👁Fossil fuel companies know how to stop global warming. Why don't they?
🧠Myles Allen
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣The fossil fuel industry knows how to stop global warming, but they're waiting for someone else to pay, says climate science scholar Myles Allen. Instead of a total ban on carbon-emitting fuels, Allen puts forth a bold plan for oil and gas companies to progressively decarbonize themselves and sequester CO2 deep in the earth, with the aim of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and creating a carbon dioxide disposal industry that works for everyone.

👁The actual cost of preventing climate breakdown
🧠Yuval Noah Harari
🗣Subtitle: 🇬🇧English | 🇹🇷Turkish

He makes the case that preventing ecological cataclysm will not require the major global disruptions many fear and explains that we already have the resources we need -- it's just a matter of shifting our priorities.

👁Your body language may shape who you are
🧠Amy Cuddy
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣(NOTE: Some of the findings presented in this talk have been referenced in an ongoing debate among social scientists about robustness and reproducibility. Read "Criticisms & updates" below for more details as well as Amy Cuddy's response.) Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy argues that "power posing" -- standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don't feel confident -- can boost feelings of confidence, and might have an impact on our chances for success.
