Physicist Geoffrey West discovered that simple mathematical laws govern cities. He found that a city's population can predict various aspects, including wealth, crime rates, and walking speed.

In his insightful TEDGlobal talk, West explains this remarkable phenomenon, demonstrating how similar scaling laws also apply to organisms and corporations.

COP discussions on climate change mitigation and adaptation have proven ineffective. Instead, planetary-scale action is crucial for restoring natural ecological function. John D. Liu leads this effort, engaging thousands across over 80 global restoration projects.

Nick Breeze, author of COPOUT, and Liu explore ways to protect Earth’s vital systems. This program, from COP29 in Baku, includes an inspiring clip from "The Flourishing Path" featuring Jane Goodall.

Nick Breeze's book, "COPOUT: How Governments Have Failed the People on Climate," offers an insider's account of UN Climate Conferences (COPs) from Paris 2015 to Dubai. He often crossed paths with the late Stuart Scott, founder of this channel.

Despite nearly 30 years of COPs, emissions have surged 60%, CO2 levels reached 421 ppm, and global temperatures averaged 1.64°C last year, exceeding safe limits. This year's COP in Azerbaijan, led by an oil and gas executive, promises emission reductions and renewable energy, but omits nature restoration.

The global climate emergency is undeniable, with extreme weather impacting every continent—from wildfires and heatwaves to droughts and ocean temperature anomalies. Despite these clear signs, political action to end fossil fuel subsidies remains insufficient. What future awaits us?

In this program, Peter Carter (Climate Emergency Institute) and Paul Beckwith (Climate System Scientist) explain why transitioning from fossil fuels is essential for our survival. The discussion is hosted by Dale Walkonen and edited by Mike Coe.

March 26, 2009, marked 20 years since the Exxon Valdez spilled nearly 11 million gallons of oil into Prince William Sound. Despite two decades of cleanup and legal battles, residents still struggle for justice, and a complete understanding of the disaster remains elusive.

Investigative reporter Greg Palast, whose career was shaped by the lack of thorough inquiries into the spill, discusses its true history with Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio. Watch their interview on golefttv.

Governments, constrained by global economic competition, struggle to address the climate crisis effectively. John Bunzl offers The SIMPOL pledge, enabling citizens to vote for politicians who commit to simultaneous climate action once enough nations agree. Corporations can also sign to lower emissions.

Bunzl, with Nick Duffell, co-authored *The SIMPOL Solution*, which explores the psychological, political, and economic barriers preventing unified action on the #ClimateCrisis.

To learn more and take the pledge, visit simpol.org. Businesses can join at theclimatepledge.com. *The Simpol Solution* is available at Barnes & Noble and Amazon. For more information on our planet, visit the FacingFuture Library.

Taking climate scientists like Peter Wadhams and Paul Beckwith seriously at COP would yield vastly different outcomes than COP28's "bandaid" solutions. COP28's deals, focusing on minor fixes like leaky pipes and cow burps, are insufficient for the severe climate crisis. Wealthy nations offer millions where trillions are needed, failing to address the damage they've caused.

The COP process, exemplified by COP28's 100,000 attendees—many representing fossil fuel interests—has failed to enact real change over 28 years. Our team offers commentary on this year's "COP out." For more information, visit the FacingFuture Library at https://facingfuture.earth/library.

Twenty years after the Exxon Valdez oil tanker spilled nearly 11 million gallons into Prince William Sound, residents still struggle for justice. Despite two decades of trials and environmental cleanup, the full truth behind the disaster remains unclear.

Investigative journalist Greg Palast, whose career began covering this story due to insufficient inquiries, discusses the Exxon Valdez's true history with Mike Papantonio of Ring of Fire. For more, visit golefttv.
