It’s Time to Change Humanity’s “Hardware” and "Software" | Wilford Welch | TEDxUCIrvine

Fossil fuels and laissez-faire capitalism have generated the extraordinary economic growth and prosperity the world has enjoyed over the past seventy-five years. They are also generated unintended consequences, namely, global warming and climate change, that will lead to economic, social and political collapse later this century unless we make fundamental changes over this decade. Welch lays out the changes now called for by all of us, not only to get off fossil fuels but to transition to a better world. Wilford is a keynote speaker, global systems thinker, author, and futurist. He has been exploring the driving social, political, economic, and technological forces impacting the world for more than five decades over the course of five international careers. He is the author of two recent books, In Our Hands – A Handbook for Intergenerational Actions to Solve the Climate Crisis, and The Tactics of Hope – How Social Entrepreneurs are Changing our World. He has a BA from Yale University, a law degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and a PMD degree from the Harvard Business School. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
