World leadership, including and particularly the US, needs a consensus. I will say no more on that topic. Great presentation!

You're right about statisticians being the answer. Could we get this done without the legislators?

This was such a riveting presentation. So many of us find our current situation frustrating. You, who have spent a career studying the effects, researching the solutions, disseminating critical information, must find maddening the inability to move quickly forward. We have what we need to remedy. The Q & A was helpful. I subscribed to Our World in Data. Well done!

That was an amazing mix of topics and examples. I especially loved the examples, they made things come alive. And your visuals were exquisite.

Love the "change is possible" message. We have the tools - something many people don't realize. The Paris example made me smile.

I also thought of ski jumping when they (I think a Swede and then the Swiss) introduced that V-style of jumping. They got marked down initially, but jumped much further so it didn't matter. Now it's what everybody does. We need pioneers.

I thought your speech was very natural with a lot of passion for the topic and you showcased your broad expertise and also a sense of humor. The depth you managed to go into without losing the audience - well done!

I wasn't going to watch the entire video but got hooked and it did not feel like an hour at all.

Thank you, Evelyne. It’s not often that I speak for a full hour and it asks for a different kind of structure to keep the listeners on board. I’m glad it worked out well.
