Dr. David Zaber, an environmental consultant specializing in sustainable natural resources and agricultural management, holds a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. His talk explores how human behavioral ecology reveals resource use conflicts. He emphasizes that evolved human perception often causes people to overlook relevant environmental problems, hindering consensus and solutions.

Zaber argues that bridging this "Perception Gap" is crucial for effective environmental activism and protection. With an M.S. from the University of Illinois and extensive experience at organizations like Defenders of Wildlife, he currently works to protect Great Lakes forests and wildlife. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

David Detzler, a degreed chemist and 45-year automotive veteran, offers an insider's view on climate change. He argues that carbon offsets are ineffective and that the only real solution is to end our addiction to fossil fuels. A National Merit Scholar, Detzler conducted research alongside doctoral students at age 20, identifying the dangers of 2-4-dichlorophenoxyacetic, later known as Agent Orange.

At Chrysler Automotive, Detzler served as a materials engineer and senior manager. He pioneered advancements in coatings, notably introducing environmentally safe powder coating to the American automotive market.

Today, Detzler continues to advocate for greener manufacturing methods and materials within the automotive industry. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

David Wallace-Wells observes that few Silicon Valley titans are addressing climate change, despite the opportunity to leave a significant legacy. He points to Bill Gates-funded negative emissions technology, which could enable current industrial activity without global warming.

This technology would cost $3 trillion annually to operate worldwide. While substantial, this figure is less than the $5 trillion spent each year on global fossil fuel subsidies.

Wallace-Wells, author of [The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming](https://amzn.to/2Of5N3y), shared these insights.
