"Nobody is in control"? Whenever I hear this kind of claim, I know I've come across someone who has no interest in and has never studied power relations. Rees is a johnny-one-note who views everything through his single lens of an invariable human nature. He claims that "the status quo is what most people want." Not true. Just an excuse for his rejection of radical political solutions.

Obvious but well said ❤

Fascinating - horrifying and slightly depressing, but still fascinating - and eye-opening conversation. Thank you so much, both, for your time and your expertise. And no, Matt, this was at no point "boring". Thanks again.

Nuclear energy is the way forward. Ironically, nuclear development and expansion were brought to a standstill in many countries, particularly the US, at the hands of the " green movement". The irony is stunning.

The gambling effect seems expected to me, since I've known about it from the discoveries B.F. Skinner made in behavioral 'psychology'. There's various schedules of reinforcement that have been discovered, and gambling is a variable type schedule of reinforcement, and it has been found to be objectively the 'strongest' among many organisms, not just humans. "Strongest" in the sense that it generates the most behavior, for the least amount of reward. I don't think words like "rational" , "fatalistic" or "optimistic" are very useful concepts or very real (as in they don't map very well what's going in in reality, if at all) , and people's lack of understanding behavioral principles and using these concepts instead, is what makes them confused as to why people act a certain way, and thinking there's some kind of contradiction. Also that's not to say that variable schedule reinforcement is 'bad'. Nothing is good or bad in itself. The same schedule of reinforcement occurs not only in casinos, raffles etc. or in other places where it's used to exploit people, but it also occurs in science, and/or when you learn to enjoy something long term. Initially you get consistently reinforced, and the over time, the more you go through already discovered knowledge and start moving into the realm of researching and making discoveries yourself or basically being at the frontier of what is known , then what you'll discover and when, becomes more and more inconsistent (it's not as secure and consistent as just reading/repeating already known things), so you get reinforced more and more irregularly, with longer and longer periods of time without getting 'anything' , but you keep going anyway for years and decades. And over time it becomes from learning something new (from your perspective) every day, to eventually just working on something that you'll see the results for in 40 years. It's a very useful schedule of reinforcement if done for the 'right' things.

I have installed, designed or sold many energy efficient heating and cooling systems, renewable energy systems, solar thermal and pv systems, Currently I am a energy efficiency consultant, designer and trainer. I am a manufacturers rep for Arctic Heat Pumps. Together we can and will save our planet!!!! I have a full workable plan to a net zero world of cheap sustainable energy that is co2 free, abundant and never ever going to run out. It will be cheaper than fossil fuels and easily out perform them!!! My life has been dedicated to building out a sustainable future for our next generation. I have done this through renewable energy and energy efficiency in buildings. I have highly skilled expertise in mechanical and electrical systems. I have ideas on what needs to be done to create this new future. I would like to learn the views of others and gain new incites into how we solve the problem of a earth that is warming faster than human, animal and plant species can handle the changes. I want to help preserve a quality of life we currently experience for future generations. I also want to create a new sustainable net zero industrial revolution of cheap energy. I want to do this in harmony with our planet and its diverse life forms. I believe this is possible if we all work together.

Is this why there is now e10 fuel...

Thanks for platforming Art Berman, Rachel. A terrific conversation was had that we hope will have been both challenging and enlightening for some of the Planet Critical audience. Hopefully some will be awakening to the understanding that there really is no solution to extreme ecological #overshoot, and that by attempting to solve for the wrong predicament our misdiagnosis only exacerbates our existential situation. Some might like to take the opportunity to check out our presentations at the University of Tasmania with Bill Rees and Richard Heinberg on the subject of our complex and 'wicked problem'.

Saving the Planet is not the correct statement. Just saying. Saving humanity and other wildlife species from extinction is what really needs to be spoken about. Along with a Fiat fossil fuel economy and overpopulation is not sustainable capitalism has limits of growth.

Art is awesome as always. The host is, however, deeply annoying.

I was fired for showing the Al Gore film in 2008 to my rural AZ elementary students.

The planet is in crisis because of the success of humanity (with its technology). Grimalda got that right. Those who say humanity is a particularly bad species, and the only species who would fail to do the right thing, blah, blah, blah, are talking through their hats.

The electricity based economy is reaching maturity, after Nikola Tesla presented humanity with his greatest, the grid in the late 18th century. It took many millennia to reach the laws of thermodynamics. However, QED emerged at the outset of the grid. So, the answers are before. Use the grid, renewables, batteries, and hydrogen. Replace violence with education, as well.

My strategy is to not get emotional over those who will miss the bus so to speak. I focus on positioning myself in a surviving position and what happens to other people is up to them. What i am concerned about is the emotional crowd rioting when reality hits, and so hard that that essential technologies needed for survival are destroyed. I would rather have them throw their fit elsewere then where the new powers will be born from. I would like for people to realize that we are inside the titanic and can only use the elevators once, requiring choosing who gets to survive and do it with a rational head. The essential tech of the fiture will be largely a dtad of nuclear and biotechnolgies because they eother have tremdenous energy that can cleanup any mess they make, while biology is self sustaining and low footprint. In short one small tube of biotechnolgical material can turn into tonnes for nothing when doing the same with industrial materials that need to be torn up out of the ground is striking.

C'ome on Mark, show us the effective and efficient Reactor designs, and we can forgo the absolutely irrelevant b-s of costs, waste, placement etc, etc. "You can do it" as Steve Jobs said, and built an empire on a communications tool.

Einsteinian E=mC², and Bose-Einsteinian logarithmic condensation modulation superposition-quantization holography is "all we know, and all we need to know" of temporal thermodynamical real-time. All the rest is Commentary.

I have so much gratitude for the spirit of this humble man. The collective is going through a great death and the global oligarchs are not outside the reality.

U know how u get depressed, get beat up to young, loose people's, grow up with strangers , it's not a medicine thing , it's a how you treat other's! or haven't thing , 💝

what people don'T get is, in capitalism, the word "growth" -means- is used to mean the (maintanance of) the continous raising 'profit' extraction rates.

Restored my faith in the fundamental goodness of truly civilized humans... Thank you both very much.

A leader in degrowth! What an accolade! Stop buying from developing economies? Good start. This is a load of nonsense.

😂 Stop acting like we can fix this. The oil companies own our society and government. He wants to say we are f####d, and we most certainly are. It's just what catastrophe happens first and when it will happen. Is what we don't know. Glad I'm dead in 20-30 years, maybe sooner!

What a guy. I am in awe. Thank you for this interview Rachel. Please pass on my admiration to Gianluca. I am humbled by his humility and strength of character.

If your boat is delayed 7 weeks and you have to stay somewhere that time adding more pressure to local conditions and your employer is expecting you back and if you don't get on a plane and be back within 3 days they have decided you are fired is fair if you have been doing slow travelling 13 years.

At 8:40, it is interesting to hear him, a European, say that a lot of people believe climate change is a natural effect. I was under the impression that misinformation was specifically an American phenomenon.

There is really only one way to correct the 'man made' climate-change problem. Our profit model, "profit = income - expenses", is our instructions about how to live. Unfortunately, it is wrong in so many ways. First, it's a misinterpretation of the word profit. All of our actual gains come to us from the environment, yet our profit model instructs us to believe that the entire environment is nothing more than expenses. It requires us to avoid and or eliminate as many expenses as possible. It even instructs us to fire as many people from their jobs as we can. It misleads us into believing that profit is money minus everything else. No wonder there is so much homelessness and the planet is on fire. As long as we continue to live under these behavioral guidelines, our fate is sealed in doom and everything that we do to reverse "man-made" climate-change will backfire on us. Switching to wind and or solar power will double or even triple the damages we are doing to the environment, and these new energy infrastructures will themselves cause damages to the environment by their mere presence. Finally, our current profit model misleads us into believing that expenses are a curse when, in fact, they are a blessing. The real solution is to embrace our 'so called' expenses. Like this: "Profit = protecting and enriching the environment, and sharing the sustenance it provides for all of us". This new profit model changes the meaning of 'expenses' and that is why it works. This new 'profit' model requires us to create millions of new jobs that will come under the heading "Caretakers of the environment". Our environment can be fully repaired and enriched; additionally, we would all have jobs... so virtually no more homelessness.

People should reduce world population below 1 biillion

We are all on our way to becoming Homo Luminesque ♥️

This interview basically lays it all out. I’ve shared this episode with many people. I feel like we need an even more distilled version of this, maybe shortened to less than 30 mins, in order to make it even more digestible for the masses. Just trying to find ways to get people like my grandma to understand the situation.

The average human is an expert at not defending her/his own dignity. That's how dictatorships can emerge. That's how capitalism can survive while destroying the stability of the ecosphere.

If you want to know more about Gianluca, here's the trailer of the film "The Researcher" ua-cam.com/video/P2yKJXq5wLA/v-deo.html

Fantastic conversation!

1 millisecond. 5 tons of carbon by China. yes the absurdity of symbolic action is rich indeed.

53:02 The problem with AI (imo) is summed up well by what Terence said "it tells us stuff based on what we've already told it" AND because we know we need a paradigm shift, the vast majority of what we've told it is based on the old failing paradigm, and so therefore what it tells us is useless!

gambling leverages dopamine addiction just like playing card games or watching sports or fixating on elections. Modern civilization is all based on patriarchal ejaculation "Missile envy" as dopamine-cortisol accelerating addiction.

David F. Noble, former History professor of M.I.t., refused to even use email!! I highly recommend his books. Thanks for this interview.

Anyone and everyone who has aligned with the west have always prospered! The issue is not energy or economic ..it is political pure and simple

From La Zanzara to Planet Critical, I applaud your jump to a much higher quality platform :)

Germany is like Japanese society very "group-oriented". If you show your head out of the queue ...you are just out of the queue. The structure matters more than the components.

I'm pretty sure I was rejected from a job because I suggested a ground travel route (passenger train) would be convenient between satellite office and headquarters.

Basic income? That's just money printing. It won't work.

1. street protest 2. civil disobedience 3. completely de-register as a voter 4. publish, MONOPOLY = SLAVERY, on so-called sovereign monopoly money 5. remember that a statement of sovereignty is not secular 6. stop being addressed as the title of a so-called sovereign bank. 7. submit

Why can't we use ocean currents to generate energy? Ocean currents are more reliable than wind currents.

Yup, frequent flyers forfeit any right to cry crocodile tears over climate change. The endless "do as I say, not as I do" is beyond offensive now. Kevin Anderson is the other one who walks the talk.

That,'s being consistent. Walk the talk. Thanks, Gian and Rachel for pursuing "truth" and working torwards the best possible future

We don’t have the materials and minerals to keep living in such a way the provides us with the quantity and type of things we have currently. This means horses instead of cars, thatched roofs instead of asphalt shingles, time spent with people instead of devices. Sounds good to me tbh

his tribe just painted on Stonehenge. they are all paid terrorists!

everybody is a victim. on this planet, the climate has never, ever been constant. it's what this planet does. think about it! back in the day the whole earth was covered in ice. they call it snowball earth. then, guess what? THE CLIMATE CHANGED!!! NO ONE CAN STOP IT! sit down and shut up. go read a science book on the history of the planet, you grifter!

Hopefully this man is a trend setter.

The super wealthy think they’re winning in life by zipping around in their jets, yachts, convoys etc. but they’re just accelerating their own demise, hoisted by their own petard.
