actually, I think we should do this or we should do that and just guessing what to do. mitigation , perhaps we'll get to a point where some of the types of calculations we're interested in for drug discovery, for instance,
Hi, everybody. So I would like to introduce David Keith from Harvard who is in the area of climate modeling and climate mitigation . He's kind of the eminent voice on how we can actually overcome the climate problem.He's very reasonable, has dealt with the technology of climate geoengineering, the dangers of it, the ethics of it,
To save coral reefs, we've got to figure out mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation here is mitigation on climate change.This means figuring out the problem we're creating on the planet by putting so many greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and changing our climate.
restrict activities in in time and space to reduce their co-occurrence with animals that's that that's one the prime mitigation techniques associated with these acute effects um and it also starts to get out of some of theseadditional sublethal influences of you know an animal may not have such an aversive reaction that it winds up on
their lifetime or happening to them chronically in their lifetime so mitigations there's a suite of mitigations that we've gotten better and better at um to address those lethal conditions especially for marine mammalsmechanisms for first off trying to um reduce the co-occurrence of animals
that um I feel are having really strong effects and that we are less prepared and have less of a history with developing mitigation and developing dialogues with with specific Industries so I've um I that has that has been the
are on board, we've got a perfect opportunity of recreating buck what used to be there. Inter-mitigation of human-elephant conflict.
Second challenge was to then figure out, how do you maximize the sunlight hitting the arrays without But mitigation 's tough.
schools is lower expectations so I expect for you to be risk mitigation because nobody's perfect right especially for the for the important opportunities yeah did you
it's not the case that we need to shoulder burdens in any meaningful sense to take action on the mitigation side or on the adaptation side. Um you know, what's called the levelized cost of electricity, which is a a somewhat misleading measure of how expensive electricity is, but has been the sort of industry standard for a generation. Um
But there are lots of people and lots of companies who want to invest in a better world and who see the synergies between ocean protection and climate change mitigation which are beginning to emerge. Some of these habitats that we're protecting by protecting the fish-- protect the habitat, the habitat soaks up carbon.
But actually, the room where it's happening has moved to the private sector, to private equity or privately held corporations, and we may still think about risk mitigation to the downside.
But actually, the room where it's happening has moved to the private sector, to private equity or privately held corporations, and we may still That is about risk mitigation .
similar in terms of integrating um integrating sighting information and those have been powerful you the the base the basis of mitigation development is knowing where animals are and it's a huge huge huge task to um describe well how animals use the environment in a way
Finding all asteroid threats to human populations and knowing what to do about them, that's even really beyond our mission. In terms of mitigation and deflecting, that's not our bailiwick. But what the Grand Challenge enables us to do is take an area that we do a lot of work in and start a conversation
Is there water, a fuel source for deeper exploration, minerals? And then finally-- mitigation . Once we find something that's on its way, we need to figure out, out of the multiple choices that we have now, how
He has no self-control. He wants it, he wants it. And there's no mitigation of whatever emotion he happens to be feeling. So, you know, if we look at, you know, the issue of courage, of self-control in the face of danger as being a sort of tug of war
And we were going to send it someplace really far away, like Texas. But the mitigations are making things easier.
And we were going to send it someplace really far away, like Texas. So why are the mitigations making things better?
The U.S. Geological Survey shares data with local governments and the public to prepare for and map floods. And different methods of flood mitigation are used all over the world, including a flood relief channel in Vienna, “sponge cities” that absorb water into the ground in China, and houses built on stilts by the Indigenous Gayo people in Indonesia.
leadership move to help lift the sector to be more honest and transparent about when fraud occurs and then mitigation afterwards. We we hope so. We we we we hope that we're creating the space for people to
But there's nothing magic about halving it. So the model has started mitigation now and gradually built it up.
And GJS Security is a hostile environment, training, and support group. And they're a risk mitigation company. And if you are a journalist and you're about to cover a war zone or a hurricane, if you are an NGO worker and you're
people who work in climate change mitigation will describe themselves as working in for force it strategy because
And we were going to send it someplace really far away, like Texas. And then we have some of these mitigation technologies that people have been thinking about.
And we were going to send it someplace really far away, like Texas. And then I'll describe the mitigation technologies that we used to try and see what happened with time delay.
And we were going to send it someplace really far away, like Texas. So in order to create these mitigation technologies, we put together a gigantic list of components under the covers.
I'm going to argue that it's got four parts. The first is individuals can do a lot on the mitigation
statistic uh we've found that overpasses and underpasses and mitigation techniques are wildly successful at
prioritize the placement of these overpasses and underpasses and other mitigation structures so another great
to to address this issue so that's that's sort of what my task is oh and you wanted us to talk a little bit about mitigation right mitigation um uh is an incredibly Rich topic I I won't go on for a long time but I'll just sort of touch on you heard the influence of
um that's not something I can speak to um but there has been um a lot of work very close work between Noah and the Navy to develop um mitigation programs over time and space and um I think I'll leave it there for now um I can speak just to the last little bit with the
allocation, and risk mitigation .
And we were going to send it someplace really far away, like Texas. So without knowing anything more than I've said about these mitigation technologies, do you think they're going to make things better?
And we were going to send it someplace really far away, like Texas. The crew thought workload went down when we added those mitigation technologies.
that we deal with which is sublethal impacts things that don't kill the animal um but that we get concerned about happening to them repeatedly in their lifetime or happening to them chronically in their lifetime so mitigations there's a suite of mitigations that we've gotten better and better at um to address those lethal conditions especially for marine mammals
And in fact, there are several orbital debris mitigation companies that have started trying to develop technologies to clean up the space debris that
It actually varies with time in a way that we didn't alter in the model. And that shows you the way we have marginal abatement costs for mitigation and for CDR in our modification of the model. CDR is Carbon Dioxide Removal.
But there's nothing magic about halving it. Then there's risks that are often called the moral hazard or the mitigation threat, the risk that just talking about these technologies,
proximity operations. You're going to have to learn how to operate around this foreign object. The same type of knowledge might be useful in terms of a mitigation solution. Are you dealing with an asteroid that a gravity tractor might work, where you have a mass that helps pull, slowly nudge, this threatening asteroid off of its course and
Second challenge was to then figure out, how do you maximize the sunlight hitting the arrays without I would say that the biggest hurdle is going to be in mitigation .
And we were going to send it someplace really far away, like Texas. And again, you can see that the mitigations are making things better.
Um and I worry that the basic pattern is going to continue to be that going forward, even into a much warmer future, where rather than changing course on the mitigation side, yes, but also more profoundly, perhaps, on the adaptation side, rather than changing course and designing a much more responsive and resilient future,
being done by people like national space agencies like the ESA and NASA, the space debris mitigation companies, and space researchers who
But actually, the room where it's happening has moved to the private sector, to private equity or privately held corporations, and we may still because they needed to bring those ideas into the boardroom as we start to think about not just that risk mitigation that I talked about earlier, but also thinking
In fact, I went in front of Congress and spoke on non-lethal human-wildlife conflict mitigation , and using technology to advance that field.
We tried to keep it open as much as possible, and to put a mitigation plan in place.
in order to save coral reefs. To save coral reefs, we've got to figure out mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation here is mitigation on climate change.
have to make smart decisions about how we save coral reefs. And so I'm coming back to my simple equation before, mitigation plus adaptation equals saving coral reefs. I actually want to dive into the adaptation part now.
And then you want to see that happening, and you want to create the mitigation for it, the likely results.
