Today we'll be talking about climate change and what we need to do to help solve it.
00:06
So the argument of climate change is a polarizing one and a subjective one.
00:12
Some people don't think we need to do much to solve it, and others think we need to do a lot.
00:16
And the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community is we need to do a lot.
00:21
So if it were up to me, and i was part of the u .s.
00:25
Government producing a policy for how to go forward and tackle the climate crisis, i would focus on three main branches.
00:32
First being infrastructure.
00:36
This would be a heavy investment in overhauling pretty much the way we do almost everything, from producing our power to producing our food, to how we get around cities and rural areas.
00:48
This would be, think, electric cars, electric buses and transport, like train systems and light rail, as well as solar power and wind farms and maybe even geothermal plants or lab -grown meat and hydroponic planting.
01:09
These are all ways that we can essentially lower our carbon footprint to net zero.
01:15
And after we've invested heavily in this infrastructure, i think we also need to invest heavily in research.
01:22
By investing heavily in research, this will increase our ability to store power through, for example, battery technology...
