9 Out Of 10 Americans Are Completely Wrong About This Mind-Blowing Fact!

This pretty much speaks for itself.

At 1:05 minutes I get a rude awakening. At 1:41, he starts talking about you. At 2:24, he says a "bad" word. At 3:50, he kind of breaks my brain.

At 4:50, he lets you know how broke you really are. At 5:20, he rubs it in.

And at 5:50 minutes, he points out that reality isn't close to what we think it is.

Set aside the politics: Data shows that climate change is happening, measurably, now. And as Vicki Arroyo says, it's time to prepare our homes and cities for the new climate, with its increased risk of flooding, drought and uncertainty. She illustrates this inspiring talk with bold projects from cities all over the world - local examples of thinking ahead.

The climate is quickly changing. Scientists increasingly talk of a new period in the Earth's history, the "anthropocene", in which human impact on the planet has become dominant.

Yet we remain unprepared to deal with the consequences: specifically, the disruption and cost. Lawyer Vicki Arroyo, the executive director of the Georgetown Climate Center, works on climate mitigation and adaptation policies as viable solutions to climate change’s inevitable disruptions to current practices.

Austerity, Finance, and the Polarization of Wealth

Toronto: 18 January 2012 - Over the last several decades, inequality has been steadily increasing, with the 1% enjoying ever higher concentrations of wealth, while members of the 99% experience greater poverty.

What are the underlying factors that lead to this polarization of wealth? How do our economic and financial policies favour capital over ordinary people? How has the situation worsened since the financial meltdown?

The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation has collaborated with a remarkable teenage filmmaker to create a new video that debunks the Cold War theory that nuclear weapons make us secure.

Called “The Myth of Deterrence,” the five-minute video challenges the dangerous idea that has been at the heart of U.S. foreign policy and nuclear strategy for many decades.

It was scripted by the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation President David Krieger and Director of Programs Rick Wayman, together with filmmaker Erik Choquette.

“The major point of this short video is that deterrence is a theory, and its reliability is a myth,” said Dr. Krieger. “Deterrence cannot be relied upon for protection. It can fail at any moment, and the consequences of failure would be catastrophic. A true understanding of the limits of deterrence provides a powerful argument for eliminating nuclear weapons globally.”

Hans Rosling on Global Population GrowthThe world's population will grow to 9 billion over the next 50 years - and only by raising the living standards of the poorest can we check population growth.

This is the paradoxical answer that Hans Rosling unveils at TED@Cannes using colorful new data display technology.
Even the most worldly and well-traveled among us will have their perspectives shifted by Hans Rosling.

A professor of global health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, his current work focuses on dispelling common myths about the so-called developing world, which (he points out) is no longer worlds away from the West.

In fact, most of the Third World is on the same trajectory toward health and prosperity, and many countries are moving twice as fast as the west did.
