Already the skies over Bey Jing have shifted back to the original thick soup deadly to any thing that isn't anaerobic. For humanity to explore the stars, there has to be a concerted effort to shift biology back to its original configuration, dependent on chemicals and heat only, since producing Light Emitting Diodes to tight tolerances and separately maintaining a fusion reactor whose heat boils a fluid that turns a turbine that spins a magnet with a coil creating electric power.... is too much akin to a Rube Goldberg setup. We HAVE to figure out a better way to turn heat into biomass in a reliable manner with minimal oversight, so there WON'T BE an oopsy moment when someone wakes up from a few centuries of deep cryosleep and find out that ALL plants on the starship have died a hundred years ago, and spinning up a whole new batch will take far longer than the starvation horizon.

It is important to point out that this lecture occurred in 2005 or 2006. In the intervening 18 years, the clear signs that we are already experiencing the early stages of the impacts of the changing global climate, are unmistakable. Not only that, the changes in climate are happening the way they have been predicted for decades, BUT, the truly disturbing problem is, it seems to be happening much faster than even the fastest models indicate. We are watching tipping points unfold in real time, before our eyes. We are, in fact, way AHEAD of schedule. Not only is it abundantly clear that the climate IS DEFINITELY changing, but also, it is doing so faster than predicted, and even that seems to be accelerating. It seems that not only were Freeman Dyson's opinions about climate change in general simply wrong, but the pace of change indicates that Dr. Dysons views were catastrophically wrong. Freeman Dyson may have been a super genius, but on this subject he was dead wrong.

his first heresy is hardly heretical... i thought everybody knew it (but maybe it's only everybody with their eyes open that do). [edit]: oh dear; his second example is indeed partly heretical, but it's also partly commonsense - it only depends which part you look at, because whilst it's clearly obvious that (Part1): if all the vegetation burned were regrown, the carbon released by burning would be consumed by the carbon absorbed during growing, but (Part 2): we aren't doing that! land is being cleared of vegetation, not being revegetated, so there IS a problem. [edit 2] re rural poverty - it was green technology (the agricultural revolution) that fostered the growth of cities! and just maybe, it could be grey technology (eg1 telecommunication instead of commuting; eg2 new sources of energy to make villages self-sufficient) that could make living in small communities (villages) more practicable than overcrowded polluted cities.

Great lecture and a brilliant lecturer indeed. I would like to point one thing. At the beginning he talks about the longevity of top countries and says that France was followed by Britain in this. I always found this comments unprecise and vague, because when I try to think at that myself I can't imagine a better way than to think that countries have their ebbs and flows. First of all does he mean that Britain was the top country in 19th century? France also was from the scientific point of view, indeed great mathematicians and physicists of the end of the century were french (not to mention the germans). So he probably refers to general wealth and economic conditions of a country and the efficiency of its rulers. Luckily intelligence is not involved in that :)

I think the popularity and novelty of what a civilization offers determines its rise and longevity at the top. Any imperial power needs a largely settled population to generate stabilizing wealth or it will become exhausted and bankrupted by policing its conquests. The view that the US is due to be supplanted, probably by China, seems terribly orthodox to me. It's not heretical as far as Communist Chinese are concerned that's for sure. The question is whether or not the Chinese state can offer some civilizational novelty which enough people across the world will accept. I don't think it can. It is ultimately an extremely staid and boring civilization - just look at the stiffs in their political rallies, and the self-adoration in their public spectacles. They're so vain and boring, and what they offer the people of the world is the role of worshippers and sycophants. Hardly a reason to exchange the cultural dynamism of the USA and Europe.

Africa in General is poor. There are a number of reasons for that of which the refusal to invest in electrifying Africa by richer countries is one of the main reasons. Aid is poured in and wheelbarrows full of money are transported to Africa which makes absolutely no difference. Africa's population in 1980 was 476,386,273, it is now 1,417,002,898 and rising at an alarming rate. The median age in Africa is 19.7years and it does not take much intelligence to figure out the consequences of increasing poverty is a given. A country without electricity is poor and cannot develop, it is that simple. In developed countries, Green and climate activists are trying to destroy everything that is associated with fossil fuels. As we can see momentarily it has huge consequences and especially Europe is on the brink of economic collapse. Russia is blamed which is deflecting the responsibility from the people actually causing the economic problems. The reason for all the idiocy today is the misunderstanding of fossil fuels and CO2. We do not electrify Africa because of that and therefore we are creating more poverty. Yes, I know people in Africa have some responsibility to bear...... but we are with our non-working solar panels and windmills are the biggest problem.

tl;dr he didn't really give any reasons to be a "climate skeptic" so don't act like you can internally celebrate that a "genius" agrees with your opinion that climate change is a hoax I of course support Dyson's willingness to give a talk on his ideas, especially ideas that he thinks are contrary to popular thought. However, I didn't find his justification for some of his "heresy" to actually justify his self labeling of heretic, especially on the climate points. (aka the specific points he made were not actually disagreeing with the majority of reasonable climate change believers). At the beginning, he proclaims that he is a heretic of popular climate views and that the dangers of global warming are very overblown. However, during the first half hour, all he really does is 1. give some reasoning as to justify a possible, very theoretical, and untested solution to reducing the amount of CO2 by managing land/plants such that plants take up all excess fossil fuel emissions, and 2. give some reasoning why we should _explore_ the idea that a warmer climate, such as the one 6000 years ago, is neutral or preferable to the one today. Both of these claims are really just a plea to explore more ideas and do more research, which is not really heresy at all to anyone that isn’t a strawman/extremist climate alarmist that is closed off to ideas. Nothing he has said so far has been reasoning to be a heretic to the idea that the planet is in serious trouble, only really a response to the closed off and weak arguments of naive extremists. He then distinguishes naturalist and humanist ethics. He constructs an extremist view of the naturalist where all fossil fuel-esque activities are inherently evil and that absolutely all genetic modification should never be performed. The issue is that 1. the view that burning fossil fuels is “evil” (more reasonably, just something that is bad for the world) can be purely derivative from the belief that burning fossil fuels is likely bad for humans/the planet and the characterization of “evil” is thus not at all unreasonable or even meaningful, and 2. it is easily coherent to hold the view (as many climate change believers do) that some genetic modification can be good and that in the future, it should be done with proper caution and by organizations with moral intentions (as opposed to purely profit motive). The big issue with the humanist is the lack of consideration of other species which is very likely not logically justifiable.

It's very well known that more CO2 helps create a more lush, green planet. The greenness of the planet has risen by 15% over the last ! That means the equivalent size of the of the USA has become greener. And this includes the drier places of the world. The Sahara has shrunk in this time too. The green psy-op is playing on guilt. We only need to look back at "climate-gate" emails where the scientists were told to adhere to the "warming" angle under Obama.

So a few of his heresies are , he is a global warming denialist, at least does not care that much about it preferring his human oriented value system regarding people and nature, thinks GMO is not a problem that should be stopped, and few more that are not really controversial like US will not be a world power at some point in the next hundred years. These sound reasonable and are ones I already had, although he clearly is a techno utopian optimist regarding green technology and poverty in the world. Solve poverty? Really? Green technology in the last 12 years since this talk and has been extensively tried in Germany Spain and more and in every case is double the cost of previously, despite huge subsidies. It is intermittent, so an area must have a backup system of fossil fuels just to be managed.

He should have just stuck to the science he knew best. This guy died but not before his optimistic/futuristic views on technology could be ridiculed. Honestly, any "academic" who actually extolls and places hope in "progess and technology" is a laughing stock as far as social, ethical, anthropological and economic theory.

"Science is organized unpredictability. What scientist do is to arrange things in an experiment to be as unpredictable as possible, then do the experiment to see what will happen. You might say that if something is predictable, it's not science." His clarity is sorely lacking among scientists today.

I disagree. Science is targetted unpredicatbality - where as much as possible is controlled and then one sees what the outcome is when as few input variables as possible are changed.
