On his first day as president, Joe Biden signed a letter of acceptance that set in motion the 30-day process for the United States to re-join the Paris Agreement on climate. On the day the US returns to the accord, John Kerry, the US Special Envoy for Climate, sits down with Nobel Laureate Al Gore to discuss the make-or-break decade ahead of us. Listen as Kerry lays out how the US fits into the global plan to get to net-zero emissions, explains why the COP26 UN climate conference could be humanity's "last best hope" to build international momentum and explores the role of business and youth activists in promoting environmental justice. (This interview features an introduction from Christiana Figueres, the principal architect of the Paris Agreement.)

Out of the countries listed in the Paris Agreement, only US and a few others have actually lower our CO2 output, this "agreement" is pointless and a waste of time and resources
Yep Trump was right again
Americans 😂
The last time there was this much carbon and methane in the atmosphere it was called the PETM and 90% of all sea creatures went extinct and something like 70% of land animals. Kerry and Gore fly everywhere neither of them are doing anything for the planet, they just continue to line their pockets and when we get to TEOFTWAWKI these very wealthy and other billionaires think that they will survive. Couple of dummies. They think their wealth will buy them all the security they will need to ride it out. History tells us that when an army can't be paid or fed, the kings and their entire families become lunch!! We should all keep a list of the places these prime cuts will try to hide out so that the rest of us can "Eat The Rich First" I wonder if anyone has reserved that URL. We could include instructions on how to butcher the meat, age it for a full 21 days and a list of recipe ideas. Curried Kerry, Pasta al a Pelosi, Schiff-Kabobs... you get my drift.
The US has made more progress in the past year than those involved in this rediculous agreement. The only benefit is to the others involved as in OUR money. This interview is between two politicians with poor records when it comes to anything other than them getting richer on our backs. Thete is NO advantage to OUR countrty.
@@tedreynolds4368 exactly it seems like the Democrats just want to give the damn country away I think this is more proof the election was stolen too many people could not afford to have Trump in office
OMG we are saved! Good thing we have rich oligarchs to save us.
Propaganda at its finest
Let me guess, Trumper? 🤥
Quick, the sky is falling. Empty your pockets to enrich the 1% to save us. Al Gore the lifelong climate inexpert leading the way.
@@Roncass4 you don't have to be a trump supporter to spot and know what propaganda looks like and is.
@@Roncass4 Reaganite. Run along now and be a good comrade.
These people and their friends have got us to this point with their insatiable greed and now they have the solution as well, more money for them.
Now everybody's going to take Al Gore super cereal
The Man Bear Pig is real. Spread the word. This time, it's cereal.
@@PresidentialWinner lmfao
Both could be president. People live longer so it might be more likely than unlikely. President Gore would be fantastic for the world 🌎
Bloody disaster more like.
What will happen is that the people involved with the climate talks will notice that they will become richer and happier. The climate will stay the same.
Calling Al Gore a "climate expert" just makes me lose all faith in our "experts" predictions about the future.
Didn’t he predict we would all be dead by now?
@@danielaramburo7648 He predicted that all the coastal cities would be under water by 2010... and then when 2010 arrived, he bought a villa at the beach.
@@PravinDahal and his giant mansion uses like 10 times the electricity consumption of the average house that same size. And it has a runway for his private jet. I assume his jet is fueled by magical zero carbon rainbows.
Thank you both for making the environment beyond a reasonable doubt critical to survival.
Is Al Gore also a Bonesmen?
CARBON TAX.....CARBON TAX..... CARBON TAX.....CARBON TAX.....NOW!!!!!!
by giving more money to the goverment, we will save the world right.
like it happend under obama,bush or clinton haha
A world wide minimum standard of living. The idea that the minimum wages are always a living local. This is the beginning of shelter for people who live here.
2 legends
A carbon fee and dividend is the quickest, most transparent, and equitable way to get started.
It’s a good step but by itself we’re still headed for a climate catastrophe
"How dare you" lol
What's next? More millionaires flying in private jets to restrict the rights of poor people
That’s the plan
I can see Al Gore's home from space.
'...Al Gore, a lifelong climate expert...'
Before applying this title to Mr. Gore, perhaps it would be wise to remember who claimed that Times Square would be underwater by 2015.
You don't have to be in the Paris Agreement to protect the environment.
It only serves as the bare minimum the governments will do to protect the environment, which is bad.
We need to do way more than what the Paris Agreement says, and the Paris Agreement serves as a hindrance.
Nice that Kerry and Gore flew in private jets to the accords though. Separately.
@Melody Larsen Well you laugh at rich old white men telling you to not use too much toilet paper while they fly around on private jets. I do not.
The Paris agreement is a good way to internationally say your nation supports trying to help against climate change, but yes we should also be doing more than the bare minimum because at this point I think some people forget this is literally life or death of this planet.
The oceans are rising much faster than they are mentioning in public.
Its fitting that Gore lives on the moon. He seems like he's from another planet.
The countries in this deal don’t obey any terms

John Kerry was right saying that US has to approach with humility and learn from other countries who have taken the load themselves with US absence the last 4 years on the Paris agreement and the fight against climate change.
Hi Doug. No argument with you. Explain to me why and where John Kerry owns homes, in Flordia, and his belief in global warming. And I admit, before I sign off here (and tonight), I'm not sure at this point, but he was on the coast of Florida. So I guess he has a schedule as to the inevitable flooding. And, yes, I believe in global warming, and freezing, and the moving of the planets in the solar system, and a great deal of factors even greater than us that will change our climate But evidently not many people do. We are oblivious to the fact that we have been on this planet for a minuscule matter of time. Should we try to take care of it? YES! But we don't own this planet, not at all. Sorry Doug, I don't disagree, but I'd like to hear a bigger picture. I won't get that from politicians. But you think Mr. Kerry has delivered that. Check out his various addresses.
These 2 couldn't beat Bush!
If only they stayed open longer in Ohio!
you can thank Florida and Ohio for thst
We don't need to make plastic sofa bottles and solar panels for electric power without fuel. We don't have to build toxic batteries to store energy. We can build natural solar panels and less toxic batteries. While we are building Edison generator and dynamos power plants to replace nuclear power plants and fossil fuels power plants.
Well all the same old swamp creatures are back.
Nice

A Good Quote, Prove yourself to yourself, not others.
What is that, an aphorism? Is that it? Pretty short for a quote.
Edison generators and dynamos easily replace fossil fuels and nuclear power plants especially in the poorest countries.
The comments burned my eyes ... Damn, calm down people. You are so toxic, so instead, courage them and show your support !
Thank you to talk about this. Sounds great and I really hope changes will happen (if not, everyone is fucked :) ) I support you from France !
When rich oligarchs want something it helps us poor folks. Right?

The day these mega-consumers abandon their massive carbon footprints, I may consider taking their hysterical claims seriously. If they meant a word of what they said, they would not behave as they do. They fail the first test of credibilty.
I like the comment about Tesla.
Kerry and Gore, what is your carbon footprint?
While their carbon footprints are likely large, you didn’t factor in the value of the work they are doing including; educating, shaping policy, gathering political support, lobbying for money to invest in green pathways the list goes on
@@jkrows98 -In other words because they're the elite, they're better than me. got it.
Edison generators and dynamos power plants and vehicles should be a loud part of your carbon emissions reduction and fossil fuels diversion. .
I love these two. Hopefully more of these are made.
You are listening to two career politicians with no science background.

We are not divesting in halogenated vinyl halogenated carbon and nuclear technology as we agreed to in Treaties instituted by scientists and ratified by Congress and USSR and 180 countries. This is the critical improvements in diplomacy and industry that Americans are missing.
The chemical weapon manufacture treaty and nuclear nonproliferation treaty should be mentioned as part of the Paris agreement. We will see green house effect when we shutdown halogenated vinyl halogenated carbon and nuclear technology and increase soot and smoke. Then green house effect is the drama that we will see.
You have to stop wood fire heaters and solving the cooking and heating problems of the entire planet that does not revolve around wood, coal or any fossil fuel. How many trees are burnt every year that could be helping with Climate Change?

Firewood is a renewable resource.
Most firewood is cut from standing dead wood And/or selective cutting.
It is irresponsible to be concerned about green house effect and greenhouse gases without mentioning the global warming and the primary causes of global warming and global infertility. The primary objective of elimination of halogenated vinyl halogenated carbon and nuclear technology.
This summit in April, will it be online or in person? The usage of all these people flying impacts the environment as well.
China starts building 33 GW of coal power in 2021, most since 2016
I remember when TED talks were about science and innovation. Now they are about people who have 3 or 4 giant homes each who fly around in private jets who drive around in caravans of SUVs while making millions of dollars selling ketchup, inventing the internet and what not, being called science experts. Thank you TED I have one less thing to watch. I just wonder if either of these two men own ocean front property, is that prudent when ocean levels are going to rise 4ft? What a couple of goons. Al Gore's home consumes 21 times more energy than the average, John Kerry owns an ocean front property on Martha's vineyard, Barrack Obama owns an ocean front estate on Martha's vineyard. They seem very worried to me. Just the inconvenient TRUTH. As someone who actually does care about the environment, I just feel we could pick better representation.
Sorry, to reiterate to you smarter people than I, what can you accomplish without unity? You rejoin an agreement, but not all of America understands or agree with it, so what can you do to help the understanding? Blame Trump if you will, but it's our political system, and your own lack of communication, which makes it's difficult. By the way, Al (yes, I do respect our Vice President, but why not have fun on the internet?) - you have a home (or more than one) in the flood zone of global warming in Florida. Or maybe you changed that last week? Most of us can't do that I want you to be right, but so far I'm not seeing all of the science. I wish everyone, all citizens the best - but prove it, and do it quick

Government should act as much as the private sector! Although, the people in the American government are lobbyists from the big companies.
I think the government's job is to make it more costly for companies to make non-green products. The globalized economy is still a market. A companies job is to maximize profits, if its too expensive to make non-green products or there are very significant government tax cuts to a green standard specifically, companies will adapt. This is not the first way Id go about this, but companies adapt faster then governments do. And unfortunately we dont have the time since we've been heel dragging for 15 years now.
A great example of how well this worked was when the EU set up a required energy and water rating for household appliances, companies that wanted to sell to the block still had to adapt and make better products. Now virtually all new appliances do meet those green standards. Well before every country adopted the same or very similar standards
The only area I think the government would itself need to improve is things that are very heavily federally regulated. Things like power companies, infrastructure projects. Obviously they should be investing in projects that meet these green standards. But that is only a small fraction
The environment is evidence of declining quality of life and the source of air that we breathe and the food that we eat . We don't have the knowledge to support ourselves independent of the planet and may never reach that complexity of understanding.
Why is Al tryin to look like Trump. They both using the same spray tan...lol
What a hypocrite to yell at others about carbon emission while he flies around in a private jet
The first point is, reduce the waste or recyle it. Build maschines for this target. Reduce Co2..
"JJJooohhhnnn KKKKeeerrrryyyy, reporting for duty" !!
We need to finish with the planning and start showing results!
Tesla bound Edison's generator with magnets all around the armature and used water to turn the armature and coils of copper wire. We have not recovered from this deciet and misconception of power generation yet. Tesla cars are not unlimited range electric vehicles without fuel or pollution. They could use Tesla's dynamo to power the electric motor in the cars and avoid the use of toxic batteries while achieving unlimited range electric power vehicles without fuel or pollution.
Excellent sharing from the two leaders. Thanks.
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
God bless America.
Washington Post
The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen, Norway.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
I apologize, I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922. As reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post - 99 years ago!
As interesting as this nearly century-old article might be from a modern perspective, however, it isn’t substantive evidence either for or against the concept of anthropogenic global warming. As documented elsewhere, the warming phenomena observed in 1922 proved to be indicative only of a local event in Spitzbergen, not a trend applicable to the Arctic as a whole
@@vaibhavgupta20 WTF ever just saying this has been the leftist BS for years I mean 100 years
The government benefits to homeowners adopting solar in Delaware under president Biden are a start.
But it's not words and long discussions we need here, it's actual implementation of the best existing technologies to generate electricity cleanly and use that electricity in the actual power grid at competitive prices what will decide whether my children and grandchildren's generations will be living underwater
Sad to hear such accomplished men so unfocused on the actual impact to real people. Talk is a step in the right direction, but action and real change is what we really need
Corporations need to save energy. Corporations need to get that energy from renewable and/or nuclear sources. The biggest emitters need to shift to renewables and decrease their emissions. There need to be real legal and/or economic consequences of not taking those actions. NOW. Not dilly-dallying, political grandstanding, or blaming others. Lead like men and start taking the right steps
People need to put solar panels on their houses. People need to have affordable transportation, heating, and basic utility options that emit less or zero greenhouse gases into the atmosphere
In the whole topic, nothing has been discussed related to topic.
After four years of absolute chaos and idiocy, the United States is back. If we’re not careful, it could happen again.
Hopefully it was a good lesson!
Quick, the sky is falling. Listen to the oligarchs, everyone needs to live poor and under their thumb so they can continue living with a silver spoon. Do as they say not as they do. Can't wait for you idiots to get your private property confiscated in the name of "climate change".
Lmao, you think Biden will save you from being an idiot? I don't think so.
in or out, these accords won't change anything. its a fluff peace, not really something that any of the major contributors are going to do and it won't help. Most of them increased their output so that in 2025 they can reduce it, still maintain what they had but claim they achieved the goal. the largest recipient of the greed fund is going to be China because they are considered the top developing country....CHINA!?!

There MUST be an equilibrium. 0% emissions could be misinterpreted ...
Remember, we are carbon based life forms .. 🌿🌹
Also, remember that green credits are awarded for recycling and green initiatives. 0% emissions means there is just as much effort to clean as there is polluting (within reason) and this is easier to achieve than some can imagine
Wonderful talk!! Thank you!!! It gives me hope.

Good for you. It takes at least 6 years to counter the carbon footprint of production. Drive it until the doors fall off 👍🤪... But then, take it to a hazardous waste dump and consider all the poison from the original manufacturing.🤔
The Paris Climate agreement has nothing to do with climate.

Will the climate change activists keep traveling in private jets?
Easy answer, nuclear.
It’s too expensive. If the newer wave reactors can be made to work then there should absolutely be investments.
🤘 Thorium, liquid-fuel, molten-salt reactors to be specific. Nuclear MUST be implemented as part of the solutions to the climate crisis
@@apexpredator1018 Thorium hasn't even been solved yet. They should fund it immediately. But we can't solve our problems with what is currently theoretical tech.

"The moon" is in a soundstage in Area 51.
Sorry, to say this, but does everyone realize that we are governed by an administration that will change every four years, regardless if the (recently past) admiration is competent, or not? I don't want to ask for change in that fact, but i ask our political parties to better balance themselves. Otherwise nothing can be accomplished from an Executive Branch if it can be cancelled and changed by the new Executive Branch upon election. Regardless of how anyone feels, I am embarrassed that we can make such sweeping laws only to see them cancelled because of a four year election cycle. I don't feel all that comfortable with this system. But if you do, then chime in. It's a free country, or so I hope it is. For me think the donkeys and elephants need to have some relaxed party time. Because I'm pretty much hating on them both.

You do realize there is no alternate resource other than fossil fuel or nuclear energy. Solar energy does not provide enough energy nor does wind energy provide enough energy. You have to have multiple solar panels in every city along with multiple wind turbines in every city. At least 10 or 15. What they are asking of you is to have a carbon tax . Basically your heating costs will go up, your gas prices going to go up, price of goods are going to go up because guess what we use gas to transport them, and countless jobs losses because all Democrats want to do is remove fossil fuel. What is needed is not to remove a resource that is provided from countless years what is needed is to find an alternative resource that is just as good as fossil fuels. You can look it up solar and wind energy is not enough. It provides extremely inadequate amounts and on top of it if you look at Texas where the wind turbines froze and we're inoperable that is our life if we allow this. This is wrong and the Democratic party does not care about you or I and how we can live our lives
@@wunderwiz3631 I believe that it's important to shift from a partisan mindset about this issue to a realization that everyone will have to deal with climate change. Republicans and Democrats alike have children and grandchildren who will be coping with the consequences of climate change. Maybe we should think of climate change as a public health issue, rather than bound to the narrow perspectives of political parties. As to alternative energy sources not providing enough: the point is we need to pursue many different solutions, ranging from solar/wind, perhaps exotics like hydrogen and fusion down the road, nuclear (if cleaned up and not prone to Fukushima-type meltdowns), to carbon extraction technologies, and yes, we'll need to rely on fossil fuels during the transition period. We all need to be flexible and creative to move ahead to the next phase of energy production.
@@adamt1564 yes we need to deal with climate change but we need to be responsible and have a good alternative otherwise many people will suffer and die if we rely on inadequate energy means which solar and wind energy is indeed inadequate
