- The fossil fuel industry is a factory of fairy tales, says activist and School Strike for Climate organizer Luisa Neubauer. Tracing the industry's five-decade trickle of lies about climate science, she busts the myth that economic growth and stability are dependent on fossil fuels -- and issues a resounding message about how we can actually move towards a just climate world. "[The future] won't be built for those who have brought us into this mess," she says. "It will be built for everyone else."

The greed of the few pushes us in the water, the masses believing their lies are the stone dragging us to the bottom
You can't solve complex socio-econommic problems based on simplistic analysis.
Excellent analogy.
We are already in the big crash , inflation is a catastrophe. This CPI report is a colossal failure. To bring the housing market to a halt,the FED will have to pull all the stops . The unfortunate issues is that the other market are being decimated. If you want to stay green ,you have to rely on a lot of diversification.
Currently up 15% and being carful. Still a better deal than leaving it in a savings or checking account yielding 0-1 percent interest.
You’re right I diversified my $350k portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above 1.2m in net profits across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds during this red season.
How can I reach out to this coach? Because I’m seeking for a more effective investment approach how good is this person at portfolio diversification, particularly with regards to digital assets?
Jessica Chiara Russell is actually the one that guides me
Look up her name on Google and reach out through her page.she understands the job perfectly
Most of her life is a secret because she is coming out of a multi billionaires family(Reemtsma)!
Last weeks she was on a event with her grandmother, Dagmar Reemtsma!
4 years ago she lied about this, its only around 4 corners and she had no contact with this family.
2023 she goes to events with her grandmum and talk about the love for her.
Info: Reemtsma is the Number 1 manufacture of cigarettes in germany!
This family/company grow up huge because of the deep contacts/connection to highest NS Groups in worldwar2!
In 2023 one of the largest manufacture family of cigarettes will tell us we have to be careful with climate/Co2???
Also for info from this event: Dagmar Reemtsma next to Luisa was telling that she is frustrated
that nobody whats to give up the drug called prosperity! Drug? called prosperity?
Cigarettes manufacture making billions of billions with drugs but telling us now we have to
give away the drug called prosperity???
Closing all of their manufactures, giving away all the billions they made and put into climate projects must be the first step, or not???
Oil companies knew about the impact of their business on climate change since 1970. 1970 !

Spock did a documentary on an upcoming ICE AGE but here we are looking at warming...
Dan Pena makes some good points about the subject too, makes one think a little bit.
The Human can not live without the environment. 🙏
And what about fossil fuels? What about fertilizers and diesel fuel in agriculture? We need them and they are awesome.
@@lorenzmuller3542 Hundreds of farmers are showing you wrong right now. Farming without diesel, without artificial - soil-poisoning - fertilizers, without pesticides, and in the end even an increase in profits. We are now putting more energy into the ground with our huge machines than we ultimately harvest from it. It used to be different and things are about to change again - either by voluntarily evolving or by fate forcing us back into the Stone Age. It's our choice.
@@Naanhanyrazzu It cannot be enough farmers to feed the world. We need oil and gas.
@@lorenzmuller3542 No, we don't need it. On the contrary, oil and gas are destroying farmland. Also, it's not the amount of farmers that's the problem, it's our wasteful use of it. If we didn't throw away more than half of the food that can still be eaten, we could easily feed the entire world.
@@Naanhanyrazzu - Stone Age? Nah... we won't even get to that point, we kill this planet way before it.
Just check what is going on with dying of plankton around the planet (it produces almost 50% of oxygen - but nobody is giving a crap about it). The same with microplastic which is already present in whole ecosystem, including the... rains. And that is just a tip of larger issues.
"There is the problem with the assumption that technology equals salvation. This is becoming a modern religion in many cultures in the world. Developed nations increasingly believe that technology really is their salvation now. There is a problem? Well, technology will solve it. There is something we cannot understand? Well, technology will overcome it. There is a situation that could arise for which we are unprepared? Well, technology will meet the challenge.
“We will meet the challenge with our technology in the eleventh hour.” There is a sort of unquestioned belief that technology is going to save you, regardless of what might happen-technology mixed with human ingenuity, that is. And no matter how overwhelming a situation might be, well, ingenuity plus technology will win the day in the final moments.
Can you see that this is all part of the denial? Wishful thinking is what it is."
An excerpt from a book by Marshall Vian Summers. I highly recommend checking out his two books on this subject - *_The New World_* and *_The Great Waves of Change_* - which are free online along all his other work.
So many people believe that technology brings salvation. I was troubled when I saw that the glaciers were melting because of climate change. When I brought it to table for discussion I had so many people say that 'nature can take care of herself and there's nothing to worry about'
If nature is going to care for herself then we need to help her do it , but where do we start from? What do we do? How do we build a community of people that really care about the earth and not just lying to themselves?
These are just my thoughts
@@Noranene_ These are good questions. Marshall Vian Summers teaches that living with the big questions of life is how the answers present themselves over time. Perhaps check out some of his books for inspiration and fresh perspective. They are all free online.
And what is your solution? Because you are only complaining, technology took us to the coming 4th generation of nuclear plans, the fusion energy is coming thanks to new technologies, catalytic convertors in cars reduce the pollution of O2 in 95%!
Thank you!
it will bring salvation but not at the scale necessary, you can imagine even in the worst case scenario like nuclear Armageddon there will be a few people surviving in bunkers, like most things in this world that dream is only for the rich.
80% of ff profits taxed for green transition. As emissions decline tax lowered based on ff investments in mitigation and adaptation where most damages inflicted by ff industry. Would also encourage ff industry to add other energy sources to their portfolios. Geothermal and wind in particular would benefit from ff skills. Nuclear also would benefit from immense skillet set of ff industry. Lower the number of entities controlling energy for better quality and consistency.
In Norway the oil industry pay 78% tax, and have done this for decades. I only wish we would have used a lot more of this money to debelop the «green shift». But free education, free medical, one year paid maternity leave, to name a few benefits, is of course nice.
Tony Seba. Love his vision for the near future.
Solar takes up a lot of space, is expensive compared to ff energy generation, and can easily be damaged by wind/hail or shut down by the shadow of a cloud. Wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, and tidal energies are all location dependent; in some countries/places they aren't practical or even possible. If you think that greenhouse gasses are environmentally bad, nuclear energy produces wastes that will be dangerous for tens of thousands of years, so nobody wants it near them even if they are in relatively small quantities as everybody agrees they are dangerous to life, but nobody can predict all the how's.
Every country in the world can easily burn ff and they have for a century before feeling long term effects of the pollution which at this point are in the form of temporary and extreme weather patters and increased extinction of species. If there is a better way, I'd like to know it. Otherwise, could you buy me an electric car so I can junk my gasoline car?
I listened keenly wanting to know the alternative to fossil fuels, is it still the solar and the wind approach? If that's the big-picture alternative then I am afraid that the fossil fuel industry will not give up its lucrative job of drilling oil, mining coal, and emitting carbon into the atmosphere. A solar farm that can cover the whole of the Sahara desert and across Africa cannot move a ship with a load of 25,000MT of goods. To fight a giant you will need more than ammunition and a protest, you will need to present to them a better alternative that will keep them in business to make profits but a healthy alternative that will convince them to switch sides. we need to stop fighting big cooperations with clever speeches and well-written essays. we need to fight them with well-proven scientific alternatives and a win-win approach that will make that body of organization realize that what they are doing is more harmful to all of us on our planet. As long as money drives greed and fattens peoples pocket, this should be a very well curated effort to wean the world for fossil fuels
100% Emotion, 1% actual content. This speech does not help much, it does not explain anything, it has no story expect "don´t trust the industry". Luisa does not provide a solution or a path forward, just an outcry. Needed, of course. However from TED I expect a higher standard, opinions are not enough and fairytale ideas failed mankind so far EVERY time.
At this point, Mr. Putin has done more for climate change than any activist on the planet. He has moved Europe forward the same way Fukushima has changed the world.
I am very happy that Luisa is working on solutions. However, humans don´t change behaviour because somebody is telling a nice story.
Long Story without content
Governments will never get better or fix things. They will only make things harder. We the people have to take responsibility for ourselves. No one will save us but us.
How is a big question. They have all the weapons against us, first off all they use elections to get the right to beat us.
Highly unspecific (less facts, more desires), but a well transmitted and delivered messages.
Honestly, we've all heard the message a zillion times before. We know the specifics. This was just another reminder that we can't hold off on it..
Well spoken!
I hope TED uses more of it's platform to address the climate apocalypse
Our mates in NZ, just had the biggest natural loss of hope. A cyclone in NY, Victoria, Florida, forget Texan pan handle there’s the rub the rich can get out.
Yes, and no. While people think some places won't be affected by this, the world is a closed system.
No matter where you go change is coming.
This is why we need to dump fossil fuels, because there is nowhere "safe".

Very important topic, thank you for using your voice Luisa. People over profit.
people over profit is a nice concept. but its not her concept. in circles of german activists, she is not very popular, because of her focus on self-promotion.
@@wurstfinger3289 She doesn't claim that it's her concept, it would be hard to fight for a sustainable world if everyone could only talk about concepts they come up with themselves, wouldn't it?
She is raising a lot of awareness and I applaud her for doing that and am deeply thankful, as a fellow german activist, as there can never be enough people to fight for a sustainable development :)
@@Maria27033 she is raising awareness for herself as a person.
People over profit? What will happen to 'people' if you remove cheap, reliable, abundant energy?
So many want to be activists. What we need are more scientists and engineers working on this. Especially on energy storage.
I haven't seen anybody take on the the fossil fuel people so clearly and directly. Brave woman. You have a new follower.

It’s good that you point out these toppics 💚
What is her solution to not use fossil fuels? Did she stand up to complain and talk about conspiracy? Why Germany turn off the nuclear plants? Ooo I know, some activist pushed the government to do it without real science comparing fossil to nuclear! Stop crying about it and study and do research in new energies. These kids are so unrealistic, go to Africa an experience a poor life and then find a solution for African countries not cooking with wood and coal! Oooo I found it! Helping them to have gas! And maybe after they eat better their kids can do better in schools and in one moment on time they will use electricity if they can afford it!
Well spoken! But this problem is not a "fossile fuel industry" problem alone but basically a general problem of any industry with a priority on economic growth where collateral damage is accepted .... which are almost each and any by design. That does not mean to stop pointing at them.
Internationally I guess the USA 🇺🇸 underestimates the amount of coal moved on the river. Our rail system is the equivalent of a dirt road
Danke!
How will you create renewable energy resources without fossil energy?
Thanks for this inspiring speech! We need more 9 min rants against fossil fuel companies
Very nice speech: neatly structured, perfect English. And of course you are right with what you are saying.
Perfect English..
Your comment touches upon the core of the problem.
Most humans don’t want to hear inconveniences and also never want to change their behavior and are very selfish.
This is an example of how greed can create catastrophes. Capitalism is based entirely on greed.
...and idiocracy which they call democracy
The climate doesn’t wait for us 💚
But it doesn't care for us either. World will survive one way or the other, only rhing threatened one way or the other, is our way of life.
@@thespalek1 We developed great technologies to make life easier, but we failed to develop a Zeitgeist to guide us about life with each other and life on a living planet.
Great speach Luisa! Keep up your much needed work!
"In any system of energy, Control is what consumes energy the most.
No energy store holds enough energy to extract an amount of energy equal to the total energy it stores.
No system of energy can deliver sum useful energy in excess of the total energy put into constructing it.
This universal truth applies to all systems.
Energy, like time, flows from past to future".
Important talk!! thank you Luisa
Meanwhile in Greece one of the largest open pit coal mining operations is going on under the sanction of their leaders.
Yes, and how can we stop them? Make your own energy for yourself and don‘t depend on others.
We need to think about how we can transition to renewable energy
Transition is the key word.
How can we? I’ve yet to hear a good answer in these talks.
@@Libertarian_Neighbor You build a Windmill.

Perfect, many thanks. I've worked for the renewables since 30 years now and I have a desire for revenge against this manipulation but I hope I will never act on it.
30 years and yet renewables (which are really "unreliables") represent only 3% of global electricity use. And even this achievement was the result of subsidies, mandates and the demonization of fossil fuels.
@@anthonymorris5084 Just not true: Based on REN21's 2020 report, renewables contributed 19.2% to humans' global energy consumption and 23.7% to their generation of electricity in 2014 and 2015, respectively.
Just wait until that inevitable terminal diagnosis, then take action. One last gift to the future. Their side already does this, just not effectively... because their target is basically all of humanity. Our targets have names, googleable net worth, company titles, addresses and blueprints. We don't know what it'll take to shake them out from under the spell of profit, nor prophet... they're more tenacious than Japan in WWII, so it'll need to be a big wakeup call. It might not even be possible. They've weaponized apocalyptic religions around the globe to stand encircling them as human shields, in an axis of extinction. Evolution is still in play here, just much higher up on the house of cards.
@@AndreasDelleske You are being fallacious and including hydro. There is very little room for hydro growth and what could be capitalized upon is vociferously blocked by environmental zealotry. There are numerous places where hydro isn't even an option. Wind and solar globally represent about 3% and will never replace fossil fuels. Even where they exist today, they have to be backed by another source which is almost exclusively coal, nat gas and oil.
@@anthonymorris5084 What would you actually want to do if you were in charge of the decisions here?
Vielen Dank Luisa!
She should be so honest to say that her policies will lead to poor countries staying poor. Are countries like India, Ethiopia or the Congo supposed to leapfrog the fossile fuel age and go straight to renewables, which the rich countries say are too expensive and inconvenient even for them? Poor countries can not adopt renewables right away. Period. Be honest, Luisa!
And number 3 - u might also want to suggest that we stop subsidizing fossil fuel companies. ⛽
If you want change BE that change.
They derive their power and wealth from us.
Want them to change?
Stop buying their products.
You don't have to stop all at once, but every product they make that you used to buy, makes a difference.
If just 1 billion out of 8 billion were to act on what I've just said, their world would shake to its foundations.
The more of us who give up something of our fossil fuels addiction, the better for everyone.
So what will you give up?
My choices so far, are an EV, and some non plastic items.
It's not comprehensive, but it's a start.
How about you?

I never grew up in a place where I was told everything would get better and better. I grew up in a country where you had to and still have to fight for justice - on all fronts - personal and political. And those who say they will do better than the previous regime/generation/etc. , seldom if ever keep their promises - be it government or whomever. Reality is a teacher who most folk never ever or rather reluctantly listen to and learn from. Idealism, on the other hand, is a great teacher - of Lies.
Well said.
Life in most countries gets better year after year.
She said the right thing,but we should all implement together and if peoples will be ready ;then the bullshit bad peoples running this buisness will use their power to stop the implementation .
But , I believe that it can be handled if done now and from tomorrow , I am gonna try to do so .
May you all will also.

How is the big question. They have all the weapons against us, first of all they use the elections to get the right to beat us by their idiocracy.
I find it baffling, honestly, that people are still supporting fossil fuels. I mean, we know for a fact that they're running out - fast.
And if there are no more resources to make fossil fuels what's our answer? And why are we deliberately wanting "freedom" while being dependent on other companies as well as countries with autocrats?
There's so much contradiction within the fossil fuel industry it's mins boggling.
I find most of the fossil fuel fanboy right wing nutbars also have solar panels on their cabins to be "off grid" libertarians.

You understand what i mean?
In reasoning theory, that style of argumentation you use is called "argumentum ad hominem". It´s not valid.
@@goodguygollum6791 Specific it is a "TU-QUOQUE"-Argument and in its validity disputable as a fallacy in reasoning theory but strong non-deductive.
In kind of your second paragraph you're right, but she always trapped - in Germany like US - into the moralistic fallacy.
She only lives and arguments in prohibition answers and the irrational green-neomarxistic policy that is rejected in a free democratic society. Working with democratic structures brings better outcomes for all, so even activists should work together with democratic structures. So all should work in democratic structures against climate change.
Beautifully and sincerely spoken Luisa! 👍🏻💪🏻
I don't believe this is the whole story, she is seeing a few sides of this problem. If the renewable energies resources were cheap or at least reliable to apply I think every country would use them.
Obvious but very good point. Also think of how our world is built on oil. We need it to produce fertilizer to feed the world! We need it to move heavy machinery etc. She is... I am sorry to say just a dumb girl.
"If the renewable energies resources were cheap": indeed the issue AS USUAL is this one: what is cheap has strong drawbacks (fossil fuels), and the more virtuous alternative (renewable energy) is more expensive.
So what to do? Make the cheap one less attractive. The option: tax it and with the money you fund the nicer (but more expensive) alternative (at least until the alternative has reached a minimum level of development so its costs have reduced).
The spin on the climate crisis that made me maddest was a comedy dialogue by Bill Maher. He faced the camera and said "I'm Bill. I fly privately". His whole point seemed to be to undermine the efforts of climate activists like you and Greta and to basically throw up his hands. "What can we really do?" He said maybe I could give up my standup comedy which makes my private plane necessary. Yes Bill DO THAT!
What makes me laugh is 40,000 people flying to a COP meeting to tell everyone else not to fly. It’s comedy gold.
Ole Bill is a Priveleged Establishment Person.
@@palmharbor6317 the thing is I like a lot of his social commentary. There seems to be a real pushback against Greta and taking personal responsibility for climate change
@@deejay7648 Change starts somewhere. How do you expect them to fly with 0 emissions when there are almost No electric plane reliable enough?
The transition will get to the plane industry eventually. We barely even started with cars and here you are criticizing those who need to use planes. The only air travel users that are wasteful are those who arent willing to drive even 2h away or take a train. But billionaires know they wouldn’t like being in traffic or a train like Us the working class.
@@Power_to_the_people567 somehow you missed the point entirely. It wasn’t about flying with zero emissions, it was the fact that all the “greenies” flying to Davos did so on private jets when they could have easily done some commercially. On an individual basis flying a private jet has an exponentially bigger carbon footprint vs mass transportation, and these are the people telling us regular folks we consume too much. The old proverb “practice what you preach” definitely comes to mind.
Absolut grandios!
Ich bin schwer beeindruckt!
Oil-price shock and the more recent extortion by another random stronkman caused huge inflationary spikes. We won´t have this with renewables- like ever.
Pretty ideas but no solutions to support them. Quite useless unfortunately.
Man kann ja schon viel über die Großindustrie meckern. Ich könnte auch darüber schimpfen, ob Frau Neubauer nun geflogen oder gepaddelt ist, ist auch alles egal. Was wirklich schiefläuft ist, dass ich PERSÖNLICH nicht entscheiden kann, ökologischer zu leben, weil das mit den Solarpanelen zu teuer und zu kompliziert ist. Achso, geht ja überhaupt gar nicht, weil ich zur Miete wohne. Und mein Vermieter hat keinen Anreiz da was aufs Dach zu bauen. Gäb auch garkeine Handwerker.
Warum hat nicht jeder Deutsche das Recht KEIN Auto benutzen zu MÜSSEN um zur Arbeit zu kommen?
Warum sind Hartz4-Emfänger und andere sozial Schwache gezwungen in baufälligen Gebäuden zu wohnen die die Wärme zum Fenster rauszheizen?
Ehrlich gesagt ist mir das ziemlich egal, ob die Grünen da in der Weltgeschichte rumjetten oder ob mein Nachbar seinen Pool auch im Winter heizt. Was mir nicht egal ist, dass ich selbst an logischen und vernünftigen Handlungen zum Thema Klimafreundlichkeit staatlich gehindert werde. An jeder Ecke.
Guter und berechtigter Kommentar.
So schwer ist das mit dem Solar übrigens nicht, preisintensiv jedoch schon. :D
Natürlich kann jeder entscheiden, nachhaltiger zu leben (weniger heizen, Fleisch essen, Auto fahren etc.), aber darum geht es eben nicht. Einzelpersonen können das Problem nicht lösen. Wir brauchen politische Lösungen, die starke Anreize sowohl Konsument:innen als auch Unternehmen schaffen, nachhaltiger zu wirtschaften. Moral alleine wird uns nicht retten
Der einzig effektive Weg als Einzelperson etwas zu verändern, ist politisch aktiv zu werden, sich bilden ins Gespräch mit anderen Menschen zu kommen, ein Bewusstsein für die Katastrophe in der Gesellschaft zu schaffen und das Thema wieder auf die alltägliche Agenda zu holen.
Also go for it! Let us change something.
Macht euch doch nichts vor, natürlich könnt ihr euch z.B. als Mieter ein Balkonkraftwerk anschaffen. Die Verantwortung auf andere schieben ist billig, jeder kann etwas tun. Den Staat vorschieben ist bequem, bringt aber nichts. Jeder kann auf seiner Ebene Verantwortung übernehmen…That’s the way
@@dunundancer Da gabs mal so einen Spruch "Wir sind das Volk". WIR sind der Staat. Wenn die von mir gewählten (!) Politiker nicht das halten, was sie versprechen, kann man schon zu Recht ungehalten werden. Das Argument des freien Marktes und des mündigen Verbrauchers ist im übrigen genauso vorgeschoben. Da wären wir dann bei diesen bescheuerten Aussagen wie, "man kann auch mal einen Waschlappen benutzen". Aber hier gehts nicht um einmal weniger Duschen pro Woche, oder dass ich fein meinen Jutebeutel mit zum Bioladen nehme, es geht um Klimagerechtigkeit. Das kann ich nicht als einzelner Bürger verändern.
Nice talk!
We almost got to see what the impact would be if Germany ran out of fossil fuel. Those solar panels would not have done the job. Someone in Germany should buy a map
Its a weird thing to say that its "fossil fuel made"... its only kinda true.
Currently, if ALL GHG emissions were set to zero, EXCEPT the cement industry and the metallirgical industry, it would still be too high.
And that is by taking into account that the energy for these processes would be green.
The very chemical reactions that separate the metal from the ore, and that react to create cement, these alone are enough to exceed the paris agreement. So, yes, fossil fuel is the biggest source of emission, but stopping all of those STILL would not be enough.
Its a disturbing and bleak wake up call, and it should absolutely be part of her discourse in my opinion.
Thank you Luisa!
Clean energies will set us free into peace.
Although I love you're message, I cannot agree. Fossil fuels need to be phased out eventually, but stopping them now would lead to hunger, loss of wealth and increasing death rates. Why? Farming remains very carbohydrates intensive, both for fertilizers and for all current farming equipment. Secondly, the correlation between energy consumption and wealth (expressed as GDP) is very high. Germany is one of the richest countries worldwide due to the high energy use you described. Finally, imagine a cold winter without gas, elderly would die at a very high rate.
The oil and gas companies will be needed for the following years to provide the energy required to make a green transition. We're addicted to fossil fuels but stopping suddenly would lead to immense withdrawal symptoms. In the end we need to find the energy sources to replace fossil fuels before completely stopping to exploit them. This means building wind mills and solar arrays at a much higher rate. Start building nuclear powerplants to provide carbon emission free energy (with the known side effect of controllable waste) for baseload use. And, electrifying the complete economy (including farming equipment) much faster.
Stopping fossil fuels before finding new energy sources is an alternative that people outside the climate movement would not agree with.
This comments section was proudly sponsored by the fossil fuel industry!
Indeed. People make up the most crazy conspiracy theories to explain why scientists say we need to stop using fossil fuels, instead of just realizing the most simple conspiracy of all: The fossil fuel industry likes money and does not want us to stop giving them money.
Yes indeed. Some people still don't get it or get paid to spread FUD to slow down the transition...
The myth that we need growth is the single most pathetic aspect of the whole thing. The tax system is designed to encourage growth by providing incentives to those who borrow and pay interest. Reverse the system and pay the incentive to those who save and invest their savings in things which increase the wealth those who are already here. For get the idea that we must grow and pay debt with tomorrow growth and profit.

I beg you to reconsider your position. Our modern global system of energy, food, communication, and healthcare depends on the fossil fuel industry. Absolutely lets work together to find environmentally friendly solutions, but in the meantime we can't even send an email to each other to have a discussion and find a solution to the problem without fossil fuels. Solar panels are being designed and brought to market on computers that run on coal.
Wow. Well done.
Instead of giving us lectures about fossil fuel lies, find us a reliable cheap and non polluting energy alternative (probably you are not able to do that). Let's see what will happen in the near future with the solar cells and batteries/electronics waste, not to mention the pollution that is incurred with their manufacturing, transportation and installations.
Right we all can make speeches about how there’s a problem. But, if you don’t have a solution why are these people on TED talk and they all sound the same 😳
Thanks Luisa for your impressive speech, much appreciated 💚💚💚💚
No mention of climate SCIENCE what so ever?? Actual science, not clickbait media driven hyperbolic headlines and numbers you don't know where they came from.
I'm trying to be open-minded, but she doesn't offer many specifics. She claims that renewable energy has failed in Germany on account of influence by the fuel industry, but I'm not sure that renewable energy has every been effective in Germany. Am I wrong? Maybe the scope of her talk was too narrow to address real solutions, but I didn't hear many.

@@dubtube6691 war auch mehr spass, du hast ja absolut recht. Jedes unternehmen und (fast) jede person ist teil des problems, aber auch teil der lösung.
Using fossil fuels will replaced by alternative energy one day but not the profit making culture of the economic systems. People of the effected areas due to climate change is a new outlook of this century. Do not forget the same areas are suffering also as an impact of colonial and new colonial rule and system accordingly.
Thanks for giving more evidence that the climate movement was never an environmental movement. It's an ideological movement.
Thank you Louisa 💚
What no one of the green can answer is one question: Where do you get enough lithium and other rare metals to build all the batteries needed?
And the truth is that it would take 200 years of lithium mining at the current rate to electrify all cars and you would not even have build a single
house battery to store solar power.
She didn't talk about hydrocarbon based fertilizers feeding the world, oil moving heavy machinery, daily progress and innovation, carbon capture, huge metal demand in wind and solar...
It would be great to power a vehicle without fossil fuels but, How are you going to power a vehicle without fossil fuels, electric cars use large amounts of mined precious metals such as cobalt and nickel, these are effectively fossil fuels and not renewable. The problem is that every type of energy production has some kind of impact on the environment, but we need to try and reduce the impact as much as possible, it’s just not simple and easy
Luisa you are adorable. I hope that you are one of the billion people or so that will sew the seeds of the future. It is most important that we focus on the fact that the oil corporations are working with other corporations to ensure a "whole world third world". We still bow to the owners of the exploitation machine and allow feudal governance at a global scale.
The Fairytale is people like this believing that our society can run without fossil fuels. Wind/solar "renewables" only produce electricity, they don't produce any products. There are thousands of products that are produced from the derivatives of crude oil/petroleum. From electronics to medical devices, telecommunications equipment, airplane and aerospace, asphalt and many many more things that give us the modern society we have today. And yes, most of the components from windmills and solar panels are... you guessed it... made from petroleum based products. Are you ready to give up your cell phone? I don't think this woman is! We will always need these things, so a combination of energy forms are what is necessary. Zero emissions is the Fairytale people. I want to fix many things in our environment too... but narrow vision and well wished speeches are not what will get us there. Knowledge and innovation is the key to our future.
@@chadmelton7198 Yep. Absolutism is a fool's errand. Burning coal for energy is an absurdity, but it is still critical for the manufacture of steel. Our society, 8 bn peasants, supporting a few in a gilded aristocrats, is unsustainable.
Really! Fossil fuel industry working to make the whole world 'third world'? Are you serious? Considering fossil fuels powered the industrial revolution, and pulled millions of people out of abject poverty. Every nation able to exploit the cheap, abundant, reliable energy that fossil fuel provides, is now a first world nation. Denying the third world, or developing nations access to this energy source is basically genocide at the hands of the 'adorable' Green movement.
Greta‘s older sister! Nice speech! Very touching at some point. But definitely She doesn’t propose anything more than a nice speech. I hope people with innovative ideas can get more attention and publicity than these activists who appear crying in the press and social media.
Make the oil and gas companies legally liable for climate change damage and watch how things change!
A previous comment from me has been removed as it was not 100% pro Luisa.That's a very bad sign and reminds me of censorship.If this is the way Luisa will go, fine by me.Feel free to remove this comment as well.Won't bother you again.
Luisa is very hated in Germany,they try everything to "Save" her Reputation.
The speech remains far below the demands that should be placed on a TED Talk. Over long stretches, only unsubstantiated assertions and attributions of guilt are delivered.
major cope, but ok.
She didn't talk about hydrocarbon based fertilizers feeding the world, oil moving heavy machinery, progress, carbon capture, huge metal demand in wind and solar...
replacing on fairytale by another
Hating on fossil fuels and their worldwide expasion is like hating on people all over the world for wanting a better life. Allwyas seems to me that none of these climate activists has the slightest idea how bad life was before such easy access to cheap and eliable energy was discovered.
While I agree the fossil fuel industry needs to be stopped as soon as possible I don't think it's the worst contributor to climate change or the biggest cause of injustices. The worst contributor is the animal farming industry. If we stopped eating animals we could re-wild about 30% of ALL the earth surface currently being used for farming (28% of those 30% are pastures that produce almost no food). Not to mention that besides locking down huge amounts of carbon it would also be the ethical thing to do. There are many more reasons for why we should abolish animal farming which everyone can easily look up themselves.
Just to sum it up: We should absolutely give everything we got to stop using fossil fuels, but there is an industry which is much easier to abolish and is just as important, I would argue more important, that can be stopped without radically changing our lives like the fossil industry would. I mean what is easier? To stop eating meat or to radically change all the worlds energy sources, the worlds transportation and all the infrastructure that comes with that?
very good
Well said, but still being naive on the potential of renewables being a viable alternative.
We need to think about how to keep the carbon in the ground and put it out of the atmosphere
The world is truly complex! Difficult to understand.
Easier after some wine 🍷
Das typische Klimaschwurbler blabla.
With you 100%. Their lies don't work anymore. We have to walk away and move forward. 'Lets get to work.!' 💚
What’s the plan.
What are you doing? Probably nothing like everyone else.
What are the viable alternatives? I keep hearing “we need to act” and “we are out of time” but what is the alternative?
@@Libertarian_Neighbor Nuclear power plants or a breakthrough in nuclear fusion. Other than that absolutely nothing.
Our first plan is to ignore BS arguments like these and just move forward with adopting the many proven alternatives already developed. Convincing the willfully ignorant is just an energy sink.
Just raise the price for any fossil fuel
Truth hurts
angst gepaart mit dummheit auch!
🙏🏻🌹✨🇺🇦💙💛✨🙏🏻
Thank you for speaking up 💚
Absolutely fantastic! In the middle of this diatribe there’s an advertisement for Amazon Prime’s series The Rig.
And saying that fossil fuel enable aggressors around the world to go to war is just not a valid argument. Its like hating on any product or service where the earned money is spend on commiting crime. Its not neither the money, nor the product, its just about the person.
No glaciers, no water, no money on a dead planet
The world is going to have to replace pollution fuels with clean no pollution fuels hydrogen made directly at intake of engines using hydrogen to air water converters this will save the internal combustion Diesel engines which we love its a win win win for everyone in the world love you family
