Somerhalder:
ALL RIGHT.

SCRIPT? CHECK.

STIMULANT? CHECK.

I PLAY A VAMPIRE IN A TV SHOW
THAT SHOOTS HERE IN ATLANTA,

AND I WAS BORN IN LOUISIANA,

SO THE SOUTH HAS A BIG PLACE
IN MY HEART.

THE GULF COAST, WHERE I GREW UP,

IS SEEING MASSIVE CHANGES
BECAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING.

BUT IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY,

CLIMATE CHANGE
IS BARELY ON THE RADAR,

AND MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE ONE OF
THE MOST POWERFUL GROUPS HERE --

EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS --
ISN'T ON BOARD.

BUT PEOPLE LIKE ANNA JANE JOYNER
ARE TRYING TO CHANGE THAT.

ANNA JANE IS PART OF A GROWING
MOVEMENT CALLED "CREATION CARE."

IT'S LED BY YOUNG EVANGELICALS

WHO BELIEVE THAT GOD
CREATED THE PLANET,

BUT IT'S UP TO US TO PROTECT IT.

WE AREN'T THE OWNERS
OF THIS WORLD.

WE ARE TENANTS.
WE ARE STEWARDS.

AND SO IF YOU BELIEVE
THAT GOD CREATED THIS PLANET,

THEN YOU SHOULD
TAKE CARE OF IT.

AND FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS,
MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S SECURED.

YEAH. EXACTLY.

SO, IT'S THIS
KIND OF GROWING MOVEMENT

WITHIN CHRISTIANITY.

[ INDISTINCT SINGING ]

Somerhalder:
ANNA JANE IS ON A MISSION

TO RALLY OTHER EVANGELICALS
TO THE CAUSE,

INCLUDING MEGACHURCHES
LIKE THIS ONE.

[ SINGING CONTINUES ]

[ APPLAUSE ]

AND SHE'S FOUND THAT THE KEY
TO WINNING OVER A CONGREGATION

IS OFTEN THE PASTOR.

IT'S WITH THE HEART

MAN BELIEVES THAT IT RESULTS
IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.

NOT JUST THE HEAD,
BUT WITH THE HEART.

IT'S WHO WE ARE.

Somerhalder:
RICK JOYNER IS THE HEAD
OF MorningStar MINISTRIES,

ONE OF THE MOST
SOCIALLY CONSERVATIVE

CHURCHES IN THE STATE.

HE'S A COMPLETE SKEPTIC
WHEN IT COMES TO CLIMATE CHANGE.

FOR ANNA JANE,
GETTING HIM TO CHANGE HIS MIND

WILL BE A UNIQUE CHALLENGE,

BECAUSE HE ALSO HAPPENS
TO BE HER FATHER.

ISN'T THAT
AN ENCOURAGING THOUGHT?

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE.

HI. SORRY.

I'VE SPENT A LOT OF MY TIME

AS A CORRESPONDENT
FOR "60 MINUTES"

INVESTIGATING CORPORATE SCANDALS

OR CHASING DOWN
THE LATEST POLITICAL SCOOP.

LESLEY STAHL.

BUT IN THE FAST-PACED WORLD
OF TV NEWS,

SOMETHING LIKE CLIMATE CHANGE

THAT HAPPENS OVER DECADES
RATHER THAN HOURS,

CAN TAKE A BACK SEAT.

BUT WE'RE NOW BEING TOLD

THAT WHAT WE USED TO THINK
WAS SO FAR OFF

MAY ACTUALLY
BE IN THE HERE AND NOW.

AND THAT MAKES ME WONDER

WHAT THE WORLD WILL BE LIKE
FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN.

I'VE HEARD PLENTY ABOUT MELTING
GLACIERS AND RISING SEAS,

BUT I'M QUICKLY LEARNING

THAT I DON'T KNOW
THE HALF OF IT.

THE SCIENTISTS HERE
ARE TELLING ME

LOTS OF THINGS THAT SCARE ME.

THANKS.

AND IT TURNS OUT THAT ONE
OF THE SCARIEST THINGS OF ALL

IS WHAT'S UNDERNEATH
ALL THE MELTING ICE.

Woman: THIS REPORT CONSTITUTES
AN ALARM-CLOCK MOMENT

FOR THE WORLD,

BECAUSE THIS REPORT
WILL TELL US, AGAIN,

THAT EVERYTHING WE THOUGHT
WE KNEW ON CLIMATE CHANGE

HAS ACTUALLY BEEN
UNDERESTIMATED,

THAT THE EFFECTS OF
CLIMATE CHANGE WILL BE UPON US

FASTER AND IN A MORE INTENSE
FASHION THAN WE HAD THOUGHT.

President H.W. Bush: WE ALL KNOW
THAT HUMAN ACTIVITIES

ARE CHANGING THE ATMOSPHERE

IN UNEXPECTED
AND IN UNPRECEDENTED WAYS.

Man: ...THAT THE GREENHOUSE
EFFECT HAS BEEN DETECTED,

AND IT IS CHANGING
OUR CLIMATE NOW.

Man #2: THE ATMOSPHERE AND OCEAN
HAVE WARMED.

THE AMOUNT OF SNOW AND ICE
HAVE DIMINISHED.

SEA LEVEL HAS RISEN,

AND THE CONCENTRATIONS
OF GREENHOUSE GASES HAVE...

Schwarzenegger:
THERE IS NO MORE FIRE SEASON.

WE HAVE WILDFIRES
ALL YEAR ROUND.

Man #3: CLIMATE CHANGE,
EXTREME WEATHER...

AND OUR VULNERABILITY TO IT.

Man #5:
...WHERE 12 YEARS OF DROUGHT HAS
LEFT THE LANDSCAPE BONE-DRY.

Man #6: WE GOT ANY PATRIOTS
IN THE CROWD?!

Woman #2: A NEW SCIENTIFIC
REPORT HAS DETERMINED

THE LAST DECADE WAS THE WARMEST
ON RECORD.

Man #7:
OUR WORLD IS CHANGING FASTER

AND MORE DRAMATICALLY
THAN EVER BEFORE.

[ Ringing ]

Somerhalder:
ANNA JANE JOYNER

IS PART OF A NEW GENERATION
OF EVANGELICALS

WHO ARE TRYING TO CHANGE
THE CLIMATE DEBATE.

WOMAN: Thanks for calling
King of Glory...

SHE SEES NO CONFLICT
BETWEEN HER FAITH

AND THE SCIENCE
OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

...COMING TOGETHER TO HELP
PROTECT GOD'S CREATION.

IN FACT, SHE THINKS CHURCHES

HAVE A MORAL RESPONSIBILITY
TO TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.

WHY WOULD YOU SAY EVANGELICALS,
PARTICULARLY IN THIS COUNTRY,

HAVE BEEN SO SKEPTICAL
ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE?

WELL, I THINK
THERE'S A GENERAL SKEPTICISM

AROUND SCIENCE OFTEN.

YOU KNOW, MOST EVANGELICALS,
OR MANY EVANGELICALS,

DON'T BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION.

FOR ME,
IT'S MORE OF A PERSONAL --

LIKE, HERE IS THIS COMMUNITY
THAT RAISED ME,

AND I WANT TO BELIEVE

THAT THEY CAN BE ON THE RIGHT
SIDE OF HISTORY ON THIS ONE.

YOU KNOW, EVANGELICALS
HAVE THE MOST POLITICAL POWER.

THEY'RE HUGE,
A HUGE POLITICAL BASE.
HUGE.

SO LET'S GO
FOR THE EVANGELICALS,

AND ONCE WE CAN MOBILIZE THEM,
THEN IT'S THIS HUGE SHIFT.

AND SHE WANTS TO MOBILIZE THEM
FOR A SPECIFIC CAUSE.

ANNA JANE IS PART
OF A MAJOR EFFORT

BY THE SIERRA CLUB CALLED
BEYOND COAL,

TO SHUT DOWN THE COAL PLANT
HERE IN ASHEVILLE,

ALONG WITH HUNDREDS OF OTHERS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

TO FIND OUT,
I MEET WITH MARY ANNE HITT,

THE NATIONAL DIRECTOR
OF THE CAMPAIGN.

SHE TELLS ME THAT COAL
IS THE BIGGEST SOURCE

OF CO2 EMISSIONS ON THE PLANET,

INCLUDING 30% OF THE EMISSIONS
IN THE U.S. ALONE.

SO, THE AMOUNT OF CARBON
COMING OUT OF THIS THING

IS EQUIVALENT TO ABOUT --
WHAT IS IT?

A HALF A MILLION CARS
EVERY YEAR.

Somerhalder: EXPLAIN,
IF YOU WILL, YOUR PROGRESS,

COMING FROM THE BEGINNING
TO NOW AND TO THE END GOAL.

THERE ARE ABOUT 500 COAL PLANTS
IN THE COUNTRY.

WE HAVE 1 RETIREMENT
OF 149 COAL PLANTS

JUST SINCE 2010.

AND OUR GOAL, BY 2015,
IN FIVE YEARS, IS --

WE WANT TO WIN THE RETIREMENT

OF A THIRD OF THE COAL PLANTS
IN AMERICA.

AND WE ARE
GOING TO GET THERE.

SO, THE ONE THING
I KEEP HEARING

IS THAT SWITCHING OVER
TO RENEWABLES --

AREN'T THESE ELECTRIC BILLS
GONNA SKYROCKET?

NEW, CLEAN ENERGY
THAT'S COMING ONLINE

IS ACTUALLY,
IN SOME PLACES,

CHEAPER THAN EXISTING
COAL PLANTS, LIKE THIS ONE.

WHERE WOULD THAT BE?
MONTANA.

RECENTLY, A NEW WIND FARM
CAME ONLINE,

AND IT IS CHEAPER
THAN THE EXISTING COAL PLANT --

THE COLSTRIP PLANT
IN MONTANA.

SO, WE ARE
IN A WHOLE NEW ERA

IN HOW WE MAKE ENERGY
IN AMERICA.

THE PATH
TO A CLEAN-ENERGY FUTURE...

BEYOND COAL
IS ONE OF THE MOST AMBITIOUS

AND SUCCESSFUL EFFORTS OUT THERE

TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING
ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE.

BUT IN SOME PLACES IN THE SOUTH,
THEY'RE MEETING RESISTANCE,

AND THAT'S WHERE
ANNA JANE COMES IN.

MARY ANNE HAS ASKED HER

TO LINE UP SUPPORT
FROM LOCAL PASTORS.

YOU KNOW, WE ALREADY HAVE

SEVERAL PASTORS IN TOWN
WHO HAVE SIGNED ON,

AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN REALLY BEGUN

TO GET IT OUT THERE
TO OUR DIFFERENT FAITH LEADERS.

SO I'M REALLY EXCITED THERE.

WE'RE AT THE TABLE.

Hitt: THAT'S GREAT WORK.
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

YOU KNOW,
THE SCIENCE IS IMPORTANT

AND THE GRAPHS
AND THE CHARTS ARE IMPORTANT,

BUT IF WE LEAVE OUT
THE MORAL ELEMENT,

WE MISS THE OPPORTUNITY
TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE,

AND I THINK
THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS

THAT WE NEED TO DO MOST
WHEN IT COMES TO CLIMATE CHANGE.

Somerhalder:
ANNA JANE SPENDS HER DAYS

MAKING THE ROUNDS
AT LOCAL CHURCHES,

TRYING TO GET
EVEN MORE CHRISTIANS ON BOARD

FOR AN UPCOMING
BEYOND COAL RALLY.

[ CAR DOOR CLOSES ]

Anna Jane:
IT'S SOMETHING I THINK
THAT THE FAITH COMMUNITY,

WERE THEY TO GET MOBILIZED
AROUND THIS ISSUE,

COULD BRING A REALLY
PROPHETIC VOICE TO YOU.

I CAME ACROSS A WEALTH
OF INFORMATION

ABOUT HOW CHRISTIANS

ARE NOT ONLY CALLED
TO CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT,

BUT INSTRUCTED
TO STEWARD THE LAND.

Somerhalder:
IN THE PROCESS,

SHE CAN'T HELP
BUT THINK OF HER FATHER.

MY DAD COULD TELL YOU
THE VERSE.

I CAN'T.

BUT IT SAYS,

"GOD WILL DESTROY
THOSE WHO DESTROY THE EARTH."

AND JUST LIKE HER FATHER,

SOME PASTORS
SEEM IMPOSSIBLE TO CONVINCE.

YOU SEEM TO THINK THAT
I'M GOING DOWN A WRONG PATH.

YOU THINK
I'M GOING DOWN A WRONG PATH.
SURE.

LET'S UNDERSTAND --

YOU CAME IN HERE WITH
THE ASSUMPTION THAT I'M WRONG,

THAT I'M AN OLD GUY WHO DOESN'T
KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT,

AND THAT I'M WRONG.

I THINK YOU'RE WRONG.

I GET YOUR WORLD VIEW
SHOVED DOWN MY THROAT

24 HOURS A DAY.

VERY FEW CHRISTIANS REALLY
BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION.

WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN

IS A DOCTRINE
OF THE RESURRECTION.

Somerhalder: ANNA JANE
HAS BEEN FIGHTING WITH HER DAD

ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE FOR YEARS,

AND FINALLY WINNING HIM OVER

WOULD MEAN
A LOT TO HER PERSONALLY.

BUT IT WOULD ALSO BE ONE
OF THE BIGGEST THINGS

SHE COULD DO FOR THE CAUSE.

THAT'S BECAUSE RICK JOYNER
ISN'T JUST ANY PASTOR.

HE'S THE HEAD
OF AN EVANGELICAL EMPIRE.

HIS 50-ACRE COMPOUND

WAS PREVIOUSLY OWNED
BY JIM AND TAMMY FAYE BAKKER...

* THIS IS YOUR HERITAGE

...WHOSE TV SHOW,
"THE PTL CLUB,"

ONCE HAD AN AUDIENCE
OF OVER 600,000.

BUT THE BIBLE SAYS,

"GREATER IS HE
THAT'S IN YOU

THAN HE
THAT'S IN THE WORLD.

AND THE DEVIL...

NOW RICK HAS TURNED IT
INTO THE HEADQUARTERS

OF A GLOBAL MINISTRY

WITH 200 CHURCHES
IN 40 COUNTRIES.

HOW MANY OF THESE
HAVE YOU WRITTEN?

Rick: OVER 50.

THIS ONE,
I'VE GOT A MOVIE --

WELL,
I HAD A MOVIE DEAL ON IT.

THIS IS AMAZING.

I MEAN, THIS IS LIKE A --
IT'S LIKE A WHOLE CITY IN HERE.

Rick: YEAH.

WE HAVE A SCHOOL HERE --
MorningStar UNIVERSITY.

AND WE HAVE, YOU KNOW,
OTHER CHURCHES AND...

POLITICALLY,

RICK IS ABOUT AS FAR
TO THE RIGHT AS THEY COME

ON A RANGE OF ISSUES.

Man:
PROPHETIC PERSPECTIVES

ON CURRENT EVENTS
WITH RICK JOYNER.

I'M LEANING TOWARDS BELIEVING
THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN.

IT WASN'T STOLEN FROM ROMNEY.

IT WAS STOLEN
FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

THE SYSTEM IS SO BROKEN,
SO UNDERMINED RIGHT NOW --

THE WHOLE SYSTEM --

I BELIEVE OUR ONLY HOPE

IS A MILITARY TAKEOVER,
MARTIAL LAW.

Somerhalder:
SO FAR, ANNA JANE HASN'T BEEN
ABLE TO GET HER DAD TO BUDGE.

BUT NOW, SHE'S PLANNING
TO CALL IN SOME HELP.

SO, WE ARE LEAVING FROM HERE,
UUMMANNAQ.

MM-HMM.

Stahl: I CAME TO GREENLAND TO
MEET GLACIOLOGIST MARCO TEDESCO.

WHEN IT COMES TO THE EFFECT

CLIMATE CHANGE
IS HAVING ON THE ARCTIC,

HE SAYS, "WHAT MOST PEOPLE KNOW
IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG,

"AND THE ONLY WAY TO REALLY
APPRECIATE WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE

IS TO SEE IT."

THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF MELTING
NOW GOING ON HERE.

IT'S REALLY
UP TO THE PILOT

TO DECIDE THE SAFETY LEVEL
OF OUR LANDING.

MM-HMM.

WE MIGHT WANT TO BE VERY CAREFUL
WHEN WE WALK AROUND.

WE D WANT TO BE VERY CAREFUL
WHEN WE WALK AROUND.

ALSO BECAUSE ON THE ICE,

YOU KNOW, ANY LITTLE PROBLEM
CAN BECOME VERY BIG.

Stahl: I'M SURPRISED
BY HOW BIG GREENLAND IS --

MORE THAN THREE TIMES
THE SIZE OF TEXAS.

MARCO TELLS ME THAT ABOUT 80%
OF IT IS COVERED IN ICE.

MARCO IS ONE
OF A HANDFUL OF SCIENTISTS

WHO SPEND WEEKS EVERY YEAR
LIVING ON THE ICE,

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW FAST IT'S DISAPPEARING.

THE SETTING IS STUNNING,

AND THE GLACIER IS FAR BIGGER
THAN I EVER IMAGINED.

YOU CAN SEE THIS WALL OF ICE
ALL BROKEN DOWN.

THE GLACIERS --
THEY LOSE MASS BY MELTING,

SO AS THERE'S
MORE AND MORE WATER PRODUCED,

IT GOES THROUGH THE ICE,
AND IT BREAKS THE ICE.

YOU HAVE ALL THE WATER

INTO THESE MULTIPLE MILLIONS
OF CRACKS YOU SEE THERE.

THE CRACKS ARE GETTING BIGGER
AND BIGGER AND BIGGER.

AND THEN THESE BLOCKS
ARE PRODUCED,

AND THEY FLOW
TO THE OCEAN.

AND THESE
ARE VERY POWERFUL EVENTS.

BUT JUST LOOKING
DOESN'T GIVE YOU

THE FULL EXPERIENCE
OF WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED
TO BE LISTENING FOR?

WELL,
YOU WILL LISTEN

WHEN A GLACIER
IS PRODUCING THESE ICEBERGS.

IT REALLY HAS THIS DEEP,
LOUD, LOW-TONE SOUND.

LIKE A RUMBLE?
LIKE A RUMBLE.

IT'S LIKE ICEQUAKES,
AS WE CALL THEM.

ICEQUAKES?

YEAH,
THERE ARE ICEQUAKES.

SO, IF WE JUST STAND HERE,
WE'LL ACTUALLY HEAR SOMETHING.

WE WILL.

[ CRACKING, RUMBLING ]

IT'S RIGHT
ON THE OTHER SIDE.

OH, MY GOD.
THAT WAS HUGE.

THERE'S SOMETHING BIG GOING ON
ON THE OTHER SIDE.

[ CRACKING, RUMBLING CONTINUES ]

[ CHUCKLES ]

AND THEN MARCO TELLS ME

WHY THESE ICEQUAKES
SCARE HIM SO MUCH.

GREENLAND IS MELTING AT A PACE
THAT IS HARD TO FATHOM --

5 TIMES FASTER
THAN IT WAS JUST 20 YEARS AGO.

AND IN JUST ONE YEAR -- 2012 --
THE ICE THAT MELTED IN GREENLAND

WAS EQUIVALENT TO NIAGARA FALLS

RUNNING INTO THE OCEAN
FOR FIVE STRAIGHT YEARS,

LEADING TO MORE AND MORE
SEA-LEVEL RISE.

BUT IT'S NOT
JUST THESE GIANT CHUNKS OF ICE

BREAKING OFF GLACIERS
THAT CONCERN MARCO.

THERE'S ANOTHER CHANGE HERE
THAT'S EVEN MORE ALARMING.

[ BIRDS CHIRPING ]

Anna Jane:
I GREW UP IN THIS CHURCH.

MY DAD STARTED IT

WHEN I WAS AROUND --
I DON'T KNOW -- 6, 7, MAYBE.

THEY STARTED IT
OUT OF THEIR HOME,

AND IT QUICKLY GREW.

I PROMISE TO HONOR GOD, NATURE,
AND OUR FAMILIES.

THE HIGHEST PURPOSE OF MAN
IS TO LOVE GOD ABOVE ALL THINGS

AND THEN TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

[ APPLAUSE ]

Somerhalder: BUT ANNA JANE FOUND
HER OWN PURPOSE IN COLLEGE.

SHE WAS AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF NORTH CAROLINA

WHEN SHE STARTED LEARNING ABOUT
THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE

AND DECIDED TO MAJOR
IN ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNICATIONS.

AND I JUST CAME OUT
REALLY, LIKE, FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION,

ESSENTIALLY TOOK ON THIS WHOLE
NEW LIFE, IDENTITY, AND ROLE.

AND IT WAS
VERY NOT COMFORTABLE

OR FAMILIAR TO THE
EVANGELICAL-CHRISTIAN WORLD.

RIGHT.
AND SO IT CREATED A LOT OF
TENSION BETWEEN ME AND MY DAD.

HE ACTUALLY DID END UP

KIND OF IN THE MIDST
OF THESE BIG ARGUMENTS,

CUTTING OFF MY TUITION
FOR THAT SEMESTER.

SO YOU'RE DONE.
YEAH.

WELL, I WAS HAVING
A MORAL STRUGGLE,

FEELING LIKE
I'M INVESTING

IN HAVING MY DAUGHTER'S MIND
CORRUPTED, YOU KNOW?

AND THAT'S THE WAY
I FELT WHAT WAS HAPPENING,

BECAUSE IT WAS --

FROM THE UNIVERSITY,
YOU MEAN.
YEAH.

I THINK, "I CAN'T PAY TO HAVE
THIS DONE TO MY DAUGHTER."

HEY, DADDY.

Rick: HEY.
YOU HUNGRY?

Somerhalder: AFTER NOT SPEAKING
FOR SIX MONTHS,

ANNA JANE AND HER FATHER
RECONCILED.

LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU.

Somerhalder:
BUT THEY NEVER

REALLY SETTLED
THEIR CLIMATE DEBATE.

Rick:
I UNDERSTAND THE SCIENCE,

AND I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN
CONVINCED BY THE SCIENCE.

I'M OPEN TO IT.

I'M NOT TOTALLY UNCONVINCED,
EITHER,

BUT I SEE, YOU KNOW,
SOME THINGS THAT DON'T ADD UP

AND SOME THINGS THAT SEEM,
TO ME, TO BE QUITE EXAGGERATED.

ALL RIGHT.

BUT SINCE HER DAD
WON'T LISTEN TO HER,

ANNA JANE IS DETERMINED

TO FIND SOMEONE
THAT RICK WILL LISTEN TO,

SOMEONE WHO SHARES HIS RELIGIOUS
AND POLITICAL VIEWS,

BUT WHO ALSO ACCEPTS
THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL.

BOB INGLIS, A FORMER REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSMAN FROM SOUTH CAROLINA,

REPRESENTED ONE OF THE NATION'S
MOST CONSERVATIVE DISTRICTS

FOR SIX TERMS.

ONCE A CLIMATE-CHANGE SKEPTIC,

INGLIS NOW MAKES IT HIS MISSION

TO TEACH FELLOW REPUBLICANS
AND FELLOW CHRISTIANS...

HELLO.
HEY.

...ABOUT THE DANGERS
OF HUMAN-CAUSED GLOBAL WARMING.

Inglis: FROM THE PERSPECTIVE
OF PEOPLE OF FAITH,

THERE IS A CONTEST HERE --
RIGHT? --

BETWEEN FAITH AND SCIENCE.

MY VIEW IS THAT GOD WANTS US
TO DISCOVER

THE WAY THAT HE CREATED.

HE WANTS US TO DISCOVER
THE INTRICACIES.

HE SAYS, "COME ON,
I'LL SHOW YOU."

BUT I UNDERSTAND SOME PEOPLE
OF FAITH DON'T THINK THAT.

THEY THINK, "NO, NO.

THAT'S TO INVADE THE PROVINCE
OF GOD TO GO THERE."

AND SO, WITH CLIMATE CHANGE,
WHAT THEY THINK --

WHAT SOME PEOPLE THINK

IS THAT IT'S ARROGANT
OF HUMANKIND

TO SAY THAT WE CAN AFFECT
THE LONGEVITY OF THE EARTH...

OKAY.

...BECAUSE TO DO SO IS TO INVADE
THE PROVINCE OF GOD.

GETTING TO THIS SEAT RIGHT NOW
AROUND THIS TABLE,

WHERE ARE YOU
ON CLIMATE CHANGE?

I MEAN,
I'M REALLY NOT TRYING

TO PROVE CLIMATE CHANGE
OR DISPROVE IT.

RIGHT.
I WANT TO GO AT IT.

I WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH.

HOW DO YOU FIND
WHAT THE TRUTH IS

IF YOU CAN, ON THE WEB,

FIND A SERIES OF THINGS
THAT SUPPORT DOUBT

AND, IN FACT,
INCREASE DOUBT

OR YOU CAN GO
A DIFFERENT SERIES OF STEPS

AND FIND INCREASING RELIANCE
ON THE SCIENCE?

I TRY TO READ BOTH SIDES
WHENEVER.

I TRY TO READ
THE PROS AND THE CONS.

THE ONES THAT WERE PRO,

THE STUDIES WERE, I THOUGHT,
REALLY SUPERFICIAL.

I THOUGHT, "WHAT DO THEY THINK?
WE'RE IDIOTS?"

BOB INGLIS HAS HAD SOME SUCCESS

BRINGING OTHER CONSERVATIVES
AROUND ON CLIMATE CHANGE.

BUT I'M NOT SO SURE
IT'S WORKING WITH PASTOR RICK.

HOW IS IT
WATCHING YOUR DAUGHTER,

WHO'S ULTIMATELY DEVOTED
HER LIFE TO THIS --

I MEAN,
HOW DOES THAT IMPACT YOU?

WELL, IT HAS
AN EMOTIONAL IMPACT, NO DOUBT.

I WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE
FOR HER SAKE.

I'M DOING THIS
FOR HER SAKE.

YOU KNOW, BUT I STILL HAVE
TO HAVE A DEVOTION TO TRUTH

OR I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING
FOR HER SAKE.

I GUESS I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED
THAT IT'S GONNA TAKE

MORE THAN ONE CONVERSATION
WITH A FELLOW CHRISTIAN

TO CHANGE RICK'S MIND,

BUT IT FEELS LIKE A START.

AND NOW,
ANNA JANE HAS ANOTHER IDEA.

MAYBE IT WOULD HELP
IF HER DAD COULD SEE

THE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING
WITH HIS OWN EYES.

SO SHE'S TAKING HIM
TO THE GULF COAST,

WHERE AN ENTIRE WAY OF LIFE
IS THREATENED,

PARTLY BECAUSE
OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

Rick: I LOVE THE GULF.

HAVING SPENT
SO MANY SUMMERS DOWN THERE,

TO ME, IT'S LIKE ANOTHER HOME.

Somerhalder: FOR ANNA JANE,
THE TRIP HAS TO BE A SUCCESS.

THE STAKES COULDN'T BE HIGHER.

Anna Jane:
I'M AN ENVIRONMENTAL ADVOCATE.

I FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE.

I THINK IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
ISSUE OF OUR TIME.

THIS IS MY JOB.

IF I CAN'T CONVINCE MY DAD
THAT THAT'S THE CASE,

THEN THAT'S
A VERY PERSONAL FAILURE.

Stahl: WOW!
Tedesco: WELCOME.

THIS IS A LAKE?

YEAH.
THIS IS A LAKE.

I CAN'T GET OVER IT.

YOU CAN SEE
WE ARE REALLY IN A BASIN,

AND ALL THE WATER STARTS
COLLECTING HERE.

AND YOU CAN SEE, REALLY,
THESE CRACKS HERE.

YOU MEAN UNDERNEATH?

YOU CAN SEE DEFINITELY.

WHAT YOU'RE SEEING

IS THAT THE WATER HAS BEEN
FLUSHING AWAY THE SNOW.

THE NUMBER OF LAKES
IS ACTUALLY INCREASING.

SO, THE MORE LAKES

MEANS
THE MORE BLUE MATERIAL,

AND THE DARKER
THE ICE SHEET BECOMES,

YOU REALLY CHANGE THE WAY
THE SUN IS DRIVING THE CLIMATE.

THE GLACIER
IS VERY BRIGHT.

ICE IS VERY BRIGHT.

WHEN YOU REPLACE
A BRIGHT SURFACE LIKE THIS

WITH A DARK SURFACE
LIKE THAT,

IT'S LIKE WEARING
A BLACK SHIRT

VERSUS WEARING
A WHITE SHIRT.

MM-HMM.
IT WARMS UP FASTER.

Stahl: ONCE WE'RE BACK
IN THE HELICOPTER,

I SEE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS
OF THESE LAKES.

I'M WITNESSING A VICIOUS CYCLE.

THE LAKES CAUSE MORE WARMING,

WHICH LEADS TO MORE LAKES
AND EVEN MORE WARMING.

AND IT'S NOT JUST GLACIERS
ON LAND THAT ARE MELTING.

SINCE 1980, AN ASTONISHING 40%

OF THE SUMMER SEA ICE
IN THE ARCTIC

HAS DISAPPEARED
AND BEEN REPLACED BY DARK OCEAN.

OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS,

ALL THESE NEW DARK SURFACES
HAVE CAUSED MORE WARMING

THAN THE CARBON-DIOXIDE
EMISSIONS

OF ALL THE CARS
ON THE ENTIRE PLANET.

AND, REMEMBER,
THIS MELTING IS BEING DRIVEN

BY THE COAL, OIL,
AND GAS WE'VE ALREADY BURNED.

BUT, OF COURSE,
WE'RE BURNING MORE ALL THE TIME.

BACK IN NEW YORK,
I LEARN OF A NEW REPORT

ISSUED BY THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL
PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE.

FOR THE FIRST TIME,

THIS GROUP OF TOP CLIMATE
SCIENTISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

IS DECLARING AN UPPER LIMIT

ON THE AMOUNT OF FOSSIL FUELS
WE CAN BURN

WITHOUT COURTING A CATASTROPHE.

DR. HEIDI CULLEN IS ONE
OF THE AUTHORS OF THE REPORT.

NOW, IN THIS NEW REPORT,

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE MOST
IMPORTANT NEW STATEMENT IS?

YEAH, I WOULD SAY

THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT
NEW STATEMENT IN THIS REPORT

WAS THE REDLINE THAT SCIENTISTS
DREW IN THE SAND.

BASICALLY, WE CAN'T TOUCH
MORE THAN 30% OF OUR RESERVES,

SO WE ARE GONNA HAVE TO LEAVE
SOME OIL AND GAS ON THE TABLE

IF WE ARE REALLY COMMITTED
TO PRESERVING, YOU KNOW,

THE VITAL FUNCTIONS
OF OUR PLANET.

SO, IN THE SAME WAY
THAT CIGARETTE SMOKING

RAISES YOUR RISK
FOR LUNG CANCER,

BURNING FOSSIL FUELS
RAISES THE RISK

OF HARMING THE IMPORTANT
ORGANS OF OUR PLANET --

OUR OCEAN, OUR ATMOSPHERE,
OUR ICE SHEETS.

HEIDI TELLS ME

IF WE WERE TO BURN ALL OUR
KNOWN RESERVES OF FOSSIL FUELS,

HUMANS WOULD FIND LARGE PARTS OF
THE PLANET UNLIVABLE OUTDOORS.

SO, CLEARLY, WE HAVE TO STOP
FAR SHORT OF THAT.

SHE SAYS IT'S ALL A QUESTION OF
HOW MUCH RISK WE WANT TO TAKE.

AND SCIENTISTS
AROUND THE WORLD AGREE

THAT IF WE BURN MORE
THAN 30% OF OUR KNOWN RESERVES,

THE RISK BECOMES UNACCEPTABLE.

IF WE DON'T
DO ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY,

WE'RE GONNA CROSS THAT MARK
BY 2040.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
MORE EXTREME-WEATHER EVENTS,

MORE FLOODING, DROUGHTS,
HEAT WAVES,

RISING SEA LEVELS,

ALL OF THESE THINGS
THAT JUST REALLY UP OUR RISK.

2040.

2040.

I'LL STILL BE HERE,
HOPEFULLY.

[ LAUGHS ]
I MIGHT NOT,
BUT MY CHILDREN WILL BE.

MY GRANDCHILDREN WILL BE.

WE'VE HEARD THESE CLARION CALLS
FOR A LONG TIME, ACTUALLY.

NOW YOU AND I MIGHT BELIEVE IT,
BUT GO OUT IN THE STREET...

YOU KNOW,
THE JOB OF THE SCIENTIST

IS REALLY TO, YOU KNOW,
HOLD UP A DANGER SIGN

AND SAY, "LOOK,
BURNING FOSSIL FUELS --

"WHILE THERE'S MANY
GREAT THINGS ABOUT IT,

IT HAS THESE UNFORTUNATE,
LONG-TERM RISKS."

AS SCIENTISTS,
WE CAN'T TELL

OIL COMPANIES WHAT TO DO
OR WHAT NOT TO DO,

BUT WE CAN SAY THAT,
"YOU KNOW WHAT?

"IT IS TREMENDOUSLY RISKY

"TO GO AFTER ALL OF THAT OIL
AND NATURAL GAS.

"IF WE WILLINGLY CHOOSE
TO CROSS THAT LINE,

THEN DON'T SAY
THAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN WARNED."

AND THEN THERE'S A FINAL TWIST,

ONE THAT'S STRAIGHT OUT OF
A CLIMATE SCIENTIST'S NIGHTMARE.

AS THE ICE MELTS IN THE ARCTIC,

ENTIRELY NEW DEPOSITS
OF OIL AND GAS

THAT WERE ONCE TRAPPED
UNDER THE ICE

ARE BECOMING ACCESSIBLE
FOR THE FIRST TIME.

I'VE JUST LEARNED
THAT WE CAN'T AFFORD

TO BURN THE FOSSIL-FUEL RESERVES
WE KNOW ABOUT,

AND YET, ENERGY COMPANIES
ARE ON THE HUNT

FOR EVEN MORE OF THE STUFF.

IT REALLY IS
THE ULTIMATE IRONY.

AS WE BURN FOSSIL FUELS,
WE WARM THE PLANET.

THE WARMING MELTS
THE ICE,

AND THAT JUST MAKES
ALL OF THESE NATURAL RESOURCES

MORE ACCESSIBLE TO FOSSIL-FUEL
COMPANIES TO EXTRACT,

WHICH THEN FURTHER WARMS
THE PLANET.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE REALLY
LOCKED IN THIS VICIOUS CYCLE.

Somerhalder:
APALACHICOLA HAS LONG BEEN
THE OYSTER CAPITAL OF FLORIDA.

NOT LONG AGO,
THIS ONE BAY PRODUCED

10% OF ALL THE OYSTERS
IN THE UNITED STATES.

BUT IN THE LAST YEAR,

OYSTER REVENUES ARE DOWN
BY ALMOST HALF.

IT'S GOTTEN SO BAD THAT
THE U.S. SECRETARY OF COMMERCE

OFFICIALLY DECLARED
A DISASTER IN THE REGION.

YOU'RE NOT DOING
FOR WHAT ONE PEOPLE...

TO HELP EXPLAIN
WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE,

ANNA JANE ASKED
KATHARINE HAYHOE,

ONE OF THE WORLD'S
LEADING CLIMATE SCIENTISTS,

TO JOIN HER AND RICK.

HEY.
HI!

HI. I'M ANNA JANE.
NICE TO MEET YOU.

HEY. I'M RICK.
KATHARINE.

GOOD TO MEET YOU.
YOU, TOO.

Somerhalder:
KATHARINE ISN'T JUST
A CLIMATE SCIENTIST.

SHE'S ALSO A DEVOUT EVANGELICAL,

THE DAUGHTER
OF CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES,

AND SHE'S MARRIED

TO A CONSERVATIVE
EVANGELICAL PREACHER.

AND THE FUNNY THING IS
THAT WHEN WE FIRST GOT MARRIED,

IT WASN'T TILL AFTER
WE GOT MARRIED THAT WE REALIZED

THAT HE DIDN'T THINK
CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL,

SO WE ACTUALLY SPENT
THE FIRST -- I DON'T KNOW --

PROBABLY ABOUT THE FIRST YEAR
OR TWO OF BEING MARRIED

ARGUING THROUGH
A LOT OF SCIENTIFIC ISSUES.

THE WAY I THINK
OF SCIENCE IS --

I FEEL LIKE
I'M ACTUALLY STUDYING

WHAT GOD WAS THINKING
WHEN HE PUT THE EARTH TOGETHER.

AND SO I FEEL
LIKE THERE IS TRUTH

IN LOOKING AT CREATION.

WHEN I SEE
ALL THESE THINGS CHANGING,

WE HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HOW
THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN THE PAST,

HOW IT'S GOTTEN WARMER
AND COOLER

AND HOW WE'VE SEEN
DIFFERENT CYCLES IN THE PAST.

AND THE THINGS
WE'RE SEEING RIGHT NOW

DON'T FIT
ANY OF THOSE MOLDS.

Somerhalder: FOR RICK, THIS IS
A CHANCE TO LEARN ABOUT SCIENCE

FROM SOMEONE
WHO SHARES HIS FAITH.

WHEN YOU LOOK
AT THE OBSERVATIONS,

WHAT WE SEE IS THAT,
FIRST OF ALL,

THE EARTH'S TEMPERATURE GOES
UP AND DOWN ALL THE TIME.

IT GOES UP AND DOWN
FROM YEAR TO YEAR,

AND IT GOES UP AND DOWN
OVER TIME.

WHAT WE ALSO SEE, THOUGH,
IS, RIGHT NOW,

IT'S GOING UP
VERY STEADILY

OVER, YOU KNOW,
20 OR 30 YEARS.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK
AT THE PLANET RIGHT NOW,

THE OCEAN IS WARMING,
THE ATMOSPHERE IS WARMING,

THE LAND SURFACE
IS WARMING.

EVERY PART OF THE LAND
AND THE OCEAN,

THE ATMOSPHERE IS WARMING.

AND WE ALSO SEE

THAT ALL
OF THE NATURAL REASONS

WHY CLIMATE HAS CHANGED
IN THE PAST RIGHT NOW,

LIKE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS,
THE SOLAR CYCLES,

NATURAL CYCLES,
WOULD BE CAUSING US TO COOL.

INSTEAD, WE'RE WARMING.
MM-HMM.

SO WE KNOW THAT WE'RE BURNING
COAL GAS, AND OIL.

WE KNOW THAT.

WE KNOW THAT IT PRODUCES
CARBON DIOXIDE.

WE KNOW THAT THE CARBON
DIOXIDE IS BUILDING UP
IN THE ATMOSPHERE.

WHEN WE ADD
EXTRA CARBON DIOXIDE,

IT'S LIKE WRAPPING AN EXTRA
BLANKET AROUND THE EARTH.

AND IT KEEPS THE EARTH WARM

EXACTLY THE WAY A JACKET
OR A BLANKET KEEPS US WARM.

IT REFLECTS OUR BODY HEAT
BACK TO US.

SO THAT'S WHY WE KNOW

IT'S US THAT IS DRIVING
CLIMATE CHANGE TODAY.

IT'S BECAUSE WE SHOULD
BE GETTING COOLER RIGHT NOW,

AND WE'RE NOT.

RICK DOESN'T LOOK CONVINCED,

BUT IF HE HAS ANY QUESTIONS
FOR KATHARINE,

HE'S NOT EVEN BOTHERING TO ASK.

[ INSECTS CHIRPING ]

HI.

Ken: HELLO. HOW YOU DOING?
HI. I'M ANNA JANE.

PLEASURE.

HEY, KEN.

THE LAST HURRICANE,
IT BROKE OFF...

AND YOU PUSH THE BOAT.

AND THEN BEFORE THE BOAT
SWINGS BACK,

SO I CAN COVER
AS MUCH GROUND AS POSSIBLE,

I'LL GRAB MY FOOT
AND START FEELING THE BOTTOM,

LOOKING FOR OYSTERS
AGAIN.

AND I THINK
I MIGHT GET ONE, MAYBE.

[ LAUGHTER ]

THIS IS WHY WE QUIT WORKING
THIS WINTER.

Somerhalder: LONG-TIME OYSTERMEN
KEN FOLSOM AND HIS SON JOE

ARE STRUGGLING TO HOLD ON
TO A DYING WAY OF LIFE.

NOTHING.
NOTHING.

AND NOW,
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND,

STATISTICALLY,

THIS WAS
THE MOST PRODUCTIVE BAR

IN THE ENTIRE WESTERN SIDE
OF THE BAY.

THIS IS WHERE EVERYBODY
DREAMED TO COME.

THIS IS WHERE EVERYBODY
OYSTERED.

I'VE OYSTERED
FOR 30 YEARS.

I RAISED A FAMILY,
YOU KNOW?

I MEAN, THE OYSTERS
WERE AS BIG AS MY FOOT.

THE PROBLEM IS THE WATER.

APALACHICOLA IS RIGHT BETWEEN
THE GULF OF MEXICO,

WHICH IS SALTWATER,

AND A SERIES OF FRESHWATER
RIVERS AND LAKES.

IT'S THE PERFECT HABITAT
FOR OYSTERS.

BUT DROUGHTS
IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY

HAVE BEEN GETTING MORE SEVERE,

AND CLIMATE CHANGE
WILL MAKE THEM EVEN WORSE.

THREE STRAIGHT YEARS OF DROUGHT
AND A RISE IN WATER USE UPSTREAM

HAVE DRASTICALLY REDUCED
THE FLOW OF FRESHWATER.

AS A RESULT, THE SALINITY
OF THE WATER IN APALACHICOLA BAY

IS TOO HIGH,
AND, ON TOP OF THAT,

CLIMATE CHANGE IS CAUSING
THE SEA LEVEL TO RISE,

WHICH WILL BRING IN
EVEN MORE SALTWATER.

SO, OYSTERS NEED
THIS PERFECT MIX

OF SALTWATER
AND FRESHWATER TO GROW.

AND THEN,
IN RECENT YEARS THEN,

THE FRESHWATER'S
BEEN LESS AND LESS OF IT

BECAUSE OF THE DROUGHT

AND BECAUSE OF PEOPLE
NEEDING THE WATER UPSTREAM.

RIGHT?
THAT'S CORRECT.

I UNDERSTAND.
YEAH.

AND THEN YOU GOT
SEA-LEVEL RISING.

AND THEN CLIMATE CHANGE
IS MESSING UP

OUR RAINFALL PATTERNS,
TOO.

I'M SITTING HERE THINKING,

"YEAH," BUT WE LIVE
RIGHT UP THE COAST HERE,

AND I DON'T SEE
THE WATER RISING, YOU KNOW.

WE HAVEN'T SEEN IT THERE.

YOU KNOW,
THESE ARE DEFINITELY

WORTHY CONSIDERATIONS
TO SEARCH OUT.

"IS THIS THE CAUSE?"
MM-HMM.

I MEAN, I'M VERY INTERESTED
TO HEAR SOMEBODY'S PERSPECTIVE

WHO'S BEEN ON THE WATER
THIS LONG.

AND I THINK HE'S THE TYPE OF GUY
THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE HEARD.

YEAH.
I WOULD SAY SO.

I'M AN EARLY WARNING
BECAUSE IT'S IMPACTING ME NOW.

IT'S PROBABLY
GONNA IMPACT YOU TOMORROW.

SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE --
I MEAN, I HATE TO SAY IT,

'CAUSE I'M NOT
A REALLY RELIGIOUS PERSON,

BUT IT'S KIND OF LIKE IT SAID
IN THE BIBLE,

WHERE ALL THE FISH
WOULD DIE IN THE OCEAN.

YOU KNOW, IT'S HAPPENING.

THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST
PRISTINE BAYS LEFT

IN THE ENTIRE
UNITED STATES.

IT JUST BREAKS MY HEART
TO SEE IT BEING KILLED.

AND I FEEL SO POWERLESS
TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

Stahl: THERE'S AN OIL RUSH
IN THE ARCTIC.

AS THE ICE MELTS,

EVERY COUNTRY
WITH A STAKE IN THE REGION

WANTS IN ON THE GAME.

RUSSIA, NORWAY, ICELAND, CANADA,
THE UNITED STATES, AND GREENLAND

ARE ALL BELIEVED TO BE SITTING

ON A TREASURE TROVE
OF UNDISCOVERED OIL

WORTH TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

AMERICA NEEDS OUR OIL.

AND WHEN ALASKA'S STRONG
AND WHEN WE PRODUCE,

IT HELPS KEEP
THE COUNTRY STRONG.

WE SEND LESS MONEY OVERSEAS.

Stahl: MEAD TREADWELL IS THE
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF ALASKA.

HE SAYS DRILLING IN THE ARCTIC
IS AMERICA'S BEST OPPORTUNITY

TO END ITS DEPENDENCE
ON FOREIGN OIL.

BUT I WONDER IF HE THINKS

ABOUT THE OTHER CONSEQUENCES
OF FOSSIL FUELS.

SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
SCIENTISTS ARE WARNING

THAT WE HAVE TO STOP
THE DRILLING

AND EXPLORING
FOR MORE OIL AND GAS.

THEY'RE SAYING
THAT IT'S GONNA BE A CATASTROPHE

FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

WELL,
I GUESS I'D ASK YOU THIS.

DO YOU DRIVE A CAR?

NOPE.

DO YOU EVER RIDE IN A CAR?

[ Laughing ] YES.

GOTCHA.
OF COURSE YOU DO.

I MEAN, THE POINT IS --

I GOT HERE IN A JET
THAT WAS FUELED BY FOSSIL FUEL.

LET'S SAY YOU'RE RIGHT

AND LET'S SAY
THEY'RE RIGHT, OKAY?

THEN THE QUESTION IS --

CAN YOU PUT THE TOOTHPASTE
BACK IN THE TUBE?

NO, BUT WE CAN
NOT MAKE IT WORSE.

WE CAN TAKE STEPS

TO NOT EXACERBATE
WHAT'S ALREADY HAPPENING.

OKAY, SO,
YOU'RE GONNA QUIT FLYING.

YOU'RE GONNA QUIT DRIVING.

I MEAN, THE FACT IS

THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE USING
FOSSIL FUELS FOR SOME TIME.

I DON'T BELIEVE HOLDING
ALASKA ENERGY OFF THE MARKET

IS GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY.

CANADA, GREENLAND,

FOR DENMARK, ICELAND,
NORWAY, RUSSIA --

WE ARE ALL COMPETING
FOR INVESTMENT DOLLARS.

I WAS IN THE ROOM WITH
VLADIMIR PUTIN A FEW YEARS AGO,

WHERE HE WAS TALKING ABOUT
A DEAL HE MADE WITH EXXON

WHERE HE EXPECTS $350 BILLION
WORTH OF INVESTMENT

FLOWING THROUGH
THAT PARTICULAR DEAL.

TO FIND OIL AND GAS.

TO FIND
AND PRODUCE IT, YEAH.

AND SO, WE ARE
ALL IN A COMPETITION TO --

BECAUSE
WE'RE BASICALLY APPEARING

IN THE SAME BOARDROOMS
AROUND THE WORLD --

YOU KNOW, EXXON INVESTS IN MANY
OF OUR DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

ConocoPhillips INVESTS IN MANY
OF THESE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES.

AND SO THE QUESTION IS --
WHICH ARCTIC REGION

WILL WIN
THAT INVESTMENT BATTLE?

[ SINGING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE ]

AND THAT BATTLE
INCLUDES GREENLAND.

THEY'RE ON THE FRONT LINES
OF GLOBAL WARMING.

ICE IS PART
OF THEIR NATIONAL IDENTITY.

AND I EXPECTED THEM
TO BE OUTRAGED

BY THE DRAMATIC CHANGES
THAT ARE HAPPENING HERE,

BUT, INSTEAD,
JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE,

THEY SEE THE MELTING ICE
AS AN OPPORTUNITY.

OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS,

OIL COMPANIES HAVE BEEN SPENDING
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS

TO LEASE GIANT TRACTS
OF OFFSHORE REAL ESTATE HERE

JUST SO THEY CAN LOOK FOR OIL.

I WANT TO ASK GREENLAND'S
PRIME MINISTER, ALEQA HAMMOND,

WHAT THAT KIND OF MONEY
WOULD MEAN

FOR A RELATIVELY POOR COUNTRY
OF JUST 57,000 PEOPLE.

I HAVE A MAP

SO THAT YOU AND I
CAN LOOK AT THE MAP

THAT SHOWS JUST WHAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

SO, THIS IS GREENLAND,
OBVIOUSLY.

AND THIS IS WHERE ALL
THE OIL EXPLORATION IS GOING ON.

THAT LOOKS LIKE A HUGE SWATH
OF REAL ESTATE OUT THERE.

THE NEW OIL
AROUND THE WORLD

TO BE FOUND IN THE FUTURE
IS IN GREENLAND.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH

THE OIL COMPANIES
ARE ALREADY SPENDING

FOR THIS EXPLORATION
OUT THERE?

A LOT OF DOLLARS.

MORE --
AM I RIGHT? --

THAN THE GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT
OF GREENLAND?

YES, YES.

THEY'RE SPENDING MORE THAN
THE WHOLE ECONOMY OF GREENLAND

JUST TO FIND THIS OIL
OUT THERE.

AND IF THEY FIND IT,

EVERY CITIZEN OF GREENLAND
WILL BENEFIT IN SOME WAY.

YES, OF COURSE.
OTHERWISE, WE DIDN'T DO THAT.

THERE ARE ENVIRONMENTALISTS

WHO WOULD WANT YOU
NOT EVEN TO DEVELOP THE OIL.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO LET
THESE ENVIRONMENTALISTS KNOW

THAT THIS IS NOT A MUSEUM.

THIS IS NOT NEW FRONTIER,

WHERE YOU CAN JUST MAKE
A NEW TREATY

SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT
TO BE TOUCHED.

PEOPLE LIVE HERE.

WE HAVE A WORD TO SAY.

IF WE ARE NOT
TO BECOME VICTIMIZED

IN THIS CLIMATE-CHANGE ISSUE,

IT'S IMPORTANT,
AS A POLITICIAN,

WE FIND OTHER OPTIONS
FOR INCOME AS A PEOPLE.

Woman: OKAY, SO,
Y'ALL TELL ME ABOUT YOUR TRIP.

IT WAS AWESOME.

IT WAS A GREAT TRIP.

A LOT OF FUN,
LEARNED A LOT.

I THOUGHT I'D GET
THE ULTIMATE ANSWER --

IS CLIMATE CHANGE FOR REAL
OR NOT?

AND I DIDN'T.

YOU KNOW,
SORRY THAT IT SEEMED

LIKE SHE CAME JUST AUTOMATICALLY
ASSUMING THIS IS CLIMATE CHANGE

AND THIS IS DAMAGED
BY CLIMATE CHANGE.

SHE WASN'T ASSUMING IT, DAD.
SHE STUDIES IT.

IT'S WHAT SHE DOES FOR A LIVING.
IT'S NOT AN ASSUMPTION.

THERE IS COPIOUS RESEARCH
THAT INDICATES

THAT CLIMATE CHANGE
IS MAKING DROUGHTS WORSE

AND THAT THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE

AS OUR LIFE --
LIKE, WITHIN MY LIFETIME,

IT'S GOING TO BECOME

AN INCREASINGLY
MORE DIFFICULT PROBLEM

FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE
FRESHWATER.

THAT'S AN ASSUMPTION.

IT'S NOT
AN ASSUMPTION, DAD.

THERE'S SOLID,
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE

THAT THAT'S THE CASE.

WELL,
I'VE HEARD THAT SO MUCH,

BUT NOBODY'S PRESENTED

THAT SOLID SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE,
IN MY OPINION.

WELL,
IT JUST SEEMS TO ME

LIKE YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR REASONS NOT TO BELIEVE IT.

WELL, YEAH,
I DON'T THINK I WAS.

MAYBE I AM.

IT'S NOT UNLIKE --

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T LINK
CANCER TO CIGARETTES 100%,

BUT YOU WOULDN'T GIVE

YOUR 10-YEAR-OLD CHILD
A PACK OF CIGARETTES,

BECAUSE THERE'S SOME MEASURE
OF UNCERTAINTY.

WELL,
WE'VE HAD CASES IN HISTORY

WHERE 99% OF PEOPLE
BELIEVE ONE THING,

AND THEY WERE TOTALLY WRONG.

DAD, I WOULD BET MY LIFE
ON THE FACT

THAT HISTORY WILL SAY
THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM,

AND WE COULD HAVE DONE
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

AND RIGHT NOW,
YOU'RE IN THE CAMP

THAT'S NOT DOING
ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

DO YOU REALLY WANT
TO BE IN THAT CAMP?

I WANT TO BE
IN THE CAMP OF THE TRUTH.

I'M SAYING
I WOULD BET MY LIFE ON IT.

YEAH, BECAUSE, SEE,
THAT'S AN EMOTIONAL PERSUASION.

NO, IT'S NOT AN EMOTION.

IT STILL
DOESN'T GIVE ME THE FACTS.

I'VE JUST SET YOU UP

WITH ONE OF THE MOST RENOWNED
CLIMATE SCIENTISTS IN THE WORLD.

YOU WEREN'T WILLING
TO HEAR THE FACTS.

I THINK I WAS.

WE ARE CONSISTENTLY,
CONSTANTLY COMING

UP TO OUR PARENTS,
TO OUR FRIENDS,

WHO ARE JUST LOOKING
THE OTHER WAY.

WELL, IF YOU'RE GONNA ERR,
WHICH SIDE WE WANT TO ERR ON?

WE WOULDN'T EVEN BE HAVING
THIS CONVERSATION

IF YOU WEREN'T OUR DAUGHTER.

I JUST REALLY
ENCOURAGE YOU

TO PUT SOME ENERGY
INTO DOING THE RESEARCH,

BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT
TO BE ON THE SIDE

THAT SAID, "I HAD A CHANCE,
AND I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING."

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

Stahl: IT TURNS OUT
NOT EVERYONE IS CONTENT

TO STAND BY AND WATCH THE ARCTIC
BECOME THE NEXT SAUDI ARABIA.

GREENPEACE IS CAMPAIGNING
ALL OVER THE WORLD

TO MAKE THE ARCTIC
A NO-DRILLING ZONE.

THIS PAST SEPTEMBER,

30 GREENPEACE ACTIVISTS
CRASHED AN OIL RIG

OWNED BY ENERGY GIANT GAZPROM.

SOME OF THEM ENDED UP

SPENDING THREE MONTHS
IN A RUSSIAN PRISON AS A RESULT.

THEY SEEM WILLING
TO DO ALMOST ANYTHING

TO PLACE THIS ISSUE
ON THE WORLD STAGE.

[ PEOPLE CHANTING
IN NATIVE LANGUAGE ]

[ CHANTING CONTINUES ]

Man:
THE CLIMATE IS CHANGING.

THERE ARE DANGERS.

THERE ARE ALSO OPPORTUNITIES.

Stahl: I'D NEVER HEARD
OF THE ARCTIC COUNCIL.

IT'S SORT OF A POLAR U.N.

THIS ASSEMBLY OF ARCTIC NATIONS

HAS BEEN MEETING FOR ALMOST TWO
DECADES WITHOUT MUCH FANFARE,

BUT LATELY, THESE MEETINGS
HAVE TAKEN ON A NEW URGENCY.

GOOD MORNING.

Woman:
TODAY, THE ARCTIC IS RECEIVING

UNPRECEDENTED
INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION.

Man:
THE ARCTIC HAS BECOME

PART OF WORLD POLITICS
AS WE NEVER SAW BEFORE.

TODAY, AS SECRETARY OF STATE,
I COME HERE KEENLY AWARE

THAT THE LONG LIST
OF CHALLENGES --

ICE MELT, RISING SEA LEVELS,

AND INDISCRIMINATE
DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES --

ALL OF THESE CARRY

EVEN MORE CHALLENGES DOWNSTREAM,
SO TO SPEAK,

TO EACH OF OUR ECONOMIES,
TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY,

AND TO INTERNATIONAL STABILITY.

WHAT HAPPENS HERE

TOUCHES EVERY SINGLE PERSON
AROUND THE WORLD

AND OUR WAY OF LIFE.

Stahl:
BUT EVEN THOUGH THE COUNCIL
HAS ISSUED NUMEROUS REPORTS

ON THE THREAT CLIMATE CHANGE
POSES TO THE REGION,

THEY ARE DOING NOTHING TO STOP
THE MAD RUSH FOR FOSSIL FUELS.

AND I'M CURIOUS WHAT JOHN KERRY
THINKS OF ALL THIS.

HE'S BEEN SOUNDING THE ALARM
ON CLIMATE CHANGE FOR DECADES.

AS A SENATOR, HE TRIED FOR YEARS

TO MAKE FOSSIL-FUEL COMPANIES
PAY FOR THE RIGHT

TO DUMP HEAT-TRAPPING GASES
INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.

HE FAILED, THANKS, IN PART,

TO A HALF-BILLION-DOLLAR
LOBBYING CAMPAIGN

BY ENERGY COMPANIES.

Stahl: SO, AS A PERSON
WHO HAS BEEN AN ADVOCATE

ON THIS ISSUE FOREVER,
FOR DECADES NOW,

IT DOESN'T BOTHER YOU

THAT, I GUESS,
THE ENERGY DEPARTMENT GIVES OUT

HUNDREDS OF PERMITS
TO OIL COMPANIES

TO DIG
IN THE ALASKAN ARCTIC?

DOES IT BOTHER YOU?
SURE, IT BOTHERS ME.

OF COURSE IT DOES.

HOW COULD IT NOT BOTHER YOU,

IF YOU ACCEPT THE SCIENTIFIC
FACTS THAT I'VE SAID I ACCEPT?

OF COURSE IT BOTHERS ME,

WHICH IS WHY
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

HAS ISSUED NEW RESTRAINTS

ON COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS,
NEW POWER SOURCES.

WE'VE GOT NEW STANDARDS
FOR AUTOMOBILES, TRUCKS.

I MEAN,
WE'RE DOING THINGS,

BUT, FRANKLY, WE NEED
A MAJOR SHIFT IN THE RESPONSE

OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS
AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

TO HOW WE'RE GONNA PROVIDE
OUR ENERGY.

WHY NOT JUST STOP

GIVING OUT PERMITS RIGHT NOW
FOR DRILLING

AND LOOKING FOR MORE OIL AND
MORE RESOURCES IN THE ARCTIC?

BECAUSE IT'S NOT
THE LOOKING FORWARD

OR THE DRILLING RIGHT NOW

THAT'S GONNA MAKE
THE DIFFERENCE.

YOU CAN'T CUT IT OFF
WITHOUT AN ALTERNATIVE.

IF YOU WERE GETTING
AN ANALYST'S REPORT IN A COMPANY

AND YOU ARE SAYING TO THEM,
"WHAT'S YOUR ADVICE

"ABOUT WHERE OUR ENERGY'S
GONNA COME FROM

IN 15 OR 20 YEARS?"

BECAUSE OF THE SLOWNESS OF
THE POLITICAL SYSTEM TO RESPOND,

BECAUSE OF THE POWER
OF SOME OF THOSE COMPANIES

TO PREVENT IT
FROM HAPPENING FAST,

YOU'D BET ON THE FACT

THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
THE STATUS QUO

IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

AND THAT'S WHY THE MONEY
IS CHASING THAT FUTURE.

SO, THERE IS NO POLICY
TO SAY,

"THE OIL AND GAS IN THE ARCTIC
SHOULD STAY WHERE IT IS.

WE SHOULDN'T DIG IT UP."

THERE'S NO POLICY YET.

WHEN I WAS EARLY INVOLVED
IN THE ENVIRONMENT EFFORTS,

BACK IN 1970,
WHEN WE HAD THE FIRST EARTH DAY,

AND 20 MILLION AMERICANS
CAME OUT

AND SAID,
"WE WANT A CHANGE,"

THEY ALSO UNELECTED
A BUNCH OF PEOPLE IN CONGRESS,

AND THAT'S HOW WE GOT
A CLEAN AIR ACT,

SAFE DRINKING WATER,
MARINE-MAMMAL PROTECTION.

ALL THOSE ACTS HAPPENED.

WE EVEN CREATED THE EPA
OUT OF THAT.

THAT'S WHAT WE NEED AGAIN.
WE NEED A GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT.

WE NEED AMERICANS

TO BE DEMANDING
OF THEIR PUBLIC OFFICIALS

THAT WE HAVE
A RESPONSIBLE ENERGY POLICY.

Somerhalder:
AS ANNA JANE KEEPS THINKING

ABOUT HOW TO CONVINCE
HER FATHER,

RICK IS BUSY DOING
HIS OWN RESEARCH

AND FINDS ALL SORTS
OF INFORMATION

THAT CONFIRMS HIS WORLD VIEW
AND ATTACKS THE SCIENCE.

IN REALITY, THE U.S.
NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES,

THE AMERICAN
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION,

AND HUNDREDS OF SCIENTIFIC
ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE WORLD

HAVE ESTABLISHED
THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL,

THAT HUMANS
ARE MAINLY RESPONSIBLE,

AND THAT THE IMPACTS
WILL BE SEVERE.

BUT NONE OF THAT SEEMS
TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON RICK.

ON A GLOBAL SCALE,

WHEN YOU START COMPILING

THE FINDINGS
OF THOUSANDS OF SCIENTISTS,

ALL ROADS INEXORABLY LEAD
TO THE EARTH IS WARMING

BECAUSE OF CO2 EMISSIONS.

WELL, ONE THING --

THERE IS INFORMATION OUT THERE
THAT COUNTERS ALMOST EVERYTHING,

AND IT IS
SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION.

WOULD YOU LET ME BRING
THE EVIDENCE AGAINST IT

AND PRESENT IT?

WHICH I'VE NOT YET HAD
ANY CLIMATE-CHANGE PROPONENT

BE WILLING TO LISTEN TO.

Somerhalder:
A FAIR REQUEST.

SO I START LOOKING
FOR A SCIENTIST

WHO'D BE WILLING
TO HEAR RICK OUT.

AND I THINK I FOUND
THE PERFECT PERSON --

SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY USED TO SEE
THINGS THE SAME WAY RICK DOES.

AND, IN FACT, HE USED TO BE

ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL
CLIMATE DENIERS IN THE COUNTRY.

I'M GOING TO BE TALKING
ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE,

IN WHICH I WAS, INDEED,
A SKEPTIC.

Somerhalder: FOR YEARS,
DR. RICHARD MULLER'S RESEARCH

WAS FUNDED, IN PART,

BY FOSSIL-FUEL BILLIONAIRES
CHARLES AND DAVID KOCH,

WHO HAVE FUNDED
NUMEROUS CLIMATE-DENIAL EFFORTS.

BUT THEN, IN 2012, HE FLIPPED.

NOW DR. MULLER TRIES TO CONVINCE

WHAT HE CALLS
"SOPHISTICATED SKEPTICS" --

PEOPLE LIKE RICK JOYNER.

ONE OF THE PROBLEMS
WITH SCIENCE --

I'VE GOT ALL KINDS OF STUFF HERE
THAT QUESTION THE SCIENCE.

I'M NOT GONNA SAY
THEY DISAPPROVE.

YOU MEAN AS A WHOLE,
THE SCIENCE AS A WHOLE.

PROBLEMS WITH THE MATH,
PROBLEMS WITH THE PSYCHOLOGY,

PROBLEMS
WITH THE POLITICS,

AND THERE IS SOME DEFINITE
HYPOCRISY.

Somerhalder:
WE TALKED FOR OVER THREE HOURS.

IS IT MORE POLITICALLY
MOTIVATED?

AND, IF SO,
WHAT ARE THE POLITICS?

IT CAN BE OTHER FACTORS,
MANY OTHER FACTORS,

CAUSING A SEEMING DECREASE
IN TEMPERATURES.

IS CO2 REALLY THE FACTOR
THAT WE THOUGHT IT WAS?

Somerhalder:
PASTOR RICK LAID OUT

ALL THE REASONS
HE DOUBTED CLIMATE CHANGE.

AND DR. MULLER RESPONDED

WITH THE FINDINGS
OF HIS INVESTIGATION.

WHEN WE STARTED THIS WORK
THREE YEARS AGO,

IT WASN'T CLEAR TO ME
THAT THE TEMPERATURES HAD RISEN.

SO THE THERMOMETER DATA
WAS IMPORTANT.

SO, WHAT DID YOU DO?

I FELT WE HAD TO START
FROM THE BEGINNING,

ANALYZE THE DATA
OURSELVES.

WE WERE ABLE TO DERIVE
A TEMPERATURE CURVE

THAT STARTS IN 1753.

SO, WILL YOU
SHOW US THIS?

YEAH, LET ME SHOW YOU.
HERE'S THE PLOT.

SO, THIS LIGHT LINE
THAT BOUNCES UP AND DOWN

IS OUR TEMPERATURE RECORD
GOING BACK TO 1753.

Somerhalder:
THE CURVE SHOWED

A STEADY RISE IN TEMPERATURE
DURING THE INDUSTRIAL AGE,

BUT THERE WAS
SOMETHING PUZZLING.

THERE WERE ALSO A SERIES
OF SUDDEN DROPS IN TEMPERATURE.

SO DR. MULLER AND HIS TEAM
LOOKED FOR AN EXPLANATION.

AND IT TURNS OUT
THESE DROPS IN TEMPERATURES

ALL MATCHED
THE KNOWN VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS.

AND THE FACT
THAT WE COULD SEE THESE

GAVE US
THAT MUCH MORE CONFIDENCE

THAT WHAT WE HAD DONE
WAS RIGHT.

VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS CAUSE
THE PLANET TO COOL

BECAUSE ALL THE ASH IN THE AIR
BLOCKS SUNLIGHT.

BUT WE COULD SEE
THEY WERE ALL VERY SHORT-LIVED.

NOW, WE GOT
THIS GRADUAL CHANGE --

COMES ALL THE WAY UP HERE.

WHAT IS THAT?

THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT
CAN CAUSE AN EXPONENTIAL RISE,

THINGS UNRELATED
TO GLOBAL-WARMING THEORY.

SO, WE PUT IN
THE SOLAR VARIABILITY.

WE HAVE GOOD RECORDS
OF SUNSPOTS.

AND I TRIED
THE SOLAR VARIABILITY.

AND, FINALLY,
MY FORMER GRADUATE STUDENT SAID,

"WHY DON'T YOU TRY
THE WORLD POPULATION?"

I DID THAT, AND IT WAS ALSO
NOT A VERY GOOD FIT.

Somerhalder: AFTER EXHAUSTING
ALL THE POSSIBLE NATURAL CAUSES,

MULLER FINALLY PLUGGED IN
CARBON DIOXIDE.

IN THE END,
THE FIT THAT I GOT BEST,

THE FIT YOU SEE HERE --

AND THIS WAS
A JAW-DROPPING EXPERIENCE --

BY FAR, THE BEST FIT

WAS WHEN I PUT IN THE VOLCANOES
AND CARBON DIOXIDE.

THIS WAS REALLY
THE "EUREKA" MOMENT.

GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL
AND CAUSED BY HUMANS.

Somerhalder: IS THAT CONSISTENT
WITH, ULTIMATELY,

RIGHT AROUND WHEN THE INDUSTRIAL
REVOLUTION HAPPENED?

WHEN WE STARTED SPEWING OUT

COPIOUS QUANTITIES OF CO2
TO OUR DEVELOPMENT?

HERE,
THERE WAS A SLIGHT RISE,

AND THAT WAS MOSTLY DUE
TO THE BURNING OF WOOD.

AND YOU GET UP HERE
INTO THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION,

AND IT STARTS
GOING UP FASTER.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CARBON
IN THE ATMOSPHERE,

AND YOU CAN DETERMINE
THAT IT'S FOSSIL FUEL.

SO, YOU'VE HEARD
A LOT OF HIS ARGUMENTS

TO YOUR CONCERNS
AND VICE VERSA.

WHAT DO YOU THINK NOW?

I STILL HAVE
QUESTIONS.

I MEAN, THIS HASN'T RESOLVED
ALL OF MY ANSWERS,

BUT HE HAS REALLY --

AT LEAST
YOU'VE SHOWN ME SOMEONE

WHO I FELT LIKE HAD
A TRUE SCIENCE...

YEAH.
...PERSPECTIVE.

MOST OF MY OTHER ONES,

THE PROBLEMS
WITH THE PSYCHOLOGY,

WITH THE POLITICS.

YOU KNOW, WE CAN SIT AROUND
AND ARGUE THIS TILL WE ALL DIE,

AND THAT DOESN'T CHANGE

THE FACT THAT IT'S REAL
AND THAT IT'S HAPPENING.

AND SO, AT WHAT POINT

DO WE HAVE TO PUT ASIDE
THE POLITICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL

AND ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT THEY ARE PROBLEMATIC,

AND WE NEED
TO ADDRESS THEM,

BUT JUST REALLY TAKE THE SCIENCE
FOR WHAT IT IS?

Stahl:
SINCE MY TRIP TO THE ARCTIC,

THE FOSSIL-FUEL RUSH
HAS CONTINUED.

GREENLAND RECENTLY GRANTED
NEW EXPLORATION LICENSES

TO SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL
OIL COMPANIES IN THE WORLD,

INCLUDING CHEVRON,
ConocoPhillips, AND BP.

AND FOR THE FIRST TIME,

THE RUSSIANS HAVE STRUCK OIL
IN THE ARCTIC

AND HAVE BEGUN DRILLING.

Somerhalder:
AFTER ALMOST A DECADE

LISTENING TO HIS DAUGHTER ARGUE
THE CASE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE,

PASTOR RICK JOYNER
STILL ISN'T FULLY CONVINCED.

BUT HE HAS GAINED
ENOUGH RESPECT FOR ANNA JANE

TO LET HER SPEAK DIRECTLY
TO HIS CONGREGATION

AND LET THEM DECIDE.

[ INDISTINCT CHATTER ]

Anna Jane:
THESE PEOPLE ON THE FAR RIGHT

ARE INCREDIBLY INFLUENTIAL
IN A LOT OF CASES,

AND IF YOU CAN MOVE
A COUPLE OF THEM,

YOU CAN REALLY CHANGE THE GAME.

Rick:
HIS LOVE MAKES US WHOLE.

THIS IS A HEALING CONFERENCE.

YOU GETTING HEALED?

YOU KNOW, THERE ARE
A LOT OF LEVELS OF HEALING.

THERE ARE A LOT
OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF HEALING.

AND TONIGHT, MY DAUGHTER'S
GONNA START TALKING ABOUT --

A LITTLE BIT TONIGHT
ABOUT HEALING THE LAND.

AND HERE ARE SOME OF THE
DIFFERENT BIBLICAL NARRATIVES

THAT I CAME ACROSS

THAT SPEAK
TO CARING FOR THE EARTH.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:26 SAID,

"FOR THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S
AND THE FULLNESS THEREOF."

LEVITICUS SAYS,
"THE LAND IS MINE,

AND YOU ARE BUT MY ALIENS
AND MY TENANTS."

CLIMATE DISRUPTION
IS NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE.

IT'S A MORAL ISSUE.
IT'S A JUSTICE ISSUE.

EVEN MORE THAN THAT,
IT'S A SPIRITUAL ISSUE.

AND IF AND WHEN
CHRISTIANS DO ENGAGE,

THERE WILL BE A GREAT DEAL
OF HEALING --

NOT JUST OF THE LAND,

BUT OF OUR RELATIONSHIPS
WITH THE LAND,

WITH EACH OTHER, AND WITH GOD.

I ASK YOU PEOPLE OF GOD,
PLEASE DON'T SIT THIS ONE OUT.

WHO BETTER TO LEAD THIS
THAN CHRISTIANS --

BELIEVERS IN THE GREAT HOPE,
BELIEVERS IN RESURRECTION,

BELIEVERS IN SALVATION,
EVEN AGAINST ALL ODDS?

THANK YOU.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
