Excellent. We need more strong speakers like her in Humanity, that face facts directly and seek realistic solutions. Despair is not an option.
-
The intro says a lot about why Generalized anxiety has become more and more prominent.
-
It rhymes well with the ending "we need to do it bigger and much, much faster" that the example of the multistory bike rack in Amsterdam is already obsolete. It was too small, so it has been closed and replaced with a super fresh underground manned bike garage with the capacity of 7,000 bikes (and a smaller one for 4,000 bikes on the other side of the train station).

If she is half right, then she is ten times more hopeful than I am.
-
New narrative needed. Hannah Ritchie delivers an optimistic and datarich perspective to current and new generations to come. Kudos!

Thank you TED for getting back on track with an excelent talk, which is properly data driven and rational. Great job mrs. Ritchie, we need you!

Reduce animal suffering is required to achieve sustainability.
-
It's odd that she cites increasing crop yields as that has come only through the ubiquitous use of fossil based fertilizer, pesticides, and a whole host of damaging agricultural techniques that have degraded the soil and environment to dangerous levels. Furthermore, the mining necessary for the renewables and electric cars she advocates come with their own strong dose of environmental destruction and human oppression. Optimism is so alluring but is it based in reality? The only hope is for widespread acceptance of the need for dramatic lifestyle change away from consumption, extraction, and exploitation of animals.
