The world we want when we are 50 - Vanessa Nakate climate activist at The Norad Conference

The world we want when we are 50 - Vanessa Nakate (Ugandan climate justice activist) at The Norad Conference Human|Nature 2023.

Man and nature - how to survive together?

Are humans in the process of destroying our own basis for existence, or are we able to turn around and solve the climate and nature problems we have contributed to ourselves? This is the big question addressed at the Norad Conference Human|Nature 2023.

The paradoxes are many. We depend on nature. Yet we consume nature in a way that threatens our own future. And the rich consume the earth's resources at the expense of the poor. At the same time, it is the poor who pay the highest price for climate change. How are we going to finance the future in the shadow of wars, conflicts and pandemics?

With a stellar team of Norwegian and international experts, we shed light on these questions for you who are concerned with sustainable development, international cooperation and the fight against poverty. We can promise a day with unique and inspirational conversations and debates.

The Northern hemisphere is 33% greener than it was in 1900. Sea levels are rising at the same rate as they were in 1865. The hottest decade on record sine the ending of the "Little Ice Age", was the 1930s into the early 1940s. The earth cooled from from 1940 to 1979 by .3° C. There was no warming between 1998 and 2015, the Earth has not warmed since 2016. From February 2016 to February 2018, global average temperatures dropped by 0.56° C. The Earth was warmer, there was less sea ice, and the sea levels higher during the "Medieval Warm Period".

2022 Summer Arctic sea extent was greater and the ice thicker, than it was in 2008. Antarctica has been gaining 112 billion tons of ice a year since 1992. Yet according to NASA 2022 was the sixth hottest year on record. There is no mass extinction event occurring due to climate change, the Polar Bear population is five times what it was in 1960, and at its highest ever recorded.

In 2019 more children died from problems associated with obesity, than from malnutrition or starvation. In 2020 the United States produced 25% more food than it needed or could export. All major crop yields have increased three fold since the 1940s, due in no small part to increased CO2 in the atmosphere.

CO2 is a greenhouse gas, however it has never been proven that concentrations of CO2 will cause warming, in fact we know from ice cores that CO2 concentration lags behind periods of rapid warming.

The world population has exploded, however it was expected to top out at nine billion, and then begin decreasing. The reason being that as developing nations become more prosperous, they tend to have less children. By depriving developing nations access to cheap fuel, they are forced to burn wood and dung to cook, light and heat their homes, causing massive health problems, deforestation, and leading to a mass extinction event as they kill local wild life to sustain themselves with protein. Bottom there is no "Climate Crisis"

Why do they want to harm developing nations?
