It’s a great video for showing what that many tons of greenhouse gases would like like if we could see them. I can’t remember off-hand which organization produced it, but there is also an incredible computer simulation of a 21st century “waterfall”, that shows how much volume/space 800 empty, plastic water bottles that are not recycled take up.

But re. the TED video though – climate survivalism? I think that gives the wrong impression. I liked her saying, and giving examples, that this is “not just to survive but to thrive” (nicve example of Oxfam America’s insurance scheme for farmers in Ethiopia); and it was quite uplifting (sometimes, literally!) to see her examples of climate change “resilient” architecture, planning, design etc that are a mix of common sense and ingenuity.
