BG talked about two different areas, vaccines and reproductive health care. Which some people interpret as abortion.

co2 is warming the planet and the
00:05
equation on co2 is actually a very
00:08
straightforward one if you sum up the
00:11
co2 that gets emitted that leads to a
00:15
temperature increase and that
00:16
temperature increase leads to some very
00:19
negative effects the effects on the
00:21
weather perhaps worse the indirect
00:23
effects in that the natural ecosystems
00:26
can't adjust to these rapid changes and
00:28
so you get ecosystem collapses now the
00:31
exact amount of how you map from a
00:34
certain increase in of co2 to what
00:37
temperature will be and where the
00:38
positive feedbacks are there's some
00:40
uncertainty there but not very much and
00:43
there's certainly uncertainty about how
00:45
bad those effects will be but they will
00:47
be extremely bad I asked the top
00:50
scientists and at several times do we
00:52
really have to get down to near zero
00:54
can't we just you know cut it in half or
00:56
a quarter and the answer is that until
00:58
we get near to zero the temperature will
01:02
continue to rise and so that's that's a
01:04
big challenge it's very different than
01:06
saying you know we're a 12-foot high
01:08
truck trying to get under a ten foot
01:10
bridge and we can just sort of squeeze
01:12
under this is something that has to get
01:16
to zero now we put out a lot of carbon
01:19
dioxide every year over twenty six
01:22
billion tons for each American it's
01:25
about 20 tons for people in poor
01:28
countries it's less than one ton it's an
01:30
average about five tons for everyone on
01:33
the planet and somehow we have to make
01:35
changes that will bring that down to
01:38
zero it's been constantly going up it's
01:42
only various economic changes that have
01:45
even flattened it all so we have to go
01:47
from rapidly rising to falling and
01:50
falling all the way to zero this
01:52
equation has four factors a little bit
01:55
of multiplication so you've got a thing
01:57
on the Left co2 that you want to get to
01:59
zero and that's going to be based on the
02:01
number of people the services each
02:04
person's using on average the energy on
02:07
average for each service and the co2
02:10
being put out a per unit of energy
02:14
so let's look at each one of these and
02:15
see how we can get this down to zero
02:19
probably one of these numbers is gonna
02:21
have to get pretty near to zero now
02:23
that's back from a high school algebra
02:25
but let's let's take a look first we've
02:28
got population now the world today has
02:31
6.8 billion people that's headed up to
02:34
about 9 billion now if we do a really
02:36
great job on new vaccines health care
02:40
reproductive health services we could
02:42
lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent[/quote]
02:44
but there we see an increase of about
02:47
1.3 this new vaccines new vaccines new
02:56
vaccines healthcare reproductive health
02:58
services we could lower that by perhaps
03:00
10 or 15 percent
