Top 5 Climate Change Videos to Watch This Summer
The most impactful videos that will make you think this summer
Check out these 5 videos that will get you thinking.
They're perfect for sparking some important conversations and gaining a new perspective on what really matters.
Letâs dive in.
1. âYour kids might live on Mars. Hereâs how theyâll surviveâ â Stephen PatranekÂ
âHumans will survive no matter what happens on Earth. We will not be the last of our kind...â
2. âWhatâs hidden under the Greenland ice sheet?â - Kristin Poinar
âHidden under the ice sheet is a vast aquifer that holds a Lake Tahoe-sized volume of water from the summer meltâ
3. âWhy renewables canât save the planetâ â Michael Shellenberger
âEnvironmentalists have long promoted renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind farms to save the climate. But what about when those technologies destroy the environment?â
4. âClimate change will displace millions. Here's how we prepareâ â Colette Pichon Battle
âClimate change is the most horrible symptom of an economic system that has been built for a few to extract every precious value out of this planet and its people. To survive this next phase of our human existence, we will need to restructure our social and economic systems to develop our collective resilience.â
5. âThe power of visioningâ â Donella Meadows
âIf we donât know where we want to go, it makes little difference that we make great progress. Yet vision is not only missing almost entirely from policy discussions; it is missing from our whole culture.â
Conclusion
Fixing the climate crisis will keep us busy for the rest of our days. However, the most important question is: what is the end goal? Where do we want to go from here?
Two years ago, I participated in a climate fiction contest where I had to produce an essay about my ideal world in 2050. This exercise truly transformed my views of the world.
I would like to propose an assignment for all of you. Use this summer to envision what YOUR world in 2040 would look like if climate change problems were solved.
We rarely take the time to dream about where all of this is taking us.
I think itâs crucial to discuss our visions of the world with each other, including parents, friends, teachers, and politicians.
