John Doerr: Seeking salvation and profit in greentech



Uploaded by: TEDtalksDirector
Video Description:
http://www.ted.com "I don't think we're going to make it," John Doerr proclaims, in an emotional talk about climate change and investment. Spurred on by his daughter, who demanded he fix the mess the world is heading for, he and his partners at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers embarked on a greentech world tour -- surveying the state of the art, from the ethanol revolution in Brazil to Wal-mart's (!) eco-concept store in Bentonville, Arkansas. KPCB is investing $200 million in green technologies to save the planet and make a profit to boot. But, Doerr fears, it may not be enough.

JohThm,
For an unbiased and pragmatic discussion of global climate change, please watch "How it all Ends" by wonderingmind42. That video will address your concerns about the predictive power of science and the economic costs of action on global climate change.

You know what this is? This is, what in the 1940's was called propaganda. You will notice that he has legal advice and very quickly adds the following "Scientist say, but it is yet to be proved" and then carries on like the scientists DID prove it. This guy is nothing more than an "evolutionist'a'like" but with one tiny difference. Him and his cronies get lots of money for "green" products that are nothing more than common sense with with a 200% price hike.

You said, it we can only do so much. I work for an engineering firm, what we do is we create sustainable designs. Currently, there is a paradigm shift occuring with A&E professionals. Mass collaboration has finally made it mainstream, with this we are now attempting to design a sustainable city for about half a million people. I would say that within 12 to 24 months you will start to see a shift within the people of america.

agreed, I did feel emotion in it, and i thaught it was heartfelt at the end to the degree of the guy wanting to see his daughter in many years to come. However, in this scenario its highly likely that it was a case of, "yeah, that guys crying, lets *jump on the bandwagon*"... at the end of the day, i see this as a guy whos moved by climate change... but if he wants others to as well, put some hard facts into things. I myself live life normally, BUT, recycle (if theres the opportunity to do so)

this is not a responsible way of talking about climate change, and certainly not one that encourages positive action. you should learn a thing or two about communication before going on TED with a speech and giving a presentation that will be viewed by tens of thousands

Plants take in CO2 - they want all the CO2 they can get, which is why there is onyl 0.00037% CO2 in the air: Whic hgoes up in an ice age!
You realize that ... ( 4 months ago by bdist)
You realize that humans emit 7 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year? Plants cannot absorb even a very small fraction of that. Plants created the oil in the first place. It took 300 million years to create our reserves. We have burnt them in 200 years.
Research the greenhouse effect. Without it our planet would be a LOT colder. We couldn't survive here. Venus on the other hand has a lot more co2 in it's atmosphere and that planet is so warm we couldn't survive there. Do your research first.
