Climate Change and Environmental Disaster. What’s Next? | Bulat Yessekin

“Scientific data is not yet at the center of political decisions. Science is only funded and taken into account when it aligns with the interests of authorities and business. So the role of science today is quite disheartening. What we need are independent scientific centers with independent funding. As for the major scientific issue in global climate programs, which is being talked about louder and louder, it’s the disproportionate focus on greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions are far from the only factor driving climate change. The focus on emissions and energy is mainly due to the business interests of those who fund climate conventions,” says Bulat Yessekin, a Kazakhstani ecologist and international expert in climate change, water resources and environmental protection.

It is our great honor to present this interview where you will find out:

🔹 What contributes to strong heating of the ocean?
🔹 What key climate changes have been observed in the past decades?
🔹 Which regions of the planet are most vulnerable to climate change?
🔹 What problems does science have, by eliminating which it would make a major leap forward?
🔹 Why aren’t governments taking the necessary measures to address climate issues?
🔹 What can we do locally and globally to overcome the climate crisis?
🔹 How can we establish a dialogue between science and society to ensure that people receive reliable information about climate change?
🔹 If there was unlimited funding, what research would Bulat Yessekin prioritize?

As our guest said, “Consider any technology and imagine what would happen if you replaced the entire business, say, of bottled water. Can you imagine what kind of money is circulating there? Or with municipal water, industrial water, and so on. It's not that simple. We need to make sure that people actually want these changes, and they want the technology. People need to create mechanisms for financing such programs directly and protecting them from those who do not want these changes.”

Climate is already turning our lives into a nightmare. It is time to look into the eyes of this new reality and strive to ensure that our common tomorrow is better than yesterday, and that all unique effective inventions and technologies are at the service of society. Today, it’s important to realize that the future depends on everyone’s choice!
