humisoil3: We have had the mentality to disrespect life for 1000's of years, but we only found the tool of fossil fuels that has empowered us to show this disrespect in the last 200 years! So I agree with you it has been fast tracted!

Melissa Morgan: It does seem like it should have took us 1000's of years but, The industrial age was only 200 yrs ago. I'm not trying to be mean, but are you not shocked its only took us that long to destroy ourselves?

Melissa Morgan: The Navajo Livestock Reduction was imposed upon the Navajo Nation by the federal government in the 1930s.The Federal Government decided that the land of the Navajo Nation could not support the increasingly large flocks of goats & sheep & the herds of cattle & wild horses. Land erosion was observed in many parts of the Nation. Many federal officials concluded that the only solution was to drastically reduce the livestock. This is still in effect for the Navajo today can someone educate the gov?

Mau Peña: this is the most badass person Ive seen in my 14 years of life. we can safe the planet, erradicate hunger, and have alot of money in revenew. damn, he is my new idol

Jackie Reilly: Im all for the message, Its a very important one. The camera work was shit and does detract from it.

humisoil3: We can work with nature and help heal the damage we have been doing for 1000's of years. Life supports more life in a possitive cycle once we understand it.

Pa Lo: no need for crude language here!

sethitzkan: NyRamsey, I regret that you missed his point. He is *reversing* the damage caused by traditional livestock management using a new method called Holistic Management that replicates the behavior patterns of the wild ruminants that the grasslands co-evolved with and depend on. This has nothing to do with the cattle industry. Please read up on the topic. This is a fascinating innovation that is gaining interested from NGOs, governments, and scientists world round. see Savory Institute

Amy Bee: "This can be done at no cost." Wow.

ALPHADESIGNTAMPICO: I was waiting for him to say that the solution was peeing on the floor or something

dance2live13: that was a joking "who?" right? cuz if you don't know Ian Somerhalder, you're missing out :)

PullinaPalin: wish this wasn't so boring I want to watch it I do but its so dull

mitzimoose: I nominate Steven Jobs! Definitely he is on the top 20 without any doubt...... As for those wanting to deny the reality or many factors contributing to climate change, I say, get an education in science before you sign onto being a tool of right-wing media. They make money while they destroy the future and they don't give a rip because they won't be around to reap the loveliest of the 'benefits' of the inherited legacy of land rape and out-of-balance fossil-fuel economy...

mojothemigo: I think you should look up the great global warming swindle. They say there most definitly is a debate and people who try to stop it can't win. Think about what you just said. there is no debate about global warming because we say so. 20 thousand of the 30 thousand scientists who came out for that big study while back wanted their names removed. A lot of your side is claiming scientists it does not have

Neylonx: an article in new scientist about public transparency in climate research. They said one of the problems is the public and media misconception that man-made climate change is a huge debate, and that by being more open with the public, scientists might be able to put an end to that. They said scientists should learn to trust the public to understand that, as for every scientific theory ever, there will be a small amount of contradictory studies, and not leap to conclusions from them.

BaconSizzle48: @hypnoz123 Do you think desertification is unimportant?

hypnoz123: Wow what a complete moron. He has absolutely no concept of what he's preaching about and such arrogance to claim he "knows what the biggest threat to humanity" is. Pathetic beyond belief. Why did the last ice age end?

devonriley415: I went to the website and the domain is yet unclaimed. Maybe Americans can't access it? I'd sure like to, so i can try and find out what the hell he's talking about and why a reputible group like TED is helping him talk about it. I'd just like to know some solid science about it. I really, really hope this is something that will really work. PS: We should keep in mind that people who would probably be against it should go, so they can learn. Oprah and Ian Somerhalder aren't good candidates.
