Welcome to the global archive, |

a vast storage structure |
| 00:03:35 |
It contains the artwork |
| 00:03:43 |
There are pickled animals |
| 00:03:51 |
Every film, every book, |
| 00:03:54 |
all stored on banks of servers. |
| 00:04:03 |
But the conditions we are experiencing now, |
| 00:04:06 |
were actually cause by our behavior |
| 00:04:15 |
In other words, we could've saved ourselves |
| 00:04:32 |
We could've saved ourselves. |
| 00:04:34 |
But we didn't, it's amazing! |
| 00:04:38 |
What state of mind were we in, |
| 00:04:40 |
to face extinction, and simply shrug it off? |
| 00:04:54 |
By nature or by disinterest, |
| 00:04:58 |
For years, you know, |
| 00:05:02 |
blah, blah, blah,personality. |

He's got 1200 employees, most of whom |

What are the different kinds of |

Why are you scared of a little smoke? |
| 00:05:51 |
It's not a toy, it's not a perfume bottle, |
| 00:05:58 |
I was at London at the time, where Stelios Haji-loannou, |
| 00:06:02 |
and I was fascinated with |
| 00:06:04 |
Evacuate, evacuate |
| 00:06:07 |
Go this way, go this way |
| 00:06:19 |
We've been offering fares from 600 rupees |
| 00:06:24 |
How many people can afford a 1 rupee fare? |
| 00:06:30 |
That the, a rickshaw driver |
| 00:06:33 |
You know in year 2005, I mean, you know, |
| 00:06:36 |
having a elite class who can fly in |
| 00:06:42 |
Search: visible impacts of |
| 00:06:51 |
101 degrees Fahrenheit, |
| 00:06:55 |
700 people are now feared dead after the strongest |
| 00:07:01 |
Now, it's official, the past year has |
| 00:07:06 |
The dessert is advancing at |
| 00:07:12 |
Dozens of Antarctic ice shelves |

18 countries are under water, and one and |

Fernand Pareau has climbed Europe's |

Here he's guiding a family from England. |
| 00:08:44 |
At 82, Fernand is the oldest |
| 00:08:50 |
All his lifetime he witnessed |
| 00:10:03 |
Now, there's an elaborate |
| 00:10:25 |
Extraordinary to think that |
| 00:10:29 |
Here in Chamonix is across the Alps, |
| 00:10:32 |
there's a dramatic lack of snow |
| 00:10:36 |
It is a glimpse into the future. |
| 00:10:40 |
More than half of ski resort in Europe could |
| 00:10:47 |
So nobody goes skiing, big deal. The thing |
| 00:10:53 |
The fact you can't get skiing anymore or |
| 00:10:59 |
the point is that signals that |
| 00:11:04 |
And all the norms that have |
| 00:11:55 |
List: climate change, |
| 00:12:17 |
This is a couple of days |
| 00:12:21 |
Most people are following the evacuation |
| 00:12:25 |
But New Orleans-borne Alvin DuVernay |
| 00:12:33 |
I got up at Saturday morning and |
| 00:12:35 |
everybody were running around and |
| 00:12:38 |
You know, the hurricane's coming. |
| 00:12:40 |
I checked on the web and sure enough all of |
| 00:12:47 |
This is a monster, and it's coming. |
| 00:12:51 |
Walk through the house a few times, |
| 00:12:55 |
My silk rug from Nepal up on |
| 00:13:00 |
I mean, you know, you just |
| 00:13:04 |
I mean another way to do that is get |
| 00:13:09 |
probably the best option. |
| 00:13:13 |
Alvin¥h±µ¤F¥L84·³ªºª¨ª¨¦^®a¡A |
| 00:13:17 |
than barricaded the two of theminside |
| 00:13:23 |
You stare Mother Nature in |
| 00:13:27 |
And she comes along, |
| 00:13:31 |
And then she stands toe to toe, |
| 00:13:36 |
Go ahead and get your best equipment, |
| 00:13:49 |
I think ones got to be very careful about |
| 00:13:56 |
But nevertheless the intensity of hurricanes |
| 00:14:02 |
so increased intensity of hurricane |
| 00:14:09 |
By first light, the water in Alvin's house |
| 00:14:15 |
So he helped Alvin Sr. into their boat |
| 00:14:21 |
There's just one boat that's floating, so it's no |
| 00:14:26 |
There's no landmarks, really, to speak of |
| 00:14:31 |
driving through your |
| 00:14:34 |
Then, all of a sudden you realize |
| 00:14:39 |
There's no coastguard or police or. |
| 00:14:43 |
Most of our national guards were |
| 00:14:48 |
Alvin rescued 200 people, |
| 00:14:53 |
including a 95-year-old man |
| 00:15:01 |
that little basket came out of the window, |
| 00:15:07 |
And just as peaceful eyes-closed, it just |
| 00:15:18 |
take a breath, you know, there's |
| 00:15:26 |
Alvin's neighbors were the lucky ones, |
| 00:15:28 |
hurricane Katrina was America's worst |
| 00:15:33 |
And it was just a taste of what was to come. |
| 00:15:39 |
"It is our fault," after years of debate |
| 00:15:43 |
"Unequivocable," this the word |

Despite all the efforts to control pollution |
| 00:16:21 |
the level of greenhouse gas emission has reached |

Despite the Kyoto treaty, and all the talk |
| 00:16:32 |
level of this key greenhouse gas |

Ironically, the oil infrastructure off the coast of New Orleans |
| 00:16:54 |
but Shell moved fast to carry |
| 00:16:58 |
the rigs are online, and |
| 00:17:04 |
Oil was formed when ancient plant life in the ocean |
| 00:17:10 |
When these plants died, they settled in the ocean floor |
| 00:17:17 |
Over millennia, temperature increased |
| 00:17:21 |
until the sun's energy |
| 00:17:25 |
150 million years later, Shell's geologists |
| 00:17:30 |
and then drilled 3 miles down |
| 00:17:40 |
Hey you go Al, get yourself. Thank you |
| 00:17:43 |
We get the samples and analyze them |
| 00:17:50 |
And it's just another geo-scientific tool |
| 00:17:59 |
In my opinion, probably arrogantly so, |
| 00:18:02 |
but it's pretty high calling |
| 00:18:05 |
to try to figure out or maybe |
| 00:18:09 |
Go back a few thousand years, |
| 00:18:11 |
and the energy available to grow our crops or feed animals |
| 00:18:18 |
But now, |
| 00:18:19 |
we gorge ourselves on hundreds of years |
| 00:18:23 |
Every part of modern life is |
| 00:18:27 |
From CDs to plastic bags, |
| 00:18:31 |
From clothes and carpets to |
| 00:18:34 |
It's a fantastically useful substance. |
| 00:18:37 |
Then there's our food, |
| 00:18:39 |
each calorie we eat used about 80 oil calories |
| 00:18:44 |
And fossil fuel produce fertilizers now feed |
| 00:18:52 |
It would be wise for humanity to use the remaining oil |
| 00:18:58 |
But we are, instead, indiscriminately |
| 00:19:03 |
It'll all be gone in about 40 years, |
| 00:19:13 |
And then you see it, |
| 00:19:16 |
it's greasy and ugly and smell so much |
| 00:19:20 |
13 billion pounds in 2005, that's 1.5 million |
| 00:19:29 |
And a hefty chunk of those |
| 00:19:33 |
where most of the population lives |
| 00:19:37 |
This is the water we drink. |
| 00:20:04 |
22-year-old Layefa Malin has |
| 00:20:08 |
and then work in |
| 00:20:11 |
where Shell started |
| 00:20:19 |
Like hundreds of other community projects |
| 00:20:24 |
Shell maintains that's because |
| 00:20:30 |
13% of the oil revenue is supposed |
| 00:20:34 |
But the local people share is almost |
| 00:20:39 |
So despite being in the most |
| 00:20:42 |
Layefa's village has no health service, |
| 00:22:38 |
Layefa is describing a phenomenon |
| 00:22:42 |
Paradoxically, finding oil usually |
| 00:22:47 |
As the oil wealth is |
| 00:22:50 |
so the agriculture, education, and health system |
| 00:22:57 |
The local people health problems |
| 00:23:01 |
burning nights and days |
| 00:23:03 |
asthma, bronchitis, skin diseases |
| 00:23:10 |
That gas is found alongside oil, |
| 00:23:15 |
it can't easily be sold to over sea markets |
| 00:23:21 |
but building infrastructure is expensive |
| 00:23:27 |
Its flares emit about 70 million tons |
| 00:23:32 |
more than the annual emissions |
| 00:23:42 |
they just do whatever they like. |
| 00:23:49 |
Why are American cities designed |
| 00:23:55 |
Why were a hundred railways in cities like New York, |
| 00:23:57 |
Philadelphia, and Los Angles bought |
| 00:24:01 |
Why do the electric cars get scrapped? |
| 00:24:06 |
Why were we, along with Australia, |
| 00:24:12 |
Why was an oil company lobbyist allowed to change |
| 00:24:21 |
Why was the same PR firm employed by the tobacco industry |
| 00:24:27 |
then employed by the oil industry to convince us |
| 00:24:37 |
Alternative energy has been available |
| 00:24:43 |
Why were solar panels |
| 00:24:48 |
Because right from the |
| 00:24:51 |
the oil men and their unseen profit have had |
| 00:24:55 |
And now, they all are |
| 00:25:02 |
And they're providing the cash, too. |
| 00:25:06 |
Oil business isn't just |
| 00:25:08 |
it is the government. |
| 00:25:15 |
Here, Layefa is going to a nearby village, |
| 00:25:19 |
Oiama, that was massacre by the government. |
| 00:25:23 |
The village was involved in a dispute |
| 00:25:27 |
on which Shell planed to drill for oil. |
| 00:25:29 |
The government claimed that |
| 00:25:33 |
and when they sent |
| 00:25:36 |
the villagers opened fire on the soldiers. |
| 00:25:40 |
Layefa has gone to hear the villagers' side |
| 00:26:51 |
Amnesty international investigated |
| 00:26:54 |
although the government |
| 00:26:58 |
Shell Nigeria should have made sure that |
| 00:27:36 |
they burned them off. |
| 00:27:44 |
Human history is littered, with the corpses |
| 00:27:52 |
Animals, |
| 00:27:55 |
water, |
| 00:28:02 |
shinny things, |
| 00:28:07 |
fertile land, |
| 00:28:14 |
spices. |
| 00:28:22 |
Hmm! Nutmeg slice, tea? |
| 00:28:30 |
But when it came to stuff worth |
| 00:28:35 |
ivory, copper, cotton, rubber, wood, |
| 00:28:45 |
As cheap energy, slaves were unbeatable, |
| 00:28:49 |
until the less troublesome |
| 00:28:52 |
and the new era began. |
| 00:28:55 |
Human numbers increased 5 times over. |
| 00:28:58 |
And with each person |
| 00:29:01 |
oil became "the resource" |
| 00:29:55 |
Well, you want to know |
| 00:29:57 |
According to the former Federal Reserve |
| 00:30:01 |
Not WMD, it's O-I-L. |
| 00:30:14 |
You might read the ex-chairman of Shell |
| 00:30:16 |
that said over weekend that oil can hit over 150 dollars |
| 00:30:21 |
not really good news for |
| 00:30:25 |
not to mention its entire way of life, |
| 00:30:28 |
is based on cheap oil. |
| 00:32:30 |
we left the world in a better place, |
| 00:32:32 |
then we found it, that was progress, |
| 00:32:35 |
the wheel, rule of law, penicillin. |
| 00:32:39 |
It was our covenant |
| 00:32:43 |
my children went angry with me |
| 00:32:48 |
they were too busy trying to stay alive |
| 00:32:53 |
trying to negotiate their way through food riots, |
| 00:33:00 |
But I think my grandchildren |
| 00:33:03 |
had they survived into adulthood. |
| 00:34:55 |
Skiing in desserts, |
| 00:35:00 |
heating the air, |
| 00:35:03 |
lighting empty offices, |
| 00:35:05 |
energy is so ridiculously cheap it makes |
| 00:35:11 |
China is new bad guy, because they're building |
| 00:35:17 |
But the quarter of that |
| 00:35:20 |
Western company pay Chinese workers |
| 00:35:25 |
then ship them to Europe, |
| 00:35:28 |
Punters drive to the out-of-town |
| 00:35:33 |
Plastic toy and plastic box |
| 00:35:36 |
2 days later, toy broken, |
| 00:35:39 |
and back it goes to a Chinese landfill where it |
| 00:35:45 |
Water from the bottle's |
| 00:35:53 |
...Mountain spring spot. |
| 00:35:58 |
800 times more energy wasted |
| 00:36:00 |
and 10,000 times more expensive for you. |
| 00:36:03 |
It's a tricky decision. |
| 00:40:29 |
Lots of ideas have tried |
| 00:40:32 |
but there's only one winner. |
| 00:40:36 |
3000 adverts bombard us every day. |
| 00:40:38 |
Telling us we'll be happier, |
| 00:40:42 |
if only we buy their product. |
| 00:40:44 |
To get there, |
| 00:40:45 |
they create incentives and insatiable |
| 00:40:49 |
Americans have been advertised that longest, |
| 00:40:53 |
and they now each consumed |
| 00:40:56 |
9 times more than a Chinese person, |
| 00:40:58 |
15 times more than an Indian, |
| 00:41:00 |
and 50 times more than someone from Kenya. |
| 00:41:03 |
If all the 65 billion here on earth |
| 00:41:09 |
we need two more planets worth of resources. |
| 00:41:13 |
If everyone consumed like |
| 00:41:16 |
we need another four. |
| 00:41:18 |
And in 2040 or so when |
| 00:41:22 |
we need two more again. |
| 00:41:24 |
Capitalism's only goal |
| 00:41:27 |
but ever expending growth |
| 00:41:31 |
It's impossible. |
| 00:41:33 |
The con economic system is disastrous, |
| 00:41:35 |
not just for the planet |
| 00:41:38 |
400 years of capitalism has allowed |
| 00:41:44 |
leaving just 1% for the poorest to have. |
| 00:41:47 |
But anyone wanting to live |
| 00:41:53 |
With profit, the only measuring step, |
| 00:41:56 |
destroying the planet |
| 00:41:59 |
and run away climate change |
| 00:42:22 |
The logo effectively is color, |
| 00:42:25 |
orange telecom, they are orangey black. |
| 00:42:27 |
Our logo is fluorescent color. |
| 00:42:34 |
Where everything changes in economy |
| 00:42:38 |
Because people can basically |
| 00:42:42 |
if businesses grow a lot faster, |
| 00:42:45 |
then, you know, consumerism sets in, |
| 00:42:47 |
and you know where the verge |
| 00:42:52 |
just moving a lot like America. |
| 00:43:52 |
Here, Jeh travels to |
| 00:43:55 |
as they'll be supplying him |
| 00:43:59 |
We have only 200 aircrafts |
| 00:44:06 |
Ultimately, you know, |
| 00:44:09 |
playing catch up with China |
| 00:44:10 |
or, you know, say, America one airline |
| 00:44:15 |
That's double the amount |
| 00:44:23 |
You know, we simple sentence |
| 00:44:26 |
Thing is gonna get better. |
| 00:45:04 |
In my main house, |
| 00:45:07 |
marinated in that sludge |
| 00:45:11 |
So it's current state of |
| 00:45:14 |
It's flat piece of a property waiting |
| 00:45:20 |
I lost everything, everything that i owned, |
| 00:45:22 |
I mean everything from family heirlooms |
| 00:45:28 |
in everything in between, it goes on and on. |
| 00:45:40 |
Two beautiful, beautiful |
| 00:45:44 |
you know, local, indigenous, |
| 00:45:48 |
that sprawl all over the place, |
| 00:45:51 |
That's what I have left, two old oak trees and |
| 00:45:56 |
That sucks. |
| 00:46:02 |
Losing everything you have, |
| 00:46:09 |
And the grief that comes |
| 00:46:18 |
We have an unspoken collected pact |
| 00:46:23 |
as though as long we ignore it |
| 00:46:31 |
Not absolutely everyone, |
| 00:46:41 |
Hello, come on in. |
| 00:46:42 |
One of the greatest difficulties |
| 00:46:45 |
is that the effects of our emissions today are |
| 00:46:51 |
for 30 or 40 years so there |
| 00:46:53 |
Which makes it difficult for us, |
| 00:46:56 |
because we're evolutionary equipped |
| 00:47:00 |
like advancing armies or dangerous animals. |
| 00:47:02 |
We're not so well-equipped with dealing rationally |
| 00:47:08 |
So we have to act now to stop |
| 00:47:11 |
if we wait until the full temperature |
| 00:47:15 |
then it's far too late to stop. |
| 00:47:16 |
If you remember one single |
| 00:47:20 |
2«×¡C |
| 00:47:22 |
now everyone in the world pretty much, |
| 00:47:24 |
the European Union, big multi-national corporations, |
| 00:47:28 |
all agreed that we have to stabilize global temperatures |
| 00:47:34 |
and the reason for that is because, if you cross that threshold, |
| 00:47:40 |
which could drive the warming |
| 00:47:43 |
Huge amount of carbon |
| 00:47:46 |
trees and soils, methane could be coming |
| 00:47:50 |
and it's that extra input of greenhouse gases |
| 00:47:53 |
which then leads us up to the worst case |
| 00:47:57 |
and the eventual wipeout of most |
| 00:47:59 |
So power emission has been going up |
| 00:48:04 |
and now they need to level out |
| 00:48:10 |
just as rapidly to sustainable |
| 00:48:16 |
But crucially, to keep the temperature |
| 00:48:20 |
this point of stabilization need |
| 00:48:26 |
And so that means, really, the time, |
| 00:48:30 |
is that we have to stabilize global emission |
| 00:48:39 |
And scale of this task to achieve |
| 00:48:44 |
of the entire, |
| 00:48:47 |
is obviously, is huge, monumental task, |
| 00:49:00 |
Remember the English family |
| 00:49:03 |
They're back home in Cornwall, |
| 00:49:06 |
inspire to start tackling |
| 00:49:09 |
It says that the average Individual in the UK responsible |
| 00:49:17 |
They're calculating exactly how much |
| 00:49:23 |
and how it can be reduced. |
| 00:49:25 |
Yeah, but that's the average |
| 00:49:30 |
Whichever way you look at this, |
| 00:49:36 |
We produce about half of our food, and we try keep |
| 00:49:45 |
My car runs on chick fat and |
| 00:49:51 |
We just got our wind turbine, |
| 00:49:57 |
We're aiming to cut down to |
| 00:50:01 |
which is apparently the sustainable amount |
| 00:50:07 |
But the big problem is flying, |
| 00:50:13 |
would blow our entire carbon |
| 00:50:18 |
Apparently, other than |
| 00:50:20 |
flying is the single worst thing an ordinary |
| 00:50:25 |
So, it's a bit of a dilemma, because we've |
| 00:50:30 |
Then I am flying from Newquay |
| 00:50:34 |
say, 40 minutes from here, to Bergerac, |
| 00:50:37 |
which is like, you know, an hour and |
| 00:50:42 |
And literally we could leave here in |
| 00:50:46 |
we could leave Cornwall in the morning, |
| 00:50:48 |
and be in Bergerac by sort of, |
| 00:50:53 |
But if you actually think, this is going to cause |
| 00:50:58 |
people are make that direct connection |
| 00:51:04 |
Obviously, us not flying to France or not flying, |
| 00:51:11 |
But it's down to what you think |
| 00:51:16 |
Because everyone else's doing it, I mean, |
| 00:51:19 |
You know, to look at the terrible things |
| 00:51:25 |
you know, massacres, |
| 00:51:28 |
was just going a long way what was |
| 00:51:36 |
I almost jealous at the time, |
| 00:51:38 |
5 or 10 years ago when I could |
| 00:51:43 |
I didn't even think about it,it's blissful, |
| 00:51:50 |
Needless to say, |
| 00:51:54 |
And joining the climate change protest march |
| 00:51:57 |
may not be everybody's idea |
| 00:52:01 |
but Piers and Lisa have share |
| 00:52:05 |
My friend, we went along |
| 00:52:08 |
and she just basically took me |
| 00:52:10 |
"Hey, look," you know "Piers |
| 00:52:15 |
And that was it, that was it. We just... |
| 00:52:19 |
and spent the whole evening |
| 00:52:27 |
Piers has been developing wind farms in Africa, |
| 00:52:34 |
But he knows that they only |
| 00:52:38 |
as a small part of a total |
| 00:52:44 |
And there still is an idea that somehow |
| 00:52:48 |
you know, the silver bullet. |
| 00:52:49 |
No single renewable source is going to |
| 00:52:56 |
And Piers doesn't think |
| 00:52:59 |
whereby everyone crosses their fingers |
| 00:53:01 |
and hopes that the miracle |
| 00:53:04 |
I'm not saying we shouldn't be developing |
| 00:53:09 |
We should be throwing everything after it. |
| 00:53:12 |
But, you've got to make |
| 00:53:15 |
And in the UK, we've |
| 00:53:18 |
and we just got to bite |
| 00:53:21 |
Piers has purposed a new wind farm as airfield farm |
| 00:53:26 |
He could have 15 turbines installed and generating |
| 00:53:42 |
Well, the process balloon is now going up, but |
| 00:53:51 |
We all have our thumb down as well. |
| 00:53:55 |
UK-wise surveys point to about 70 ~ 80% |
| 00:54:02 |
The difficulty is when you |
| 00:54:04 |
and then there is the sort of |
| 00:54:08 |
Jim, what's the problem? |
| 00:54:10 |
The problem really is that this is one of the |
| 00:54:14 |
I hope it's not gonna get too windy tomorrow |
| 00:54:18 |
Well, I live in Coddington, and we're going to be |
| 00:54:25 |
They're going to obliterate the view. |
| 00:54:27 |
What it normally always comes down to |
| 00:54:31 |
Everything else is basically put together |
| 00:54:37 |
the ultimate thing is they |
| 00:54:40 |
But I'm bit concern about |
| 00:54:44 |
The wind farm site is right next to world |
| 00:54:54 |
Anybody you ask it, nobody's against |
| 00:54:57 |
t's against inappropriate wind energy use. |
| 00:55:01 |
Hypnotic, you're driving alone, and |
| 00:55:06 |
and you're not concentrating on the driving. |
| 00:55:09 |
Eurney Braddock will benefit |
| 00:55:14 |
but now he's in conflict |
| 00:55:17 |
Well, everyone is very unhappy about it, |
| 00:55:22 |
we are not going to be able to sleep, it will make |
| 00:55:26 |
According to Victoria, |
| 00:55:27 |
they stop to wind farm up in |
| 00:55:32 |
Back in the mid-90's |
| 00:55:35 |
"It can't rely on the wind, it can |
| 00:55:39 |
"Additive? Do you mean additional? Yes, it is additional. " |
| 00:55:45 |
"No, Eurney, it doesn't. It's got to, it's got to. |
| 00:55:50 |
It's an emotional campaign, it's about fear |
| 00:55:57 |
But never mind, facts are not |
| 00:56:00 |
"It's a fair fight, and |
| 00:56:11 |
This is august 2005, just after |
| 00:56:16 |
And a couple of months |
| 00:56:26 |
Show daddy how good you ride this, |
| 00:56:33 |
Wooo... No more pushing |
| 00:56:37 |
"So, I can't finish either. |

Jeh is descended from one of India's richest |
| 00:56:46 |
They pioneered everything from ship building |
| 00:56:52 |
And around about way, his privileged up bringing |
| 00:56:58 |
What do you want me to do? |
| 00:57:01 |
Throughout basically my life, at young age, |
| 00:57:04 |
I mean, I used to hang out with tons of, |
| 00:57:09 |
You know, and when you go home, |
| 00:57:13 |
why do I have so much, |
| 00:57:16 |
And that sort of, and |
| 00:57:22 |
You know, everyone is here for a purpose. |
| 00:57:25 |
The idea is to realize what your higher purpose is, |
| 00:57:29 |
And eventually I realize |
| 00:57:34 |
it was to insure that I eradicated poverty. |
| 00:57:45 |
Jeh volunteers at the charity which helps |
| 00:57:51 |
But even by private jet and jeep, |
| 00:57:53 |
it's a 5 hour, 900 kilometers journey. |
| 00:57:57 |
Hiring a private jet is basically in |
| 00:58:01 |
you know, take a village from below |
| 00:58:04 |
So effectively, in terms of it |
| 00:58:08 |
And therefore I decided to, you know.. |
| 00:58:14 |
I said to myself, "wow, |
| 00:58:16 |
You know, people pay good money and |
| 00:58:22 |
15 million people travel by |
| 00:58:27 |
Jeh's dream is to get them all off |
| 00:58:33 |
We're not at war at |
| 00:58:36 |
But people actually recognize that |
| 00:58:41 |
they would be treating it like a war. |
| 00:58:49 |
If anybody takes Airfield Farm for example, |
| 00:58:51 |
I mean that was the year it was airbase, |
| 00:58:52 |
people flew out there and died. |
| 00:58:54 |
Or of course, which was massive at the time, |
| 00:59:00 |
A real global problem that needs |
| 00:59:07 |
There are many, many other industries |
| 00:59:12 |
it's not questionable |
| 00:59:15 |
in ultimate deal, we all contribute |
| 00:59:19 |
we all contribute to the crisis |
| 00:59:22 |
So ultimately, in terms of, you know... |
| 00:59:24 |
insuring our planet is safe and |
| 00:59:32 |
Whether you do it in your own |
| 00:59:35 |
using less papers, less trees cut |
| 00:59:40 |
Obviously, if you're not doing it, |
| 00:59:44 |
the demand goes down, the supply goes down. |
| 00:59:46 |
Life is about demand and supply |
| 01:01:12 |
Strange. Watching this film fragment. |
| 01:01:16 |
Like looking through binoculars |
| 01:01:21 |
Running around in circle, fixated on |
| 01:01:26 |
As a tsunami races toward the shore. |
| 01:01:42 |
Here's Alvin. He's just taken early retirement |
| 01:01:49 |
And he's planning to spend his later |
| 01:01:53 |
Oh, certainly I'm ecologist, and |
| 01:01:57 |
I really don't have |
| 01:02:01 |
Working for an oil company |
| 01:02:08 |
done a pretty good job and |
| 01:02:16 |
When I started working in |
| 01:02:23 |
it was clear path for me, |
| 01:02:27 |
And I didn't know the detail of what goes on |
| 01:02:33 |
But indeed every industry |
| 01:02:37 |
Would I do it again, knowing what I know now, |
| 01:02:42 |
I mean, you need to work, |
| 01:03:27 |
The worst example I've had is a lady, |
| 01:03:30 |
an old lady came up to me, |
| 01:03:32 |
And gave me a cutting from a newspaper, |
| 01:03:41 |
Local anti-campaign is |
| 01:03:44 |
stopping about 80% of the proposed |
| 01:03:48 |
Had they all been built, 10% of our |
| 01:03:55 |
How the heck are we meant to persuade |
| 01:04:00 |
that they should develop in a more sustainable |
| 01:04:04 |
you know, the old wind farming landscape. |
| 01:04:08 |
"So how's it going?", "All right, yes. " |
| 01:04:09 |
"Not too much trouble?", "Not really, |
| 01:04:16 |
Pierce has come back to the Ernie's farm |
| 01:04:18 |
with a plan to make |
| 01:04:20 |
Trying to kick start the planning process |
| 01:04:23 |
that the anti-campaign has now |
| 01:04:27 |
Another eighteen months of climate change |
| 01:04:29 |
Another eighteen months, |
| 01:04:37 |
You must be feeling the same as me. |
| 01:04:41 |
Pierce's compromise reduces the number |
| 01:04:47 |
This is still the equivalent electrical |
| 01:04:53 |
So there's still alot power. |
| 01:04:57 |
Exactly the opposite is happening, |
| 01:05:01 |
These things need to be speeded up, |
| 01:05:06 |
Plenty of politicians are talking about it, |
| 01:05:10 |
It's just not happening. |
| 01:05:16 |
Governments will only go as |
| 01:05:20 |
And that means mass protest |
| 01:05:26 |
Direct action like this is essential, |
| 01:05:30 |
if you were going to turn an issue |
| 01:05:33 |
We've found that many many times in the past, |
| 01:05:42 |
The very fact that the crisis is taking place in |
| 01:05:48 |
means we are tremendously powerful people. |
| 01:05:52 |
So this position of despair, |
| 01:05:56 |
It's completely illogically, |
| 01:07:15 |
There's no shortage of great matter in |
| 01:07:24 |
But I don't think we been very smart |
| 01:07:28 |
How we quite literally burn up something |
| 01:07:35 |
We literally burn it up. |
| 01:07:40 |
I think most people were |
| 01:07:44 |
We'd stop believing that this was |
| 01:07:49 |
and started questioning |
| 01:07:55 |
All I can hope is, |
| 01:07:59 |
and the horrible wars comes out and |
| 01:08:02 |
will snap us out of it. |
| 01:08:05 |
Let's see if it's headed in |
| 01:08:37 |
For this disaster, I had a lot of stuff, |
| 01:08:44 |
Two years later, I've learned lot about |
| 01:09:03 |
The happiness is not in the latest gadgets, |
| 01:09:11 |
All of that stuff. It's just not the stuff |
| 01:09:54 |
Climate scientist can estimate how much of |
| 01:10:00 |
This amount is called the "global cap. " |
| 01:10:04 |
Under this proposal, the world governments |
| 01:10:09 |
detailing how to distribute the global cap. |
| 01:10:11 |
The earlier the start takes, |
| 01:10:12 |
of greater the chance of not |
| 01:10:16 |
The total global emissions for the first year |
| 01:10:21 |
Every year following they'll shrink until |
| 01:10:26 |
Initially, each country would be |
| 01:10:31 |
according to how much |
| 01:10:34 |
But this would change over time |
| 01:10:36 |
America would slash its emissions 90% |
| 01:10:41 |
Europe too would decrease |
| 01:10:45 |
But India and Africa would |
| 01:10:50 |
Each human being on the planet would |
| 01:10:53 |
Equity is the only option morally, |
| 01:10:56 |
and also practically as the developing |
| 01:10:59 |
But total emissions would |
| 01:11:03 |
Until by 2065 we'll have |
| 01:11:07 |
and prevented the worst |
| 01:11:11 |
As to how each country divvies up its share to |
| 01:11:16 |
The most promising of which |
| 01:11:21 |
Mr. W.S Morrison is here to explain. |
| 01:11:25 |
If in the culture of war, we are short |
| 01:11:31 |
Rationing, will give every one, |
| 01:11:36 |
an equal share of all its goods. |
| 01:11:39 |
Down to the scheme. Everyone in UK would |
| 01:11:44 |
So the electronic loyalty |
| 01:11:47 |
points will be deducted every time |
| 01:11:51 |
For example, using electricity |
| 01:11:55 |
or traveling somewhere by plane, |
| 01:11:58 |
The best way you can help |
| 01:12:01 |
I'm sure that all of you will |
| 01:12:09 |
Airports were expanding all over the world, |
| 01:12:12 |
to cope with the exploding number of |
| 01:12:17 |
And Jeh was doing everything |
| 01:12:21 |
Ultimately, the odd is to hug and then kick. |
| 01:12:26 |
She saying the PS is been payable, you're saying |
| 01:12:30 |
Now! |
| 01:12:33 |
Yes or no? That I ask you the question, |
| 01:12:37 |
You're suspended, you're suspended. |
| 01:12:48 |
It's all in a day's work, haha... |
| 01:12:51 |
Maintaining my plane means |
| 01:12:55 |
If I see my step ladder like this, |
| 01:12:58 |
and if I find one piece of dirt |
| 01:13:02 |
OK? |
| 01:13:37 |
June 11. 2007, in the hotel room in Bedford. |
| 01:13:42 |
Pierce is polishing his speech for tonight |
| 01:13:46 |
This committee can approve this application. |
| 01:13:51 |
If you do, you would |
| 01:13:55 |
He has just six minutes to convince |
| 01:14:00 |
I'm absolutely confident, |
| 01:14:05 |
you'll look back on the decision and |
| 01:14:09 |
But the committee |
| 01:14:12 |
saying that his wind farm would be conspicuous and |
| 01:14:16 |
that it would decrease |
| 01:14:19 |
and negatively impact the listed |
| 01:14:23 |
In other words, it would spoil the view. |
| 01:14:26 |
Oh we're delighted |
| 01:14:28 |
It's a wonderful result. |
| 01:14:29 |
It just shows if you work hard |
| 01:14:33 |
if you do with fair and balance, |
| 01:14:37 |
10 against, one in favor, |
| 01:14:41 |
But there only one guy who |
| 01:14:47 |
Cheers, man. |
| 01:14:56 |
Hi, mom. It's Piers. I think it's |
| 01:15:13 |
I could have said, be honest. |
| 01:15:20 |
Of course we're worried |
| 01:15:23 |
I mean, it's got to be something |
| 01:15:26 |
I mean, we're doing our bit to try conserve |
| 01:15:31 |
Of course, absolutely, yeah, I mean, |
| 01:15:40 |
And it is global warming. |

| 01:18:03 |
But what would be unique about us |
| 01:18:10 |
And what's that say about us? |
| 01:18:13 |
The question I've been asking is, |
| 01:18:15 |
why didn't we save ourselves |
| 01:18:19 |
Is the answer because on some level, |
| 01:19:33 |
Please proceed near the aircraft, |
| 01:19:38 |
You know if all of us stood united, in terms, |
| 01:19:43 |
Unfortunately, that's not the reality. |
| 01:19:45 |
If we can not even stand united on |
| 01:19:49 |
what is the health of |
| 01:20:29 |
In my opinion, our use or misuse |
| 01:20:35 |
I probably would rename that, |
| 01:20:39 |
The age of ignorance. |
| 01:20:40 |
The age of stupid. |
| 01:22:31 |
I just find it, surprising. |
| 01:22:35 |
That after so much effort, the final act |
| 01:22:42 |
So why did I build this archive? |
| 01:22:46 |
It's a cautionary tale. |
| 01:22:48 |
Not for us. Too late for us. |
| 01:22:51 |
But for..., well..., |
| 01:22:55 |
for whoever, whatever, |
| 01:23:14 |
And away you go. |
