1
00:03:17,299 --> 00:03:22,645
Welcome to the global archive, a vast storage structure
2
00:03:22,646 --> 00:03:25,755
located 800km north of Norway.
3
00:03:35,331 --> 00:03:38,782
It contains the artwork
from every national museum.
4
00:03:43,361 --> 00:03:46,914
There are pickled animals
stack up two by two.
5
00:03:51,318 --> 00:03:54,700
Every film, every book,
every scientific report,
6
00:03:55,027 --> 00:03:57,527
all stored on banks of servers.
7
00:04:03,151 --> 00:04:06,343
But the conditions we are experiencing now,
8
00:04:06,671 --> 00:04:12,088
were actually cause by our behavior
in the period leading up to 2015.
9
00:04:15,095 --> 00:04:18,636
In other words, we could've saved ourselves
10
00:04:32,792 --> 00:04:37,343
We could've saved ourselves.
But we didn't, it's amazing!
11
00:04:38,524 --> 00:04:44,603
What state of mind were we in,
to face extinction, and simply shrug it off?
12
00:04:54,792 --> 00:04:58,248
By nature or by disinterest,
there is always an introvert.
13
00:04:58,645 --> 00:05:02,240
For years, you know,
the non-business need, need a face
14
00:05:02,764 --> 00:05:06,771
blah, blah, blah,personality.
15
00:05:09,209 --> 00:05:12,592
The year 32-year-old entrepreneur Jeh Wadia,
16
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:18,031
he started up India's
third low-cost airline, in 2005.
17
00:05:21,008 --> 00:05:25,688
Time for India's now, the time for
developing business in India is now.
18
00:05:26,092 --> 00:05:31,296
He's got 1200 employees, most of whom
have never set foot on an airplane.
19
00:05:33,032 --> 00:05:36,228
What are the different kinds of
hijackers that you might have?
20
00:05:46,303 --> 00:05:51,340
Why are you scared of a little smoke?
Do want to be scared and run of fire?
21
00:05:51,668 --> 00:05:57,706
It's not a toy, it's not a perfume bottle,
you've got to aim it, hold it. That's it.
22
00:05:58,051 --> 00:06:01,518
I was at London at the time, where Stelios Haji-loannou,
you know, uh, he created the EZ jet,
23
00:06:02,277 --> 00:06:04,687
and I was fascinated with
basically how he did it.
24
00:06:05,015 --> 00:06:07,425
Evacuate, evacuate
25
00:06:07,817 --> 00:06:10,557
Go this way, go this way
26
00:06:19,211 --> 00:06:23,780
We've been offering fares from 600 rupees
, ok, all the way down to 1 rupee.
27
00:06:24,782 --> 00:06:30,281
How many people can afford a 1 rupee fare?
I would imagine every single Indian can.
28
00:06:30,608 --> 00:06:33,452
That the, a rickshaw driver
can, and servants.
29
00:06:33,779 --> 00:06:36,246
You know in year 2005, I mean, you know,
30
00:06:36,573 --> 00:06:41,050
having a elite class who can fly in
a country of a billion people, it's ridiculous.
31
00:06:42,148 --> 00:06:47,842
Search: visible impacts of
climate change leading up to 2010.
32
00:06:51,565 --> 00:06:55,506
101 degrees Fahrenheit,
it's the hottest day ever recorded.
33
00:06:55,833 --> 00:07:01,555
700 people are now feared dead after the strongest
ever-recorded days rain fall in India's history.
34
00:07:01,882 --> 00:07:06,352
Now, it's official, the past year has
been the driest in Melbourne's history.
35
00:07:06,679 --> 00:07:12,059
The dessert is advancing at
the phenomenal rate of 3 miles every year.
36
00:07:12,386 --> 00:07:17,417
Dozens of Antarctic ice shelves
collapsing faster than anyone predicted.
37
00:07:17,744 --> 00:07:22,166
18 countries are under water, and one and
a half million people are affected.
38
00:07:56,676 --> 00:08:02,639
Fernand Pareau has climbed Europe's
highest mountain Mont Blanc over 150 times.
39
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,828
Here he's guiding a family from England.
40
00:08:44,923 --> 00:08:49,876
At 82, Fernand is the oldest
guy still working in France.
41
00:08:50,203 --> 00:08:54,642
All his lifetime he witnessed
huge changes in the mountains.
42
00:10:03,930 --> 00:10:07,522
Now, there's an elaborate
extension on the bottom here.
43
00:10:25,963 --> 00:10:29,718
Extraordinary to think that
these are the Alps in December.
44
00:10:30,045 --> 00:10:32,282
Here in Chamonix is across the Alps,
45
00:10:32,609 --> 00:10:36,699
there's a dramatic lack of snow
, and exceptionally warm temperatures.
46
00:10:37,027 --> 00:10:40,356
It is a glimpse into the future.
47
00:10:40,683 --> 00:10:46,875
More than half of ski resort in Europe could
shut down in the next 50 years because of global warming.
48
00:10:47,202 --> 00:10:53,461
So nobody goes skiing, big deal. The thing
is it's not bad, is it? That's the whole point.
49
00:10:53,788 --> 00:10:59,143
The fact you can't get skiing anymore or
the glaciers are melting is not really the point,
50
00:10:59,470 --> 00:11:04,486
the point is that signals that
basically the earth is destabilizing.
51
00:11:04,813 --> 00:11:11,313
And all the norms that have
allowed life to exist are changing.
52
00:11:55,813 --> 00:12:01,533
List: climate change,
major events, up to the present day.
53
00:12:17,556 --> 00:12:21,454
This is a couple of days
before Katrina struck.
54
00:12:21,781 --> 00:12:25,802
Most people are following the evacuation
order in getting out of the city.
55
00:12:26,129 --> 00:12:31,152
But New Orleans-borne Alvin DuVernay
had no intention of moving.
56
00:12:33,130 --> 00:12:35,587
I got up at Saturday morning and
there's a buzz in the neighborhood,
57
00:12:35,915 --> 00:12:38,501
everybody were running around and
I was like what's up, what's up?
58
00:12:38,828 --> 00:12:40,564
You know, the hurricane's coming.
59
00:12:40,891 --> 00:12:46,002
I checked on the web and sure enough all of
the models had it, aiming right for us. Bulls eye.
60
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,740
This is a monster, and it's coming.
61
00:12:51,343 --> 00:12:55,354
Walk through the house a few times,
putting things up, you know.
62
00:12:55,681 --> 00:13:00,558
My silk rug from Nepal up on
the top shelf, and my guitar,
63
00:13:00,885 --> 00:13:03,385
I mean, you know, you just
do these things, you know.
64
00:13:04,539 --> 00:13:09,507
I mean another way to do that is get
all you stuff and go, that's option 1,
65
00:13:09,834 --> 00:13:13,454
probably the best option.
I didn't grow up in that option.
66
00:13:13,781 --> 00:13:17,117
AlvinĽhąľ¤FĽL84ˇłŞşŞ¨Ş¨Ś^ŽaĄA
Alvin collected his 84-year-old father
67
00:13:17,444 --> 00:13:20,922
than barricaded the two of theminside
this house as the hurricane approached.
68
00:13:23,650 --> 00:13:27,046
You stare Mother Nature in
the eye, usually she's fairly benign.
69
00:13:27,373 --> 00:13:31,095
And she comes along,
methodically, ruthlessly.
70
00:13:31,422 --> 00:13:36,052
And then she stands toe to toe,
and dares you, dares you.
71
00:13:36,379 --> 00:13:39,896
Go ahead and get your best equipment,
now, go ahead, do it, let's dance.
72
00:13:49,561 --> 00:13:56,061
I think ones got to be very careful about
attaching a particular event to global warming.
73
00:13:56,637 --> 00:14:02,316
But nevertheless the intensity of hurricanes
is related to surface sea temperature,
74
00:14:02,643 --> 00:14:08,654
so increased intensity of hurricane
is associated with global warming.
75
00:14:09,897 --> 00:14:14,981
By first light, the water in Alvin's house
is chest-deep and still rising.
76
00:14:15,308 --> 00:14:19,049
So he helped Alvin Sr. into their boat
and headed for dry land.
77
00:14:21,402 --> 00:14:26,464
There's just one boat that's floating, so it's no
big deal to launch the boat, it's launched.
78
00:14:26,791 --> 00:14:31,641
There's no landmarks, really, to speak of
that's a real different perspective,
79
00:14:31,968 --> 00:14:34,053
driving through your
neighborhood at tree level.
80
00:14:34,380 --> 00:14:39,751
Then, all of a sudden you realize
there is a lot of people who stayed behind.
81
00:14:40,078 --> 00:14:43,110
There's no coastguard or police or.
82
00:14:43,437 --> 00:14:48,318
Most of our national guards were
elsewhere in the world, Iraq, Afghanistan.
83
00:14:48,850 --> 00:14:53,131
Alvin rescued 200 people,
and their pets, over 2 long days,
84
00:14:53,458 --> 00:14:59,206
including a 95-year-old man
and a six-week-old baby.
85
00:15:01,302 --> 00:15:07,609
that little basket came out of the window,
that was a pretty special time.
86
00:15:07,936 --> 00:15:14,436
And just as peaceful eyes-closed, it just
stops you, in your tracks, dead stop,
87
00:15:18,180 --> 00:15:23,866
take a breath, you know, there's
nothing more precious than that.
88
00:15:26,130 --> 00:15:28,385
Alvin's neighbors were the lucky ones,
89
00:15:28,712 --> 00:15:32,973
hurricane Katrina was America's worst
weather related event to that date.
90
00:15:33,368 --> 00:15:36,390
And it was just a taste of what was to come.
91
00:15:39,287 --> 00:15:43,465
"It is our fault," after years of debate
, some of the world's top scientists.
92
00:15:43,792 --> 00:15:47,265
"Unequivocable," this the word
they used, human activity is.
93
00:15:47,592 --> 00:15:54,092
Contributing to changes in our earth climate,
and that issue is no longer up to debate.
94
00:15:55,702 --> 00:15:57,325
ŚbAndermattĄA
In Andermatt,
95
00:15:57,652 --> 00:16:01,424
they've covered the glacier with a special
protective sheet reduce its summer melt.
96
00:16:01,751 --> 00:16:06,388
One way I do my bit for the environment
is turning to 30 with Ariel.
97
00:16:06,715 --> 00:16:10,962
This is offsetting all those flights that I take
that I have to for my job.
98
00:16:11,290 --> 00:16:16,890
David Cameron even wears recycled shoes
made from old fireman's trousers.
99
00:16:17,217 --> 00:16:21,013
Despite all the efforts to control pollution
and its effect in our climate,
100
00:16:21,340 --> 00:16:26,910
the level of greenhouse gas emission has reached
a record highand shows no signs of being reversed.
101
00:16:27,237 --> 00:16:32,512
Despite the Kyoto treaty, and all the talk
of reducing emission of carbon dioxide,
102
00:16:32,839 --> 00:16:38,550
level of this key greenhouse gas
are rising faster than ever.
103
00:16:39,428 --> 00:16:45,928
06:30 am on a cool autumn morning,and Alvin's
heading up to work, searching for more oil.
104
00:16:47,334 --> 00:16:53,834
Ironically, the oil infrastructure off the coast of New Orleans
suffered major damage during the hurricane,
105
00:16:54,417 --> 00:16:58,437
but Shell moved fast to carry
out repair and just 9 months later,
106
00:16:58,764 --> 00:17:01,778
the rigs are online, and
everyone's back at work.
107
00:17:04,857 --> 00:17:10,479
Oil was formed when ancient plant life in the ocean
absorbed energy from the ancient sun.
108
00:17:10,806 --> 00:17:17,130
When these plants died, they settled in the ocean floor
along with the dead bodies of tons and tons of ocean creatures.
109
00:17:17,457 --> 00:17:21,725
Over millennia, temperature increased
and the organic matter was gradually cooked
110
00:17:22,052 --> 00:17:25,383
until the sun's energy
was stored inside oil.
111
00:17:25,710 --> 00:17:30,734
150 million years later, Shell's geologists
analyzed where the oil might be,
112
00:17:31,061 --> 00:17:35,285
and then drilled 3 miles down
into the seabed to collect samples.
113
00:17:40,747 --> 00:17:43,572
Hey you go Al, get yourself. Thank you
114
00:17:43,899 --> 00:17:50,067
We get the samples and analyze them
for the fossil contents. The microscopic fossils.
115
00:17:50,394 --> 00:17:56,806
And it's just another geo-scientific tool
in order to improve your possibility of finding oil.
116
00:17:59,654 --> 00:18:02,282
In my opinion, probably arrogantly so,
117
00:18:02,609 --> 00:18:05,018
but it's pretty high calling
actually to try to do that,
118
00:18:05,345 --> 00:18:09,041
to try to figure out or maybe
take apart, you know, time itself.
119
00:18:09,368 --> 00:18:11,748
Go back a few thousand years,
120
00:18:12,076 --> 00:18:18,040
and the energy available to grow our crops or feed animals
was limited by the daily sunlight falling on the earth.
121
00:18:18,367 --> 00:18:19,209
But now,
122
00:18:19,536 --> 00:18:23,428
we gorge ourselves on hundreds of years
worth of sunlight every single year.
123
00:18:23,755 --> 00:18:27,211
Every part of modern life is
now literally made of oil.
124
00:18:27,538 --> 00:18:31,010
From CDs to plastic bags,
to medicines and computers.
125
00:18:31,337 --> 00:18:34,447
From clothes and carpets to
hair gel and cell phones.
126
00:18:34,774 --> 00:18:37,277
It's a fantastically useful substance.
127
00:18:37,604 --> 00:18:39,035
Then there's our food,
128
00:18:39,362 --> 00:18:44,620
each calorie we eat used about 80 oil calories
to produce, package, refrigerate and transport.
129
00:18:44,947 --> 00:18:51,447
And fossil fuel produce fertilizers now feed
about 2 billion people who could not otherwise stay alive.
130
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:58,509
It would be wise for humanity to use the remaining oil
to build the new society which could run without it.
131
00:18:58,836 --> 00:19:03,609
But we are, instead, indiscriminately
burning tens of millions of barrels every day.
132
00:19:03,936 --> 00:19:09,015
It'll all be gone in about 40 years,
leaving pretty much none for future generations.
133
00:19:13,089 --> 00:19:15,864
And then you see it,
and you smell it, and, you know,
134
00:19:16,191 --> 00:19:20,782
it's greasy and ugly and smell so much
like money, it's just beautiful, you know.
135
00:19:21,109 --> 00:19:27,609
13 billion pounds in 2005, that's 1.5 million
pounds an hour, 400 pounds a second.
136
00:19:29,675 --> 00:19:32,881
And a hefty chunk of those
profits came from here, Nigeria,
137
00:19:33,208 --> 00:19:37,164
where most of the population lives
on less than 1 dollar a day.
138
00:19:37,491 --> 00:19:39,991
This is the water we drink.
139
00:20:04,327 --> 00:20:08,233
22-year-old Layefa Malin has
an ambition to trained as a doctor
140
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,980
and then work in
a home village called Cojabanee,
141
00:20:11,307 --> 00:20:13,902
where Shell started
building this medical center.
142
00:20:19,671 --> 00:20:24,477
Like hundreds of other community projects
across Niger delta, construction has been abandoned.
143
00:20:24,804 --> 00:20:28,102
Shell maintains that's because
of the risk of kidnapping.
144
00:20:30,173 --> 00:20:34,590
13% of the oil revenue is supposed
to be spent on community development.
145
00:20:34,917 --> 00:20:38,966
But the local people share is almost
all lost to the corrupt political system.
146
00:20:39,293 --> 00:20:42,590
So despite being in the most
profitable oil region in West Africa,
147
00:20:42,917 --> 00:20:48,392
Layefa's village has no health service,
no secondary school, no electricity, and no drinking water.
148
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,058
Layefa is describing a phenomenon
known as "the resource curse".
149
00:22:42,385 --> 00:22:47,162
Paradoxically, finding oil usually
increases a country's poverty.
150
00:22:47,489 --> 00:22:49,934
As the oil wealth is
concentrated in hands of a few,
151
00:22:50,262 --> 00:22:55,206
so the agriculture, education, and health system
of the country become neglected and often collapsed.
152
00:22:57,209 --> 00:23:00,863
The local people health problems
are compounded by gas flare,
153
00:23:01,190 --> 00:23:03,507
burning nights and days
throughout the Niger delta,
154
00:23:03,834 --> 00:23:08,299
asthma, bronchitis, skin diseases
, and cancer have all been linked.
155
00:23:10,421 --> 00:23:15,529
That gas is found alongside oil,
but, as it's dangerous to transport,
156
00:23:15,857 --> 00:23:21,646
it can't easily be sold to over sea markets
. It could be use for cooking and heating within Nigeria,
157
00:23:21,974 --> 00:23:26,478
but building infrastructure is expensive
so the oil company just burn it off.
158
00:23:27,730 --> 00:23:31,981
Its flares emit about 70 million tons
of carbon dioxide every year
159
00:23:32,309 --> 00:23:36,324
more than the annual emissions
from 10 million British homes.
160
00:23:42,551 --> 00:23:45,875
they just do whatever they like.
161
00:23:49,111 --> 00:23:53,744
Why are American cities designed
so it's almost impossible not to have a car?
162
00:23:55,027 --> 00:23:57,525
Why were a hundred railways in cities like New York,
163
00:23:57,853 --> 00:24:01,598
Philadelphia, and Los Angles bought
up and then deliberately destroyed?
164
00:24:01,925 --> 00:24:05,145
Why do the electric cars get scrapped?
165
00:24:06,295 --> 00:24:08,795
Why were we, along with Australia,
166
00:24:12,369 --> 00:24:18,073
Why was an oil company lobbyist allowed to change
official government reports on global warming?
167
00:24:21,531 --> 00:24:27,080
Why was the same PR firm employed by the tobacco industry
to persuade the public that smoking is healthy,
168
00:24:27,407 --> 00:24:32,050
then employed by the oil industry to convince us
there was still doubt about climate change?
169
00:24:37,003 --> 00:24:42,212
Alternative energy has been available
for 50 years, why have we barely used it?
170
00:24:43,923 --> 00:24:47,115
Why were solar panels
taking off the white house?
171
00:24:48,473 --> 00:24:50,968
Because right from the
early days of the industry,
172
00:24:51,295 --> 00:24:55,511
the oil men and their unseen profit have had
an unhealthy influence on the people running our country.
173
00:24:55,838 --> 00:24:58,338
And now, they all are
the people running our country.
174
00:25:02,152 --> 00:25:04,652
And they're providing the cash, too.
175
00:25:06,296 --> 00:25:08,686
Oil business isn't just
in bed with the government,
176
00:25:09,013 --> 00:25:11,403
it is the government.
177
00:25:15,925 --> 00:25:19,040
Here, Layefa is going to a nearby village,
178
00:25:19,367 --> 00:25:22,717
Oiama, that was massacre by the government.
179
00:25:23,393 --> 00:25:27,490
The village was involved in a dispute
about ownership of a piece of land,
180
00:25:27,817 --> 00:25:29,831
on which Shell planed to drill for oil.
181
00:25:30,158 --> 00:25:32,960
The government claimed that
the village was harboring terrorists,
182
00:25:33,287 --> 00:25:36,362
and when they sent
the military in to find those terrorists,
183
00:25:36,689 --> 00:25:39,189
the villagers opened fire on the soldiers.
184
00:25:40,430 --> 00:25:45,138
Layefa has gone to hear the villagers' side
of the story, from Omiekma Wekid
185
00:26:51,082 --> 00:26:54,757
Amnesty international investigated
the massacre and concluded that,
186
00:26:55,085 --> 00:26:58,075
although the government
was responsible for the killings,
187
00:26:58,402 --> 00:27:03,272
Shell Nigeria should have made sure that
their activities did not contribute to the conflict.
188
00:27:36,156 --> 00:27:38,656
they burned them off.
189
00:27:44,728 --> 00:27:49,631
Human history is littered, with the corpses
of people who had stuff worth stealing.
190
00:27:52,052 --> 00:27:54,552
Animals,
191
00:27:55,426 --> 00:27:57,926
water,
192
00:28:02,687 --> 00:28:05,187
shinny things,
193
00:28:07,835 --> 00:28:10,335
fertile land,
194
00:28:14,757 --> 00:28:17,257
spices.
195
00:28:22,095 --> 00:28:25,257
Hmm! Nutmeg slice, tea?
196
00:28:30,295 --> 00:28:34,301
But when it came to stuff worth
pinching one continent had it all,
197
00:28:35,444 --> 00:28:41,944
ivory, copper, cotton, rubber, wood,
tin, gold, diamonds, and people.
198
00:28:45,948 --> 00:28:49,509
As cheap energy, slaves were unbeatable,
199
00:28:49,836 --> 00:28:52,701
until the less troublesome
energy source was discovered,
200
00:28:53,028 --> 00:28:54,953
and the new era began.
201
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,916
Human numbers increased 5 times over.
202
00:28:58,243 --> 00:29:00,915
And with each person
wanting more and more stuff,
203
00:29:01,242 --> 00:29:06,491
oil became "the resource"
worth fighting for all around the world.
204
00:29:55,051 --> 00:29:57,493
Well, you want to know
the real reason why to warn Iraq?
205
00:29:57,820 --> 00:30:01,804
According to the former Federal Reserve
chairman Alan Greenspan, it's a simple, 3 letter answer.
206
00:30:02,131 --> 00:30:04,631
Not WMD, it's O-I-L.
207
00:30:14,414 --> 00:30:16,308
You might read the ex-chairman of Shell
208
00:30:16,635 --> 00:30:21,335
that said over weekend that oil can hit over 150 dollars
a barrel as world production begins to peak,
209
00:30:21,662 --> 00:30:25,591
not really good news for
a country whose entire economy,
210
00:30:25,918 --> 00:30:28,283
not to mention its entire way of life,
211
00:30:28,611 --> 00:30:30,976
is based on cheap oil.
212
00:32:30,311 --> 00:32:32,652
we left the world in a better place,
213
00:32:32,980 --> 00:32:35,174
then we found it, that was progress,
214
00:32:35,502 --> 00:32:39,479
the wheel, rule of law, penicillin.
215
00:32:39,806 --> 00:32:43,616
It was our covenant
to our children, grandchildren;
216
00:32:43,943 --> 00:32:48,578
my children went angry with me
for breaking the covenant,
217
00:32:48,905 --> 00:32:53,827
they were too busy trying to stay alive
to waste energy on blame,
218
00:32:54,154 --> 00:32:59,885
trying to negotiate their way through food riots,
refugee camps, and the collapse of society.
219
00:33:00,212 --> 00:33:03,199
But I think my grandchildren
would have been angry,
220
00:33:03,526 --> 00:33:06,347
had they survived into adulthood.
221
00:34:55,073 --> 00:34:57,573
Skiing in desserts,
222
00:35:00,502 --> 00:35:03,002
heating the air,
223
00:35:03,820 --> 00:35:05,652
lighting empty offices,
224
00:35:05,979 --> 00:35:11,287
energy is so ridiculously cheap it makes
perfect economic sense to just pick it away.
225
00:35:11,614 --> 00:35:17,446
China is new bad guy, because they're building
a new power station every 4 days.
226
00:35:17,773 --> 00:35:20,389
But the quarter of that
energy makes stuffs for us.
227
00:35:20,716 --> 00:35:25,810
Western company pay Chinese workers
crap wages to make crap plastic toys,
228
00:35:26,137 --> 00:35:28,632
then ship them to Europe,
and wrap them in more plastic.
229
00:35:28,959 --> 00:35:33,377
Punters drive to the out-of-town
megastore in their gas-guzzlers.
230
00:35:33,704 --> 00:35:36,731
Plastic toy and plastic box
goes into plastic bag.
231
00:35:37,058 --> 00:35:39,029
2 days later, toy broken,
232
00:35:39,356 --> 00:35:44,380
and back it goes to a Chinese landfill where it
stays for about, hmm, 50 thousand years?
233
00:35:45,716 --> 00:35:52,216
Water from the bottle's
much better than the tap.
234
00:35:54,159 --> 00:35:58,489
...Mountain spring spot.
235
00:35:58,816 --> 00:36:00,927
800 times more energy wasted
236
00:36:01,254 --> 00:36:03,084
and 10,000 times more expensive for you.
237
00:36:03,411 --> 00:36:05,748
It's a tricky decision.
238
00:40:29,894 --> 00:40:32,691
Lots of ideas have tried
to take over the world,
239
00:40:33,018 --> 00:40:35,518
but there's only one winner.
240
00:40:36,546 --> 00:40:38,924
3000 adverts bombard us every day.
241
00:40:39,251 --> 00:40:42,544
Telling us we'll be happier,
more atracttive with better skin,
242
00:40:42,871 --> 00:40:44,723
if only we buy their product.
243
00:40:45,050 --> 00:40:45,575
To get there,
244
00:40:45,902 --> 00:40:49,533
they create incentives and insatiable
desire to buy more and more stuff.
245
00:40:49,860 --> 00:40:52,891
Americans have been advertised that longest,
246
00:40:53,218 --> 00:40:56,490
and they now each consumed
twice as much energy as an European,
247
00:40:56,817 --> 00:40:58,765
9 times more than a Chinese person,
248
00:40:59,092 --> 00:41:00,733
15 times more than an Indian,
249
00:41:01,060 --> 00:41:03,381
and 50 times more than someone from Kenya.
250
00:41:03,708 --> 00:41:09,483
If all the 65 billion here on earth
consumed like European or Japanese,
251
00:41:09,810 --> 00:41:13,002
we need two more planets worth of resources.
252
00:41:13,329 --> 00:41:16,742
If everyone consumed like
American or Australian and Canadian,
253
00:41:17,069 --> 00:41:18,515
we need another four.
254
00:41:18,842 --> 00:41:22,382
And in 2040 or so when
there are about 90 billion of us,
255
00:41:22,709 --> 00:41:24,370
we need two more again.
256
00:41:24,697 --> 00:41:27,200
Capitalism's only goal
is ever expending growth,
257
00:41:27,527 --> 00:41:31,243
but ever expending growth
on just a one not expending planet
258
00:41:31,570 --> 00:41:33,015
It's impossible.
259
00:41:33,342 --> 00:41:35,644
The con economic system is disastrous,
260
00:41:35,972 --> 00:41:38,809
not just for the planet
, but for most people, too.
261
00:41:39,136 --> 00:41:44,649
400 years of capitalism has allowed
the richest one 1% to take 40% for themselves,
262
00:41:44,976 --> 00:41:47,661
leaving just 1% for the poorest to have.
263
00:41:47,988 --> 00:41:52,850
But anyone wanting to live
differently is fool ticket every time.
264
00:41:53,177 --> 00:41:56,074
With profit, the only measuring step,
265
00:41:56,401 --> 00:41:59,390
destroying the planet
is written into the system,
266
00:41:59,718 --> 00:42:03,574
and run away climate change
is not very surprising result.
267
00:42:22,220 --> 00:42:25,232
The logo effectively is color,
you know, light grey, you know,
268
00:42:25,559 --> 00:42:27,928
orange telecom, they are orangey black.
269
00:42:28,255 --> 00:42:30,624
Our logo is fluorescent color.
270
00:42:34,897 --> 00:42:38,069
Where everything changes in economy
in minute, you have an airline moving in.
271
00:42:38,396 --> 00:42:41,024
Because people can basically
do business alot faster,
272
00:42:42,324 --> 00:42:45,328
if businesses grow a lot faster,
people have more disposable income,
273
00:42:45,655 --> 00:42:47,694
then, you know, consumerism sets in,
274
00:42:48,021 --> 00:42:50,805
and you know where the verge
where base consumerism is setting in,
275
00:42:52,309 --> 00:42:54,809
just moving a lot like America.
276
00:43:52,510 --> 00:43:55,079
Here, Jeh travels to
Airbus headquarter in France,
277
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:59,590
as they'll be supplying him
with 26 planes in his first 3 years.
278
00:43:59,917 --> 00:44:05,364
We have only 200 aircrafts
commercially flying in India, China has 800.
279
00:44:06,114 --> 00:44:08,848
Ultimately, you know,
we have a very long way to go,
280
00:44:09,175 --> 00:44:10,998
playing catch up with China
catch up with Europe,
281
00:44:11,325 --> 00:44:15,010
or, you know, say, America one airline
South West, has 417 aircrafts.
282
00:44:15,338 --> 00:44:17,838
That's double the amount
of aircrafts we have as a country.
283
00:44:23,282 --> 00:44:26,300
You know, we simple sentence
for me, summarizes it all.
284
00:44:26,627 --> 00:44:29,127
Thing is gonna get better.
285
00:45:04,086 --> 00:45:07,049
In my main house,
is has 10 feet of water in it,
286
00:45:07,376 --> 00:45:11,663
marinated in that sludge
for 3 weeks, almost.
287
00:45:11,990 --> 00:45:14,556
So it's current state of
my house, it's been demolished.
288
00:45:14,883 --> 00:45:18,484
It's flat piece of a property waiting
for another house to go on that.
289
00:45:20,139 --> 00:45:22,761
I lost everything, everything that i owned,
290
00:45:23,088 --> 00:45:28,274
I mean everything from family heirlooms
to the paper towels sitting on your kitchen counter,
291
00:45:28,601 --> 00:45:32,052
in everything in between, it goes on and on.
292
00:45:40,225 --> 00:45:44,139
Two beautiful, beautiful
oak trees I did not lose,
293
00:45:44,466 --> 00:45:48,305
you know, local, indigenous,
quikes, virginianas, live oaks
294
00:45:48,632 --> 00:45:51,050
that sprawl all over the place,
beautiful, beautiful things.
295
00:45:51,377 --> 00:45:55,754
That's what I have left, two old oak trees and
an empty lawn, everything else is gone.
296
00:45:56,935 --> 00:45:59,435
That sucks.
297
00:46:02,538 --> 00:46:09,038
Losing everything you have,
it's so overwhelming.
298
00:46:09,458 --> 00:46:14,057
And the grief that comes
with that, it is just profound.
299
00:46:18,105 --> 00:46:23,037
We have an unspoken collected pact
to pretend climate change wasn't happening,
300
00:46:23,364 --> 00:46:27,193
as though as long we ignore it
hard enough, It wouldn't be true.
301
00:46:31,123 --> 00:46:35,685
Not absolutely everyone,
a few were shouting fire.
302
00:46:41,272 --> 00:46:42,480
Hello, come on in.
303
00:46:42,807 --> 00:46:45,762
One of the greatest difficulties
with climate change
304
00:46:46,089 --> 00:46:51,172
is that the effects of our emissions today are
not actually realized in terms of the temperature
305
00:46:51,499 --> 00:46:53,900
for 30 or 40 years so there
is this time-lag system.
306
00:46:54,227 --> 00:46:56,734
Which makes it difficult for us,
humans, to respond
307
00:46:57,061 --> 00:47:00,430
because we're evolutionary equipped
to deal with the very immediate threats
308
00:47:00,757 --> 00:47:02,534
like advancing armies or dangerous animals.
309
00:47:02,861 --> 00:47:07,865
We're not so well-equipped with dealing rationally
with very long term problems like climate change.
310
00:47:08,541 --> 00:47:11,216
So we have to act now to stop
something happening in the future,
311
00:47:11,543 --> 00:47:14,837
if we wait until the full temperature
effects are already upon us,
312
00:47:15,164 --> 00:47:16,655
then it's far too late to stop.
313
00:47:16,982 --> 00:47:19,854
If you remember one single
number above all else,
314
00:47:20,181 --> 00:47:22,000
2Ť×ĄC
make it two degrees,
315
00:47:22,327 --> 00:47:24,137
now everyone in the world pretty much,
316
00:47:24,464 --> 00:47:28,420
the European Union, big multi-national corporations,
Greenpeace, political parties,
317
00:47:28,747 --> 00:47:34,484
all agreed that we have to stabilize global temperatures
within 2 degrees above pre-industrial level,
318
00:47:34,811 --> 00:47:40,312
and the reason for that is because, if you cross that threshold,
the narrow tipping point in the earth system,
319
00:47:40,639 --> 00:47:43,475
which could drive the warming
process essentially out of control.
320
00:47:43,802 --> 00:47:46,230
Huge amount of carbon
could be coming out of the world,
321
00:47:46,558 --> 00:47:49,885
trees and soils, methane could be coming
out of the perma-frost in Siberia
322
00:47:50,212 --> 00:47:53,456
and it's that extra input of greenhouse gases
into the atmosphere,
323
00:47:53,783 --> 00:47:57,111
which then leads us up to the worst case
scenario to 6 or more degrees
324
00:47:57,438 --> 00:47:59,812
and the eventual wipeout of most
of the life on earth.
325
00:48:00,139 --> 00:48:04,674
So power emission has been going up
, between, let's says, 1950,
326
00:48:05,001 --> 00:48:10,748
and now they need to level out
, stabilize, and then decline
327
00:48:11,075 --> 00:48:16,223
just as rapidly to sustainable
levels about an 80% cut by 2050.
328
00:48:16,550 --> 00:48:20,353
But crucially, to keep the temperature
rise within 2 degrees,
329
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:25,904
this point of stabilization need
to be at around 2015.
330
00:48:26,231 --> 00:48:29,865
And so that means, really, the time,
timeline we've got, ticking clock,
331
00:48:30,192 --> 00:48:36,499
is that we have to stabilize global emission
within just 7 years from now as we speak 2008.
332
00:48:39,090 --> 00:48:43,891
And scale of this task to achieve
a transformation to a low carbon economy
333
00:48:44,218 --> 00:48:47,131
of the entire,
entirety of human civilization,
334
00:48:47,458 --> 00:48:51,528
is obviously, is huge, monumental task,
probably the greatest humanity ever faced.
335
00:49:00,597 --> 00:49:03,265
Remember the English family
who went to see the glacier?
336
00:49:03,592 --> 00:49:06,373
They're back home in Cornwall,
south west England,
337
00:49:06,700 --> 00:49:09,649
inspire to start tackling
their own energy wasting.
338
00:49:09,976 --> 00:49:16,476
It says that the average Individual in the UK responsible
for emitting 10 tons of greenhouse gas a year.
339
00:49:18,024 --> 00:49:23,389
They're calculating exactly how much
climate-change-gases their family currently produces,
340
00:49:23,716 --> 00:49:25,755
and how it can be reduced.
341
00:49:26,082 --> 00:49:28,419
Yeah, but that's the average
individual, there are five of us.
342
00:49:30,644 --> 00:49:33,786
Whichever way you look at this,
it isn't good.
343
00:49:36,773 --> 00:49:43,273
We produce about half of our food, and we try keep
our consumption of meat and dairy down.
344
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:51,400
My car runs on chick fat and
we do cycle when we can.
345
00:49:51,727 --> 00:49:56,458
We just got our wind turbine,
which will produce all our own electricity.
346
00:49:57,838 --> 00:50:01,778
We're aiming to cut down to
about one ton each per year,
347
00:50:02,105 --> 00:50:07,388
which is apparently the sustainable amount
that the world's trees and plants can reabsorb.
348
00:50:07,715 --> 00:50:13,465
But the big problem is flying,
just one mid-term flight, say, London to New York,
349
00:50:13,792 --> 00:50:18,070
would blow our entire carbon
budget for about 3.5 years.
350
00:50:18,397 --> 00:50:20,827
Apparently, other than
setting fire to a forest,
351
00:50:21,154 --> 00:50:25,288
flying is the single worst thing an ordinary
individual can do to cause climate change.
352
00:50:25,615 --> 00:50:30,720
So, it's a bit of a dilemma, because we've
just been invited to go skiing in France.
353
00:50:31,047 --> 00:50:34,049
Then I am flying from Newquay
, which is our nearest airport,
354
00:50:34,376 --> 00:50:37,431
say, 40 minutes from here, to Bergerac,
355
00:50:37,758 --> 00:50:42,205
which is like, you know, an hour and
a half or something, from it.
356
00:50:42,532 --> 00:50:46,303
And literally we could leave here in
the morning that's we leave like in, Cornwall,
357
00:50:46,630 --> 00:50:48,376
we could leave Cornwall in the morning,
358
00:50:48,703 --> 00:50:53,205
and be in Bergerac by sort of,
for lunch, after lunch.
359
00:50:53,532 --> 00:50:58,124
But if you actually think, this is going to cause
the death of people, actually in effect
360
00:50:58,451 --> 00:51:03,656
people are make that direct connection
, then it's a really scary thought.
361
00:51:04,550 --> 00:51:11,050
Obviously, us not flying to France or not flying,
wherever it's hard to guess, will solve the problem.
362
00:51:12,062 --> 00:51:14,907
But it's down to what you think
it's the correct thing to do.
363
00:51:16,215 --> 00:51:19,097
Because everyone else's doing it, I mean,
that is not a good reason to do anything.
364
00:51:19,424 --> 00:51:25,119
You know, to look at the terrible things
in our history that everyone regrets now,
365
00:51:25,446 --> 00:51:28,004
you know, massacres,
the holocaust a lot of that,
366
00:51:28,331 --> 00:51:33,158
was just going a long way what was
the predominant thinking at the time.
367
00:51:36,111 --> 00:51:38,627
I almost jealous at the time,
368
00:51:38,954 --> 00:51:43,795
5 or 10 years ago when I could
just jump on a plane with impunity,
369
00:51:44,122 --> 00:51:49,287
I didn't even think about it,it's blissful,
no moral dilemma there, whatsoever.
370
00:51:50,903 --> 00:51:54,074
Needless to say,
they didn't take that flight.
371
00:51:54,401 --> 00:51:57,723
And joining the climate change protest march
372
00:51:58,050 --> 00:52:00,903
may not be everybody's idea
of the 10th wedding anniversary,
373
00:52:01,230 --> 00:52:04,926
but Piers and Lisa have share
ideals from the moment they met.
374
00:52:05,253 --> 00:52:07,931
My friend, we went along
to the party together,
375
00:52:08,258 --> 00:52:10,793
and she just basically took me
straight over to Piers and said,
376
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:15,804
"Hey, look," you know "Piers
, this is Lisa. " And, dah dah dah
377
00:52:16,131 --> 00:52:19,670
And that was it, that was it. We just...
378
00:52:19,997 --> 00:52:25,429
and spent the whole evening
talking about wind turbines.
379
00:52:27,638 --> 00:52:34,138
Piers has been developing wind farms in Africa,
America, and Britain for over 15 years.
380
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,913
But he knows that they only
help slow the climate crisis
381
00:52:38,240 --> 00:52:42,335
as a small part of a total
reordering of western society.
382
00:52:44,474 --> 00:52:48,245
And there still is an idea that somehow
we have to find the solution,
383
00:52:48,572 --> 00:52:49,809
you know, the silver bullet.
384
00:52:50,136 --> 00:52:54,215
No single renewable source is going to
be the solution, absolutely not.
385
00:52:56,223 --> 00:52:59,052
And Piers doesn't think
much of the other option,
386
00:52:59,379 --> 00:53:01,226
whereby everyone crosses their fingers
387
00:53:01,553 --> 00:53:04,832
and hopes that the miracle
technology will be invented in time.
388
00:53:05,159 --> 00:53:09,599
I'm not saying we shouldn't be developing
other stuff, absolutely, we should be.
389
00:53:09,926 --> 00:53:12,510
We should be throwing everything after it.
390
00:53:12,837 --> 00:53:15,169
But, you've got to make
use of what's available now.
391
00:53:15,496 --> 00:53:17,975
And in the UK, we've
got a great wind resource,
392
00:53:18,302 --> 00:53:21,065
and we just got to bite
the bullet and go for it.
393
00:53:21,533 --> 00:53:26,305
Piers has purposed a new wind farm as airfield farm
at Airfield Farm in Bedfordshire, central England.
394
00:53:26,632 --> 00:53:32,967
He could have 15 turbines installed and generating
13 megawatts of electricity within a year.
395
00:53:42,175 --> 00:53:47,233
Well, the process balloon is now going up, but
while that's happening, I'll just explain where we are.
396
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:55,039
We all have our thumb down as well.
397
00:53:55,366 --> 00:54:01,866
UK-wise surveys point to about 70 ~ 80%
in favor of wind farm as a concept.
398
00:54:02,324 --> 00:54:04,810
The difficulty is when you
got one on your own doorstep,
399
00:54:05,137 --> 00:54:08,721
and then there is the sort of
"not-in-my-backyard" syndrome.
400
00:54:09,048 --> 00:54:10,388
Jim, what's the problem?
401
00:54:10,715 --> 00:54:14,686
The problem really is that this is one of the
least windy sites in the country.
402
00:54:15,013 --> 00:54:18,686
I hope it's not gonna get too windy tomorrow
and it wraps itself around the church.
403
00:54:19,013 --> 00:54:25,202
Well, I live in Coddington, and we're going to be
absolutely surrounded by these high moss.
404
00:54:25,529 --> 00:54:27,435
They're going to obliterate the view.
405
00:54:27,762 --> 00:54:31,759
What it normally always comes down to
with wind farms is the aesthetics, you know.
406
00:54:32,086 --> 00:54:36,888
Everything else is basically put together
to try and back up the ultimate thing,
407
00:54:37,215 --> 00:54:39,905
the ultimate thing is they
don't want to spoil their view.
408
00:54:40,232 --> 00:54:43,887
But I'm bit concern about
the low level noise as well.
409
00:54:44,214 --> 00:54:50,010
The wind farm site is right next to world
famous Santa Pod drag-racing strip.
410
00:54:54,015 --> 00:54:57,807
Anybody you ask it, nobody's against
wind energy, that's the point,
411
00:54:58,134 --> 00:55:00,906
t's against inappropriate wind energy use.
412
00:55:01,233 --> 00:55:06,134
Hypnotic, you're driving alone, and
you tend to saw this sails revolving,
413
00:55:06,461 --> 00:55:09,559
and you're not concentrating on the driving.
414
00:55:09,886 --> 00:55:14,176
Eurney Braddock will benefit
financially having turbine on his farm,
415
00:55:14,503 --> 00:55:17,684
but now he's in conflict
with his neighbor, Victoria Reeves.
416
00:55:18,011 --> 00:55:22,021
Well, everyone is very unhappy about it,
we're gonna lose the value of our properties,
417
00:55:22,348 --> 00:55:26,365
we are not going to be able to sleep, it will make
a difference, Eurney you have no idea, believe me.
418
00:55:26,692 --> 00:55:27,741
According to Victoria,
419
00:55:28,068 --> 00:55:32,190
they stop to wind farm up in
Scotland on the other estate in Scotland.
420
00:55:32,517 --> 00:55:35,479
Back in the mid-90's
that was a great victory.
421
00:55:35,806 --> 00:55:39,326
"It can't rely on the wind, it can
only deliver ", "It's an additive. "
422
00:55:39,653 --> 00:55:45,818
"Additive? Do you mean additional? Yes, it is additional. "
"It's a economics resources, put it that way. "
423
00:55:46,145 --> 00:55:50,797
"No, Eurney, it doesn't. It's got to, it's got to.
It does nothing of the sort, believe me. "
424
00:55:51,124 --> 00:55:56,841
It's an emotional campaign, it's about fear
mostly based on complete BS, frankly.
425
00:55:57,168 --> 00:56:00,227
But never mind, facts are not
a problem, you know.
426
00:56:00,554 --> 00:56:04,966
"It's a fair fight, and
I hope you lose. ", "Alright. "
427
00:56:11,078 --> 00:56:16,554
This is august 2005, just after
Mumbai's worst ever floods.
428
00:56:16,881 --> 00:56:19,810
And a couple of months
before Jeh's first flight.
429
00:56:26,177 --> 00:56:31,922
Show daddy how good you ride this,
show daddy how fast you can go, come on.
430
00:56:33,536 --> 00:56:37,212
Wooo... No more pushing
, it's battery operated.
431
00:56:37,539 --> 00:56:41,807
"So, I can't finish either.
" "Hey, grandpa... "
432
00:56:42,134 --> 00:56:46,569
Jeh is descended from one of India's richest
and most powerful business dynasties.
433
00:56:46,896 --> 00:56:52,028
They pioneered everything from ship building
from the 18 centuries to internet services in the 21st.
434
00:56:52,355 --> 00:56:58,219
And around about way, his privileged up bringing
sparked the idea for the low cost airline.
435
00:56:58,546 --> 00:57:01,046
What do you want me to do?
I'm going to the airport.
436
00:57:01,986 --> 00:57:04,631
Throughout basically my life, at young age,
437
00:57:04,958 --> 00:57:09,271
I mean, I used to hang out with tons of,
you know, servants' kids. You know, that sort of stuff.
438
00:57:09,598 --> 00:57:12,950
You know, and when you go home,
you say..., you suddenly think,
439
00:57:13,277 --> 00:57:16,170
why do I have so much,
and these guys have nothing.
440
00:57:16,497 --> 00:57:20,762
And that sort of, and
that constantly adding up.
441
00:57:22,376 --> 00:57:24,891
You know, everyone is here for a purpose.
442
00:57:25,218 --> 00:57:29,714
The idea is to realize what your higher purpose is,
and then realize how you gonna fulfill it.
443
00:57:30,041 --> 00:57:34,050
And eventually I realize
what my higher purpose was,
444
00:57:34,377 --> 00:57:37,003
it was to insure that I eradicated poverty.
445
00:57:45,476 --> 00:57:51,021
Jeh volunteers at the charity which helps
villagers lift themselves out of poverty.
446
00:57:51,348 --> 00:57:53,416
But even by private jet and jeep,
447
00:57:53,743 --> 00:57:56,836
it's a 5 hour, 900 kilometers journey.
448
00:57:57,163 --> 00:58:01,200
Hiring a private jet is basically in
terms of costs as much as the village does,
449
00:58:01,527 --> 00:58:04,320
you know, take a village from below
the poverty and put it above the poverty.
450
00:58:04,647 --> 00:58:07,147
So effectively, in terms of it
defeats the purpose.
451
00:58:08,714 --> 00:58:13,961
And therefore I decided to, you know..
try the trains, from Bombay takes about 26 hours.
452
00:58:14,288 --> 00:58:16,444
I said to myself, "wow,
this is incredible. "
453
00:58:16,771 --> 00:58:20,080
You know, people pay good money and
still have to basically put with this rubbish.
454
00:58:22,268 --> 00:58:27,118
15 million people travel by
trains in India every single day.
455
00:58:27,445 --> 00:58:31,933
Jeh's dream is to get them all off
the trains and into the skies.
456
00:58:33,727 --> 00:58:36,460
We're not at war at
the moment. It's not a war.
457
00:58:36,787 --> 00:58:41,122
But people actually recognize that
full implications of what's in store for us,
458
00:58:41,449 --> 00:58:43,949
they would be treating it like a war.
459
00:58:49,147 --> 00:58:51,409
If anybody takes Airfield Farm for example,
460
00:58:51,736 --> 00:58:52,683
I mean that was the year it was airbase,
461
00:58:53,010 --> 00:58:54,731
people flew out there and died.
462
00:58:55,058 --> 00:59:00,699
Or of course, which was massive at the time,
the global problem, and we have ourselves out.
463
00:59:01,026 --> 00:59:05,194
A real global problem that needs
that kind of level of commitment.
464
00:59:07,132 --> 00:59:11,966
There are many, many other industries
that need to be looked in to first, before aviation.
465
00:59:12,293 --> 00:59:15,682
it's not questionable
choosing one industry to target,
466
00:59:16,009 --> 00:59:19,181
in ultimate deal, we all contribute
to to to greenhouse gases,
467
00:59:19,508 --> 00:59:22,738
we all contribute to the crisis
that we have today with the planet.
468
00:59:23,065 --> 00:59:24,489
So ultimately, in terms of, you know...
469
00:59:24,816 --> 00:59:31,153
insuring our planet is safe and
healthy is each one's job, task.
470
00:59:32,693 --> 00:59:35,778
Whether you do it in your own
way by using less tissue paper,
471
00:59:36,105 --> 00:59:40,494
using less papers, less trees cut
buying green cars or not flying.
472
00:59:40,821 --> 00:59:44,255
Obviously, if you're not doing it,
and the demand goes down,
473
00:59:44,582 --> 00:59:46,002
the demand goes down, the supply goes down.
474
00:59:46,329 --> 00:59:50,108
Life is about demand and supply
or supply and demand.
475
01:01:12,654 --> 01:01:16,033
Strange. Watching this film fragment.
476
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:21,073
Like looking through binoculars
observing people of far of beach.
477
01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:26,675
Running around in circle, fixated on
the small area of sand under their feet.
478
01:01:27,002 --> 01:01:30,218
As a tsunami races toward the shore.
479
01:01:42,969 --> 01:01:49,015
Here's Alvin. He's just taken early retirement
after thirty years on the oil industry salary.
480
01:01:49,342 --> 01:01:52,836
And he's planning to spend his later
years outside enjoying nature.
481
01:01:53,163 --> 01:01:57,011
Oh, certainly I'm ecologist, and
an environmentalist.
482
01:01:57,338 --> 01:02:01,678
I really don't have
a problem squaring that...
483
01:02:02,005 --> 01:02:06,953
Working for an oil company
that I feel... has...
484
01:02:08,563 --> 01:02:13,682
done a pretty good job and
in being environmentally friendly.
485
01:02:16,484 --> 01:02:22,984
When I started working in
the oil industries, about the mid 70's,
486
01:02:23,332 --> 01:02:26,455
it was clear path for me,
as a scientist coming up college
487
01:02:27,725 --> 01:02:33,778
And I didn't know the detail of what goes on
in the oil industry, the goods and the bad.
488
01:02:34,105 --> 01:02:37,330
But indeed every industry
has that, goods and bad.
489
01:02:37,915 --> 01:02:42,390
Would I do it again, knowing what I know now,
of course I would do it again,
490
01:02:42,717 --> 01:02:46,251
I mean, you need to work,
you need to do something
491
01:03:27,619 --> 01:03:30,012
The worst example I've had is a lady,
492
01:03:30,339 --> 01:03:32,799
an old lady came up to me,
at the public exhibition.
493
01:03:33,126 --> 01:03:39,456
And gave me a cutting from a newspaper,
with a picture of guy being shot
494
01:03:41,432 --> 01:03:44,326
Local anti-campaign is
one of the key factors,
495
01:03:44,653 --> 01:03:48,534
stopping about 80% of the proposed
wind energy project in Britain.
496
01:03:48,861 --> 01:03:53,755
Had they all been built, 10% of our
Electricity would've been non-polluted.
497
01:03:55,733 --> 01:04:00,308
How the heck are we meant to persuade
people in India and China
498
01:04:00,635 --> 01:04:04,728
that they should develop in a more sustainable
way when we are not prepared to even to accept
499
01:04:05,055 --> 01:04:07,881
you know, the old wind farming landscape.
500
01:04:08,208 --> 01:04:09,952
"So how's it going?", "All right, yes. "
501
01:04:10,279 --> 01:04:14,845
"Not too much trouble?", "Not really,
no, nobody's punched me up. "
502
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:18,248
Pierce has come back to the Ernie's farm
503
01:04:18,575 --> 01:04:20,827
with a plan to make
the turbine less visible.
504
01:04:21,155 --> 01:04:23,355
Trying to kick start the planning process
505
01:04:23,682 --> 01:04:26,442
that the anti-campaign has now
held up for eighteen months.
506
01:04:27,319 --> 01:04:29,398
Another eighteen months of climate change
507
01:04:29,725 --> 01:04:33,206
Another eighteen months,
where I'm able to do nothing about it.
508
01:04:37,508 --> 01:04:41,759
You must be feeling the same as me.
It just, I mean how long have we got...
509
01:04:42,086 --> 01:04:47,321
Pierce's compromise reduces the number
of turbines from fifteen down to nine.
510
01:04:47,648 --> 01:04:53,561
This is still the equivalent electrical
power to fair eleven thousand homes.
511
01:04:53,888 --> 01:04:57,252
So there's still alot power.
512
01:04:57,579 --> 01:05:01,189
Exactly the opposite is happening,
to the very thing that needs to happen.
513
01:05:01,516 --> 01:05:05,941
These things need to be speeded up,
and actually, they're getting slowed down.
514
01:05:06,268 --> 01:05:10,304
Plenty of politicians are talking about it,
but when it comes down to it,
515
01:05:10,631 --> 01:05:14,105
It's just not happening.
It's Just not happening, folks.
516
01:05:16,348 --> 01:05:20,579
Governments will only go as
far as the population demands.
517
01:05:20,906 --> 01:05:25,402
And that means mass protest
on unprecedented scale.
518
01:05:26,771 --> 01:05:29,852
Direct action like this is essential,
519
01:05:30,179 --> 01:05:33,524
if you were going to turn an issue
around in a short period of time.
520
01:05:33,851 --> 01:05:37,828
We've found that many many times in the past,
from the suffragettes onwards.
521
01:05:42,330 --> 01:05:48,342
The very fact that the crisis is taking place in
our generations is happening right now,
522
01:05:48,669 --> 01:05:51,839
means we are tremendously powerful people.
523
01:05:52,166 --> 01:05:56,558
So this position of despair,
and I can't do anything, there's no point.
524
01:05:56,885 --> 01:06:00,518
It's completely illogically,
it's exactly the opposite
525
01:07:15,198 --> 01:07:21,698
There's no shortage of great matter in
the species, we can do some amazing things.
526
01:07:24,141 --> 01:07:28,543
But I don't think we been very smart
about how we use our resources.
527
01:07:28,870 --> 01:07:35,069
How we quite literally burn up something
as beautiful and useful as all.
528
01:07:35,396 --> 01:07:38,446
We literally burn it up.
That's it, it's gone, it's done.
529
01:07:40,125 --> 01:07:44,042
I think most people were
becoming disenchanted by this point.
530
01:07:44,369 --> 01:07:49,268
We'd stop believing that this was
the golden era of human civilization,
531
01:07:49,595 --> 01:07:52,385
and started questioning
our collective values.
532
01:07:55,302 --> 01:07:59,123
All I can hope is,
an incredible disasters like Katrina,
533
01:07:59,450 --> 01:08:02,623
and the horrible wars comes out and
what not, that are going on around the world
534
01:08:02,950 --> 01:08:05,062
will snap us out of it.
535
01:08:05,389 --> 01:08:08,560
Let's see if it's headed in
the right direction for the good of mankind.
536
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:44,050
For this disaster, I had a lot of stuff,
I was a classic consumer,
537
01:08:44,378 --> 01:08:50,878
Two years later, I've learned lot about
happiness and the pursuit thereof.
538
01:09:03,542 --> 01:09:10,042
The happiness is not in the latest gadgets,
the latest electric tooth brush, or something like that.
539
01:09:11,365 --> 01:09:16,865
All of that stuff. It's just not the stuff
of life. Not for me anyway.
540
01:09:54,108 --> 01:09:59,758
Climate scientist can estimate how much of
the remaining fossil fuels we can safely burn.
541
01:10:00,425 --> 01:10:03,487
This amount is called the "global cap. "
542
01:10:04,936 --> 01:10:09,140
Under this proposal, the world governments
will make a binding into international agreement
543
01:10:09,467 --> 01:10:11,631
detailing how to distribute the global cap.
544
01:10:11,958 --> 01:10:12,831
The earlier the start takes,
545
01:10:13,158 --> 01:10:15,818
of greater the chance of not
triggering runaway climate change.
546
01:10:16,146 --> 01:10:21,344
The total global emissions for the first year
say 2012, will be set for that current level.
547
01:10:21,671 --> 01:10:26,374
Every year following they'll shrink until
by about 2065, they're almost zero.
548
01:10:26,701 --> 01:10:31,499
Initially, each country would be
allocated an emissions quota,
549
01:10:31,826 --> 01:10:34,251
according to how much
they currently consume.
550
01:10:34,579 --> 01:10:36,655
But this would change over time
551
01:10:36,982 --> 01:10:41,586
America would slash its emissions 90%
from its current over consuming position.
552
01:10:41,913 --> 01:10:45,071
Europe too would decrease
massively, as would China.
553
01:10:45,398 --> 01:10:49,953
But India and Africa would
increase until by about 2025.
554
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,464
Each human being on the planet would
have equal rights to the earth's resources.
555
01:10:53,791 --> 01:10:56,020
Equity is the only option morally,
556
01:10:56,347 --> 01:10:59,697
and also practically as the developing
countries won't sign up for anything less.
557
01:11:00,024 --> 01:11:03,803
But total emissions would
then keep decreasing every year.
558
01:11:04,130 --> 01:11:07,503
Until by 2065 we'll have
waned ourselves off of fossil fuels
559
01:11:07,830 --> 01:11:10,532
and prevented the worst
impacts of climate change.
560
01:11:11,287 --> 01:11:16,223
As to how each country divvies up its share to
the system, there were various options on the table.
561
01:11:16,550 --> 01:11:19,483
The most promising of which
individual carbon rationing.
562
01:11:21,950 --> 01:11:25,010
Mr. W.S Morrison is here to explain.
563
01:11:25,337 --> 01:11:31,473
If in the culture of war, we are short
for a time of this or that article of food.
564
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:36,693
Rationing, will give every one,
rich and poor alike,
565
01:11:37,020 --> 01:11:39,833
an equal share of all its goods.
566
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:44,825
Down to the scheme. Everyone in UK would
be allocated to annual carbon allowance.
567
01:11:45,152 --> 01:11:47,555
So the electronic loyalty
as the supermarket loyalty card,
568
01:11:47,883 --> 01:11:51,586
points will be deducted every time
we buy or use non-renewable energy.
569
01:11:51,913 --> 01:11:55,183
For example, using electricity
to power appliances in the home,
570
01:11:55,510 --> 01:11:58,686
or traveling somewhere by plane,
or even buying petro-fuel for the car
571
01:11:59,013 --> 01:12:01,729
The best way you can help
is by rationing yourselves,
572
01:12:02,056 --> 01:12:07,405
I'm sure that all of you will
buy your fair share and no more.
573
01:12:09,868 --> 01:12:12,815
Airports were expanding all over the world,
574
01:12:13,142 --> 01:12:17,036
to cope with the exploding number of
cheap flights we were all demanding.
575
01:12:17,363 --> 01:12:21,138
And Jeh was doing everything
he could to join the party.
576
01:12:21,814 --> 01:12:26,603
Ultimately, the odd is to hug and then kick.
577
01:12:26,930 --> 01:12:30,694
She saying the PS is been payable, you're saying
the PS is not been payable. What's wrong with you?
578
01:12:31,021 --> 01:12:33,208
Now!
579
01:12:33,535 --> 01:12:36,943
Yes or no? That I ask you the question,
or did I not ask the question?
580
01:12:37,270 --> 01:12:40,970
You're suspended, you're suspended.
Both of you go out now.
581
01:12:48,249 --> 01:12:50,995
It's all in a day's work, haha...
582
01:12:51,322 --> 01:12:54,740
Maintaining my plane means
something to me, ok!?
583
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:58,143
If I see my step ladder like this,
584
01:12:58,470 --> 01:13:01,789
and if I find one piece of dirt
, you'll be fired.
585
01:13:02,402 --> 01:13:04,902
OK?
Ok?
586
01:13:37,450 --> 01:13:42,034
June 11. 2007, in the hotel room in Bedford.
587
01:13:42,361 --> 01:13:46,360
Pierce is polishing his speech for tonight
showdown with the local planning committee.
588
01:13:46,687 --> 01:13:51,267
This committee can approve this application.
589
01:13:51,594 --> 01:13:55,283
If you do, you would
show courage and leadership.
590
01:13:55,610 --> 01:13:59,966
He has just six minutes to convince
them to approve his wind farm.
591
01:14:00,593 --> 01:14:04,846
I'm absolutely confident,
that if you approve this project,
592
01:14:05,173 --> 01:14:09,399
you'll look back on the decision and
say "Thank goodness we said yes. "
593
01:14:09,726 --> 01:14:12,156
But the committee
rejected pierce's application,
594
01:14:12,483 --> 01:14:16,543
saying that his wind farm would be conspicuous and
out of place in the Bedfordshire landscape,
595
01:14:16,870 --> 01:14:19,541
that it would decrease
enjoyment of nearby foot paths
596
01:14:19,868 --> 01:14:23,049
and negatively impact the listed
buildings and the nation's monuments.
597
01:14:23,376 --> 01:14:26,073
In other words, it would spoil the view.
598
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:28,442
Oh we're delighted
that it's been refused, yes.
599
01:14:28,769 --> 01:14:29,810
It's a wonderful result.
600
01:14:30,137 --> 01:14:32,836
It just shows if you work hard
if you look at all the facts,
601
01:14:33,163 --> 01:14:37,446
if you do with fair and balance,
you can get a good outcome.
602
01:14:37,773 --> 01:14:41,673
10 against, one in favor,
might even be 11 against one in favor.
603
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:45,964
But there only one guy who
actually,actually votes in favor.
604
01:14:47,353 --> 01:14:49,853
Cheers, man.
605
01:14:56,021 --> 01:15:01,614
Hi, mom. It's Piers. I think it's
10 to one or 11 to one against.
606
01:15:13,185 --> 01:15:18,617
I could have said, be honest.
It wouldn't make any difference
607
01:15:20,617 --> 01:15:23,179
Of course we're worried
about global warming,
608
01:15:23,506 --> 01:15:26,759
I mean, it's got to be something
we all concerned about.
609
01:15:27,086 --> 01:15:31,404
I mean, we're doing our bit to try conserve
and looking for renewable energy.
610
01:15:31,731 --> 01:15:38,231
Of course, absolutely, yeah, I mean,
we're part of the worldhaha... yes.
611
01:15:40,012 --> 01:15:41,963
And it is global warming.
612
01:15:42,290 --> 01:15:46,753
For the first time, Scientists confirm the link
between climate change and our awful weather.
613
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,425
An emergency services
scramble and Bedfordshire
614
01:15:49,752 --> 01:15:52,096
And the flood water finally work
their way along the great tubes,
615
01:15:52,423 --> 01:15:54,896
other parts of Bedfordshire
didn't escape, either.
616
01:15:55,223 --> 01:16:00,556
We've lived at here for forty years,
and we've never ever
617
01:16:00,883 --> 01:16:02,555
have anything like this.
618
01:16:02,882 --> 01:16:06,220
80000 fatality in Burma today
after cyclone Nargis
619
01:16:06,547 --> 01:16:10,557
emergency across Western Europe with
drinking water strictly rationing in Holland, France..
620
01:16:10,884 --> 01:16:13,332
Forest fire is still sweep
across Vegas. Unfortunately,...
621
01:16:13,660 --> 01:16:18,353
30 million pounds, price worth paying
for motorists right to drive, said Lord Clarkson..
622
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,101
Good news for the UK wine
industries, especially
623
01:16:21,428 --> 01:16:25,332
New Orleans will not be rebuilt at
this time, the Louisiana government
624
01:16:25,659 --> 01:16:30,165
...Total Destruction of Indian Dams
would end Pakistan's drinking water crisis.
625
01:16:30,492 --> 01:16:32,992
As U.S president's choices to
continue out because of.
626
01:16:34,929 --> 01:16:39,751
San Francisco extraordinary
heat wave continue hit in Los Angeles
627
01:16:40,078 --> 01:16:43,076
Extreme weather somewhere around
the planet increasing in these days
628
01:16:43,403 --> 01:16:45,601
35 million Chinese refugees
629
01:16:45,928 --> 01:16:47,005
Skiing in the Alps is over
630
01:16:47,332 --> 01:16:51,539
Channel Four documentaries ask is
global warming really happening, or natural
631
01:16:51,866 --> 01:16:54,540
61 degrees centigrade
the highest land temperature
632
01:16:54,867 --> 01:16:57,438
More than a hundred
million people are homeless tonight
633
01:16:57,765 --> 01:16:59,062
Methane emitted in Siberia
634
01:16:59,389 --> 01:17:02,765
The last Indonesian tree found,
but five fuel crisis
635
01:17:03,092 --> 01:17:05,445
European Union today
permanently closed all of it
636
01:17:05,773 --> 01:17:08,088
...must be reserved for food production
637
01:17:08,416 --> 01:17:12,422
London Is under water again,
as last night 30 foot storm surge overcame
638
01:17:12,749 --> 01:17:17,176
New Zealand has also now closed its
borders leaving 22 million stranded
639
01:17:19,143 --> 01:17:22,245
...refugees in middle east and
continental Europe
640
01:17:22,572 --> 01:17:27,048
...half of the species are now extinct,
scientist estimate, and eco systems are collapsing.
641
01:17:27,375 --> 01:17:30,641
passing 2 degrees, we cannot
now stop runaway climate change
642
01:17:30,968 --> 01:17:33,375
There are simply too many people to
feed and are remained famine
643
01:17:33,702 --> 01:17:36,126
...suicide rates increasing
eight hundred percent
644
01:17:36,453 --> 01:17:37,968
The Amazon rain forest is still burning
645
01:17:38,295 --> 01:17:40,747
And anyone who cannot bear
to eat their own cats and dogs

01:17:41,074 --> 01:17:43,558
we are entering
the eighth world food crisis
647
01:17:43,886 --> 01:17:46,221
The world temperature
today is passing 4 degrees
648
01:17:46,548 --> 01:17:48,899
retaliation nuclear strike
649
01:17:59,985 --> 01:18:03,563
We wouldn't be the first life
form to wipe itself out.
650
01:18:03,890 --> 01:18:09,008
But what would be unique about us
is that we did it knowingly.
651
01:18:10,582 --> 01:18:12,978
And what's that say about us?
652
01:18:13,305 --> 01:18:15,769
The question I've been asking is,
653
01:18:16,096 --> 01:18:19,266
why didn't we save ourselves
when we had the chance?
654
01:18:19,593 --> 01:18:26,093
Is the answer because on some level,
we weren't sure if we were worth saving?
655
01:19:33,355 --> 01:19:38,194
Please proceed near the aircraft,
and take care of the responsibility.
656
01:19:38,521 --> 01:19:43,189
You know if all of us stood united, in terms,
the world would be different in every way,
657
01:19:43,516 --> 01:19:45,322
Unfortunately, that's not the reality.
658
01:19:45,649 --> 01:19:49,199
If we can not even stand united on
eradicating poverty in the world,
659
01:19:49,526 --> 01:19:52,577
what is the health of
the planet has any chance?
660
01:20:29,182 --> 01:20:35,286
In my opinion, our use or misuse
of resources in the last hundreds years or so,
661
01:20:35,613 --> 01:20:39,364
I probably would rename that,
age, something like the
662
01:20:39,691 --> 01:20:40,983
The age of ignorance.
663
01:20:41,310 --> 01:20:43,647
The age of stupid.
664
01:22:31,284 --> 01:22:34,996
I just find it, surprising.
665
01:22:35,323 --> 01:22:41,823
That after so much effort, the final act
of our existence, should be suicide.
666
01:22:42,605 --> 01:22:46,163
So why did I build this archive?
667
01:22:46,490 --> 01:22:48,424
It's a cautionary tale.
668
01:22:48,751 --> 01:22:51,822
Not for us. Too late for us.
669
01:22:52,149 --> 01:22:55,472
But for..., well...,
670
01:22:55,799 --> 01:23:01,988
for whoever, whatever,
eventually finds this recording.
671
01:23:14,643 --> 01:23:17,387
And away you go.
