TED: The new urgency of climate change | Al Gore

The video discusses the relationship between luck and justice, particularly in college admissions. It highlights the unfairness in the current system, where deserving students may not get accepted due to limited spots. The speaker proposes a lottery system for admissions to reduce pressure and acknowledge the role of luck. Personal anecdotes illustrate how luck has influenced the speaker's life. The video concludes with a call to recognize societal responsibilities and ensure fairness for all, referencing John Rawls' concept of the veil of ignorance.
