Climate Change at a Crossroads: David Rhynas at TEDxRideauCanal

Climate Change at a Crossroads. A lot has happened since the documentary movie An Inconvenient Truth and there are some compelling updates on the latest science and solutions. This talk considers a number of initiatives our society could readily undertake that make sense in their own right and would contribute to a more sustainable world.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
