1
00:00:35,553 --> 00:00:43,533
Future climate phenomena shown in the film
they are based on today's leading scientific predictions.
2
00:00:45,244 --> 00:00:49,833
All of the present and past scenes
real news and documentary material.
3
00:00:56,293 --> 00:01:05,006
13,000,000,000 years ago
4
00:02:03,546 --> 00:02:06,958
The Age of Stupidity
5
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,400
North Pole
6
00:03:39,989 --> 00:03:42,147
Welcome to the Global Archive,
7
00:03:42,148 --> 00:03:48,444
which is a huge warehouse center
800 km north of Norway.
8
00:03:58,020 --> 00:04:01,470
All the artefacts of the national museums can be found here.
9
00:04:06,049 --> 00:04:09,602
Preserved animals, a pair of each.
10
00:04:14,005 --> 00:04:17,550
Every movie, every book, every scientific report,
11
00:04:17,551 --> 00:04:19,785
all on a bunch of servers.
12
00:04:25,837 --> 00:04:29,163
But actually the conditions we are experiencing today
13
00:04:29,223 --> 00:04:34,474
the consequences of our behavior up until 2015.
14
00:04:37,580 --> 00:04:41,321
In other words, we could have saved ourselves...
15
00:04:55,476 --> 00:04:57,269
We could have saved ourselves.
16
00:04:57,403 --> 00:05:00,027
But we didn't...
Amazing!
17
00:05:01,207 --> 00:05:03,296
What state of mind were we in?
18
00:05:03,297 --> 00:05:08,286
that we were facing extinction and
did we simply settle it with a shrug?
19
00:05:17,474 --> 00:05:20,930
By nature or something, I've always been aloof...
20
00:05:21,327 --> 00:05:24,922
for a long time. You know, for the airline
you need a... a face
21
00:05:25,446 --> 00:05:29,452
blah blah blah, for a personality.
22
00:05:31,890 --> 00:05:35,327
The 32-year-old entrepreneur is Jeh Wadia
23
00:05:35,547 --> 00:05:40,711
In 2005, it launched India's third low-cost airline.
24
00:05:43,688 --> 00:05:48,368
Now is India's time, now has come
time to develop Indian stores.
25
00:05:48,772 --> 00:05:53,975
It has 1,200 employees, most of whom have never been on a plane before.
26
00:05:55,711 --> 00:05:58,907
What different hijackers might they be dealing with?
27
00:06:08,981 --> 00:06:14,127
Why are you afraid of a little smoke?
Will you get scared and run "Ouch, fire!"?
28
00:06:14,237 --> 00:06:20,383
This is not a toy, not a perfume bottle, you have to aim and hold it. That's it.
29
00:06:20,728 --> 00:06:24,195
I was in London when Stelios Haji-Ioannou,
you know, he created Easy Jet.
30
00:06:24,954 --> 00:06:27,380
I was impressed, basically, how he did it.
31
00:06:27,497 --> 00:06:29,449
Evacuate, evacuate!
32
00:06:30,493 --> 00:06:33,233
Here, here!
33
00:06:41,886 --> 00:06:46,455
We have rides from 600 rupees, ok, all the way down to 1 rupee.
34
00:06:47,457 --> 00:06:53,118
How many people can afford a 1 rupee ticket?
I believe everything is Indian.
35
00:06:53,119 --> 00:06:56,289
The rickshaw puller, the servants too.
36
00:06:56,290 --> 00:06:59,050
You know it's 2005, I mean you know
37
00:06:59,051 --> 00:07:03,724
is that there is an elite class who can fly one
in a country of one billion people, that's ridiculous.
38
00:07:04,822 --> 00:07:10,515
Search: visible effects of climate change until 2010.
39
00:07:14,238 --> 00:07:18,341
101° Fahrenheit (~38.5°C), the highest temperature ever recorded.
40
00:07:18,342 --> 00:07:24,390
It is feared that 700 people have already died, India
during the heaviest rains ever seen in its history.
41
00:07:24,391 --> 00:07:29,187
It's official: last year was the driest in Melbourne's history.
42
00:07:29,188 --> 00:07:34,893
The desert is expanding at an extraordinary rate of 3 miles (4.8 km) per year.
43
00:07:34,894 --> 00:07:40,251
Dozens of ice ledges are collapsing at the South Pole.
Faster than anyone predicted.
44
00:07:40,252 --> 00:07:44,836
18 countries under water, one and a half million people affected.
45
00:07:56,598 --> 00:07:59,078
When I first saw these mountains.
46
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:00,502
The beauty.
47
00:08:01,683 --> 00:08:03,242
Wonderful!
48
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,961
It was love at first sight.
49
00:08:08,820 --> 00:08:13,854
I completed the mountain management training in 1956.
50
00:08:19,344 --> 00:08:25,906
Fernand Pareau has climbed Europe more than 150 times
its highest mountain, Mont Blanc.
51
00:08:25,907 --> 00:08:28,495
He is leading an English family.
52
00:08:28,496 --> 00:08:32,300
- Good day!
- I'm Piers. how are you
53
00:08:32,301 --> 00:08:33,200
Pierre?
54
00:08:33,404 --> 00:08:34,319
Pierre.
55
00:08:35,522 --> 00:08:36,876
My wife, Lisa.
56
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,977
Nice to meet you.
57
00:08:38,978 --> 00:08:39,978
Kiss already?
58
00:08:39,979 --> 00:08:40,979
Great!
59
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:42,659
Thank you!
60
00:08:43,478 --> 00:08:45,643
So, would you go hiking in the Alps?
61
00:08:46,645 --> 00:08:47,729
Yes-yes-yes.
62
00:08:47,730 --> 00:08:48,725
A little bit.
63
00:08:48,726 --> 00:08:52,324
Do you feel like walking on the glacier?
64
00:08:52,889 --> 00:08:53,769
No-no-no-no
65
00:08:54,857 --> 00:08:56,338
Just to watch.
66
00:08:56,339 --> 00:08:57,339
They just saw it.
67
00:08:57,340 --> 00:08:59,225
But we can also take a walk on it.
68
00:08:59,602 --> 00:09:00,609
Yes, yes.
69
00:09:00,610 --> 00:09:02,329
That sounds good!
70
00:09:02,330 --> 00:09:03,330
Yes-yes-yes.
71
00:09:07,587 --> 00:09:12,702
At 82, Fernand is the oldest working man in France.
72
00:09:12,703 --> 00:09:17,305
During his life he witnessed great changes in the mountains.
73
00:09:20,614 --> 00:09:22,777
When he was young
74
00:09:23,522 --> 00:09:24,722
Why the temperature?
75
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:25,854
How?
76
00:09:25,855 --> 00:09:28,590
What was the weather like?
77
00:09:28,591 --> 00:09:30,047
when was i young?
78
00:09:30,048 --> 00:09:37,883
They were beautiful summers, but never
as hot as they are now.
79
00:09:39,382 --> 00:09:43,592
We used to graze cows here.
80
00:09:44,398 --> 00:09:47,115
They were hanging out at the edge of the glacier
81
00:09:47,116 --> 00:09:49,731
and they went up there to graze grass.
82
00:09:49,732 --> 00:09:51,972
Yes-yes
83
00:09:51,973 --> 00:09:56,089
Grazing grass is good.
84
00:09:56,090 --> 00:09:58,498
But not today.
85
00:10:01,348 --> 00:10:03,549
There were no ladders before.
86
00:10:04,489 --> 00:10:06,987
We were able to step directly onto the glacier.
87
00:10:11,674 --> 00:10:18,455
As you can see, it has melted roughly 150 meters since 1945.
88
00:10:20,730 --> 00:10:25,132
Geologists could tell you the exact data,
but that's all it seems to me.
89
00:10:26,587 --> 00:10:30,179
There's already a pretty sophisticated extension here at the bottom.
90
00:10:31,162 --> 00:10:34,480
Another ladder had to be installed this year.
91
00:10:35,156 --> 00:10:39,191
With MI, the glacier melted 7-10 meters. This year.
92
00:10:40,339 --> 00:10:42,540
And it will take even more in this heat.
93
00:10:42,541 --> 00:10:43,823
Unbelievable.
94
00:10:48,619 --> 00:10:52,529
It's strange to think that this is the Alps in December.
95
00:10:52,544 --> 00:10:54,937
In Chamonix on the other side of the Alps
96
00:10:54,938 --> 00:10:59,426
the lack of snow is dramatic and the temperature is exceptionally high.
97
00:10:59,610 --> 00:11:03,173
This is a glimpse into the future.
98
00:11:03,174 --> 00:11:09,692
More than half of European ski resorts may close
in the next 50 years due to global warming.
99
00:11:09,693 --> 00:11:16,277
So no one will ski, big deal.
Not so bad, right? Is that the point?
100
00:11:16,278 --> 00:11:21,959
Actually, it's not that you can't ski anymore,
or that the glaciers are melting.
101
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:27,301
The bottom line is that these are signs that the Earth's balance is being upset,
102
00:11:27,302 --> 00:11:36,073
and the conditions that contribute to life are changing.
103
00:11:39,542 --> 00:11:43,424
Things have changed because of global warming.
104
00:11:46,487 --> 00:11:49,273
I feel like we only have two seasons left.
105
00:11:51,397 --> 00:11:55,105
Winter turns directly into summer,
without us noticing.
106
00:12:00,176 --> 00:12:01,573
What can we do?
107
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,601
I don't know.
108
00:12:09,302 --> 00:12:10,954
I don't know.
109
00:12:11,014 --> 00:12:14,008
Glaciers are melting more every day.
110
00:12:18,461 --> 00:12:24,181
List: climate change,
major events to date.
111
00:12:40,203 --> 00:12:44,263
A few days before Katrina hit.
112
00:12:44,264 --> 00:12:48,611
Most people have an evacuation order
followed by leaving the city.
113
00:12:48,612 --> 00:12:53,798
But Alvin DuVernay of New Orleans
he has no intention of leaving.
114
00:12:55,775 --> 00:12:58,353
Saturday morning as I woke up something
there was a buzz around
115
00:12:58,354 --> 00:13:01,309
everyone was running up and down, and I:
what is it what is it
116
00:13:01,310 --> 00:13:02,459
You know, the hurricane is coming.
117
00:13:03,373 --> 00:13:08,646
I looked online, it was on every model,
headed straight for us. Just his eyes.
118
00:13:09,884 --> 00:13:11,924
It's a monster and it's coming.
119
00:13:13,987 --> 00:13:18,161
I went around the house a few times, put things up high.
120
00:13:18,162 --> 00:13:23,364
The Nepali silk rug on the top shelf and my guitar,
121
00:13:23,365 --> 00:13:25,376
i mean, you know, you do stuff like that, you know.
122
00:13:27,182 --> 00:13:32,312
I mean, another way, how are you going to do it
all your stuff and you go, that's option 1,
123
00:13:32,313 --> 00:13:36,238
probably the best.
But I didn't grow up with that opportunity.
124
00:13:36,281 --> 00:13:39,922
Alvin brought his 84-year-old father
125
00:13:39,923 --> 00:13:43,564
then they holed up in the house until the hurricane approached.
126
00:13:46,291 --> 00:13:49,850
You look into the eyes of Mother Nature,
usually quite benign.
127
00:13:49,851 --> 00:13:53,882
Then he approaches, methodically, relentlessly.
128
00:13:53,917 --> 00:13:58,838
Then he stands face to face and challenges, challenges.
129
00:13:58,873 --> 00:14:02,536
Come on, get your best weapon now,
come on, let's do it, let's dance!
130
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:19,112
I think we have to be very careful when a
we explain an event with global warming.
131
00:14:19,113 --> 00:14:25,117
However, the strength of hurricanes depends on the
from sea surface temperature,
132
00:14:25,118 --> 00:14:31,292
thus, an increase in the intensity of hurricanes
is related to global warming.
133
00:14:32,535 --> 00:14:37,781
By dawn, Alvin's house was chest-deep in water
and it kept rising.
134
00:14:37,782 --> 00:14:41,686
So he helped Alvin Sr. into the boat
and looked for land.
135
00:14:44,039 --> 00:14:49,263
The boat is already floating, so it's not a big deal
to launch, it is on water.
136
00:14:49,264 --> 00:14:54,440
We can't really talk about landmarks,
quite an unusual sight,
137
00:14:54,441 --> 00:14:56,672
as you walk through the neighborhood at canopy level.
138
00:14:56,707 --> 00:15:02,549
Then, all of a sudden, you notice that many people have stayed here.
139
00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:05,908
There are no patrols, no police...
140
00:15:05,909 --> 00:15:10,953
Most of the National Guard were elsewhere in the world,
In Iraq, Afghanistan.
141
00:15:11,484 --> 00:15:15,928
Alvin rescued 200 people in 2 days
along with their pets.
142
00:15:15,929 --> 00:15:21,840
Among them, a 95-year-old man and a 6-week-old baby.
143
00:15:23,935 --> 00:15:30,405
When I lifted that little basket through the window,
it was a very... very special moment.
144
00:15:30,406 --> 00:15:40,648
So peacefully, with your eyes closed... you just stop
on the road, you come to a complete stop
145
00:15:40,649 --> 00:15:46,498
you take a deep breath you know
nothing else is worth it.
146
00:15:48,761 --> 00:15:51,016
Alvin's neighbors are lucky
147
00:15:51,017 --> 00:15:55,604
Hurricane Katrina is America's worst
had a weather-related event.
148
00:15:55,999 --> 00:15:59,021
And that was just a taste of what was to come.
149
00:16:01,917 --> 00:16:06,232
"It's our fault." - after years of debate a
some of the world's leading scientists came up with...
150
00:16:06,285 --> 00:16:10,058
"Without a doubt." so they said, human activity...
151
00:16:10,059 --> 00:16:17,495
It contributes to the Earth's climate change
and this question is no longer a matter of debate.
152
00:16:18,331 --> 00:16:19,954
in Andermatt
153
00:16:19,955 --> 00:16:24,199
the glacier was covered with a special protective sheet,
to reduce summer melting.
154
00:16:24,234 --> 00:16:29,179
One of the things I do for the environment is to 30 °C
I connect with Ariel. (translation: SA8 even breaks down)
155
00:16:29,180 --> 00:16:33,747
This offsets those flights
which I do during my work.
156
00:16:33,761 --> 00:16:39,680
David Cameron is also made from old firemen's trousers,
wears recycled shoes.
157
00:16:39,681 --> 00:16:43,803
All environmental pollution and its effects on the climate
despite efforts against its effect
158
00:16:43,804 --> 00:16:49,700
greenhouse gas emissions reached a record value,
and no sign of abating.
159
00:16:49,701 --> 00:16:55,301
The Kyoto Convention and many carbon dioxide emissions
despite chatter about cuts,
160
00:16:55,302 --> 00:17:01,176
levels of this key greenhouse gas are everything
is rising faster than before.
161
00:17:02,054 --> 00:17:09,745
At 6:30 a.m. on a cool fall morning, Alvin goes to work,
to find more oil.
162
00:17:09,846 --> 00:17:16,877
Ironically, the oil industry off the coast of New Orleans
the hurricane caused serious damage to facilities,
163
00:17:16,878 --> 00:17:21,224
but Shell quickly set about correcting the errors,
and just 9 months later,
164
00:17:21,225 --> 00:17:24,402
the wells are working and everyone is back to work.
165
00:17:27,481 --> 00:17:33,265
The oil was created when the ancient plant
life forms absorbed the energy of the ancient Sun.
166
00:17:33,266 --> 00:17:39,916
After they died, they settled to the bottom of the ocean
along with tons of carcasses of aquatic animals.
167
00:17:39,917 --> 00:17:44,510
Over millions of years, the temperature has increased, and this
the organic matter gradually boiled together,
168
00:17:44,511 --> 00:17:48,168
while the energy of the Sun was finally transformed into oil.
169
00:17:48,169 --> 00:17:53,518
150 million years later Shell geologists
they investigate where the oil may be,
170
00:17:53,519 --> 00:17:57,906
then they drill 3 miles deep into the seabed,
to collect samples.
171
00:18:03,368 --> 00:18:06,355
- Here's Al, you do it!
- Thanks...
172
00:18:06,356 --> 00:18:12,850
We collect the samples and then examine the
their fossil content. Microscopic fossils.
173
00:18:12,851 --> 00:18:19,425
It's just another geological tool that increases
the probability of finding oil.
174
00:18:22,273 --> 00:18:25,064
In my opinion, it may be conceit,
175
00:18:25,065 --> 00:18:27,709
but it's quite a challenge to try that,
176
00:18:27,710 --> 00:18:31,805
try to figure it out or... break it down,
you know, time itself.
177
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,410
A few thousand years ago
178
00:18:34,411 --> 00:18:40,821
it can be used for growing crops or raising animals
energy was limited by the sunlight falling on Earth every day.
179
00:18:40,822 --> 00:18:41,827
But today
180
00:18:41,828 --> 00:18:46,208
we consume hundreds of years of sunlight each year.
181
00:18:46,209 --> 00:18:49,991
Every element of modern life is literally made of oil.
182
00:18:49,992 --> 00:18:53,790
From the CD to the bag, medicine and computer.
183
00:18:53,791 --> 00:18:57,226
From clothes and carpets to hair gel and mobile phones.
184
00:18:57,227 --> 00:19:00,056
This is amazingly useful material.
185
00:19:00,057 --> 00:19:01,651
Then there's the food,
186
00:19:01,652 --> 00:19:07,399
every calorie we eat costs 80 calories of oil
due to production, packaging, cooling and transport.
187
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:14,482
Fertilizers made from fossil fuels are now approx. 2
they provide for billions of people who would otherwise not be able to live.
188
00:19:14,683 --> 00:19:21,286
It would be wise to use the remaining oil to
let's build a society that works without it.
189
00:19:21,287 --> 00:19:26,386
But instead, tens of millions of barrels per day
we burn it unnecessarily.
190
00:19:26,387 --> 00:19:31,629
After about 40 years it will run out and there will be pretty much nothing left
for the next generations.
191
00:19:35,702 --> 00:19:38,640
And then you see it and you smell it and you know
192
00:19:38,641 --> 00:19:43,558
dirty and disgusting and smells so much like money
you know, just beautiful.
193
00:19:43,559 --> 00:19:52,123
13 billion pounds in 2005,
1.5 million pounds per hour, 400 pounds per second.
194
00:19:52,124 --> 00:19:55,656
Most of this profit from here,
he is from nigeria
195
00:19:55,657 --> 00:19:59,938
where most of the population is less,
like living on a dollar a day.
196
00:19:59,939 --> 00:20:02,230
We drink this water.
197
00:20:02,897 --> 00:20:05,505
It's full of frogs. With toads.
198
00:20:05,941 --> 00:20:07,735
You can find any pathogen in this.
199
00:20:07,736 --> 00:20:11,586
You can see with a microscope how many diseases are in it.
200
00:20:12,272 --> 00:20:16,630
We thought that if we showed Shell our settlement,
201
00:20:16,631 --> 00:20:18,543
then this water is replaced.
202
00:20:18,544 --> 00:20:19,544
But nothing has changed.
203
00:20:24,381 --> 00:20:26,901
This is our health center...
204
00:20:26,936 --> 00:20:31,005
22-year-old Layefa Malin wants to be a doctor,
205
00:20:31,006 --> 00:20:33,672
to then work in Cocojabanee, his village,
206
00:20:33,673 --> 00:20:36,510
where Shell started building this health center.
207
00:20:36,511 --> 00:20:39,358
It's been like this for three years now.
208
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,135
But we still want them to come finish it.
209
00:20:42,279 --> 00:20:47,247
Like hundreds of other community investments
In the Niger Delta, construction was abandoned.
210
00:20:47,248 --> 00:20:50,709
According to Shell, because of the threat of kidnapping.
211
00:20:52,780 --> 00:20:57,360
13% of oil revenues should be spent on community development.
212
00:20:57,361 --> 00:21:01,718
But the part of the locals almost completely disappears
in the corrupt political system.
213
00:21:01,753 --> 00:21:05,359
So even though West Africa
is in the most profitable oil region,
214
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:10,998
There is no health care in the village of Layefa,
no high school, no electricity and no drinking water.
215
00:21:13,023 --> 00:21:16,108
In 2004, I think a lot of people died.
216
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:17,537
Lots of them.
217
00:21:18,019 --> 00:21:20,042
I think almost twenty.
218
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,614
Especially children.
219
00:21:23,671 --> 00:21:26,798
My mother's child too, my sister...
220
00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:28,623
He also died of cholera.
221
00:21:31,719 --> 00:21:34,738
I think my sister's death really motivates me.
222
00:21:34,739 --> 00:21:36,500
To be a good doctor.
223
00:21:37,009 --> 00:21:38,200
Not just a doctor, a good doctor.
224
00:21:39,577 --> 00:21:42,651
I got typhus because of the water.
225
00:21:47,077 --> 00:21:50,004
You know, it costs a lot to be a medical student.
226
00:21:52,477 --> 00:21:55,261
I have to pay for accommodation and other things too.
227
00:21:55,262 --> 00:21:57,415
And I want to wear nice clothes.
228
00:22:00,125 --> 00:22:02,233
So from this year I will be fishing...
229
00:22:02,234 --> 00:22:04,066
for about four years.
230
00:22:05,046 --> 00:22:06,999
Layefa, put your oar there!
231
00:22:09,839 --> 00:22:12,408
Put the paddle on the other side.
232
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,700
High pressure
gas line
Anchoring is prohibited
233
00:22:14,701 --> 00:22:16,295
The fishing is not very good.
234
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:18,000
Because the leaking oil...
235
00:22:18,001 --> 00:22:20,000
kills most fish.
236
00:22:21,999 --> 00:22:25,277
There are no longer any big fish, only small ones.
237
00:22:26,708 --> 00:22:29,100
Take out the net quickly so we can go!
238
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,873
We only caught two fish.
239
00:22:34,468 --> 00:22:36,787
Sometimes the oil soaks the fish completely.
240
00:22:38,674 --> 00:22:40,904
So you have to wash the fish, for example with Omo.
241
00:22:46,159 --> 00:22:47,812
They say in the news that...
242
00:22:47,813 --> 00:22:52,946
today a thousand... or a million
we produced barrels of oil.
243
00:22:53,942 --> 00:22:55,707
But instead of being rich...
244
00:22:55,708 --> 00:22:58,015
rather, we will become poorer and poorer.
245
00:23:00,877 --> 00:23:04,800
Layefa describes the phenomenon of the "resource curse".
246
00:23:04,835 --> 00:23:09,921
Paradoxically, when oil is found in a country,
then poverty generally increases.
247
00:23:09,922 --> 00:23:12,639
As oil money is concentrated in the hands of a small group,
248
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,801
the country's agriculture, education and health
they are neglected and therefore they often collapse.
249
00:23:19,804 --> 00:23:23,621
The health problems of the locals are only aggravated by the gas flares,
250
00:23:23,622 --> 00:23:26,102
which burn day and night throughout the Niger Delta,
251
00:23:26,103 --> 00:23:30,893
asthma, bronchitis, skin diseases and cancer are all linked to it.
252
00:23:33,015 --> 00:23:38,242
This gas comes to the surface together with the oil,
but as it is dangerous to transport,
253
00:23:38,332 --> 00:23:44,322
it is not easy to sell in overseas markets.
It could be used for cooking and heating in Nigeria,
254
00:23:44,484 --> 00:23:49,071
but building the infrastructure is expensive,
so the oil companies just burn it.
255
00:23:50,323 --> 00:23:54,625
Flares emit approximately 70 million tons of carbon dioxide per year,
256
00:23:54,849 --> 00:23:58,916
which is the annual output of more than 10 million UK households.
257
00:24:00,083 --> 00:24:02,154
Because they have money,
258
00:24:02,955 --> 00:24:04,980
and large companies,
259
00:24:05,143 --> 00:24:08,466
they do whatever they want.
260
00:24:11,702 --> 00:24:16,935
Why American cities are designed to
to make it almost impossible to exist without a car?
261
00:24:17,618 --> 00:24:20,277
Why was it bought up and destroyed
262
00:24:20,278 --> 00:24:24,334
deliberately railway lines in hundreds of cities,
like New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles?
263
00:24:24,369 --> 00:24:28,135
Why was the electric car rejected?
264
00:24:28,885 --> 00:24:31,008
Why were we (USA), next to Australia,
265
00:24:31,009 --> 00:24:34,957
the only ones who didn't sign the original Kyoto Climate Agreement?
266
00:24:34,958 --> 00:24:41,362
Why was an oil company representative able to change the
government's official report on global warming?
267
00:24:43,719 --> 00:24:49,831
Commissioned by the tobacco industry, smoking
an advertising company that convinces people of its health,
268
00:24:49,832 --> 00:24:54,438
later why the oil industry companies use that
convince you of the uncertainty of climate change?
269
00:24:54,439 --> 00:24:57,276
It is also doubtful that climate change
is it partly caused by humans?
270
00:24:57,277 --> 00:24:59,999
YES
scientists: less than 1%
public opinion: 60%
271
00:25:00,090 --> 00:25:04,999
Alternative energies have been available to us for 50 years
stand, why did we only use it barely?
272
00:25:06,510 --> 00:25:09,901
Why were the solar panels removed from the roof of the White House?
273
00:25:11,059 --> 00:25:13,712
Because already in the early days of the industry
274
00:25:13,713 --> 00:25:18,260
the oil men and their immeasurable profits
had a bad influence on the country's leaders.
275
00:25:18,261 --> 00:25:20,808
And now they are the leaders of the country.
276
00:25:24,537 --> 00:25:28,800
And they give the money too. (top: campaign contributions)
(Republicans and Democrats)
277
00:25:28,881 --> 00:25:31,324
The oil industry not only hangs in the balance with the government,
278
00:25:31,325 --> 00:25:32,598
but the government itself.
279
00:25:38,509 --> 00:25:41,787
Now Layefa goes to a nearby village,
280
00:25:41,788 --> 00:25:45,301
To Odiama, where the government staged a bloodbath.
281
00:25:45,977 --> 00:25:50,236
The village was in dispute regarding the ownership of a plot of land,
282
00:25:50,237 --> 00:25:52,414
on which Shell planned to drill for oil.
283
00:25:52,415 --> 00:25:55,706
The government claimed that the village harbored terrorists,
284
00:25:55,707 --> 00:25:59,107
and when the army was sent to find the terrorists,
285
00:25:59,108 --> 00:26:01,572
the villagers opened fire on the soldiers.
Odiama village
286
00:26:03,012 --> 00:26:07,720
Layefa came to hear the villagers' version
about what happened from Omiekma Wekid.
287
00:26:08,362 --> 00:26:11,300
14 motorboats came.
288
00:26:12,582 --> 00:26:14,764
Full of armed men.
289
00:26:14,765 --> 00:26:17,443
Then we saw four warships.
290
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:20,474
The next thing we heard was "boom", houses were on fire.
291
00:26:20,475 --> 00:26:22,163
We said "Come on, run!"
292
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,247
The whole island shook.
293
00:26:25,343 --> 00:26:27,138
There was a building here.
294
00:26:28,700 --> 00:26:30,200
They came and set it on fire.
295
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,300
Who managed to escape...
296
00:26:32,301 --> 00:26:34,744
He ran into the forest.
297
00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:38,298
Two children died here.
298
00:26:39,876 --> 00:26:42,929
I stayed in the forest for two weeks.
299
00:26:43,838 --> 00:26:44,783
No food...
300
00:26:45,407 --> 00:26:46,589
We collected letters.
301
00:26:47,802 --> 00:26:50,636
In the thicket, you can imagine what the water will be like.
302
00:26:50,637 --> 00:26:52,596
We drank that water.
303
00:26:52,597 --> 00:26:54,357
And lots of children died.
304
00:26:54,794 --> 00:26:56,882
I was pregnant at the time.
305
00:26:57,781 --> 00:26:59,797
Because of the dirty water we drank...
306
00:27:00,427 --> 00:27:01,953
when you were born...
307
00:27:01,988 --> 00:27:03,748
He had vomiting and diarrhea.
308
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,278
Then I lost it.
309
00:27:13,658 --> 00:27:17,460
Amnesty International investigated the carnage and found
310
00:27:17,534 --> 00:27:20,797
that although the government is responsible for the murders,
311
00:27:20,832 --> 00:27:25,847
shell nigeria should have ensured that
your activity should not contribute to the conflict.
312
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,912
Those who remained were rounded up and beaten.
313
00:27:31,913 --> 00:27:33,647
The girls were raped.
314
00:27:37,808 --> 00:27:40,543
This was my grandfather's home.
315
00:27:40,823 --> 00:27:42,791
He lived here with his family.
316
00:27:43,474 --> 00:27:45,573
His home was set on fire.
317
00:27:45,574 --> 00:27:47,001
He was killed.
318
00:27:47,050 --> 00:27:48,045
Did they burn him?
319
00:27:48,046 --> 00:27:49,046
He was shot.
320
00:27:50,912 --> 00:27:53,417
Little children hid in our houses...
321
00:27:53,668 --> 00:27:55,055
they were burned.
322
00:27:55,236 --> 00:27:57,207
All the old men and women
323
00:27:57,208 --> 00:27:58,728
the blind too...
324
00:27:58,729 --> 00:28:00,455
they burned them all.
325
00:28:07,300 --> 00:28:12,903
War for resources
History is littered with corpses of people who
whose possessions were worth stealing.
326
00:28:14,624 --> 00:28:16,474
animals,
327
00:28:17,997 --> 00:28:19,470
water,
328
00:28:25,258 --> 00:28:26,838
shiny things
329
00:28:30,405 --> 00:28:32,492
farmlands,
330
00:28:37,327 --> 00:28:39,172
spices.
331
00:28:44,664 --> 00:28:47,826
Hmm! Nutmeg slice. Tea?
332
00:28:52,863 --> 00:28:56,869
In terms of perishables,
there is a continent that had it all
333
00:28:58,012 --> 00:29:05,802
ivory, copper, cotton, rubber, wood, tin, gold, diamonds, and people.
334
00:29:08,515 --> 00:29:12,239
As cheap energy, slaves were unsurpassed,
335
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,431
until a less problematic energy source was found,
336
00:29:15,432 --> 00:29:17,445
and a new era began.
337
00:29:17,596 --> 00:29:20,645
The number of people has quintupled.
338
00:29:20,646 --> 00:29:23,644
And as each person wants more and more,
339
00:29:23,645 --> 00:29:29,057
oil became "The raw material",
which is worth fighting for in every part of the world.
340
00:30:17,613 --> 00:30:20,159
So they want to know the real reason for the war in Iraq?
341
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,511
According to former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan
a simple 3-letter word is the answer.
342
00:30:24,546 --> 00:30:27,036
Not WMD, but OIL.
343
00:30:28,568 --> 00:30:33,708
"It saddens me that it is politically unpleasant
to admit what everyone knows:
344
00:30:33,709 --> 00:30:36,968
the war in Iraq is mainly about oil."
345
00:30:36,974 --> 00:30:38,868
You may have heard the former chairman of Shell,
346
00:30:38,869 --> 00:30:44,058
who said at the weekend that the price of oil could reach 150
dollars per barrel when world production peaks;
347
00:30:44,059 --> 00:30:48,313
this is not very good news for a country whose entire economy
348
00:30:48,314 --> 00:30:50,871
not to mention the whole way of life,
349
00:30:50,872 --> 00:30:53,279
it is based on cheap oil.
350
00:30:57,090 --> 00:30:58,710
Jordan, Amman
351
00:31:04,619 --> 00:31:06,796
We came here because of the war.
352
00:31:08,990 --> 00:31:10,897
We kept trying...
353
00:31:11,990 --> 00:31:14,019
to cross the border...
354
00:31:14,425 --> 00:31:16,743
but they always sent us back to Iraq.
355
00:31:17,266 --> 00:31:19,277
But in the end we managed to get through.
356
00:31:21,753 --> 00:31:23,925
We were very happy when we got here.
357
00:31:24,380 --> 00:31:26,207
Then we rented this place.
358
00:31:34,794 --> 00:31:36,843
Our father had a donkey.
359
00:31:37,962 --> 00:31:40,437
We messed around with it.
360
00:31:41,235 --> 00:31:43,127
I was scared...
361
00:31:43,128 --> 00:31:44,844
when he ran fast.
362
00:31:49,673 --> 00:31:51,697
When the Americans came...
363
00:31:52,550 --> 00:31:54,206
in the middle of the night...
364
00:31:54,515 --> 00:31:55,631
We had to escape.
365
00:31:56,420 --> 00:31:57,312
We thought...
366
00:31:57,313 --> 00:31:58,859
They're killing us.
367
00:31:58,860 --> 00:32:01,451
When we went back the next morning...
368
00:32:01,452 --> 00:32:03,541
we found the carcass of our donkey.
369
00:32:06,295 --> 00:32:10,220
Our father was the best father in all of Iraq.
370
00:32:11,882 --> 00:32:14,391
But the Americans came...
371
00:32:15,892 --> 00:32:18,039
... and killed.
372
00:32:19,691 --> 00:32:22,911
We found him in the morning, he was dead.
373
00:32:29,742 --> 00:32:31,067
I wish he hadn't died.
374
00:32:32,815 --> 00:32:35,000
I can't believe he was killed.
375
00:32:49,449 --> 00:32:52,859
Throughout our history, it has been the custom to
376
00:32:52,860 --> 00:32:55,206
that we left behind a better world,
377
00:32:55,207 --> 00:32:57,740
as we found, this was the development,
378
00:32:57,741 --> 00:33:02,190
the wheel, law and order, penicillin.
379
00:33:02,191 --> 00:33:06,327
This was our obligation to our children and grandchildren;
380
00:33:06,328 --> 00:33:11,289
my children were not angry
for neglecting my duty
381
00:33:11,290 --> 00:33:16,537
they were too busy surviving to
to waste energy on reproach,
382
00:33:16,538 --> 00:33:22,595
while trying to fight food riots,
with refugee camps and the collapse of society.
383
00:33:22,596 --> 00:33:25,909
But I think my grandchildren would be mad,
384
00:33:25,910 --> 00:33:28,893
if they could live to adulthood.
385
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,625
Hi Grandma!
386
00:33:41,626 --> 00:33:43,178
Hi Jean!
387
00:33:45,695 --> 00:33:47,910
Give me a kiss!
388
00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:56,300
Our generation is to blame.
389
00:33:57,231 --> 00:34:00,882
Continuous development, development, development.
390
00:34:01,424 --> 00:34:03,300
We asked for more and more
391
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,088
from the planet.
392
00:34:07,957 --> 00:34:09,589
Look, Roe, wild tracks!
393
00:34:09,986 --> 00:34:14,188
My parents witnessed the arrival of cars and airplanes.
394
00:34:17,014 --> 00:34:20,200
Now the children go to school in their own cars.
395
00:34:20,201 --> 00:34:21,201
Well, soon...
396
00:34:24,119 --> 00:34:26,800
They are much more advanced than us.
397
00:34:27,450 --> 00:34:28,441
Because they have many more items.
398
00:34:28,984 --> 00:34:31,456
They see more on TV.
399
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,800
But that doesn't mean they're happier.
400
00:34:44,844 --> 00:34:46,521
When we were young
401
00:34:46,522 --> 00:34:48,343
we didn't have running water in the house.
402
00:34:48,967 --> 00:34:51,345
We had to carry the water,
403
00:34:51,346 --> 00:34:53,100
which taught us to be thrifty.
404
00:34:54,226 --> 00:34:55,834
So is electricity.
405
00:34:57,398 --> 00:34:59,920
Today it is clear, the sun is shining,
406
00:35:01,364 --> 00:35:03,289
so you don't need electricity.
407
00:35:04,088 --> 00:35:06,255
Our parents taught us this,
408
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,719
but we didn't think about teaching our children.
409
00:35:17,611 --> 00:35:20,020
Skiing in the desert
410
00:35:23,039 --> 00:35:24,928
outdoor air heating,
411
00:35:26,357 --> 00:35:28,189
lighting of empty offices,
412
00:35:28,190 --> 00:35:33,986
energy is so ridiculously cheap that
economically it is perfectly worth the waste.
413
00:35:33,987 --> 00:35:40,145
China is the new bad guy because it builds a new power plant every four days.
414
00:35:40,146 --> 00:35:43,088
But a quarter of this energy is produced for us.
415
00:35:43,089 --> 00:35:48,508
Western companies pay poor wages to Chinese workers,
to make lousy plastic toys,
416
00:35:48,509 --> 00:35:51,325
then shipped to Europe and wrapped in even more plastic.
417
00:35:51,326 --> 00:35:56,075
The consumer drives out of town
to a hypermarket with his petrol guzzler.
418
00:35:56,076 --> 00:35:59,428
A plastic toy with plastic packaging is placed in a plastic bag.
419
00:35:59,429 --> 00:36:01,563
It broke after two days.
420
00:36:01,564 --> 00:36:06,914
and goes back to the Chinese dump where
stay there for about... hmm... 50 thousand years?
421
00:36:08,250 --> 00:36:12,224
Bottled water is much better than tap - wow
422
00:36:12,225 --> 00:36:16,528
Bottled water is much better than tap - wow
423
00:36:16,529 --> 00:36:21,184
[42 million of us lose weight every day]
... From a mountain-mountain source...
424
00:36:21,185 --> 00:36:23,459
wastes 800 times more energy,
425
00:36:23,460 --> 00:36:25,616
and ten thousand times dearer to you.
426
00:36:25,617 --> 00:36:28,010
[Not even healthier]
A shrewd decision.
427
00:36:34,289 --> 00:36:38,300
When I built my house, in 63-65
428
00:36:39,252 --> 00:36:41,473
That's when the Mont Blanc tunnel was built.
429
00:36:43,554 --> 00:36:45,349
We didn't notice it at first
430
00:36:46,003 --> 00:36:48,086
but we left
431
00:36:48,603 --> 00:36:50,960
to be run over by cars.
432
00:36:53,063 --> 00:36:54,955
Then the trucks.
433
00:36:56,622 --> 00:36:58,973
First, only a few
434
00:37:01,228 --> 00:37:04,356
then the road was expanded to four lanes.
435
00:37:05,646 --> 00:37:07,735
and now 4 or 5 thousand trucks
436
00:37:07,936 --> 00:37:10,276
comes through every day.
437
00:37:12,351 --> 00:37:13,277
A potato.
438
00:37:13,678 --> 00:37:14,578
Two fries.
439
00:37:15,879 --> 00:37:16,879
Three.
440
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,080
Four, five.
441
00:37:21,081 --> 00:37:22,181
Six.
442
00:37:23,214 --> 00:37:23,982
Done.
443
00:37:26,025 --> 00:37:27,707
Most come from the north
444
00:37:28,405 --> 00:37:30,244
with fries.
445
00:37:31,284 --> 00:37:32,809
They go through the tunnel
446
00:37:32,910 --> 00:37:33,810
to be washed in Italy.
447
00:37:34,311 --> 00:37:35,711
Far away in Italy.
448
00:37:36,712 --> 00:37:39,046
Then they come back as puree.
449
00:37:40,900 --> 00:37:42,272
So is milk.
450
00:37:42,573 --> 00:37:44,603
They take it to make yogurt.
451
00:37:45,504 --> 00:37:47,404
Then they bring it back.
452
00:37:48,505 --> 00:37:50,392
This is crazy. It's madness.
453
00:37:56,276 --> 00:37:58,136
Americans are not like us.
454
00:37:58,437 --> 00:38:00,556
We wear the shoes until they break.
455
00:38:01,057 --> 00:38:02,605
If you have a little mistake...
456
00:38:02,806 --> 00:38:04,389
they throw it away.
457
00:38:06,245 --> 00:38:08,240
Americans, British. All of them.
458
00:38:12,541 --> 00:38:14,117
Here comes their old shoes...
459
00:38:14,318 --> 00:38:15,900
in large containers.
460
00:38:16,932 --> 00:38:18,703
We buy it, fix it...
461
00:38:18,962 --> 00:38:19,704
and sell it.
462
00:39:04,047 --> 00:39:05,847
We have a brother, Malik.
463
00:39:06,984 --> 00:39:08,570
When the bombing started...
464
00:39:08,971 --> 00:39:10,951
a plane flew over him.
465
00:39:11,338 --> 00:39:13,207
She was wearing a nylon dress.
466
00:39:13,913 --> 00:39:15,267
Iraq, Baghdad
467
00:39:16,060 --> 00:39:18,016
So when it caught fire,
468
00:39:18,417 --> 00:39:20,169
He was very badly burned.
469
00:39:20,870 --> 00:39:23,847
His clothes clung to him and tore his skin.
470
00:39:24,955 --> 00:39:26,733
We came to Jordan little by little.
471
00:39:26,934 --> 00:39:28,000
Most of us got through
472
00:39:29,073 --> 00:39:31,954
but Malik was stopped and sent back to Iraq.
473
00:39:32,355 --> 00:39:34,543
It was sent back eight times.
474
00:39:45,452 --> 00:39:46,613
If Malik comes,
475
00:39:47,514 --> 00:39:48,601
and he doesn't have a phone,
476
00:39:48,902 --> 00:39:50,208
I swear I'll give him mine.
477
00:39:52,782 --> 00:39:55,192
And you can help mend shoes on Fridays.
478
00:39:59,193 --> 00:40:00,317
Help me up.
479
00:40:00,318 --> 00:40:01,483
Come on.
480
00:40:09,222 --> 00:40:11,148
If I see an American, I will kill him.
481
00:40:12,350 --> 00:40:14,240
Because they killed our father.
482
00:40:31,292 --> 00:40:31,979
HEY!
483
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:33,780
Down!
484
00:40:34,881 --> 00:40:36,281
I don't want to.
485
00:40:37,106 --> 00:40:38,888
Al Jazeera here!
486
00:40:39,185 --> 00:40:41,586
Call our studio on 007945!
487
00:40:43,032 --> 00:40:44,648
Look, this is Al Jazeera!
488
00:40:46,812 --> 00:40:48,461
You can win four Hammers,
489
00:40:49,585 --> 00:40:50,729
and four leisure cars!
490
00:40:52,405 --> 00:40:55,333
Many, many ideas have already tried to conquer the world,
491
00:40:55,396 --> 00:40:57,745
but only one won.
492
00:40:58,070 --> 00:40:59,055
CONSUMER SOCIETY
493
00:40:59,056 --> 00:41:01,475
3000 advertisements bombard us every day.
494
00:41:01,476 --> 00:41:05,217
They say we'll be happier
more attractive with better skin,
495
00:41:05,218 --> 00:41:07,233
just by buying their products.
496
00:41:07,234 --> 00:41:08,084
To achieve this,
497
00:41:08,085 --> 00:41:12,205
they create stimuli and insatiable desires,
to buy more and more.
498
00:41:12,206 --> 00:41:15,563
Americans have been getting the ads for the longest time,
499
00:41:15,564 --> 00:41:19,162
and now they consume twice as much energy as a European,
500
00:41:19,163 --> 00:41:21,273
nine times more than a Chinese,
501
00:41:21,274 --> 00:41:23,241
fifteen times more than an Indian,
502
00:41:23,242 --> 00:41:26,036
and fifty times more than a Kenyan.
503
00:41:26,037 --> 00:41:32,154
If all 6.5 billion people on Earth consumed as much,
like a European or a Japanese,
504
00:41:32,155 --> 00:41:35,672
then we would need two more planets worth of resources.
505
00:41:35,673 --> 00:41:39,412
If everyone consumed like an American, Australian or Canadian,
506
00:41:39,413 --> 00:41:41,022
then you need four more.
507
00:41:41,023 --> 00:41:45,051
And around 2040, when approx. there would be 9 billion of us,
508
00:41:45,052 --> 00:41:46,876
need two more.
509
00:41:46,877 --> 00:41:49,869
The only goal of capitalism is continuous growth,
510
00:41:49,870 --> 00:41:53,912
but continuous growth on a single, non-growing planet...
511
00:41:53,913 --> 00:41:55,521
it is impossible.
512
00:41:55,522 --> 00:41:58,278
The consumer economic system is fatal
513
00:41:58,279 --> 00:42:01,477
not only for the planet, but also for most people.
514
00:42:01,478 --> 00:42:07,317
400 years of capitalism made it possible for the richest
1% to own 40% of the whole,
515
00:42:07,318 --> 00:42:10,328
while half of the population, who are the poorest,
only 1% gets.
516
00:42:10,329 --> 00:42:15,517
But if anyone wants to live differently,
they treat it unfairly.
517
00:42:15,518 --> 00:42:18,741
Since profit is the only measure,
518
00:42:18,742 --> 00:42:22,057
the destruction of the planet is embedded in the system,
519
00:42:22,058 --> 00:42:26,077
and the runaway climate change is not too surprising either.
520
00:42:44,722 --> 00:42:47,896
The logo is effective if it is colorful, you know... like, you know..
521
00:42:47,897 --> 00:42:50,461
for Orange Telecom, orange-black for them.
522
00:42:50,462 --> 00:42:52,435
Ours is the fluorescent color.
523
00:42:57,398 --> 00:43:00,732
Everything changes in the economy,
as soon as an airline lands.
524
00:43:00,733 --> 00:43:03,524
Because basically, people are much faster
can manage their business affairs,
525
00:43:04,824 --> 00:43:07,991
if the business grows much faster,
people will have more disposable income,
526
00:43:07,992 --> 00:43:10,194
then, you know, the consumer society is created,
527
00:43:10,195 --> 00:43:13,804
and you know if basic consumption is created somewhere in the peripheral area,
528
00:43:14,808 --> 00:43:17,227
things are pretty much the same as they are in America.
529
00:43:22,401 --> 00:43:25,027
I'm not happy living like this.
530
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,303
I should be in a better place at the age of 23.
531
00:43:28,580 --> 00:43:30,614
I really want this place to be like...
532
00:43:30,875 --> 00:43:31,758
America
533
00:43:32,422 --> 00:43:33,312
In a comfortable house.
534
00:43:33,913 --> 00:43:35,032
With flashy cars.
535
00:43:35,534 --> 00:43:36,535
It is good to drink water.
536
00:43:36,536 --> 00:43:37,527
Eat good food.
537
00:43:38,499 --> 00:43:40,270
I really want people to...
538
00:43:40,471 --> 00:43:41,929
at least ours, I myself...
539
00:43:42,330 --> 00:43:43,496
so we can live.
540
00:43:44,497 --> 00:43:45,527
It's a beautiful life.
541
00:43:45,828 --> 00:43:48,353
If you live a life like this, you don't even want to die.
542
00:43:48,901 --> 00:43:50,570
You would simply stay here on Earth forever.
543
00:44:15,004 --> 00:44:17,573
Jeh is now traveling to Airbus headquarters in France,
544
00:44:17,974 --> 00:44:22,247
as they provide him with 26 planes in the first 3 years.
545
00:44:22,248 --> 00:44:27,857
We have only 200 commercial aircraft in India,
800 for China.
546
00:44:28,607 --> 00:44:31,504
Ultimately, you know, we still have a long way to go,
547
00:44:31,505 --> 00:44:33,491
to catch up with China, to catch up with Europe,
548
00:44:33,492 --> 00:44:37,584
or, you know, take an American airline,
Southwest has 417 aircraft.
549
00:44:37,750 --> 00:44:40,329
This is twice as many planes as our country has.
550
00:44:45,774 --> 00:44:48,955
You know, for me it can all be summed up in one simple sentence.
551
00:44:48,956 --> 00:44:50,390
Things will get better.
552
00:45:26,575 --> 00:45:29,700
There was 10 feet (~3.5m) of water in my house,
553
00:45:29,701 --> 00:45:34,297
and marinated in this... this mud for almost 3 weeks.
554
00:45:34,332 --> 00:45:37,207
So my house is currently demolished.
555
00:45:37,208 --> 00:45:40,972
A piece of empty land waiting for a new house.
556
00:45:42,626 --> 00:45:45,411
I lost everything, everything I had
557
00:45:45,412 --> 00:45:50,924
I mean everything, from family chattels
to the kitchen paper towel,
558
00:45:50,925 --> 00:45:54,538
and I could list everything between these two.
559
00:46:02,711 --> 00:46:06,770
Two beautiful oak trees remained,
560
00:46:06,805 --> 00:46:10,936
you know, local, native,
"quercus virginiana"s, live oaks,
561
00:46:10,971 --> 00:46:13,610
which spread over the whole space,
beautiful-beautiful creatures.
562
00:46:13,622 --> 00:46:18,239
That's all that's left, two old oaks and the empty lawn,
everything else is there.
563
00:46:19,419 --> 00:46:20,998
It sucks.
564
00:46:25,022 --> 00:46:31,777
Losing everything... so depressing.
565
00:46:31,778 --> 00:46:36,540
And the sorrow that comes with it is very deep.
566
00:46:40,588 --> 00:46:45,682
We had an unspoken agreement,
that we pretend there is no climate change,
567
00:46:45,683 --> 00:46:49,675
that if we are not aware of it,
then it won't be real.
568
00:46:53,605 --> 00:46:58,166
However, not everyone, some shouted: "There is a fire!"
569
00:47:03,753 --> 00:47:04,961
Good day, come in!
570
00:47:04,962 --> 00:47:08,406
One of the biggest problems with climate change is that
571
00:47:08,407 --> 00:47:13,798
the effects of our emissions today are not present
in the temperature data
572
00:47:13,833 --> 00:47:16,444
for another 30-40 years, so there is a delay in the system.
573
00:47:16,445 --> 00:47:19,377
Which makes it difficult for people to react,
574
00:47:19,378 --> 00:47:23,072
since evolution is to overcome immediate dangers
raised us up
575
00:47:23,073 --> 00:47:25,013
such as approaching armies or dangerous animals.
576
00:47:25,014 --> 00:47:30,344
We are not well equipped to handle it sensibly
long-term problems such as climate change.
577
00:47:31,020 --> 00:47:33,857
So we have to act now
prevent a future event.
578
00:47:33,858 --> 00:47:37,478
If we wait for the temperature to change
consequences reach us,
579
00:47:37,479 --> 00:47:39,133
then it will be too late to stop it.
580
00:47:39,134 --> 00:47:42,446
One number is definitely worth remembering,
581
00:47:42,545 --> 00:47:44,079
and this is 2 °C.
582
00:47:44,642 --> 00:47:46,597
Now, pretty much everyone in the world,
583
00:47:46,632 --> 00:47:51,060
the EU, large multi-companies, Greenpeace, political parties,
584
00:47:51,061 --> 00:47:57,124
all agree that the global temperature is
compared to the pre-industrial era, it must be kept within 2 degrees.
585
00:47:57,125 --> 00:48:02,941
The reason for this is that if we cross this threshold, this
narrow tipping point in the terrestrial system, then
586
00:48:02,962 --> 00:48:06,114
the warming can become completely uncontrollable.
587
00:48:06,115 --> 00:48:08,798
A large amount of carbon can be released into the world
588
00:48:08,799 --> 00:48:12,523
from its trees and soils, methane can be released in Siberia
from its permanently frozen subsoil,
589
00:48:12,524 --> 00:48:16,094
and this is the amount of extra greenhouse gas that enters the atmosphere
590
00:48:16,095 --> 00:48:19,749
leads to the worst expected outcome of 6 degrees or more,
591
00:48:19,750 --> 00:48:23,324
and to wipe most terrestrial life forms off the face of the Earth.
592
00:48:23,325 --> 00:48:27,311
So the output increased from, say, 1950
593
00:48:27,312 --> 00:48:33,385
to date, this should level off, stabilize and then decrease
594
00:48:33,386 --> 00:48:38,859
just as fast, up to sustainable values: approx. by 80% by 2050.
595
00:48:38,860 --> 00:48:42,989
But crucially, in order to
keep the temperature rise within 2 degrees,
596
00:48:42,990 --> 00:48:48,539
this stabilization point should be around 2015.
597
00:48:48,540 --> 00:48:52,500
So this actually means that the time,
the period... the clock is ticking,
598
00:48:52,501 --> 00:48:58,971
this means that global emissions 7 years from now
we have to stabilize internally, since we are now writing 2008.
599
00:49:01,561 --> 00:49:06,525
To implement this, it is necessary to gradually achieve
to transform into a low-carbon one
600
00:49:06,526 --> 00:49:09,765
the entire economy of human civilization.
601
00:49:09,766 --> 00:49:13,998
Obviously, this is a big, huge big task, maybe
the biggest that humanity has ever faced.
602
00:49:23,067 --> 00:49:25,897
Do you remember the English family who visited the glacier?
603
00:49:25,898 --> 00:49:29,005
They returned home to Cornwall, South West England,
604
00:49:29,006 --> 00:49:32,281
they eagerly set about solving it
their own waste of energy.
605
00:49:32,282 --> 00:49:40,328
It says that the average English is 10 tons per year
responsible for greenhouse gas emissions.
606
00:49:40,329 --> 00:49:46,020
They calculate exactly how much climate change is caused
their family is currently producing gas,
607
00:49:46,021 --> 00:49:48,223
and how it can be reduced.
608
00:49:48,224 --> 00:49:50,837
Yes, but this is the average individual, there are five of us.
609
00:49:53,111 --> 00:49:56,253
Any way you look at it, it's not good.
610
00:49:59,240 --> 00:50:07,321
Our food is approx. we produce half for ourselves and
we try to eat little meat and dairy products.
611
00:50:07,946 --> 00:50:14,029
My car runs on chicken fat and
if possible we travel by bicycle.
612
00:50:14,030 --> 00:50:18,923
We got our own pinwheel,
which produces all our electricity.
613
00:50:20,303 --> 00:50:24,406
Our goal is to reduce 1 ton per person per year,
614
00:50:24,407 --> 00:50:30,015
which undoubtedly leads to the sustainable quantity,
which the world's trees and plants can absorb.
615
00:50:30,016 --> 00:50:36,092
But the big problem is the flight, only a medium distance,
say a London-New York flight
616
00:50:36,093 --> 00:50:40,696
it would take about 3 and a half years
our carbon budget.
617
00:50:40,697 --> 00:50:43,383
No doubt, apart from setting fire to a forest,
618
00:50:43,384 --> 00:50:47,914
flying is the heaviest thing a commoner does
humans can contribute to climate change.
619
00:50:47,915 --> 00:50:53,345
So, we are facing a difficult choice, because right now
we were invited to a ski trip in France.
620
00:50:53,346 --> 00:50:56,674
I could fly from Newquay which is the nearest airport,
621
00:50:56,675 --> 00:51:00,056
about 40 minutes from here to Bergerac,
622
00:51:00,057 --> 00:51:04,830
which is about an hour and a half from there or something like that.
623
00:51:04,831 --> 00:51:08,927
And we could literally leave here in the morning,
where we live from Cornwall
624
00:51:08,928 --> 00:51:10,837
we could leave Cornwall in the morning,
625
00:51:10,838 --> 00:51:15,829
and we could be in Bergerac for lunch, after lunch.
626
00:51:15,830 --> 00:51:20,747
But if you really think about the fact that it's going to cause people to die, that it's going to have an impact
627
00:51:20,748 --> 00:51:26,116
people, and you connect them directly,
then that's a pretty scary thought.
628
00:51:27,010 --> 00:51:34,357
Of course, we don't fly to France
or anywhere, it won't solve the problem much.
629
00:51:34,358 --> 00:51:37,366
But based on what you think, this is correct.
630
00:51:38,674 --> 00:51:41,719
That everyone else is doing it
not a good enough reason to do anything.
631
00:51:41,720 --> 00:51:47,740
You know when we look at those horrible things
in history, which everyone now regrets,
632
00:51:47,741 --> 00:51:50,625
you know the massacres
the holocaust, etc. a lot of everything
633
00:51:50,626 --> 00:51:55,615
let's just drift with the tide, with the dominant view of the time.
634
00:51:58,568 --> 00:52:01,247
I almost envy those times
635
00:52:01,248 --> 00:52:06,415
5-10 years ago, when I could still jump on a plane with impunity,
636
00:52:06,416 --> 00:52:11,743
I didn't even think about it, happily, without moral doubts,
without anything.
637
00:52:13,359 --> 00:52:16,693
Needless to say, they didn't fly.
638
00:52:16,694 --> 00:52:20,341
Perhaps not everyone would remember on their tenth wedding anniversary,
639
00:52:20,342 --> 00:52:23,521
to participate in a demonstration against climate change,
640
00:52:23,522 --> 00:52:27,544
but Piers and Liza's visions were already the same at their first meeting.
641
00:52:27,545 --> 00:52:30,549
I went to the party with a friend.
642
00:52:30,550 --> 00:52:33,410
and simply led me straight to Piers and said:
643
00:52:33,411 --> 00:52:38,421
"Let me introduce...", you know, "Piers, this is Lisa." More, more...
644
00:52:38,422 --> 00:52:42,287
And that was it, that was it. It's just...
645
00:52:42,288 --> 00:52:47,882
And all night we talked about... wind farms.
646
00:52:50,091 --> 00:52:57,168
Piers has been installing wind farms in Africa, America and England for 15 years.
647
00:52:57,169 --> 00:53:00,528
But he knows that these are only the complete reorganization of Western society
648
00:53:00,529 --> 00:53:04,787
as a small part, they help to solve the climate crisis.
649
00:53:06,926 --> 00:53:10,859
There is still the idea that somehow we should find "The Solution",
650
00:53:10,860 --> 00:53:12,260
he knows the salutatorian.
651
00:53:12,261 --> 00:53:16,666
No single renewable energy source will be a solution by itself, not at all.
652
00:53:18,674 --> 00:53:21,666
Piers doesn't really think about the other option,
653
00:53:21,667 --> 00:53:23,676
that everyone is crossing their fingers,
654
00:53:23,677 --> 00:53:27,445
and hopes that the miracle technology will be invented in time.
655
00:53:27,446 --> 00:53:32,212
I'm not saying that we shouldn't develop new things, in fact, we absolutely should.
656
00:53:32,213 --> 00:53:35,122
We should give it our all.
657
00:53:35,123 --> 00:53:37,618
But we have to make do with what we have now.
658
00:53:37,619 --> 00:53:40,587
And England has a very good amount of wind,
659
00:53:40,588 --> 00:53:43,514
we just have to take the opportunity and go for it.
660
00:53:43,982 --> 00:53:48,916
Piers plans a new wind farm at Airfield Farm,
in Bedfordshire, Central England.
661
00:53:48,917 --> 00:53:55,415
It would install 15 turbines, which would produce 13 Megawatts of electricity within a year.
662
00:54:04,622 --> 00:54:09,680
So, the balloon of the protesters is being inflated now, in the meantime I will tell you where we are.
663
00:54:09,681 --> 00:54:14,005
This is an old II. It was a World War II bomber base... Phone ***
664
00:54:14,006 --> 00:54:17,648
We could also point down with our thumb.
665
00:54:17,649 --> 00:54:24,605
Surveys show that across England 70-80% support the concept of wind farms.
666
00:54:24,606 --> 00:54:27,404
The difficulty starts when they want to install one near you,
667
00:54:27,405 --> 00:54:31,329
then comes the "just don't enter my yard" type syndrome.
668
00:54:31,330 --> 00:54:32,833
Jim, what's wrong?
669
00:54:32,834 --> 00:54:37,293
The problem really is that this is one of the least windy areas in the country.
670
00:54:37,294 --> 00:54:41,293
I hope it won't be too windy tomorrow and it won't blow over the church.
671
00:54:41,294 --> 00:54:47,809
Well, I live in Coddington and we would be completely surrounded by these tall mosses. /their shape is similar/
672
00:54:47,810 --> 00:54:49,878
It would block the view.
673
00:54:49,879 --> 00:54:54,365
In relation to wind power plants, we always end up having a problem in the same place, you know, with the aesthetics.
674
00:54:54,366 --> 00:54:59,477
Everything else is collected just to cover The reason,
675
00:54:59,512 --> 00:55:02,510
and that is that they don't want it to spoil the view.
676
00:55:02,511 --> 00:55:06,492
I'm a bit concerned about the low frequency noise.
677
00:55:06,493 --> 00:55:12,452
The world-famous Santa Pod drag racing track is located in the immediate vicinity of the wind farm site.
678
00:55:16,456 --> 00:55:20,411
Ask anyone, no one here is against wind power, that's the point,
679
00:55:20,412 --> 00:55:23,510
only the inappropriate use of wind energy.
680
00:55:23,511 --> 00:55:28,737
Hypnotic, you drive and involuntarily pay attention to the spinning blades,
681
00:55:28,738 --> 00:55:32,162
and you cannot concentrate on driving.
682
00:55:32,163 --> 00:55:36,779
Ernie Braddock would benefit financially because some of the turbines would be on his farm,
683
00:55:36,780 --> 00:55:40,286
but he had a disagreement over the matter
with her neighbor Victoria Reeves.
684
00:55:40,287 --> 00:55:44,623
Look, nobody likes the idea, the value of our plots will decrease,
685
00:55:44,624 --> 00:55:48,967
- No way!
- We won't be able to sleep... but it will decrease, Ernie, you can't imagine, believe me!
686
00:55:48,968 --> 00:55:50,180
Victoria says
687
00:55:50,181 --> 00:55:54,791
they have already prevented the installation of a wind farm
up in Scotland at their other property in Scotland.
688
00:55:54,792 --> 00:55:58,080
Back in the mid-90s, which was a huge win.
689
00:55:58,081 --> 00:56:01,927
- No, you can't rely on the wind, it only brings trouble...
- This is just an addition.
690
00:56:01,928 --> 00:56:08,418
- Add? Are you thinking of a supplement? Yes, addition.
- It's a backup resource, think of it that way!
691
00:56:08,419 --> 00:56:13,397
- No Ernie, no.
- Of course, of course.
- Nothing like that, believe me.
692
00:56:13,398 --> 00:56:19,440
It's an emotional campaign, it's about fear, honestly
so to speak, it is mostly based on perfect filth.
693
00:56:19,441 --> 00:56:22,826
But it's not interesting, the problem isn't with the facts, you know.
694
00:56:22,827 --> 00:56:27,402
- It's a fair fight... - It is.
- and I hope you lose!
- It's fine.
695
00:56:33,513 --> 00:56:39,152
August 2005, just after the worst ever floods in Mumbai,
696
00:56:39,153 --> 00:56:42,244
and a few months before Jeh's first flight.
697
00:56:48,611 --> 00:56:54,355
Show daddy how well you drive, show daddy how fast you go, on it!
698
00:56:55,969 --> 00:56:59,808
Oh...
No more pushing, batteries.
699
00:56:59,809 --> 00:57:04,403
- So, I can't even finish it.
- Look, grandpa...
700
00:57:04,404 --> 00:57:09,164
Jeh is a scion of one of India's richest and most powerful business dynasties.
701
00:57:09,165 --> 00:57:14,623
They pioneered everything from 18th century shipbuilding to 21st century internet service.
702
00:57:14,624 --> 00:57:20,813
And along the way, his privileged position gave him the idea for the low-cost airline.
703
00:57:20,814 --> 00:57:23,249
What do you like, what should I do? I'm going to the airport.
704
00:57:24,417 --> 00:57:27,225
Basically all my life, in my youth
705
00:57:27,226 --> 00:57:31,864
i mean i hung out with a bunch of, you know, slave kids. And, you know, things like that.
706
00:57:31,865 --> 00:57:35,543
You know, he goes home and says... all of a sudden he thinks
707
00:57:35,544 --> 00:57:38,763
why do I have so much and they have nothing.
708
00:57:38,764 --> 00:57:43,192
And stuff... and it just keeps... piling up.
709
00:57:44,805 --> 00:57:47,483
You know, everyone has a purpose.
710
00:57:47,484 --> 00:57:52,306
The plan is to figure out what your higher purpose is and then figure out how to fulfill it.
711
00:57:52,307 --> 00:57:56,641
I finally realized what my higher purpose is,
712
00:57:56,642 --> 00:57:59,431
is to ensure the eradication of poverty.
713
00:58:07,904 --> 00:58:13,611
Jeh volunteers with a charity that helps lift villagers out of poverty.
714
00:58:13,612 --> 00:58:15,843
But even by private plane and SUV
715
00:58:15,844 --> 00:58:19,426
it is a 5-hour, 900-kilometer journey.
716
00:58:19,427 --> 00:58:23,789
A private jet, in terms of basic costs, costs as much as a village,
717
00:58:23,790 --> 00:58:26,909
you know how to raise a village from poverty to poverty.
718
00:58:26,910 --> 00:58:29,151
So it actually kills the target.
719
00:58:31,140 --> 00:58:36,549
And so I decided to, you know, try the train. From Bombay it is approx. 26 hours.
720
00:58:36,550 --> 00:58:38,869
I thought, "Wow, this is just incredible."
721
00:58:38,870 --> 00:58:42,505
You know, people pay good money and still have to make do with this garbage.
722
00:58:44,693 --> 00:58:49,705
In India, 15 million people travel by train every single day.
723
00:58:49,706 --> 00:58:54,357
Jeh's dream is to lift each of them off the train and into the air.
724
00:58:56,151 --> 00:58:59,046
We are not at war now, this is not a war.
725
00:58:59,047 --> 00:59:03,708
But if people understood the full significance of what lies ahead,
726
00:59:03,709 --> 00:59:05,570
then they would treat it like a war.
727
00:59:11,569 --> 00:59:13,831
If we take Airfield Farm for example,
728
00:59:13,832 --> 00:59:15,105
i think it was an air base
729
00:59:15,106 --> 00:59:17,153
people took off and died.
730
00:59:17,154 --> 00:59:23,283
Of course, the war was huge at the time, a global problem, and now we have a...
731
00:59:23,284 --> 00:59:27,615
a real global problem that requires this kind of commitment.
732
00:59:29,553 --> 00:59:34,550
Many, many other industries need to be investigated, before aviation.
733
00:59:34,551 --> 00:59:38,265
it is questionable why one industry is chosen as a target,
734
00:59:38,266 --> 00:59:41,764
after all, we all contribute to greenhouse gases,
735
00:59:41,765 --> 00:59:45,321
we are all contributing to the crisis our planet is in now.
736
00:59:45,322 --> 00:59:46,909
Ultimately, it's, you know...
737
00:59:46,910 --> 00:59:54,948
ensuring that our planet is safe and healthy is the job and responsibility of each of us.
738
00:59:54,949 --> 00:59:58,360
You can do it your way by using fewer tissues,
739
00:59:58,361 --> 01:00:03,075
you cut down less paper, less trees, buy a green car or don't fly.
740
01:00:03,076 --> 01:00:06,836
Obviously, if you don't do it, it reduces demand,
741
01:00:06,837 --> 01:00:08,420
when demand decreases, supply decreases.
742
01:00:08,421 --> 01:00:12,526
Life is about supply and demand, or supply and demand.
743
01:00:16,805 --> 01:00:18,631
We don't catch many fish anymore.
744
01:00:19,154 --> 01:00:21,557
So I decided to start another business.
745
01:00:22,504 --> 01:00:24,127
Into the diesel business.
746
01:00:25,077 --> 01:00:27,528
To quickly create money for university.
747
01:00:44,809 --> 01:00:47,620
Now, because of the lack of fuel
748
01:00:48,837 --> 01:00:50,251
most charging stations
749
01:00:50,870 --> 01:00:53,049
is closed...
750
01:00:53,769 --> 01:00:55,100
because they have nothing to sell.
751
01:00:55,836 --> 01:00:58,094
So people get it from the black market.
752
01:00:58,971 --> 01:01:00,623
Buy diesel here!
753
01:01:02,882 --> 01:01:04,564
I buy diesel every Thursday.
754
01:01:05,131 --> 01:01:07,455
I sell it to a certain Mrs Rebecca.
755
01:01:09,489 --> 01:01:11,048
He sells to his customers.
756
01:01:12,112 --> 01:01:13,354
I don't want to know about them.
757
01:01:13,639 --> 01:01:15,336
But I know you sell it to your customers.
758
01:01:16,952 --> 01:01:17,750
This is stressful.
759
01:01:17,972 --> 01:01:19,035
But my income is higher...
760
01:01:19,526 --> 01:01:20,596
like selling fish.
761
01:01:35,065 --> 01:01:38,607
Strange. As I watch these movie clips,
762
01:01:38,608 --> 01:01:43,646
as if I were watching people on a distant shore through binoculars.
763
01:01:43,647 --> 01:01:49,248
They run around, clinging to that foot-sized sand.
764
01:01:49,249 --> 01:01:52,627
While a tsunami is rushing towards the coast.
765
01:02:05,377 --> 01:02:11,586
Here's Alvin. He just took early retirement after 30 years in the oil industry.
766
01:02:11,587 --> 01:02:15,407
And he plans to spend the rest of his years outdoors, enjoying nature.
767
01:02:15,408 --> 01:02:19,581
Oh, of course, I'm environmentally conscious and an environmentalist.
768
01:02:19,582 --> 01:02:24,248
It's really not a problem to match,
769
01:02:24,249 --> 01:02:29,360
that I worked for an oil company, which I think...
770
01:02:30,969 --> 01:02:36,088
it works quite environmentally friendly.
771
01:02:38,890 --> 01:02:45,573
When I started working in the oil industry in the mid-70s,
772
01:02:45,574 --> 01:02:48,860
the path was clear as I came out of college as a researcher.
773
01:02:50,130 --> 01:02:56,345
I didn't know the details of what was going on in the oil industry, neither the good nor the bad.
774
01:02:56,346 --> 01:02:59,734
But there are good and bad things in every industry.
775
01:03:00,319 --> 01:03:04,957
Would I do it again, knowing what I know today? Of course I would
776
01:03:04,958 --> 01:03:08,654
I mean, you have to work, you have to do something.
777
01:03:26,691 --> 01:03:28,459
If the Airfield wind farm is built,
778
01:03:28,706 --> 01:03:30,197
the locals will sabotage it.
779
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:32,203
It will be destroyed.
780
01:03:32,695 --> 01:03:34,571
It will not generate electricity for the grid.
781
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:36,177
OK?
782
01:03:37,021 --> 01:03:38,196
We will prevent it immediately.
783
01:03:38,472 --> 01:03:39,116
OK?
784
01:03:39,323 --> 01:03:40,150
So that's it,
785
01:03:40,395 --> 01:03:41,160
isn't it?
786
01:03:41,686 --> 01:03:43,571
There are a few of us who will do it,
787
01:03:44,180 --> 01:03:46,263
to be completely destroyed.
788
01:03:50,019 --> 01:03:52,368
My worst experience was with a lady
789
01:03:52,569 --> 01:03:55,362
an old lady came up to me at the public show.
790
01:03:55,363 --> 01:04:01,855
And he gave me a newspaper clipping that had a picture on it, and the picture was of a guy being shot.
791
01:04:03,831 --> 01:04:06,888
The local opposition campaign is one of the key factors,
792
01:04:06,889 --> 01:04:11,095
regarding the failure of wind farms in Great Britain.
793
01:04:11,096 --> 01:04:16,153
If they were all built, already
10% of our electricity would be clean.
794
01:04:18,131 --> 01:04:22,868
To hell with the Indians and Chinese,
795
01:04:22,869 --> 01:04:26,288
to develop in a more sustainable way, so that even if we are not ready to accept it,
796
01:04:26,289 --> 01:04:30,441
you know, the skyline of good old wind farms.
797
01:04:30,442 --> 01:04:32,349
- Well, how are you?
- Everything is fine.
798
01:04:32,350 --> 01:04:37,241
- No big deal?
- Oh no, no one has beaten me yet.
799
01:04:38,556 --> 01:04:40,644
Piers went back to Ernie's farm,
800
01:04:40,645 --> 01:04:43,302
with the plan to make the turbines less visible.
801
01:04:43,303 --> 01:04:45,751
This is how you try to kick-start the planning process,
802
01:04:45,752 --> 01:04:48,837
which was suspended for 18 months due to the counter-campaign.
803
01:04:49,714 --> 01:04:51,793
Another 18 months of climate change...
804
01:04:51,794 --> 01:04:55,601
Another 18 months of nothing I can do about it.
805
01:04:55,602 --> 01:04:59,901
Yeah, I feel really, really bad about it.
806
01:04:59,902 --> 01:05:04,316
You must feel the same way I do. I mean, how many more...
807
01:05:04,317 --> 01:05:09,878
Piers' compromise would reduce the number of turbines from 15 to 9.
808
01:05:09,879 --> 01:05:16,117
This is still enough energy to power eleven thousand homes.
809
01:05:16,118 --> 01:05:19,808
So that's still a lot of energy.
810
01:05:19,809 --> 01:05:23,745
The exact opposite of what should happen is happening.
811
01:05:23,746 --> 01:05:28,496
These things should be sped up, but they just slow them down.
812
01:05:28,497 --> 01:05:32,859
Lots of politicians talk about it, but when it comes time to act,
813
01:05:32,860 --> 01:05:36,497
nothing is just happening, nothing is happening, people.
814
01:05:38,739 --> 01:05:43,133
The government only does what the people demand.
815
01:05:43,134 --> 01:05:47,793
And that means a mass protest on an unprecedented scale.
816
01:05:49,161 --> 01:05:52,405
Direct actions like this are essential,
817
01:05:52,406 --> 01:05:56,077
if we want a result in a short time in a case.
818
01:05:56,078 --> 01:06:00,218
This has been proven many times in the past, since the suffragettes.
819
01:06:04,719 --> 01:06:10,894
The very fact that the crisis is experienced by our generation, that it is right now,
820
01:06:10,895 --> 01:06:14,390
means we have tremendous power.
821
01:06:14,391 --> 01:06:19,109
So this desperate state and
"I can't do anything" is completely meaningless.
822
01:06:19,110 --> 01:06:22,906
This is completely illogical, quite the opposite.
823
01:06:33,994 --> 01:06:36,590
They rattle
824
01:06:36,591 --> 01:06:38,491
that the tunnel will be doubled.
825
01:06:40,227 --> 01:06:43,173
The people of Chamonix have finally woken up.
826
01:06:44,027 --> 01:06:45,634
We organized a protest group,
827
01:06:45,735 --> 01:06:47,304
to say "NO" to trucks.
828
01:06:47,605 --> 01:06:49,515
To have fewer pointless deliveries.
829
01:07:04,942 --> 01:07:07,621
A whole team is fighting,
830
01:07:08,719 --> 01:07:11,098
but we are not enough.
831
01:07:12,192 --> 01:07:14,111
I don't know if we have the strength,
832
01:07:15,187 --> 01:07:16,974
to have any influence
833
01:07:17,908 --> 01:07:19,444
the way to the lobby.
834
01:07:20,604 --> 01:07:22,713
For the governments, for Europe, everywhere.
835
01:07:23,437 --> 01:07:25,794
Intelligent people.
836
01:07:25,795 --> 01:07:27,175
But a little
837
01:07:27,904 --> 01:07:30,072
they should do real work.
838
01:07:30,773 --> 01:07:33,400
Instead of thinking only about re-election.
839
01:07:37,580 --> 01:07:44,611
There is no shortage of different kinds of big questions.
We are capable of amazing things.
840
01:07:46,522 --> 01:07:51,087
But I don't think we've used our resources very wisely.
841
01:07:51,088 --> 01:07:57,912
That we almost literally burn such a beautiful and useful thing, which is oil.
842
01:07:57,913 --> 01:08:00,826
We literally burn it. That's it, it was or it wasn't, that's it.
843
01:08:02,505 --> 01:08:06,584
I think most people were disillusioned by then.
844
01:08:06,585 --> 01:08:11,810
We no longer believed that this was the golden age of human civilization,
845
01:08:11,811 --> 01:08:14,764
and we began to doubt our shared values.
846
01:08:17,681 --> 01:08:21,664
I can only hope that such incredible disasters like Katrina
847
01:08:21,665 --> 01:08:25,164
and the terrible wars that are coming one after the other around the world
848
01:08:25,165 --> 01:08:27,440
then they will surprise us.
849
01:08:27,441 --> 01:08:30,937
I want to see us moving in the right direction for the sake of humanity!
850
01:08:59,975 --> 01:09:06,532
Before this, before the disaster, I had a lot of things, I was a first-rate consumer.
851
01:09:06,646 --> 01:09:14,361
Two years later, I have learned a lot about happiness and the pursuit of it.
852
01:09:25,915 --> 01:09:33,573
Happiness is not in the latest gadget, the latest electric toothbrush, or anything like that.
853
01:09:33,574 --> 01:09:39,237
All this stuff. That's not what life is about. Not for me anymore.
854
01:10:10,827 --> 01:10:16,073
- The solution to climate change presented to the UN
- Supported by: EU, England, China, Africa, World Bank
855
01:10:16,477 --> 01:10:22,327
Climate researchers can estimate the remainder
how much more fossil fuel are we allowed to burn?
856
01:10:22,794 --> 01:10:25,855
This quantity is the so-called "global quota".
857
01:10:26,804 --> 01:10:31,671
According to this proposal, the governments of the world will enshrine their obligations in an international agreement, which details,
858
01:10:31,672 --> 01:10:33,999
how to distribute the global quota.
859
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:35,199
The earlier we start, the
860
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:38,199
the greater the chance that climate change will not be unleashed.
861
01:10:38,499 --> 01:10:43,874
The total global emissions in the first year, say 2012, should be at that level.
862
01:10:43,875 --> 01:10:49,403
It will decrease in each subsequent year, until 2065, when it approaches zero.
863
01:10:49,504 --> 01:10:54,028
Initially, each country would have an assigned emission quota,
864
01:10:54,029 --> 01:10:56,806
according to how much you are currently consuming.
865
01:10:56,807 --> 01:10:58,873
But that would change over time.
866
01:10:59,185 --> 01:11:04,114
America would cut its emissions by 90% from its current level of overconsumption.
867
01:11:04,115 --> 01:11:07,599
Europe would also reduce it greatly, as would China.
868
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:12,481
But India and Africa would increase until approx. by 2025
869
01:11:12,482 --> 01:11:15,991
all human beings would have equal rights to the Earth's resources.
870
01:11:15,992 --> 01:11:18,384
Equity is the only option morally,
871
01:11:18,385 --> 01:11:22,624
and also practically, since less developing countries would not agree anyway.
872
01:11:22,625 --> 01:11:26,429
But then the total emissions would decrease each year,
873
01:11:26,430 --> 01:11:30,029
while by 2065 we would barely use fossil fuels,
874
01:11:30,030 --> 01:11:33,649
and we avoided the worst effects of climate change.
875
01:11:33,650 --> 01:11:38,748
On how the individual castes divide their share
among their citizens, there are many different ideas.
876
01:11:38,749 --> 01:11:41,845
Of which the most promising is the personal carbon head dose.
877
01:11:44,312 --> 01:11:47,535
Mr. W. S. Morrison came to explain:
878
01:11:47,536 --> 01:11:53,997
If during the war from some food type
our supplies would dwindle
879
01:11:53,998 --> 01:11:59,217
head rations ensure everyone,
for rich and poor alike,
880
01:11:59,218 --> 01:12:02,357
to benefit equally from it.
881
01:12:02,358 --> 01:12:07,348
As expected, everyone in England
would have a specific annual carbon consumption.
882
01:12:07,349 --> 01:12:09,982
So the electricity card,
like the supermarket card
883
01:12:09,983 --> 01:12:14,109
points would be deducted every time someone uses or buys non-renewable energy.
884
01:12:14,110 --> 01:12:17,705
For example, for the electricity consumption of household appliances,
885
01:12:17,706 --> 01:12:21,208
or if we travel somewhere by plane or if we buy a petrol car.
886
01:12:21,209 --> 01:12:24,251
so everyone can help by distributing it themselves.
887
01:12:24,252 --> 01:12:29,763
I'm sure you're all allowed
quantity will be taken and no more.
888
01:12:32,226 --> 01:12:35,336
Airports around the world have been expanded,
889
01:12:35,337 --> 01:12:39,557
that they can withstand the war of cheap flights that they all have
we claimed.
890
01:12:39,558 --> 01:12:43,495
And Jeh did his best to join the crowd.
891
01:12:44,171 --> 01:12:49,123
Ultimately, the weird thing is to hug and then kick.
892
01:12:49,124 --> 01:12:53,213
He says it's affordable, you say it's not.
What about you?
893
01:12:53,214 --> 01:12:54,256
Now!
894
01:12:55,728 --> 01:12:59,462
Yes or no? Did I ask or didn't I?
895
01:12:59,463 --> 01:13:03,326
You're suspended, too. Out, both of you!
896
01:13:05,164 --> 01:13:09,104
Does it take more than *** ten minutes to clean this up? That's why I'm paying you!
897
01:13:10,604 --> 01:13:13,513
It's all a day's work...hehe...
898
01:13:13,514 --> 01:13:17,095
Maintaining my machine is important to me, okay!?
899
01:13:17,833 --> 01:13:20,660
If this is how I find my stairs
900
01:13:20,661 --> 01:13:24,143
if there's even a tiny bit of dirt on it, you're fired.
901
01:13:24,756 --> 01:13:26,094
THEY?
902
01:13:43,079 --> 01:13:44,798
Mr Jeh Wadia
903
01:13:45,198 --> 01:13:46,619
I would like to
904
01:13:47,447 --> 01:13:48,555
hand over
905
01:13:48,725 --> 01:13:50,257
the operating license of your airline
906
01:13:50,468 --> 01:13:51,980
for the continuation of commercial activity.
907
01:13:55,053 --> 01:13:56,136
Now you have an airline.
908
01:13:59,801 --> 01:14:04,498
June 11, 2007 - a hotel room in Bedford.
909
01:14:04,599 --> 01:14:08,873
Piers is polishing his speech for tonight's hearing with the local planning committee.
910
01:14:08,874 --> 01:14:13,780
This committee may approve this request.
911
01:14:13,781 --> 01:14:17,796
Doing so shows courage and leadership.
912
01:14:17,797 --> 01:14:22,315
You only have six minutes to convince them to approve your wind farm.
913
01:14:22,942 --> 01:14:27,358
I am absolutely sure that if this project is approved,
914
01:14:27,359 --> 01:14:31,911
they will look back on this decision as "Thank God we said yes!".
915
01:14:31,912 --> 01:14:34,597
But the committee rejected Piers' request,
916
01:14:34,598 --> 01:14:39,054
saying that the wind farm would be too conspicuous and out of place in the Bedfordshire landscape,
917
01:14:39,055 --> 01:14:42,052
would reduce the enjoyment value of the trips
918
01:14:42,053 --> 01:14:45,559
and would have a negative impact on surrounding buildings and national monuments.
919
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,583
In other words, it would spoil the view.
920
01:14:48,584 --> 01:14:50,789
Oh, we're very relieved to be turned down, yes.
921
01:14:50,790 --> 01:14:52,157
A wonderful result.
922
01:14:52,158 --> 01:14:55,346
It shows that if you work hard, you look at all the facts,
923
01:14:55,347 --> 01:14:59,955
fair and balanced, then the result will be good.
924
01:14:59,956 --> 01:15:04,182
Ten to one, it could have been 11 to one.
925
01:15:04,183 --> 01:15:08,310
But there was one guy who actually voted yes.
926
01:15:09,698 --> 01:15:11,080
Head up!
927
01:15:18,366 --> 01:15:23,958
Hi Mum, I'm Piers, I'm 10 or 11 to one.
928
01:15:24,784 --> 01:15:30,138
Yeah, it's ***... wasted time, more.
929
01:15:35,528 --> 01:15:40,960
I could have said that to be honest. It wouldn't have mattered.
930
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:45,685
Of course we are concerned about global warming,
931
01:15:45,686 --> 01:15:49,264
I mean, it's something we all worry about.
932
01:15:49,265 --> 01:15:53,909
I mean, everyone does their part, tries to save money and looks for renewable energy sources.
933
01:15:53,910 --> 01:16:01,041
Of course, of course, yes... I mean, we are also part of the world... Haha, yes...
934
01:16:02,353 --> 01:16:04,304
And that's global warming.
935
01:16:04,305 --> 01:16:09,257
It's the first time scientists have confirmed a link between climate change and extreme weather.
936
01:16:09,258 --> 01:16:11,773
Loads of ambulances in Bedfordshire...
937
01:16:11,774 --> 01:16:14,598
And the flood finally found its way
938
01:16:14,599 --> 01:16:17,373
No part of Bedfordshire escaped.
939
01:16:17,374 --> 01:16:23,059
We have lived here for forty years, but never before
940
01:16:23,060 --> 01:16:24,894
there was no such thing...
941
01:16:24,895 --> 01:16:28,722
...80,000 victims in Burma after Cyclone Nargis...
942
01:16:28,723 --> 01:16:33,059
...drought risk throughout Western Europe and strict drinking water rationing in the Netherlands, France...
943
01:16:33,060 --> 01:16:35,783
A wildfire is sweeping across Vegas. Unfortunately...
944
01:16:35,784 --> 01:16:40,854
It is costing motorists £30m to drive, Lord Clarkson has said...
945
01:16:40,855 --> 01:16:43,523
Good news for the British wine industry, especially...
946
01:16:43,524 --> 01:16:47,833
... New Orleans will not be rebuilt for the third time, the Louisiana government...
947
01:16:47,834 --> 01:16:52,665
...Complete destruction of Indian dams would end Pakistan's drinking water crisis.
948
01:16:52,666 --> 01:16:55,007
As it continues due to the decision of the President of the USA, because...
949
01:16:55,266 --> 01:17:02,250
... air conditioners in India ...
...San Francisco's extreme heatwave has moved to Los Angeles...
950
01:17:02,251 --> 01:17:05,575
Extreme weather is prevalent across the planet these days...
951
01:17:05,576 --> 01:17:07,937
35 million Chinese refugees...
952
01:17:07,938 --> 01:17:09,341
You can no longer ski in the Alps
953
01:17:09,342 --> 01:17:14,037
Channel 4 documentaries cast doubt on whether global warming is happening or natural...
954
01:17:14,038 --> 01:17:17,038
61 degrees, the highest surface temperature ever recorded...
955
01:17:17,039 --> 01:17:19,936
Over a million people left homeless tonight...
956
01:17:19,937 --> 01:17:21,397
Methane was released in Siberia...
957
01:17:21,398 --> 01:17:25,263
The last Indonesian tree was found, the fifth fuel crisis has arrived...
958
01:17:25,264 --> 01:17:27,796
The European Union permanently closed its borders...
959
01:17:27,797 --> 01:17:30,548
...must be maintained for food production...
960
01:17:30,549 --> 01:17:34,919
...London is under water again, with a 30ft tide last night...
961
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:39,509
New Zealand also closed its borders, locking out 22 million Australians...
962
01:17:41,476 --> 01:17:44,741
...refugees in the Middle East and Central Europe...
963
01:17:44,742 --> 01:17:49,544
...scientists estimate that half of the species are already extinct, the ecosystem is collapsing...
964
01:17:49,545 --> 01:17:53,136
We have reached 2 degrees, climate change is now unstoppable...
965
01:17:53,137 --> 01:17:55,777
Too many people need food, hunger continues to grow...
966
01:17:55,778 --> 01:17:58,621
...the suicide rate increased by eight hundred percent...
967
01:17:58,622 --> 01:18:00,300
The Amazon rainforest is still burning...
968
01:18:00,301 --> 01:18:03,242
And anyone who can't eat their dog and cat...
969
01:18:03,243 --> 01:18:06,037
...the world's eighth food crisis has begun...
970
01:18:06,038 --> 01:18:08,566
The global temperature rise will exceed 4 degrees today...
971
01:18:08,567 --> 01:18:10,827
...retaliatory nuclear strike...
972
01:18:22,315 --> 01:18:26,056
We wouldn't be the first life form to wipe itself out.
973
01:18:26,057 --> 01:18:31,337
But what is unique is that we did it consciously.
974
01:18:32,911 --> 01:18:35,366
What does this say about us?
975
01:18:35,367 --> 01:18:38,261
I always ask myself,
976
01:18:38,262 --> 01:18:41,757
why didn't we save ourselves while we had the chance?
977
01:18:41,758 --> 01:18:48,645
Is the answer because somewhere, we weren't sure that we were worthy of being saved?
978
01:19:27,530 --> 01:19:28,439
In the mountains
979
01:19:28,867 --> 01:19:30,175
We are connected.
980
01:19:30,768 --> 01:19:32,551
It's just as risky for you as it is for me.
981
01:19:34,413 --> 01:19:36,656
We know that global warming
982
01:19:37,257 --> 01:19:39,045
it will get faster and faster
983
01:19:40,485 --> 01:19:43,640
So the situation will become more and more serious.
984
01:19:44,216 --> 01:19:45,129
For everyone.
985
01:19:45,430 --> 01:19:46,521
For everyone.
986
01:19:55,677 --> 01:20:00,679
Please move closer to the plane and do your duty.
987
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:05,674
You know, if we all really pulled together, the world would be different in every way.
988
01:20:05,675 --> 01:20:07,644
Unfortunately, this is not the reality.
989
01:20:07,645 --> 01:20:11,683
If we can't even come together to end poverty in the world,
990
01:20:11,684 --> 01:20:14,898
then is there any chance at all for our planet to be healthy?
991
01:20:18,312 --> 01:20:19,909
Becoming a doctor...
992
01:20:20,367 --> 01:20:21,928
I really want to be famous.
993
01:20:22,309 --> 01:20:24,145
This is not easy, hard work.
994
01:20:24,804 --> 01:20:26,305
Niger Delta College of Science
But this is my dream.
995
01:20:28,067 --> 01:20:29,632
Let me congratulate you.
996
01:20:30,921 --> 01:20:32,878
I see your papers are in order...
997
01:20:33,985 --> 01:20:34,830
so you are admitted.
998
01:20:51,500 --> 01:20:57,767
I think the way we've used or wasted resources over the last hundred years or so...
999
01:20:57,768 --> 01:21:01,844
I'd rather rename this era... something like...
1000
01:21:01,845 --> 01:21:03,300
the age of ignorance.
1001
01:21:03,301 --> 01:21:05,350
The age of stupidity.
1002
01:21:17,417 --> 01:21:19,613
One day we will be home again, in Iraq.
1003
01:21:20,096 --> 01:21:22,290
We invite everyone to the biggest party in the world.
1004
01:21:25,889 --> 01:21:27,014
That will be the happiest place
1005
01:21:29,480 --> 01:21:31,013
all over the world.
1006
01:21:38,537 --> 01:21:40,891
Every minute, they take our oil and leave.
1007
01:22:28,470 --> 01:22:31,706
I think everyone in the future
1008
01:22:31,707 --> 01:22:34,007
you'll probably blame us,
1009
01:22:34,820 --> 01:22:36,941
because we didn't think
1010
01:22:36,942 --> 01:22:39,429
to protect the environment.
1011
01:22:40,183 --> 01:22:44,673
We knew how to profit,
but not how to protect it.
1012
01:22:53,592 --> 01:22:57,467
I just find it surprising
1013
01:22:57,468 --> 01:23:04,748
that after so much effort, the last act of our existence should be suicide.
1014
01:23:04,749 --> 01:23:08,633
So why did I build this archive?
1015
01:23:08,634 --> 01:23:10,731
Because this is an instructive tale.
1016
01:23:10,732 --> 01:23:14,292
Not for us. It's too late for us.
1017
01:23:14,293 --> 01:23:17,941
But that... maybe...
1018
01:23:17,942 --> 01:23:24,294
who, somewhere, somehow happens to find this recording.
1019
01:23:33,418 --> 01:23:36,462
Send
1020
01:23:36,948 --> 01:23:39,692
Just go.
1021
01:24:43,863 --> 01:24:47,603
It's over
1022
01:24:47,604 --> 01:24:50,741
Is it over?
1023
01:25:08,793 --> 01:25:10,944
To stop climate change,
1024
01:25:10,945 --> 01:25:14,401
of the final form of the international agreement,
1025
01:25:15,355 --> 01:25:18,751
In December 2009, in Copenhagen,
1026
01:25:18,787 --> 01:25:20,361
it should be as strong as science requires.

We're still in time.

We're just in time.

Ford Note:
The Copenhagen Climate Conference is unfortunately frivolous,
ended with a result that did not contain much specifics.
1032
01:25:44,301 --> 01:25:48,730
Until our politicians wake up, at least
let's get together for a healthy Earth.
