Stuart Scott makes an impassioned plea for Climate Action.
Stuart H. Scott was the original initiator of the Scientists Warning outreach programme that, in Europe, has ultimately resulted in the formation of Scientists Warning Europe and an equivalent group in USA.
Stuart is an American environmentalist and educator known for his creativity in communicating the urgency and severity of the impact of the current ‘growth’ economic system on climate, habitability of Earth, and society.
After earning a Masters of Science in Computer & Information Science, from the University of Florida
After seeing VP Al Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth, in 2006, he became deeply involved with Gore’s Climate Project.
Principally known for his visibility at UN-sponsored climate negotiations, or COPS and extensive video interviews. Stuart has attended ten of the last thirteen COP’s or Conference of Parties of the United Nations talks. In 2018, Stuart brought Greta Thunberg and her father, Svante Thunberg, to COP-24 in Poland, from which Greta’s unwaveringly clear message to world leaders was amplified and her position cemented as the preeminent spokesperson for youth and future generations.
He sees humanity’s dominant, relentless, money-motivated obsession with ‘making more money’ as directly leading to the climate crisis, since the stability and viability of the ecosphere is constantly degraded and undermined in the pursuit of ‘making money’ by people and the artificial ‘corporate persons’ that have been created and arguably favored by national governments.
His persistence and unwavering focus is on revealing the disastrous flaws in the current Neo-Classical economic system and promoting Ecological Economics (also known as Steady-State-Economics) as alternative models for a sustainable human economy. He prefers to work unfunded due to the ‘editorial bias’ and control that funding brings, either implicitly or explicitly.
Stuart has interviewed Noam Chomksy, Dr. Peter Wadhams, Dahr Jamail, as well as Greta and Svante Thunberg. Relying on volunteer help, he is known for his active use of media, having founded ClimateMatters.TV, ScientistsWarning.TV and most recently FacingFuture.TV.
In spite of his battle with cancer, Stuart continues to be driven by his passion for climate activism and ecological investigation.
