I’ve just started watching this, but I agree with the opening statement. We should be more angry. We shouldn’t tolerate people with more than $100 million or maybe not more than $20 million in personal net worth. Corporation should also be limited in size. I don’t have a solid number but 500 million is probably large enough.

Wealth disparity drives poverty. It drives the cruelty and the destruction we are all enduring

Mark Maslin’s ending remarks are right on the money.

One of the most important discussions we need in dealing with the climate is a complete rethink about what matters to us.

Because the money and the brick rack don’t count for nearly as much as a people we care about. Community gives us meaning and purpose.

This is how humanity evolved

At the 16 minute mark or so, here is a climatologist repeating something that I had stated earlier that 1.5 is a global average, but that temperature changes are not evenly distributed over the Earth. Higher latitudes experience greater temperature changes and this means much more dramatic changes in weather extremes.

Climate reporting has been terrible on this point and to some degree the IPCC has done a disservice by suggesting that the global South will feel the worst of it.
