What is the difference between risk and uncertainty. Under conditions of risk, we know what might happen and we know roughly how likely each outcome is. Under conditions of uncertainty, we don't know the possible outcomes and we can't assign probabilities to them.It's not exactly ideal. So, are insurers longing for risk. Impactful changes, both large and small, are transforming the way our global systems operate.For example, weight loss drugs. The new market for GLP1 or obesity drugs is forecasted to reach ...

RT U.S. Department of Energy (@ENERGY).@POTUS: “Climate change is the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world…If you don’t get away from the green energy scam, your country is going to fail.” 👏 https://t.co/vaPEpscAQz ...

[Music] I've got to say I feel quite self-conscious about standing here today. And that's because what I'm about to share with you is something that none of you want to hear. About three years ago, I was hit with a brutal, brutal truth. that we were no longer going to make it. Those climate deadlines, we were missing them. And those planetary boundaries that we'd been warned about, we were surpassing them over and over again. And then a veritable cluster of other crises arrived. AI. So AI singularity is set ...

[Music] My auntie told me a story that was passed down to her by my grandmother that many years ago before the advent of civilization in my village that people moved about their daily lives and activities naked like Adam and Eve kind of naked. Then the white men came to our village and they found this situation very uncomfortable. So they decided to do something about it.The first of us started by introducing school uniforms to children and mandated that they have to put on these uniforms in order to get to ...

Imagine you were born in a rural community on the vast grasslands. In an age where everyone dreams of living for the city in search of a better life. What would you choose.A stable job, the convenience of an urban life or a return to the grasslands in Sanjang, the source region of Chinese three great rivers. I met a young man named Taiang. He is a university graduate who could have stayed in the city.Yet he made a decision that surprised me. He went back to the grasslands to become a herder once again. And ...

Do you think the world today needs more young angry women. Sorry to be gender specific. What I meant was, do you think the world today needs more young angry people.I believe it does. With everything happening around us, the melting ice caps, rising temperatures, wildfire, floods, we need more young voices to speak up. Not with hate but with urgency.Not with noise but with purpose. Good morning everyone. My name is Akira Prasad of class 6th and today I am going to share some real life stories and personal r ...

Main Argument - Science often feels inaccessible due to poor communication from scientists and an overwhelming amount of information [1][2][3][9][10] - The key to understanding science is to find its relevance to everyday life and to ask questions [2][7][14][15][17] - Scientists need to improve their communication by sharing the stories and purposes behind their work, not just the data [3][23][24] - Non-scientists can help by asking questions, engaging with the material, and challenging explanations that don't make sense [24][25] Examples & Illustrations - Cooking is presented as an example of everyday science involving observation, testing, and learning [1][2] - Plate tectonics is used as an example of an abstract scientific concept that is relevant to everyday life, such as the formation of oceans, mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes [4][5][6][8] - Climate change is used as an example of a complex scientific issue with conflicting information, where the "climate stripes" are presented as an intuitive way to understand the issue [10][11] - Scientists drilling into ancient ice in Antarctica are seeking air bubbles that are "time capsules" of Earth's atmosphere from a million years ago [16][19] Call to Action - Scientists should build "bigger doors" to make science more accessible and inspiring [22] - Non-scientists should embrace curiosity, ask questions, and challenge scientists to improve their communication [21][24][25]

So Lee, what are we here to talk about today. Extreme weather is forcing insurers to make big changes to their business model and get more creative. So what impact might that have.Insurers have had to pay out more than hundred billion dollar a year in natural catastrophe losses every year this decade. This year has already seen heavy insured losses with January's wildfires in LA costing the industry 30 to40 billion. LA is just one of many destinations where residents are moving into harm's way.In the US, pe ...

[Applause] Look who's here today in this big airond conditioned auditorium with cushioned seats and high-tech equipment. You came here to talk to listen to kids talk about sustainability.

You have a car. You don't have to worry about where you're going to sleep.Maybe you're worried about what you might wea ...

[Music] Our evolution is deeply connected to heat. Fire was our first great technology. With the flame, we chased out the cold, cooked food, and sought colder climates.We soon used fire to forge tools and drive industry. Today, we burn fuel to create steam and generate electricity. But burning things for energy is creating a crisis.We must urgently reduce emissions to avert climate change. Yet, our energy demand is rising. I know what you're thinking.We're screwed. But the answer is closer than you think. B ...
