Mormons and the "Global Warming/Climate Change Hoax"

You may have seen this video already as it has been going viral. Short speech as part of a debate at the Oxford Union. It is a critique of woke culture, but it mainly focuses on the realities of combatting climate change. Well worth 9 minutes.

tl;dr summary: the only thing that will save us is scientific/engineering breakthroughs resulting in cheap, clean energy.

I’ve made this same argument many times and he’s exactly right. China and India don’t care about climate change since they can’t feed their population. Reducing emissions by buying a Tesla will make someone feel good, but it won’t impact climate change anymore than my vote will impact a national election.

Cheap energy is the only way and by cheap I don’t mean heavily subsidized.
