-------------------------

Jeremy Rifkin is an American economic and social theorist, writer, public speaker, political advisor, and activist. Rifkin is the author of 21 bestselling books about the impact of scientific and technological changes on the economy, the workforce, society, and the environment.

Mr Rifkin is also advising the leadership of the Peoples Republic of China on the build-out and scale-up of the Internet Plus Third Industrial Revolution infrastructure to usher in a sustainable low-carbon economy. The Huffington Post reported from Beijing on October 29th 2015 that “Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has not only read Jeremy Rifkin’s book, The Third Industrial Revolution, and taken it to heart. He and his colleagues have also made it the core of the country’s thirteenth Five-Year Plan…” The Huffington Post goes on to say that “this blueprint for China’s future signals the most momentous shift in direction since the death of Mao and the advent of Deng Xiaoping’s reform and opening up in 1978.”

According to EurActiv, “Jeremy Rifkin is an American economist and author whose best-selling Third Industrial Revolution arguably provided the blueprint for Germany’s transition to a low-carbon economy and China’s strategic acceptance of climate policy.”

Mr Rifkin is a principal architect of the European Union’s long-term Third Industrial Revolution economic vision and development plan to usher in an Internet of Things digital infrastructure across the European Union and its partnership regions to create a smart post-carbon economy, ecological society, and the world’s largest single integrated economic marketplace. The plan is called “Smart Europe.”

All these facts are wonderfully explained and express my thoughts and feelings about the future of life on our planet. The main problem what is holding all these life saving attitudes and technologies back, is the profit driven mindset of corporations, shareholders and the total incompetence of politicians. We, the people have to get off our asses and become more aware, proactive in education, consumption and action in order to save ourselves and not just hoping for the best. Thank You.

We have a major answer to this issue in the form of seaweed -Asparagopsis- can be fed to cows to reduce emissions by over 80%. ALGAE (kelp and microalgae) inside a circular economy and connecting the food, water, energy nexus's infrastructure... reuse water, put all organic waste into anaerobic digesters, utilize the methane in a capture system to power greenhouses and produce two kinds of fertilizers that make feed supplement for pigs and cows that makes them less susceptible to disease and make the meat better. Rifkin is absolutely right, but we have solutions...like using the ocean to farm in clean sustainable ways.

I'm in Canada and I can't believe we're not doing this plan! Maybe I should start in my community or in my sons school!!! I think this is a great idea for a school project! We can start there! YES!! And I can share it on all my platforms 😂

We as humans are being told, and everyone living on our planet should heed the warnings and take action. Nothing happens immediately, but global issues slowly take time, and reality is witnessed when it's almost too late.😢

Great interview and this should be available for everyone to see other than on YouTube. These kind of videos would be so educational to be shown in the schools. Children can be a good influence on their parents, let them teach their elder’s

I just watched the documentary, and I'm switching to veggie burgers asap for my kids and don't even like beef anyway, really! I'm lactose from over dairy consumption, I bet! My daughter is a vegetarian pretty well. But we love eggs! Should I buy a free run, at least?

The amount of water is absolutely makes me very sad and understand droughts a lot more clearly

Not only interconnected but interrelated. Science shows us we're not only related to each other but to the entire DNA based biosphere. 'Me' an illusion 'We' a reality

Agriculture also seems to be exempt from animal cruelty laws. No private person could treat an animal the way the food industry standard does without being reported, punished, and stopped by the community.

As an ovo lacto vegetarian I fully endorse eating real animal meat and find all the dystopian "plant-based" heavily processed food disgusting.

It doesn't help that the people pushing this garbage are the same monsters trying to get us to eat bugs. They also like to say things like "New normal".

Only Moral science is the solution. Anything less will cause consequences just as catastrophic.

I wonder how many people stop eating meat after watching this... people are not prepared to give up their burgers, bacon and hot-dogs!

I had this feeling when feeding my children as toddlers that I was forcing them to eat meat. I got too the point were it began to feel like I was trying to change evolution in a way?! Like if they didn't want it I should of provided and equal alternative. I wasn't educated enough on food. Yes biosphere compassion!! Equal eating on the planet as well! No more starvation

That's why China is moving a percentage of graduates to the country to work in agricultural! But plants and fruits. People on you tube make it sound like there's no other jobs but they're trying to change the future! I always look for a spin and I finally found this one!!!! Good for China for guiding the young back to growing!! Its needed there big time! Now if only north America would stop spitting propaganda around the world on this subject we'd be golden!! I'm Canadian I'll teach my kids! They don't like meat anyway. And if I show the the video with the puss filled pockets in the meat they'll never eat it again anyway 😂😂

Dear Mr Rifkin, you speak like a poet and that is what you are- a poet, not a scientist. Practically none of your statements actually stands up to scrutiny, from the role of atmospheric CO2 to the so-called 6th extinction. It is not true, and your grand energy plan you helped prepare for Germany has not fixed anything, only de-industrialised a great nation and displaced millions of citizens into energy poverty. You, Sir, are a climate hustler and a water melon: green on the outside, blood-red on the inside
