Neil deGrasse Tyson: Earth Will Survive Climate Change, We WON’T! (Video)

Home • Environment • Neil deGrasse Tyson: Earth Will Survive Climate Change, We WON’T! (Video)

In a recent installment of StarTalk Radio, Neil deGrasse Tyson told listeners to stop trying to save Earth; it will still be here long after humans check out.  Tyson hosts the podcast/radio show with guest celebrities and scientists where they discuss astronomy, physics and everything else about the universe.

“The good thing about science is that it’s true, whether or not you believe it. But the experimental consensus is there that human beings, by virtue of our conduct, burning sources of carbon, fossil fuels among them, that have been buried for millions of years. Carbon previously underground is now in the atmophere, and that source of carbon makes carbon dioxide a greenhouse gas and is warming the earth. We are warming and that comes with consequences.”
“Earth will survive this. People say ‘save the Earth.’ No, Don’t worry about Earth. Earth will be here long after we render ourselves extinct. What happens is that we’re changing the climate faster than our culture may be able to respond. One of the consequences is you melt ice caps and the water levels rise.

Not inches, not feet, but tens of feet. and that will begin to flood coastlines. Some of the most important cities in the world were built on coastlines for the very reason that was how you established trade…So the very foundation of our civilization requires coastlines that existed at a time when there was not global climate change. The kind that would be warming the Earth. So get ready for that. It’s going to redraw the maps of the world, unless we do something about it.”
