My name is David Kruipen.

"What is sacrifice?

What does it mean to make a real difference?

Throughout my life and career, I have straddled two worlds.

Increasingly I have become

respected.

Increasingly my books and articles

are published and read.

Increasingly I have been embraced by policymakers

and referenced by bureaucrats,

but today I realized

that I have--

misguided myself.

Today I rediscovered

what I knew when I was young."

- Man: is that one

Man on webcam: Jesus Christ!

You said it was a tick.

- Man: um, I don't know

Man on webcam: I know, sweetheart, but I need you to stay still.

- Jesus.

- Man: see those hairs? - Get the tweezers, the tweezers.

I want you to grab it. Honey, keep your head still, please.

- Get back in so I can see it.

- Get-- just--

Expert: We have to do something about the population.

- And what is wrong with the population? - We have too many people.

There's way too many people using way too much stuff.

That's why we have global warming.

Talkshow host: They will tell you that we are on the verge

of imminent destruction. The carbon dioxide in the air

is gonna turn our atmosphere into a microwave

and we're all gonna burn and die.

What a load of crap.

- I don't care what they say.

It's not a glacial meltdown or anything like that.

Expert: For decades we've been warned.

Global warming is definitely real and it's potentially catastrophic.

I believe it's prophecy being fulfilled--

hard times that's spoken about in the Bible.

Expert #2: Global warming is becoming a religion

for some of these-- for some of these loonies.

Of course there's global warming and of course it's man-made.

It's a hoax.

Journalist: The melting Arctic will reveal a frightening truth.

I don't think that people are going to do enough in time.

We're on the brink of Armageddon. Most of us will die.

- The few of us who survive will be

living in a world like Somalia.

- Interviewer: And what can we do about it?

We make small sacrifices, but the real ones that really matter...

The world will change, I don't think.

- Ever. - Kruipen: What does it mean to make a real difference?

...radical environmentalists and clearly a legitimate terrorist threat.

Expert: When non-violent methods fail to

change people's minds quickly enough,

well, we have to consider other options.

- Kruipen: The time is now. - We have a breaking story.

Journalist: It's spreading quickly and hospitals cannot keep up.

Thousands are violently ill, hundreds dead.

There is complete chaos in the streets.

400 people have died. At least 10,000 are infected.

State troopers and the National Guard have been ordered to seal off all borders

as people are trying to flee.

Narrator: When nature is the terrorist...

- We're gonna-- we're gonna die.

Journalist: It's too late to do anything.

Die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!

I'm gonna-- help me!

Kruipen: One of the horrors...

Narrator: The worst bioterrorism we've ever known.

Woman: Oh my God!

- Indian man: I'm dead!

Kruipen: The pine beetle is just one example

of the profound impact global warming is having on the planet.

The truth is our way of life is leaving the door open

to an infinite number of threats,

equally as pernicious as the tiny pine beetle.

We're not going to see an end to this sort of horror

unless sacrifices are made.

Teacher:

It's important to our cause.

Woman: what?

Kruipen: Bart, I need your help.

I can't reach Evy. She can't come up.

Yes, everything's fine.

Just make sure she doesn't come up.

- Tell her that I'll send the paperwork back with you.

- Federico: hey, nice chopper.

- Atom: where are you

This is Ground Control. You're cleared for takeoff.

Evy:

Evy on radio: Base station to field station, come in.

- Base station to field station.

Dad?

Dad, are you out there?

Please?

- Bart: god.

Dad, it's me. Come in.

Dad, are you there?

Evy:

Federico: WHAT?

Bart:

- Bart: evy.

Federico:

- Atom: Evelyn!

Atom:

Federico:

Man: I just need to know where you are.

What are your coordinates?

- Okay, stand by.

Atom:

Bart:

Atom:

Bart: jesus.

Federico: SHIT.

Evy:

"Today I rediscovered

what I knew when I was young.

Atom:

- Bart: what's going on?

Evy:

"These parasites were discovered in a thawing glacier.

They are just one

of the horrors that will come from global warming.

And so today I...

prepare this statement,

as I prepare myself

for the ultimate sacrifice, the only sacrifice.

Though thousands will die,

the threat will surely be contained.

This video, too, will surely be contained.

But the impact of both

will survive,

spread through the veins of the internet

onto the screens of the youth,

into your souls,

into your spirit.

You will know the need to sacrifice.

You will know the time is now.

- Atom: NO!

Pilot:

- Pilot: what did he say?

Kruipen:

- Kruipen: we need to go now.

- Kruipen: she'll be okay.

Co-pilot:

Evy's voice:

Talkshow host: All right, we're back and today

we're talking about Evelyn Kruipen,

daughter of infamous ecologist, Dr. David Kruipen.

- Now she's being hailed as a hero.

- She's on the front page of every newspaper

- and website around the globe.

The Center for Disease Control said this young woman

saved us from total annihilation.

- Well, I don't know, Mike.

You're a bit of a conspiracy nut. What do you think?

Well, callers, what do you think?

What is going to end the human race?

A giant meteor out of the sky?

Are we all going to starve to death?

Or is a tiny little bug going to come and wipe us all out?

First caller, you're on the air.

Caller #1: I honestly think it's just more global warming propaganda.

I-- I think the whole thing's just a marketing scam.

Caller #2: It's just another example

of how vulnerable we are, you know?

You've got SARS, bird flu, AIDS.

It's just a matter of time before the big one hits.
