Elon Musk's Unbelievably Simple 12-minute Killer Break Down on Climate Change

Nothing as good as watching one of the smartest men on earth break down one of the most complex and urgent problems on earth....and all for free. ain't the internet grand?

Elon isn't nervous, he talks like this literally every interview or talk he gives. He just talks that way. This man is a genius and I completely agree with his ideas

Elon is a an incredible human being. The problem that is happening in 2022 at least in the County i’m living in is, they have introduced the Carbon tax on people , so gas / food / utilities are now 10-15% more expensive , but no break in taxes / costs to investing into clean energy , the majority of people on Earth can not afford these technologies or the increase in the cost of living . So what the leaders basically done with climate change is they increased the cost of living for everyone with carbon tax, but that money is mostly going into their pockets and not the transition. this is why humanity doomed because money rules most people not common sense .

Agree except does anyone really believe a carbon tax would lead to other taxes being lower? Politicians will simply waste that new revenue stream. Or cook the books to look like it is revenue neutral.

It’s amazing to watch someone, who is obviously NOT a gifted speaker, be a great communicator! Go, Elon!

The thing I like about this talk is, he could have made this a sales pitch for Tesla/Solar City... But he didn't. He genuinely cares!!

The current virus situation is a good example of how people will believe whatever they want to no matter what or how much logic is presented to them.

Remember, Elon has an awful lot invested in electric vehicles, which are waning in sales. He knows full well that despite the increase in C02 it plays a miniscule role in the climate.

Dammit. He seemed disappointed from the lack of response to "turd in the punch bowl" I know I was

Elon Musk will be the subject of a great film one day.

Very simplistic speech. There is no climate crisis. This was a sales pitch for Tesla.

The problem with the carbon tax idea is the Government doesn't use that extra revenue wisely. They'll spend it on all kinds of destructive things-wars, socially catastrophic things, giveaways to their big donors, etc.. IF a carbon tax was GUARANTEED to be used for good, ecological purposes I would have no problem with it. We've been lied to, too many times by our bureaucrats.

Elon talks this way because his mind works faster then he can talk. The man is a Genius.

I would like to see a revisit on this subject. 5 years should be a good enough time to analyze where we are moving now.

0:55 The so called "extra carbon" was once part of the carbon cycle. The CEO of the largest electric car company, talking about the dangers of fosil fuels. No conflict of interest!

There is lot of scientist who aren't corrompt who says that we can't value the carbon with the climate change. The hottest period was is in 1970 for exemple... And if you compare per 100 years or 1000, you'll see the same change in the climate at period there werent industry. We should be careful about it

I'll say this, I have in the past been what most of you would call a global warming denier, not so much the science, but because anytime you punish the oil/coal producers, the people who really get hurt the most are the poor, energy costs directly affect the poor, but listening to Elon (who I respect immensely) break it down, he's actually changed my mind! We will one day move to renewable energy sources, we might as well expedite that day for the common good!

The problem with the spike climb graph around 1:46 is that it doesn't show that it also plateaus as time goes on. Meaning that we cant possibly add more than we already have and currently are. And over time we will steadily fall down from that level with more efficient engineering and inventions.

Does flying in private jets multiple times a day add to this or is that fine
