far better to warmth than to cold.
We live in an Ice Age and government minions like this traitor Titley want to cool down the planet which could trigger the sudden end to the Holocene, turning those 2 little white things at the poles into *_HUGE_* polar caps. Civilization was unable to start for 90,000 years before the Holocene. The bone crushing cold will chew up civilization and spit it out like a gnat. So, your wimpy little problems from Global Warming will look like a picnic by comparison.
Just look at the population gradient from poles to equator. Life is screaming at you that it prefers warmth. Stop the governments from SAI cooling of the planet. They may have fully-stocked, nice warm bunkers to ride out the storm. They don't plan on letting just anyone inside. And the one in Arkansas is huge.
So, melt the damned ice. Save civilization and 7 billion people. For when the Holocene ends, growing food in the snow will be next to impossible.
Sorry I've worked with climate scientists. People who have dedicated their lives to understanding climate. In spite of what your television might tell you there is no disagreement in the scientific community. I'm afraid your argument doesn't hold any weight but you are convinced and free to have an opinion.
could u please send me your data on that
@AverageJoe8686 Yes, frozen to liquid loses size, but cooler to warmer increases volume. Thermal expansion will be a good deal of the sea rise, in addition to land based ice melting.
@Rovinpiper I am a libertarian and used to go with the GOP, but the gop has just gotten so much worse and now with the tea party (which is mostly social conservatives), I will vote libertarian if I get the option and D if I don't. But I agree, real conservatism does have good answers, but not social conservatism and not neocons and that is really all that is left in the GOP.
yes i've considered it. i have not the means to do so today, saddly.

Maybe you should do some videos aimed at conservative Christians.
"ice free by 2030s'. try 2019. Admiral Titley would be horrified
There's a good chance that he is.
Iceland. Singapore of 21st Century. WOW..
That's a new one...Peace from UFO
I thought he was smart until he predicted an ice free arctic in the 2030's but its 2017 and it almost went ice free this year. Next year no doubt. Sir...remake/edit your video and don't forget we'll have a 4-6 meter sea level rise long before 2025. Kiss Miami NYC SD SF LA London and HK gbye.
could you please send your data on that
Just goes to show that the Climate Change process is accelerating, and I would imagine that by 2030 there will be no sea ice in the Summer at all. As for a 4-6 meter rise by 2025... Nope I think you are wrong on that, More toward 2100... And as of now, it is certain and cannot be stopped.
I like how the right denies science. Like history has shown, denying science is an unholdable position.
On the surface this looks very convincing , however we know so much more about what we know of climate change and that is , it is very very complex system and this superficial talk given by Admiral Titley is simply not a reflection of the truth.
Can you be more specific? What do you think he got wrong?
they know not their word or they'd have no douvt, reading, revelation's 11:18
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and
* shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth*.
