  11. 1
  12. 00:00:34,267 --> 00:00:37,011
  13. Over the past 250 years -
  14.  
  15. 2
  16. 00:00:37,061 --> 00:00:44,394
  17. - We've made the biggest
  18. scientific experiment ever.
  19.  
  20. 3
  21. 00:00:44,444 --> 00:00:47,939
  22. Since the Industrial Revolution -
  23.  
  24. 4
  25. 00:00:47,989 --> 00:00:54,612
  26. - We have sent 1.4 trillion tons of coal
  27. straight out into the atmosphere.
  28.  
  29. 5
  30. 00:00:54,662 --> 00:01:01,619
  31. It has changed life on earth,
  32. especially in the Arctic.
  33.  
  34. 6
  35. 00:01:01,669 --> 00:01:07,834
  36. The world's melting snow and ice
  37. has caused climate change -
  38.  
  39. 7
  40. 00:01:07,884 --> 00:01:12,296
  41. - threatening life on earth.
  42.  
  43. 8
  44. 00:01:12,346 --> 00:01:17,051
  45. But the worrying vision of the future
  46. need not be written in stone.
  47.  
  48. 9
  49. 00:01:17,101 --> 00:01:20,888
  50. It has long existed
  51. alternative to fossil fuels.
  52.  
  53. 10
  54. 00:01:20,938 --> 00:01:27,103
  55. We recently discovered a way
  56. to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere -
  57.  
  58. 11
  59. 00:01:27,153 --> 00:01:31,774
  60. - which gives us a chance
  61. to reverse climate change.
  62.  
  63. 12
  64. 00:01:31,824 --> 00:01:35,445
  65. If we manage to return
  66. climate change -
  67.  
  68. 13
  69. 00:01:35,495 --> 00:01:40,283
  70. - It would be an accomplishment that lacks
  71. in the history of humanity.
  72.  
  73. 14
  74. 00:01:40,333 --> 00:01:42,869
  75. But the clock is ticking.
  76.  
  77. 15
  78. 00:01:42,919 --> 00:01:47,540
  79. The researchers say we have to
  80. Take the measures immediately.
  81.  
  82. 16
  83. 00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:52,879
  84. The seriousness of the situation requires us
  85. listens to the impartial experts.
  86.  
  87. 17
  88. 00:01:52,929 --> 00:01:58,551
  89. They've presented facts like those
  90. have devoted their lives to developing.
  91.  
  92. 18
  93. 00:01:58,601 --> 00:02:01,220
  94. It's their turn to be heard.
  95.  
  96. 19
  97. 00:02:01,270 --> 00:02:05,349
  98. They are scientists,
  99. researchers and innovators -
  100.  
  101. 20
  102. 00:02:05,399 --> 00:02:13,007
  103. - who have found solutions for that
  104. preserve life in our common world.
  105.  
  106. 21
  107. 00:02:14,867 --> 00:02:18,929
  108. ROCKY MOUNTAINS
  109. COLORADO
  110.  
  111. 22
  112. 00:02:29,006 --> 00:02:34,278
  113. Some projects require
  114. manual sampling.
  115.  
  116. 23
  117. 00:02:37,348 --> 00:02:41,410
  118. One of them applies
  119. CO2 emissions over a longer period.
  120.  
  121. 24
  122. 00:02:43,312 --> 00:02:50,086
  123. Someone must venture out
  124. and take the test every Tuesday.
  125.  
  126. 25
  127. 00:02:51,779 --> 00:02:57,468
  128. I am the one who can go out with
  129. the snow car and make the measurements.
  130.  
  131. 26
  132. 00:02:58,745 --> 00:03:03,307
  133. The long-term protocol
  134. should be conducted as always.
  135.  
  136. 27
  137. 00:03:04,625 --> 00:03:07,912
  138. Monitoring and registering
  139. what we do with our atmosphere -
  140.  
  141. 28
  142. 00:03:07,962 --> 00:03:10,456
  143. - Is an important but difficult task.
  144.  
  145. 29
  146. 00:03:10,506 --> 00:03:15,253
  147. The last 50 years have
  148. dedicated researchers from all over the world -
  149.  
  150. 30
  151. 00:03:15,303 --> 00:03:17,755
  152. -rest every week to the same places-
  153.  
  154. 31
  155. 00:03:17,805 --> 00:03:24,095
  156. - to measure the greenhouse gases
  157. that causes climate change.
  158.  
  159. 32
  160. 00:03:24,145 --> 00:03:27,849
  161. We are at just over 3 400 meters,
  162. up on Niwot Ridge.
  163.  
  164. 33
  165. 00:03:27,899 --> 00:03:31,352
  166. It is located in the front edge
  167. of Rocky Mountains in Colorado.
  168.  
  169. 34
  170. 00:03:31,402 --> 00:03:39,051
  171. This NOAA station for
  172. long-term sampling of CO2 values.
  173.  
  174. 35
  175. 00:03:40,828 --> 00:03:45,533
  176. These glass cubes
  177. used to take the samples.
  178.  
  179. 36
  180. 00:03:45,583 --> 00:03:50,872
  181. When we have filled them with air
  182. We send them to our office.
  183.  
  184. 37
  185. 00:03:50,922 --> 00:03:53,875
  186. On NOAA's lab in Boulder
  187. the samples are analyzed
  188.  
  189. 38
  190. 00:03:53,925 --> 00:03:57,420
  191. - along with similar
  192. tubes from the rest of the world.
  193.  
  194. 39
  195. 00:03:57,470 --> 00:04:01,924
  196. The reason why the samples
  197. usually taken so high
  198.  
  199. 40
  200. 00:04:01,974 --> 00:04:07,555
  201. - is that the air is so well mixed here.
  202. The sample corresponds to the whole atmosphere.
  203.  
  204. 41
  205. 00:04:07,605 --> 00:04:09,766
  206. There is a small opening in the ceiling.
  207.  
  208. 42
  209. 00:04:09,816 --> 00:04:14,729
  210. When I turn on the pump
  211. sucked the air into the tubes.
  212.  
  213. 43
  214. 00:04:14,779 --> 00:04:19,484
  215. These measure the carbon cycle
  216. and the greenhouse gases
  217.  
  218. 44
  219. 00:04:19,534 --> 00:04:23,637
  220. -There CO2 and methane are the largest.
  221.  
  222. 45
  223. 00:04:24,664 --> 00:04:30,519
  224. When they took the first test in 1968
  225. showed it at 322 ppm.
  226.  
  227. 46
  228. 00:04:32,380 --> 00:04:35,291
  229. We don't know what
  230. this sample shows yet-
  231.  
  232. 47
  233. 00:04:35,341 --> 00:04:42,490
  234. - but it's probably around 408.
  235. And that's an increase.
  236.  
  237. 48
  238. 00:04:44,976 --> 00:04:50,039
  239. Now I stop everything and everything
  240. do the work for next week's test.
  241.  
  242. 49
  243. 00:05:05,329 --> 00:05:12,161
  244. One of NOAA's assignments from the beginning
  245. was to measure CO2 in the atmosphere
  246.  
  247. 50
  248. 00:05:12,211 --> 00:05:15,623
  249. - and other gases
  250. which affects the carbon cycle.
  251.  
  252. 51
  253. 00:05:15,673 --> 00:05:20,545
  254. Two kinds of samples are collected
  255. weekly from all over the world.
  256.  
  257. 52
  258. 00:05:20,595 --> 00:05:23,423
  259. We want to see how the gases
  260. change over time.
  261.  
  262. 53
  263. 00:05:23,473 --> 00:05:26,909
  264. To do that, we take
  265. constantly new samples.
  266.  
  267. 54
  268. 00:05:28,019 --> 00:05:31,597
  269. Right now we have 60 collection points.
  270.  
  271. 55
  272. 00:05:31,647 --> 00:05:37,520
  273. The samples are mostly taken in remote places,
  274. far from inhabited areas.
  275.  
  276. 56
  277. 00:05:37,570 --> 00:05:42,650
  278. With this equipment we measure
  279.  
  280. 57
  281. 00:05:42,700 --> 00:05:49,907
  282. It's carbon dioxide, methane,
  283. carbon monoxide, molecular hydrogen
  284.  
  285. 58
  286. 00:05:49,957 --> 00:05:52,744
  287. - nitrous oxide and sulfur hexafluoride.
  288.  
  289. 59
  290. 00:05:52,794 --> 00:05:57,415
  291. The system is running five days a week.
  292.  
  293. 60
  294. 00:05:57,465 --> 00:06:02,086
  295. I assemble the air samples
  296. the manifold and start the measurement.
  297.  
  298. 61
  299. 00:06:02,136 --> 00:06:04,572
  300. Then I can leave.
  301.  
  302. 62
  303. 00:06:29,705 --> 00:06:33,910
  304. I am the head of NOAA's Global
  305. Greenhouse Gas Reference Network.
  306.  
  307. 63
  308. 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,455
  309. The goal of the global network
  310.  
  311. 64
  312. 00:06:37,505 --> 00:06:41,834
  313. - is to produce data
  314. fully calibrated
  315.  
  316. 65
  317. 00:06:41,884 --> 00:06:44,754
  318. - carefully checked
  319. and documented.
  320.  
  321. 66
  322. 00:06:44,804 --> 00:06:49,509
  323. The information is equally reliable
  324. in a hundred years or more.
  325.  
  326. 67
  327. 00:06:49,559 --> 00:06:56,516
  328. So, according to climate change
  329. continues in the future
  330.  
  331. 68
  332. 00:06:56,566 --> 00:07:01,312
  333. - there is information for the researchers
  334. which they can rely on.
  335.  
  336. 69
  337. 00:07:01,362 --> 00:07:04,691
  338. Then they can diagnose
  339. what really happened
  340.  
  341. 70
  342. 00:07:04,741 --> 00:07:08,677
  343. - and how climate change
  344. really works.
  345.  
  346. 71
  347. 00:07:09,579 --> 00:07:16,077
  348. The modern CO2 measurements
  349. started by Dave Keeling-
  350.  
  351. 72
  352. 00:07:16,127 --> 00:07:23,167
  353. - at the oceanographic institution.
  354. In 1956 he took samples along the west coast.
  355.  
  356. 73
  357. 00:07:23,217 --> 00:07:29,173
  358. He saw that in the afternoon,
  359. wherever he was -
  360.  
  361. 74
  362. 00:07:29,223 --> 00:07:32,009
  363. - so was the concentration
  364. the same everywhere.
  365.  
  366. 75
  367. 00:07:32,559 --> 00:07:35,972
  368. Then he was struck by the thought
  369. that there may be something
  370.  
  371. 76
  372. 00:07:36,022 --> 00:07:38,349
  373. - We can call
  374. "Background concentration".
  375.  
  376. 77
  377. 00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:43,146
  378. He began regular measurements
  379. at Mauna Loa in Hawaii
  380.  
  381. 78
  382. 00:07:43,196 --> 00:07:45,423
  383. -and also on the Antarctic coast.
  384.  
  385. 79
  386. 00:07:47,033 --> 00:07:52,864
  387. Towards the end of the last ice age,
  388. between 20,000 and 11,000 years ago
  389.  
  390. 80
  391. 00:07:52,914 --> 00:07:59,829
  392. - increased CO2 levels by 80 ppm,
  393. from about 200 to 280.
  394.  
  395. 81
  396. 00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:05,043
  397. It went slow. It took 6,000 years
  398. for the CO2 level to rise by 80 ppm.
  399.  
  400. 82
  401. 00:08:05,993 --> 00:08:07,236
  402. Sixteen years.
  403.  
  404. 83
  405. 00:08:08,721 --> 00:08:14,469
  406. Before the industries arrived, before 1850,
  407. the CO2 level was around 280 ppm.
  408.  
  409. 84
  410. 00:08:14,519 --> 00:08:18,931
  411. And today we see an increase
  412. by 2 ppm per year.
  413.  
  414. 85
  415. 00:08:18,981 --> 00:08:25,480
  416. That increase is due
  417. 100 percent on man.
  418.  
  419. 86
  420. 00:08:25,530 --> 00:08:32,528
  421. The increase we see today,
  422. compared to the geological history
  423.  
  424. 87
  425. 00:08:32,578 --> 00:08:35,264
  426. - I should almost call
  427. an explosion.
  428.  
  429. 88
  430. 00:08:36,999 --> 00:08:42,938
  431. It is instant,
  432. from a geological time perspective.
  433.  
  434. 89
  435. 00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:50,963
  436. Carbon dioxide has risen dramatically
  437. since the industrial revolution.
  438.  
  439. 90
  440. 00:08:51,013 --> 00:08:53,574
  441. What does that really mean to us?
  442.  
  443. 91
  444. 00:08:54,851 --> 00:08:59,889
  445. We know too much
  446. carbon dioxide damages the climate.
  447.  
  448. 92
  449. 00:08:59,939 --> 00:09:03,351
  450. It changes the weather behavior
  451. and life support system -
  452.  
  453. 93
  454. 00:09:03,401 --> 00:09:06,587
  455. - which we depend on
  456. to survive.
  457.  
  458. 94
  459. 00:09:08,406 --> 00:09:12,235
  460. We have always known that toxicity
  461. associated with fossil fuels-
  462.  
  463. 95
  464. 00:09:12,285 --> 00:09:16,197
  465. - But we always thought
  466. that it would attack the human
  467.  
  468. 96
  469. 00:09:16,247 --> 00:09:19,909
  470. -or other living individuals.
  471.  
  472. 97
  473. 00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:24,122
  474. It is not until my lifetime
  475.  
  476. 98
  477. 00:09:24,172 --> 00:09:26,749
  478. - as it has become
  479. frighteningly obvious-
  480.  
  481. 99
  482. 00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:31,671
  483. - the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere
  484. has got the heat to rise.
  485.  
  486. 100
  487. 00:09:31,721 --> 00:09:38,761
  488. The greenhouse effect affects
  489. life on the planet as a whole.
  490.  
  491. 101
  492. 00:09:38,811 --> 00:09:42,390
  493. Once I understood it
  494. in the mid 90s
  495.  
  496. 102
  497. 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,752
  498. - we needed to start talking about it,
  499. which we have done since then.
  500.  
  501. 103
  502. 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,652
  503. When we're talking about
  504. dangerous global warming
  505.  
  506. 104
  507. 00:09:54,702 --> 00:10:01,993
  508. - we mean when it's about
  509. two degrees Celsius warmer
  510.  
  511. 105
  512. 00:10:02,043 --> 00:10:04,787
  513. - compared with
  514. pre-industrial time.
  515.  
  516. 106
  517. 00:10:04,837 --> 00:10:07,749
  518. This is when we start to see the worst
  519.  
  520. 107
  521. 00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:11,586
  522. - and maybe irrevocably
  523. effects of climate change:
  524.  
  525. 108
  526. 00:10:11,636 --> 00:10:16,924
  527. Melting Polaris,
  528. which gives rising sea levels.
  529.  
  530. 109
  531. 00:10:16,974 --> 00:10:22,972
  532. Permanently dry at warmer
  533. latitudes and much more.
  534.  
  535. 110
  536. 00:10:23,022 --> 00:10:27,060
  537. It will be disaster
  538. about the larger ice melts
  539.  
  540. 111
  541. 00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:30,897
  542. - on Greenland and West Antarctica.
  543.  
  544. 112
  545. 00:10:30,947 --> 00:10:35,151
  546. Then all major coastal towns are affected
  547. in the world of flooding.
  548.  
  549. 113
  550. 00:10:35,201 --> 00:10:36,944
  551. The areas on land are decreasing.
  552.  
  553. 114
  554. 00:10:36,994 --> 00:10:41,199
  555. The result is environmental refugees,
  556. when people leave those regions.
  557.  
  558. 115
  559. 00:10:41,249 --> 00:10:47,246
  560. People leave the tropics because
  561. it gets too hot man.
  562.  
  563. 116
  564. 00:10:47,296 --> 00:10:54,003
  565. The crops in the tropics are affected
  566. the heat and production will decrease.
  567.  
  568. 117
  569. 00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:57,673
  570. In short, it becomes a world
  571. with less surface
  572.  
  573. 118
  574. 00:10:57,723 --> 00:11:01,719
  575. - less food and water,
  576. stuck with more people.
  577.  
  578. 119
  579. 00:11:01,769 --> 00:11:06,123
  580. That's the recipe for
  581. a national security disaster.
  582.  
  583. 120
  584. 00:11:19,620 --> 00:11:25,159
  585. I have worked with
  586. to measure carbon dioxide for over 30 years.
  587.  
  588. 121
  589. 00:11:25,209 --> 00:11:30,081
  590. If only we had done something
  591. ate this for 20 years ago-
  592.  
  593. 122
  594. 00:11:30,131 --> 00:11:33,400
  595. - I had done something else today,
  596. but I am left.
  597.  
  598. 123
  599. 00:11:36,955 --> 00:11:40,091
  600. Looking at the relationship
  601. between carbon dioxide and sea level
  602.  
  603. 124
  604. 00:11:40,141 --> 00:11:43,052
  605. - is there
  606. a couple of interesting moments:
  607.  
  608. 125
  609. 00:11:43,102 --> 00:11:48,057
  610. When CO2 levels rise to 400 ppm
  611.  
  612. 126
  613. 00:11:48,107 --> 00:11:54,272
  614. - the heat may loose large ice blocks
  615. from Antarctica and Greenland.
  616.  
  617. 127
  618. 00:11:54,322 --> 00:11:57,650
  619. The ice blocks are
  620. what we call marine based.
  621.  
  622. 128
  623. 00:11:57,700 --> 00:12:01,696
  624. The base of the ice deck in western Antarctica
  625. is below sea level
  626.  
  627. 129
  628. 00:12:01,746 --> 00:12:04,282
  629. - Because it
  630. is stuck in the sediment.
  631.  
  632. 130
  633. 00:12:04,332 --> 00:12:07,285
  634. Once it starts to melt
  635. it becomes a runaway train.
  636.  
  637. 131
  638. 00:12:07,335 --> 00:12:09,895
  639. No one knows how to stop it.
  640.  
  641. 132
  642. 00:12:10,713 --> 00:12:15,109
  643. We are dangerously close to it right now.
  644.  
  645. 133
  646. 00:12:17,428 --> 00:12:22,341
  647. The next threshold is around
  648. CO2 levels of 600-700 ppm.
  649.  
  650. 134
  651. 00:12:22,391 --> 00:12:28,222
  652. Then it is so hot that it does not exist
  653. some landis remain on the planet.
  654.  
  655. 135
  656. 00:12:28,272 --> 00:12:32,001
  657. Then the sea level becomes
  658. about 80 meters higher.
  659.  
  660. 136
  661. 00:12:33,111 --> 00:12:38,883
  662. We are heading for 600-700 ppm.
  663.  
  664. 137
  665. 00:12:41,244 --> 00:12:47,033
  666. It is an interesting threshold moment
  667. regarding our relationship with the planet.
  668.  
  669. 138
  670. 00:12:47,083 --> 00:12:54,332
  671. Should we press our climate system
  672. so much out of balance
  673.  
  674. 139
  675. 00:12:54,382 --> 00:12:58,694
  676. - that we risk
  677. to digest all landis?
  678.  
  679. 140
  680. 00:13:10,064 --> 00:13:11,557
  681. Yes, it has changed.
  682.  
  683. 141
  684. 00:13:11,607 --> 00:13:16,270
  685. Iceland's nature has been affected
  686. of climate change.
  687.  
  688. 142
  689. 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,982
  690. It is clearly visible
  691. along the southern coast, for example.
  692.  
  693. 143
  694. 00:13:20,032 --> 00:13:26,030
  695. Our largest glacier, Vatnajökull,
  696. or the "water glacier" -
  697.  
  698. 144
  699. 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,741
  700. - has decreased quite a bit.
  701.  
  702. 145
  703. 00:13:28,791 --> 00:13:33,496
  704. There is an interesting observation
  705. which everyone notices
  706.  
  707. 146
  708. 00:13:33,546 --> 00:13:36,207
  709. -When they drive along the southern coast today.
  710.  
  711. 147
  712. 00:13:36,257 --> 00:13:41,796
  713. When you drive over Iceland's longest bridge,
  714. which is almost a kilometer
  715.  
  716. 148
  717. 00:13:41,846 --> 00:13:45,383
  718. - You notice it almost
  719. There is no water underneath.
  720.  
  721. 149
  722. 00:13:45,433 --> 00:13:52,748
  723. Why are you building such a long bridge
  724. over almost no water at all?
  725.  
  726. 150
  727. 00:13:54,108 --> 00:13:57,937
  728. It depends on climate change.
  729.  
  730. 151
  731. 00:13:57,987 --> 00:14:04,802
  732. The river has changed direction
  733. because of the glacier's decline.
  734.  
  735. 152
  736. 00:14:06,746 --> 00:14:11,909
  737. Now we have a kind of monument-
  738.  
  739. 153
  740. 00:14:11,959 --> 00:14:16,147
  741. - which symbolizes the past.
  742.  
  743. 154
  744. 00:14:29,894 --> 00:14:34,457
  745. The Arctic is a changed place today.
  746.  
  747. 155
  748. 00:14:35,233 --> 00:14:41,272
  749. Here is the climate change
  750. impact as most extreme.
  751.  
  752. 156
  753. 00:14:41,322 --> 00:14:45,193
  754. The researchers notice
  755. that what is happening on the Arctic
  756.  
  757. 157
  758. 00:14:45,243 --> 00:14:49,322
  759. - has a big impact
  760. on the rest of the planet.
  761.  
  762. 158
  763. 00:14:49,372 --> 00:14:53,576
  764. I work with measuring greenhouse gases
  765. at the Arctic station
  766.  
  767. 159
  768. 00:14:53,626 --> 00:14:58,247
  769. - and to find out how
  770. vaxthusg
  771.  
  772. 160
  773. 00:14:58,297 --> 00:15:01,709
  774. I'm worried about it
  775. rising temperature in the region
  776.  
  777. 161
  778. 00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:06,255
  779. - and the impact it can have
  780. on all Arctic systems.
  781.  
  782. 162
  783. 00:15:06,305 --> 00:15:10,885
  784. I think that is extremely important
  785. to be aware of-
  786.  
  787. 163
  788. 00:15:10,935 --> 00:15:15,556
  789. - that the sea ice decreased
  790. and all other changes
  791.  
  792. 164
  793. 00:15:15,606 --> 00:15:20,127
  794. - can change the entire weather system,
  795. which has a global impact.
  796.  
  797. 165
  798. 00:15:21,571 --> 00:15:28,219
  799. We know the changes in the Arctic
  800. are not limited there.
  801.  
  802. 166
  803. 00:15:30,872 --> 00:15:34,534
  804. I have worked with the sea ice
  805. the past fifty years.
  806.  
  807. 167
  808. 00:15:34,584 --> 00:15:39,372
  809. The entire Arctic has changed
  810. very much during that time.
  811.  
  812. 168
  813. 00:15:39,422 --> 00:15:43,418
  814. Not enough
  815. that the ice has decreased in area.
  816.  
  817. 169
  818. 00:15:43,468 --> 00:15:48,214
  819. The decrease is really visible.
  820. The great ice creams from
  821.  
  822. 170
  823. 00:15:48,264 --> 00:15:51,801
  824. - with their ramparts of pack ice
  825. and very thick ice cover ...
  826.  
  827. 171
  828. 00:15:51,851 --> 00:15:56,831
  829. Much of it
  830. dramatic scenery is gone.
  831.  
  832. 172
  833. 00:15:58,316 --> 00:16:04,063
  834. I recently visited the Bering Sea
  835. for research purposes.
  836.  
  837. 173
  838. 00:16:04,113 --> 00:16:08,426
  839. In that region is usually found
  840. very melted, but we saw no one.
  841.  
  842. 174
  843. 00:16:10,286 --> 00:16:15,324
  844. HISTORICAL BLOCK ON THE SEA:
  845. 1.8 - 4.5 meters
  846.  
  847. 175
  848. 00:16:15,374 --> 00:16:19,871
  849. The ice was very thin,
  850. maybe just 30 centimeters thick.
  851.  
  852. 176
  853. 00:16:19,921 --> 00:16:23,541
  854. The North Sea is no longer
  855. a continent of ice.
  856.  
  857. 177
  858. 00:16:23,591 --> 00:16:26,335
  859. It's just water in the summer.
  860.  
  861. 178
  862. 00:16:26,385 --> 00:16:30,798
  863. It's a huge loss,
  864. not just by nature's beauty-
  865.  
  866. 179
  867. 00:16:30,848 --> 00:16:36,054
  868. - but also with regard to
  869. the physics of how the planet works.
  870.  
  871. 180
  872. 00:16:36,104 --> 00:16:39,140
  873. The ice disappears
  874. if the climate gets warmer.
  875.  
  876. 181
  877. 00:16:39,190 --> 00:16:45,021
  878. It is an obvious consequence,
  879. but is worse than that.
  880.  
  881. 182
  882. 00:16:45,071 --> 00:16:48,399
  883. There will be many chain reactions -
  884.  
  885. 183
  886. 00:16:48,449 --> 00:16:54,680
  887. - that affects the planet much more
  888. than only the ice creams decrease.
  889.  
  890. 184
  891. 00:16:56,582 --> 00:17:00,328
  892. The Arctic is heated three times faster
  893. than the rest of the world-
  894.  
  895. 185
  896. 00:17:00,378 --> 00:17:05,416
  897. - whereupon the temperature difference between
  898. The Arctic and lower latitudes decrease.
  899.  
  900. 186
  901. 00:17:05,466 --> 00:17:09,629
  902. That means the jet stream
  903. becomes weaker.
  904.  
  905. 187
  906. 00:17:09,679 --> 00:17:13,925
  907. It is weakened from
  908. to have been an almost straight line
  909.  
  910. 188
  911. 00:17:13,975 --> 00:17:19,180
  912. - to become more wavy
  913. and reach both north and south.
  914.  
  915. 189
  916. 00:17:19,230 --> 00:17:24,727
  917. This can mean that the polar air
  918. reaches down to lower latitude
  919.  
  920. 190
  921. 00:17:24,777 --> 00:17:27,772
  922. - Like that usually
  923. only when in a sector
  924.  
  925. 191
  926. 00:17:27,822 --> 00:17:30,525
  927. - but in the sector
  928. to the east or west of the
  929.  
  930. 192
  931. 00:17:30,575 --> 00:17:34,404
  932. - Hot air comes further north
  933. than it should.
  934.  
  935. 193
  936. 00:17:34,454 --> 00:17:39,200
  937. The result is the bizarre weather
  938. that people have talked about.
  939.  
  940. 194
  941. 00:17:39,250 --> 00:17:44,122
  942. When the air masses cause
  943. so extreme weather changes
  944.  
  945. 195
  946. 00:17:44,172 --> 00:17:48,960
  947. - it happens to be at the latitudes
  948. where most food is produced.
  949.  
  950. 196
  951. 00:17:49,010 --> 00:17:55,116
  952. Suddenly food production is affected
  953. of the polar changes.
  954.  
  955. 197
  956. 00:17:56,809 --> 00:18:02,498
  957. One cannot remove as much ice
  958. without affecting much else.
  959.  
  960. 198
  961. 00:18:05,026 --> 00:18:11,757
  962. Arctic's strongest sea ice divides
  963. the first time since the measurements began
  964.  
  965. 199
  966. 00:18:13,576 --> 00:18:17,321
  967. Consequences
  968. of our actions begin to show itself.
  969.  
  970. 200
  971. 00:18:17,371 --> 00:18:22,243
  972. Researchers' predictions
  973. rather than expected.
  974.  
  975. 201
  976. 00:18:22,293 --> 00:18:28,332
  977. We may experience storms, drought,
  978. floods and fires -
  979.  
  980. 202
  981. 00:18:28,382 --> 00:18:32,545
  982. - which is gradually becoming more and more
  983. intensive and unpredictable.
  984.  
  985. 203
  986. 00:18:32,595 --> 00:18:37,717
  987. NEW HEATING CORDS OVER
  988. ALL PLANET LAST WEEK
  989.  
  990. 204
  991. 00:18:37,767 --> 00:18:43,931
  992. THE WORLD BRINS AND SWIMMERS OVER
  993. CLIMATE CHANGES ARE HERE
  994.  
  995. 205
  996. 00:18:43,981 --> 00:18:49,879
  997. BURNS IN CALIFORNIA 2018
  998. SEED FROM THE SPACE
  999.  
  1000. 206
  1001. 00:18:53,616 --> 00:19:00,573
  1002. HOT HOT MONTH AS EVER
  1003. HAVE BEEN RECALLED ON THE EARTH
  1004.  
  1005. 207
  1006. 00:19:00,623 --> 00:19:05,978
  1007. THE RESEARCHERS ONLY KNOW A CASE:
  1008. IT WILL BE WORSE
  1009.  
  1010. 208
  1011. 00:19:16,848 --> 00:19:22,745
  1012. The fires began almost simultaneously
  1013. in several places.
  1014.  
  1015. 209
  1016. 00:19:23,896 --> 00:19:29,852
  1017. More than 7,000 buildings were destroyed
  1018. of which about 3,000 homes.
  1019.  
  1020. 210
  1021. 00:19:29,902 --> 00:19:32,772
  1022. In the beginning when the fires were like the worst
  1023.  
  1024. 211
  1025. 00:19:32,822 --> 00:19:38,444
  1026. - maybe evacuated
  1027. 100,000 people.
  1028.  
  1029. 212
  1030. 00:19:38,494 --> 00:19:42,848
  1031. It is a collective trauma.
  1032.  
  1033. 213
  1034. 00:19:43,958 --> 00:19:47,078
  1035. It sounded and looked like a war zone.
  1036.  
  1037. 214
  1038. 00:19:47,128 --> 00:19:49,706
  1039. Hanley-fire
  1040. reached here after 24 hours.
  1041.  
  1042. 215
  1043. 00:19:49,756 --> 00:19:52,667
  1044. It burned roughly
  1045. same impression here in 24 hours.
  1046.  
  1047. 216
  1048. 00:19:52,717 --> 00:19:55,211
  1049. Near 200 buildings were burned down.
  1050.  
  1051. 217
  1052. 00:19:55,261 --> 00:19:59,799
  1053. This fire started in the evening
  1054. and reached Santa Rosa in four hours.
  1055.  
  1056. 218
  1057. 00:19:59,849 --> 00:20:02,385
  1058. They cannot be compared,
  1059. besides the prints.
  1060.  
  1061. 219
  1062. 00:20:02,435 --> 00:20:06,931
  1063. Commander who came here
  1064. to lead the rescue work-
  1065.  
  1066. 220
  1067. 00:20:06,981 --> 00:20:10,435
  1068. - just shook his head:
  1069. "I've never seen anything like it."
  1070.  
  1071. 221
  1072. 00:20:10,485 --> 00:20:12,353
  1073. "And I've been with a long time."
  1074.  
  1075. 222
  1076. 00:20:12,403 --> 00:20:19,027
  1077. It's hardly any comfort,
  1078. But that's where we are now.
  1079.  
  1080. 223
  1081. 00:20:19,077 --> 00:20:24,407
  1082. With such winds, how do we protect
  1083. citizens and infrastructure?
  1084.  
  1085. 224
  1086. 00:20:24,457 --> 00:20:29,120
  1087. What can we do to it?
  1088. stop as good as possible?
  1089.  
  1090. 225
  1091. 00:20:29,170 --> 00:20:36,127
  1092. Where has suffered five years of drought
  1093. who hit bushes and trees.
  1094.  
  1095. 226
  1096. 00:20:36,177 --> 00:20:42,925
  1097. The wind forces up at Geyser Peak
  1098. measured at 48 meters per second.
  1099.  
  1100. 227
  1101. 00:20:42,975 --> 00:20:47,472
  1102. What to do when it blows so hard
  1103. and a fire occurs?
  1104.  
  1105. 228
  1106. 00:20:47,522 --> 00:20:52,001
  1107. One can only try to figure out
  1108. its direction and how fast it goes.
  1109.  
  1110. 229
  1111. 00:20:55,238 --> 00:20:58,441
  1112. I never thought that the fire
  1113. would leave the mountains
  1114.  
  1115. 230
  1116. 00:20:58,491 --> 00:21:01,969
  1117. -and smooth Santa Rosa with the ground.
  1118.  
  1119. 231
  1120. 00:21:02,662 --> 00:21:05,114
  1121. Cars have been evicted.
  1122.  
  1123. 232
  1124. 00:21:05,164 --> 00:21:09,577
  1125. Large pieces of glowing coal
  1126.  
  1127. 233
  1128. 00:21:09,627 --> 00:21:13,498
  1129. - brought by the wind,
  1130. a good bit in front of the fire.
  1131.  
  1132. 234
  1133. 00:21:13,548 --> 00:21:17,001
  1134. You see trees with broken branches.
  1135.  
  1136. 235
  1137. 00:21:17,051 --> 00:21:20,112
  1138. They have not been burned off, they were broken off.
  1139.  
  1140. 236
  1141. 00:21:21,722 --> 00:21:25,301
  1142. natural disasters
  1143. has become so common now-
  1144.  
  1145. 237
  1146. 00:21:25,351 --> 00:21:28,554
  1147. - that people know
  1148. that they will suffer.
  1149.  
  1150. 238
  1151. 00:21:28,604 --> 00:21:33,142
  1152. It's not the question, but when.
  1153.  
  1154. 239
  1155. 00:21:33,192 --> 00:21:39,023
  1156. It is an alarm clock for everyone.
  1157. Climate change is here
  1158.  
  1159. 240
  1160. 00:21:39,073 --> 00:21:42,384
  1161. -and you have to plan for it.
  1162.  
  1163. 241
  1164. 00:21:47,582 --> 00:21:52,870
  1165. Climate change causes more
  1166. species are endangered.
  1167.  
  1168. 242
  1169. 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,332
  1170. But that's not the first time.
  1171.  
  1172. 243
  1173. 00:21:56,382 --> 00:22:01,754
  1174. Studies of geological findings
  1175. has demonstrated a connection
  1176.  
  1177. 244
  1178. 00:22:01,804 --> 00:22:07,493
  1179. - between high carbon levels and the latest ones
  1180. five periods of mass death.
  1181.  
  1182. 245
  1183. 00:22:08,686 --> 00:22:15,977
  1184. It's a natural law to carbon cycle
  1185. affects the structure of life.
  1186.  
  1187. 246
  1188. 00:22:16,027 --> 00:22:19,272
  1189. Every time a massive increase
  1190. of the colonies have taken place -
  1191.  
  1192. 247
  1193. 00:22:19,322 --> 00:22:24,277
  1194. - the motley weave of life has weakened
  1195. and sometimes collapsed.
  1196.  
  1197. 248
  1198. 00:22:24,327 --> 00:22:30,825
  1199. MIT
  1200. ATMOSPHERE AND PLANETARY RESEARCH
  1201.  
  1202. 249
  1203. 00:22:30,875 --> 00:22:36,998
  1204. I have worked with
  1205. carbon cycle connection
  1206.  
  1207. 250
  1208. 00:22:37,048 --> 00:22:38,750
  1209. -with the presence of mass death
  1210.  
  1211. 251
  1212. 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:43,195
  1213. - and whether the carbon cycle
  1214. is unstable when it happens.
  1215.  
  1216. 252
  1217. 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:49,886
  1218. The carbon cycle is there
  1219. life and the environment interact.
  1220.  
  1221. 253
  1222. 00:22:49,936 --> 00:22:54,265
  1223. You can see it as a big one
  1224. circular flow between photosynthesis
  1225.  
  1226. 254
  1227. 00:22:54,315 --> 00:22:57,727
  1228. - which is the process as
  1229. takes carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere
  1230.  
  1231. 255
  1232. 00:22:57,777 --> 00:23:03,107
  1233. - converts it to oxygen
  1234. and plant material or organic carbon.
  1235.  
  1236. 256
  1237. 00:23:03,157 --> 00:23:06,361
  1238. The reverse reaction in the circle
  1239. is called respiration-
  1240.  
  1241. 257
  1242. 00:23:06,411 --> 00:23:12,266
  1243. - which is when the plant material
  1244. converted to carbon dioxide.
  1245.  
  1246. 258
  1247. 00:23:13,459 --> 00:23:18,331
  1248. During a completed lap
  1249. takes the carbon cycle around 100 gigatons of coal
  1250.  
  1251. 259
  1252. 00:23:18,381 --> 00:23:22,168
  1253. - from the atmosphere and the seas,
  1254. and return it every year.
  1255.  
  1256. 260
  1257. 00:23:22,218 --> 00:23:26,255
  1258. So it's 100 gigatons out,
  1259. and 100 gigatons back in.
  1260.  
  1261. 261
  1262. 00:23:26,305 --> 00:23:31,386
  1263. Of this, we contribute 8 percent,
  1264. with fossil fuels.
  1265.  
  1266. 262
  1267. 00:23:31,436 --> 00:23:36,808
  1268. An increase of 8 percent compared to
  1269. what had circulated normally.
  1270.  
  1271. 263
  1272. 00:23:36,858 --> 00:23:41,504
  1273. That's more than what
  1274. the volcanoes supply the system.
  1275.  
  1276. 264
  1277. 00:23:53,583 --> 00:23:59,539
  1278. The planet is constantly working
  1279. to restore the balances.
  1280.  
  1281. 265
  1282. 00:23:59,589 --> 00:24:02,709
  1283. It's the water cycle,
  1284. the nitrogen cycle and the carbon cycle.
  1285.  
  1286. 266
  1287. 00:24:02,759 --> 00:24:06,587
  1288. You can see it
  1289. as a constant flow.
  1290.  
  1291. 267
  1292. 00:24:06,637 --> 00:24:11,092
  1293. One way for the planet to do it
  1294. was to take everything
  1295.  
  1296. 268
  1297. 00:24:11,142 --> 00:24:15,471
  1298. - that was in the dinosaurs
  1299. and the plants on land
  1300.  
  1301. 269
  1302. 00:24:15,521 --> 00:24:20,810
  1303. - and squeeze it together
  1304. for oil and fossil fuels.
  1305.  
  1306. 270
  1307. 00:24:20,860 --> 00:24:27,108
  1308. It was hidden for a very long time,
  1309. And we are a very young species.
  1310.  
  1311. 271
  1312. 00:24:27,158 --> 00:24:30,278
  1313. But we were curious and dug up
  1314.  
  1315. 272
  1316. 00:24:30,328 --> 00:24:35,158
  1317. - the coal that the earth had hidden away.
  1318.  
  1319. 273
  1320. 00:24:35,208 --> 00:24:40,413
  1321. Then we burned it up without understanding
  1322. that it was like burning furniture
  1323.  
  1324. 274
  1325. 00:24:40,463 --> 00:24:43,232
  1326. - Indoors with closed windows.
  1327.  
  1328. 275
  1329. 00:24:44,175 --> 00:24:48,921
  1330. What happens is
  1331. that the planet backs back.
  1332.  
  1333. 276
  1334. 00:24:48,971 --> 00:24:53,676
  1335. There is a surplus
  1336. of coal in the atmosphere.
  1337.  
  1338. 277
  1339. 00:24:53,726 --> 00:24:58,639
  1340. It leads to the living conditions-
  1341.  
  1342. 278
  1343. 00:24:58,689 --> 00:25:02,226
  1344. - here on earth is put out of balance.
  1345.  
  1346. 279
  1347. 00:25:02,276 --> 00:25:06,481
  1348. As a biologist,
  1349. when i see climate change
  1350.  
  1351. 280
  1352. 00:25:06,531 --> 00:25:11,361
  1353. - I see rising sea levels
  1354. and melting polaris.
  1355.  
  1356. 281
  1357. 00:25:11,411 --> 00:25:13,804
  1358. I see that as evidence.
  1359.  
  1360. 282
  1361. 00:25:14,789 --> 00:25:20,828
  1362. But when we look at it
  1363. how biological organisms
  1364.  
  1365. 283
  1366. 00:25:20,878 --> 00:25:26,901
  1367. - responds to the warmer temperatures,
  1368. they have already started to move.
  1369.  
  1370. 284
  1371. 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,506
  1372. They move towards the poles
  1373. to cool down.
  1374.  
  1375. 285
  1376. 00:25:31,556 --> 00:25:35,760
  1377. They move upwards
  1378. from lower mountain areas.
  1379.  
  1380. 286
  1381. 00:25:35,810 --> 00:25:39,013
  1382. Whole areas of distribution are moved.
  1383.  
  1384. 287
  1385. 00:25:39,063 --> 00:25:42,975
  1386. Sometimes they also move
  1387. without their helpers.
  1388.  
  1389. 288
  1390. 00:25:43,025 --> 00:25:46,521
  1391. If a plant moves north
  1392. does not cope with its pollinators.
  1393.  
  1394. 289
  1395. 00:25:46,571 --> 00:25:53,636
  1396. In a scientific, boring language
  1397. you call it ecological disturbance.
  1398.  
  1399. 290
  1400. 00:25:54,871 --> 00:26:01,202
  1401. If we change the conditions
  1402. who created all this ...
  1403.  
  1404. 291
  1405. 00:26:01,252 --> 00:26:08,734
  1406. Even us. Then we come ...
  1407. It will track down.
  1408.  
  1409. 292
  1410. 00:26:11,971 --> 00:26:18,511
  1411. When the carbon cycle is unstable
  1412. Do the things we don't understand.
  1413.  
  1414. 293
  1415. 00:26:18,561 --> 00:26:23,558
  1416. On the geological time scale
  1417. are there events
  1418.  
  1419. 294
  1420. 00:26:23,608 --> 00:26:27,169
  1421. - within the carbon cycle,
  1422. where things changed.
  1423.  
  1424. 295
  1425. 00:26:30,364 --> 00:26:37,221
  1426. One such was the paleocene eocene
  1427. thermal maxima, 55 million years ago.
  1428.  
  1429. 296
  1430. 00:26:38,498 --> 00:26:43,494
  1431. Then there is much worse,
  1432. disastrous events
  1433.  
  1434. 297
  1435. 00:26:43,544 --> 00:26:48,082
  1436. - in the form of mass extinction.
  1437. The worst is called Perm-trias extinction.
  1438.  
  1439. 298
  1440. 00:26:48,132 --> 00:26:50,793
  1441. 95% OF EVERY LIFE DOG OUT
  1442. FOR 250 MILLION YEARS LATE
  1443.  
  1444. 299
  1445. 00:26:50,843 --> 00:26:56,090
  1446. Then the story looks, but we do
  1447. doing today is another problem-
  1448.  
  1449. 300
  1450. 00:26:56,140 --> 00:26:58,676
  1451. - We know what is going on.
  1452.  
  1453. 301
  1454. 00:26:58,726 --> 00:27:04,682
  1455. We know that we have added CO2
  1456. by using fossil fuels.
  1457.  
  1458. 302
  1459. 00:27:04,732 --> 00:27:08,895
  1460. Then the question is whether it is at risk
  1461. to induce similar events
  1462.  
  1463. 303
  1464. 00:27:08,945 --> 00:27:10,980
  1465. - as we have seen in the past.
  1466.  
  1467. 304
  1468. 00:27:11,030 --> 00:27:14,192
  1469. I would call it
  1470. instability in the carbon cycle.
  1471.  
  1472. 305
  1473. 00:27:14,242 --> 00:27:18,905
  1474. When small changes
  1475. turns into big changes.
  1476.  
  1477. 306
  1478. 00:27:18,955 --> 00:27:22,808
  1479. It is a scientific definition
  1480. of a disaster.
  1481.  
  1482. 307
  1483. 00:27:24,168 --> 00:27:29,982
  1484. But at individual level is
  1485. the loss of one's home a disaster.
  1486.  
  1487. 308
  1488. 00:27:43,626 --> 00:27:47,416
  1489. Climate change will
  1490. cause the world's largest refugee crisis
  1491.  
  1492. 309
  1493. 00:27:59,366 --> 00:28:04,367
  1494. Climate change soon
  1495. a threat to biodiversity
  1496.  
  1497. 310
  1498. 00:28:04,417 --> 00:28:09,580
  1499. Rising temperatures threaten
  1500. to eradicate wild animals and plants
  1501.  
  1502. 311
  1503. 00:28:09,630 --> 00:28:15,420
  1504. Climate change is killing
  1505. corals in the Great Barrier Reef
  1506.  
  1507. 312
  1508. 00:28:15,470 --> 00:28:22,701
  1509. The changes threaten ancient trees,
  1510. But that's not all
  1511.  
  1512. 313
  1513. 00:28:35,531 --> 00:28:40,928
  1514. We are all climate refugees now
  1515.  
  1516. 314
  1517. 00:28:50,421 --> 00:28:55,209
  1518. We can still avoid it
  1519. dangerous break point at two degrees.
  1520.  
  1521. 315
  1522. 00:28:55,259 --> 00:28:59,297
  1523. But for every year that we are passive-
  1524.  
  1525. 316
  1526. 00:28:59,347 --> 00:29:03,509
  1527. - it becomes increasingly difficult
  1528. to limit our carbon emissions
  1529.  
  1530. 317
  1531. 00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:07,872
  1532. - and stay under
  1533. the two-degree heating.
  1534.  
  1535. 318
  1536. 00:29:34,006 --> 00:29:37,735
  1537. UN climate conference 2015
  1538. Paris, France
  1539.  
  1540. 319
  1541. 00:29:40,346 --> 00:29:47,953
  1542. World leader celebrates the Paris Agreement:
  1543. "A big step for humanity"
  1544.  
  1545. 320
  1546. 00:29:56,946 --> 00:30:04,553
  1547. KOLKLOCKAN:
  1548. Time left before the budget is spent
  1549.  
  1550. 321
  1551. 00:30:17,133 --> 00:30:20,753
  1552. We know we've sent out
  1553. too much carbon in the atmosphere.
  1554.  
  1555. 322
  1556. 00:30:20,803 --> 00:30:23,423
  1557. But how much is too much?
  1558.  
  1559. 323
  1560. 00:30:23,473 --> 00:30:26,843
  1561. The researchers have come up with
  1562. what that figure is -
  1563.  
  1564. 324
  1565. 00:30:26,893 --> 00:30:32,473
  1566. - and has entered a carbon budget
  1567. which shows what margin life has.
  1568.  
  1569. 325
  1570. 00:30:32,523 --> 00:30:37,854
  1571. The budget shows where we are today,
  1572. how much more coal we can burn -
  1573.  
  1574. 326
  1575. 00:30:37,904 --> 00:30:45,052
  1576. - and how much must be removed
  1577. to sustain life on earth.
  1578.  
  1579. 327
  1580. 00:30:47,789 --> 00:30:52,702
  1581. The biggest challenge is, according to me
  1582. dangerous climate change.
  1583.  
  1584. 328
  1585. 00:30:52,752 --> 00:30:58,666
  1586. If we want to avoid dangerous
  1587. climate change, we must realize
  1588.  
  1589. 329
  1590. 00:30:58,716 --> 00:31:03,629
  1591. - that atmosphere, like human
  1592. waste disposal site has its limit.
  1593.  
  1594. 330
  1595. 00:31:03,679 --> 00:31:08,676
  1596. We can release about
  1597. 800 gigatons of CO2 in the atmosphere
  1598.  
  1599. 331
  1600. 00:31:08,726 --> 00:31:12,096
  1601. -in that limit.
  1602.  
  1603. 332
  1604. 00:31:12,146 --> 00:31:18,895
  1605. But over the past five years
  1606. have we already released 200 gigatons
  1607.  
  1608. 333
  1609. 00:31:18,945 --> 00:31:22,607
  1610. - which means that in two decades
  1611.  
  1612. 334
  1613. 00:31:22,657 --> 00:31:26,611
  1614. - We have already used up
  1615. our limited space.
  1616.  
  1617. 335
  1618. 00:31:26,661 --> 00:31:33,701
  1619. In Paris it was important
  1620. that the leaders of the whole world agreed
  1621.  
  1622. 336
  1623. 00:31:33,751 --> 00:31:38,289
  1624. - to limit the temperature increase
  1625. well below two degrees.
  1626.  
  1627. 337
  1628. 00:31:38,339 --> 00:31:41,292
  1629. That's the safety margin
  1630. and it is important-
  1631.  
  1632. 338
  1633. 00:31:41,342 --> 00:31:45,213
  1634. - that more than a hundred nations
  1635. stand behind it.
  1636.  
  1637. 339
  1638. 00:31:45,263 --> 00:31:50,593
  1639. If you think of the volume in
  1640. the ball symbolizes the CO2
  1641.  
  1642. 340
  1643. 00:31:50,643 --> 00:31:57,141
  1644. - still in the ground
  1645. in the form of coal, oil and gas.
  1646.  
  1647. 341
  1648. 00:31:57,191 --> 00:32:00,311
  1649. Here we have the amount of coal.
  1650.  
  1651. 342
  1652. 00:32:00,361 --> 00:32:05,400
  1653. If we want to limit the increase
  1654. up to two degrees globally
  1655.  
  1656. 343
  1657. 00:32:05,450 --> 00:32:10,571
  1658. - Let's just let go
  1659. this is a little carbon in the atmosphere.
  1660.  
  1661. 344
  1662. 00:32:10,621 --> 00:32:15,410
  1663. At the same time we have
  1664. much more coal left in the ground
  1665.  
  1666. 345
  1667. 00:32:15,460 --> 00:32:21,124
  1668. - not going out into the atmosphere about
  1669. the increase should be kept below two degrees.
  1670.  
  1671. 346
  1672. 00:32:21,174 --> 00:32:23,459
  1673. The question is therefore
  1674. how it should go together?
  1675.  
  1676. 347
  1677. 00:32:23,509 --> 00:32:28,673
  1678. The next 20 years are
  1679. an enormously important time span.
  1680.  
  1681. 348
  1682. 00:32:28,723 --> 00:32:34,429
  1683. We must separate the financial
  1684. growth from the growing emissions.
  1685.  
  1686. 349
  1687. 00:32:34,479 --> 00:32:38,558
  1688. At the middle of the century, we must
  1689. be down in zero emissions
  1690.  
  1691. 350
  1692. 00:32:38,608 --> 00:32:43,688
  1693. - and after 2050 we need
  1694. even negative emissions.
  1695.  
  1696. 351
  1697. 00:32:43,738 --> 00:32:47,650
  1698. The charcoal clock only informs
  1699. humanity about where we stand today.
  1700.  
  1701. 352
  1702. 00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:53,823
  1703. It shows how we dispose of
  1704. the limited space in the atmosphere.
  1705.  
  1706. 353
  1707. 00:32:53,873 --> 00:32:56,851
  1708. It's a huge challenge
  1709. for Humanity.
  1710.  
  1711. 354
  1712. 00:33:08,346 --> 00:33:14,135
  1713. Science says the climate crisis
  1714. is a problem we ourselves have created.
  1715.  
  1716. 355
  1717. 00:33:14,185 --> 00:33:17,388
  1718. But that's also
  1719. a problem we can solve
  1720.  
  1721. 356
  1722. 00:33:17,438 --> 00:33:23,269
  1723. We must stop dropping coal
  1724. and transition to renewable energy.
  1725.  
  1726. 357
  1727. 00:33:23,319 --> 00:33:28,775
  1728. It is also vital
  1729. to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
  1730.  
  1731. 358
  1732. 00:33:28,825 --> 00:33:34,364
  1733. Climate change is possible
  1734. turn back - if we act now.
  1735.  
  1736. 359
  1737. 00:33:34,414 --> 00:33:39,660
  1738. Research has found solutions
  1739. that can reduce the amount of coal -
  1740.  
  1741. 360
  1742. 00:33:39,710 --> 00:33:42,455
  1743. - So we end up in level
  1744. with pre-industrial time.
  1745.  
  1746. 361
  1747. 00:33:42,505 --> 00:33:45,875
  1748. NORWAY CALIFORNIA Redwood forest
  1749.  
  1750. 362
  1751. 00:33:45,925 --> 00:33:49,003
  1752. There are only two measures
  1753. that helps the atmosphere.
  1754.  
  1755. 363
  1756. 00:33:49,053 --> 00:33:52,006
  1757. You either stop
  1758. greenhouse gas
  1759.  
  1760. 364
  1761. 00:33:52,556 --> 00:33:54,717
  1762. - or you lower the CO2 level.
  1763. That's all.
  1764.  
  1765. 365
  1766. 00:33:54,767 --> 00:33:59,680
  1767. The first one can be done through
  1768. more efficient and cleaner energy.
  1769.  
  1770. 366
  1771. 00:33:59,730 --> 00:34:05,978
  1772. The second is through photosynthesis.
  1773. Either through agriculture and forestry
  1774.  
  1775. 367
  1776. 00:34:06,028 --> 00:34:09,691
  1777. - or plankton and kelp in the seas.
  1778. There are only two measures.
  1779.  
  1780. 368
  1781. 00:34:09,741 --> 00:34:12,944
  1782. That way it's pretty simple.
  1783.  
  1784. 369
  1785. 00:34:12,994 --> 00:34:19,492
  1786. Previously, all solutions have
  1787. always just focused on energy.
  1788.  
  1789. 370
  1790. 00:34:19,542 --> 00:34:23,329
  1791. Energy, energy and energy,
  1792. which is fully understandable.
  1793.  
  1794. 371
  1795. 00:34:23,379 --> 00:34:28,710
  1796. Of course it is a good idea
  1797. to stop CO2 emissions.
  1798.  
  1799. 372
  1800. 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:34,048
  1801. But when the emphasis has been put on
  1802. clean energy sources such as sun and wind
  1803.  
  1804. 373
  1805. 00:34:34,998 --> 00:34:40,371
  1806. - He's almost ruled out
  1807. the remaining solutions.
  1808.  
  1809. 374
  1810. 00:34:42,690 --> 00:34:44,183
  1811. Drawdown:
  1812.  
  1813. 375
  1814. 00:34:44,233 --> 00:34:48,187
  1815. To reverse climate change
  1816. by pulling coal out of the atmosphere.
  1817.  
  1818. 376
  1819. 00:34:48,237 --> 00:34:54,277
  1820. The purpose of the drawdown was to redo
  1821. the 80 solutions we had developed
  1822.  
  1823. 377
  1824. 00:34:54,327 --> 00:34:59,991
  1825. - could return
  1826. global warming within 30 years.
  1827.  
  1828. 378
  1829. 00:35:00,041 --> 00:35:02,744
  1830. From reducing to turning down.
  1831.  
  1832. 379
  1833. 00:35:02,794 --> 00:35:07,832
  1834. The emission curve shows
  1835. that we have a choice.
  1836.  
  1837. 380
  1838. 00:35:07,882 --> 00:35:12,754
  1839. If we increase the scope
  1840. of some of the solutions-
  1841.  
  1842. 381
  1843. 00:35:12,804 --> 00:35:17,633
  1844. - we can achieve drawdown around 2050.
  1845.  
  1846. 382
  1847. 00:35:17,683 --> 00:35:25,166
  1848. I agree with the odds
  1849. is against us, but I must take it.
  1850.  
  1851. 383
  1852. 00:35:53,886 --> 00:35:55,546
  1853. My name is Linwood Gill.
  1854.  
  1855. 384
  1856. 00:35:55,596 --> 00:36:00,259
  1857. I am the chief forest guard at
  1858. Usal Redwood Forest Company.
  1859.  
  1860. 385
  1861. 00:36:00,309 --> 00:36:03,596
  1862. Usal Redwood Forest
  1863. is a general forest
  1864.  
  1865. 386
  1866. 00:36:03,646 --> 00:36:07,975
  1867. - owned by the non-profit foundation
  1868. Redwood Forest Foundation.
  1869.  
  1870. 387
  1871. 00:36:08,025 --> 00:36:10,520
  1872. The forest is 50,000 acres.
  1873.  
  1874. 388
  1875. 00:36:10,570 --> 00:36:17,443
  1876. The purpose is to preserve the forest,
  1877. partly as an economic security
  1878.  
  1879. 389
  1880. 00:36:17,493 --> 00:36:23,366
  1881. - and to protect it
  1882. natural environment for animals and fish
  1883.  
  1884. 390
  1885. 00:36:23,416 --> 00:36:26,452
  1886. - but also to remove
  1887. coal out the atmosphere.
  1888.  
  1889. 391
  1890. 00:36:26,502 --> 00:36:31,833
  1891. It is one of ours
  1892. main mission right now.
  1893.  
  1894. 392
  1895. 00:36:31,883 --> 00:36:37,380
  1896. It is an important part of the fight
  1897. against climate change.
  1898.  
  1899. 393
  1900. 00:36:37,430 --> 00:36:41,259
  1901. Usal Redwood Forest
  1902. is a very young redwood forest.
  1903.  
  1904. 394
  1905. 00:36:41,309 --> 00:36:47,498
  1906. Redwood can absorb more carbon
  1907. than any other tree variety on the planet.
  1908.  
  1909. 395
  1910. 00:36:49,025 --> 00:36:56,441
  1911. Through their needles, the trees absorb carbon
  1912. from the carbon dioxide in the air.
  1913.  
  1914. 396
  1915. 00:36:56,491 --> 00:37:02,739
  1916. Then the coal is stored in the trunk,
  1917. roots and branches.
  1918.  
  1919. 397
  1920. 00:37:02,789 --> 00:37:08,227
  1921. As far as I know, this is here
  1922. one of the country's largest coal projects.
  1923.  
  1924. 398
  1925. 00:37:15,593 --> 00:37:20,239
  1926. I am a bio fertilizer project manager
  1927. at the Redwood Forest Foundation.
  1928.  
  1929. 399
  1930. 00:37:21,182 --> 00:37:24,886
  1931. We have great concerns
  1932. here in California-
  1933.  
  1934. 400
  1935. 00:37:24,936 --> 00:37:29,098
  1936. - with over a hundred million dead trees.
  1937.  
  1938. 401
  1939. 00:37:29,148 --> 00:37:31,625
  1940. We have to do something about it.
  1941.  
  1942. 402
  1943. 00:37:33,319 --> 00:37:36,606
  1944. Here is a beetle called
  1945. Western Pine Bark Beetle
  1946.  
  1947. 403
  1948. 00:37:36,656 --> 00:37:42,636
  1949. - who are living on chewing themselves
  1950. yellow and also other trees.
  1951.  
  1952. 404
  1953. 00:37:43,329 --> 00:37:45,865
  1954. They have been here for thousands of years
  1955.  
  1956. 405
  1957. 00:37:45,915 --> 00:37:49,869
  1958. - and have lived in harmony with the trees.
  1959.  
  1960. 406
  1961. 00:37:49,919 --> 00:37:53,498
  1962. But because of climate change
  1963. and the prolonged drought
  1964.  
  1965. 407
  1966. 00:37:53,548 --> 00:37:56,042
  1967. - has millions of trees
  1968. become very weak
  1969.  
  1970. 408
  1971. 00:37:56,992 --> 00:38:00,546
  1972. - and has difficulty defending
  1973. against the beetle.
  1974.  
  1975. 409
  1976. 00:38:00,596 --> 00:38:05,676
  1977. Bio fertilizer can be a way to
  1978. attack the problem of beetles
  1979.  
  1980. 410
  1981. 00:38:05,726 --> 00:38:08,763
  1982. - and the dying trees
  1983. in Sierra Nevada.
  1984.  
  1985. 411
  1986. 00:38:08,813 --> 00:38:14,644
  1987. Bio-fertilizer is a form of coal
  1988. which is useful in farming
  1989.  
  1990. 412
  1991. 00:38:14,694 --> 00:38:18,214
  1992. -and gives a more prosperous soil.
  1993.  
  1994. 413
  1995. 00:38:21,242 --> 00:38:24,362
  1996. When dry distilling the wood biomass
  1997.  
  1998. 414
  1999. 00:38:24,412 --> 00:38:31,602
  2000. - half of the coal can
  2001. The biomass is recovered as residual waste.
  2002.  
  2003. 415
  2004. 00:38:32,295 --> 00:38:39,001
  2005. The biomass helps the soil through
  2006. to bind nutrients and water.
  2007.  
  2008. 416
  2009. 00:38:39,551 --> 00:38:43,381
  2010. It's more like a kind of construction
  2011. who incubates life.
  2012.  
  2013. 417
  2014. 00:38:43,431 --> 00:38:46,426
  2015. Almost half are used
  2016. of all the coal in the plant
  2017.  
  2018. 418
  2019. 00:38:46,476 --> 00:38:49,887
  2020. - which will be better
  2021. use in cultivated soil.
  2022.  
  2023. 419
  2024. 00:38:49,937 --> 00:38:52,974
  2025. It is of enormous benefit
  2026. for agriculture.
  2027.  
  2028. 420
  2029. 00:38:53,024 --> 00:38:56,477
  2030. We have large amounts of biomass
  2031. need to be used.
  2032.  
  2033. 421
  2034. 00:38:56,527 --> 00:39:02,942
  2035. The trees constitute a fire hazard
  2036. while the fires are raging in California.
  2037.  
  2038. 422
  2039. 00:39:02,992 --> 00:39:06,863
  2040. By producing bio fertilizer
  2041. can we bring back some of the material
  2042.  
  2043. 423
  2044. 00:39:06,913 --> 00:39:09,073
  2045. - to the forests safely.
  2046.  
  2047. 424
  2048. 00:39:09,123 --> 00:39:16,539
  2049. Or we use the biomass
  2050. in the valley, where water is really needed.
  2051.  
  2052. 425
  2053. 00:39:16,589 --> 00:39:23,838
  2054. One of the benefits of bio fertilizer is
  2055. that it binds water in the soil.
  2056.  
  2057. 426
  2058. 00:39:23,888 --> 00:39:28,092
  2059. If we added biofertilizer in
  2060. ten percent of the world's cultivation soil
  2061.  
  2062. 427
  2063. 00:39:28,142 --> 00:39:33,473
  2064. - we should isolate
  2065. 29 billion tons of CO2.
  2066.  
  2067. 428
  2068. 00:39:33,523 --> 00:39:38,019
  2069. 29 billion tons with ten percent.
  2070. And just by using
  2071.  
  2072. 429
  2073. 00:39:38,669 --> 00:39:43,090
  2074. - "leftover residual material".
  2075. It is significant.
  2076.  
  2077. 430
  2078. 00:39:44,992 --> 00:39:48,071
  2079. Then we have the climate compensations.
  2080.  
  2081. 431
  2082. 00:39:48,121 --> 00:39:51,866
  2083. For us to get them
  2084. we must employ multiple
  2085.  
  2086. 432
  2087. 00:39:51,916 --> 00:39:55,828
  2088. - who works with the forest
  2089. and can attest to the clients
  2090.  
  2091. 433
  2092. 00:39:55,878 --> 00:39:59,916
  2093. - that the coal we say we have
  2094. actually there
  2095.  
  2096. 434
  2097. 00:39:59,966 --> 00:40:02,752
  2098. -and stays here in the future.
  2099.  
  2100. 435
  2101. 00:40:02,802 --> 00:40:06,214
  2102. I like to see ourselves as an example
  2103. who can inspire others
  2104.  
  2105. 436
  2106. 00:40:06,264 --> 00:40:08,508
  2107. - to do the same as we do.
  2108.  
  2109. 437
  2110. 00:40:08,558 --> 00:40:10,468
  2111. This is not rocket research.
  2112.  
  2113. 438
  2114. 00:40:10,518 --> 00:40:14,722
  2115. Carbon storage becomes
  2116. huge in the future.
  2117.  
  2118. 439
  2119. 00:40:14,772 --> 00:40:19,310
  2120. We need more and bigger forests.
  2121.  
  2122. 440
  2123. 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:25,424
  2124. Forests that should never be felled
  2125. and remain forever.
  2126.  
  2127. 441
  2128. 00:40:42,133 --> 00:40:46,170
  2129. My name is Kate Scow and I am a professor
  2130. in land-air and water resources-
  2131.  
  2132. 442
  2133. 00:40:46,220 --> 00:40:48,423
  2134. - at the University of California, Davis.
  2135.  
  2136. 443
  2137. 00:40:48,473 --> 00:40:51,092
  2138. I am also an earth microbial ecologist.
  2139.  
  2140. 444
  2141. 00:40:51,142 --> 00:40:58,182
  2142. The carbon cycle globally involves
  2143. both water and terrestrial systems.
  2144.  
  2145. 445
  2146. 00:40:58,232 --> 00:41:03,337
  2147. Soil is an important part
  2148. of the terrestrial system.
  2149.  
  2150. 446
  2151. 00:41:04,655 --> 00:41:10,194
  2152. Soil contains 2-3 times more carbon
  2153. compared to the atmosphere.
  2154.  
  2155. 447
  2156. 00:41:10,244 --> 00:41:15,116
  2157. The earth is the place there
  2158. crops grow best.
  2159.  
  2160. 448
  2161. 00:41:15,166 --> 00:41:22,248
  2162. That means that everything that grows
  2163. binds CO2 via photosynthesis
  2164.  
  2165. 449
  2166. 00:41:22,298 --> 00:41:27,920
  2167. - and miraculously creates a physical
  2168. mass here on earth from air.
  2169.  
  2170. 450
  2171. 00:41:27,970 --> 00:41:30,114
  2172. It still fascinates me.
  2173.  
  2174. 451
  2175. 00:41:31,557 --> 00:41:36,971
  2176. The process captures coal,
  2177. the plant binds CO2, it dies
  2178.  
  2179. 452
  2180. 00:41:37,021 --> 00:41:43,644
  2181. - the plant falls to the ground and
  2182. becomes part of the carbon cycle.
  2183.  
  2184. 453
  2185. 00:41:43,694 --> 00:41:49,859
  2186. There is much more coal
  2187. bound in the soil than in the atmosphere.
  2188.  
  2189. 454
  2190. 00:41:49,909 --> 00:41:56,491
  2191. Organic farms do not produce any
  2192. nutrients from artificial manure.
  2193.  
  2194. 455
  2195. 00:41:56,541 --> 00:42:01,204
  2196. The manure consists of organic material.
  2197.  
  2198. 456
  2199. 00:42:01,254 --> 00:42:04,165
  2200. It can be medium crops
  2201. or compost
  2202.  
  2203. 457
  2204. 00:42:04,215 --> 00:42:10,129
  2205. - as food, plant or animal remnants
  2206. as you plow into the earth.
  2207.  
  2208. 458
  2209. 00:42:10,179 --> 00:42:13,216
  2210. In an organic farming system
  2211. can you add-
  2212.  
  2213. 459
  2214. 00:42:13,266 --> 00:42:19,097
  2215. - eight times as much coal
  2216. compared to a regular system.
  2217.  
  2218. 460
  2219. 00:42:19,147 --> 00:42:23,876
  2220. It's really quite simple.
  2221.  
  2222. 461
  2223. 00:42:25,945 --> 00:42:30,066
  2224. Climate change
  2225. gives us the chance
  2226.  
  2227. 462
  2228. 00:42:30,116 --> 00:42:34,445
  2229. - to change our behavior
  2230. on this planet.
  2231.  
  2232. 463
  2233. 00:42:34,495 --> 00:42:39,826
  2234. We know what we are capable of
  2235. in the worst case, so now the question is ...
  2236.  
  2237. 464
  2238. 00:42:39,876 --> 00:42:47,108
  2239. If we deliberately want to be
  2240. part of the healing process ...
  2241.  
  2242. 465
  2243. 00:42:49,635 --> 00:42:54,073
  2244. ... it can release our creativity.
  2245.  
  2246. 466
  2247. 00:42:55,516 --> 00:42:58,970
  2248. Then maybe you realize
  2249. that you have a garden.
  2250.  
  2251. 467
  2252. 00:42:59,020 --> 00:43:03,541
  2253. "Oh my God,"
  2254. I have a park nearby.
  2255.  
  2256. 468
  2257. 00:43:04,567 --> 00:43:11,215
  2258. We should see ourselves as we
  2259. helping to save the planet ...
  2260.  
  2261. 469
  2262. 00:43:13,201 --> 00:43:18,389
  2263. It is much better than seeing us
  2264. like nasty little children with matches.
  2265.  
  2266. 470
  2267. 00:43:19,290 --> 00:43:26,205
  2268. Then you realize that we are all
  2269. small pieces of the solution.
  2270.  
  2271. 471
  2272. 00:43:26,255 --> 00:43:29,751
  2273. Now we send directly
  2274. from my mentor's house.
  2275.  
  2276. 472
  2277. 00:43:29,801 --> 00:43:33,212
  2278. The organic gardener
  2279. Ron Finley.
  2280.  
  2281. 473
  2282. 00:43:33,262 --> 00:43:37,091
  2283. I always want to come here
  2284. and learn different ways -
  2285.  
  2286. 474
  2287. 00:43:37,141 --> 00:43:42,638
  2288. - to use the small soil
  2289. I have and grow as much as I can.
  2290.  
  2291. 475
  2292. 00:43:42,688 --> 00:43:46,225
  2293. Culinary climate measures
  2294. is what I want to see.
  2295.  
  2296. 476
  2297. 00:43:46,275 --> 00:43:50,396
  2298. What I grow sucks out
  2299. coal from the atmosphere.
  2300.  
  2301. 477
  2302. 00:43:50,446 --> 00:43:56,635
  2303. It shows that we can return it
  2304. back into the earth again.
  2305.  
  2306. 478
  2307. 00:43:58,371 --> 00:44:03,201
  2308. It creates both green jobs
  2309. and counteracts problems that-
  2310.  
  2311. 479
  2312. 00:44:03,251 --> 00:44:06,704
  2313. - diabetes and obesity
  2314. in the area where I live.
  2315.  
  2316. 480
  2317. 00:44:06,754 --> 00:44:11,793
  2318. There are many plots
  2319. and plenty of water available.
  2320.  
  2321. 481
  2322. 00:44:11,843 --> 00:44:15,254
  2323. It's for a good cause
  2324. and gives a nice result.
  2325.  
  2326. 482
  2327. 00:44:15,304 --> 00:44:20,176
  2328. We pull out the toxins from the atmosphere
  2329.  
  2330. 483
  2331. 00:44:20,226 --> 00:44:23,388
  2332. - which we ourselves have released.
  2333.  
  2334. 484
  2335. 00:44:23,438 --> 00:44:27,183
  2336. Best way to transform them
  2337. is to grow something edible.
  2338.  
  2339. 485
  2340. 00:44:27,233 --> 00:44:29,502
  2341. Grow on the roof, grow in the window.
  2342.  
  2343. 486
  2344. 00:44:30,778 --> 00:44:32,814
  2345. We know how it gets warmer.
  2346.  
  2347. 487
  2348. 00:44:32,864 --> 00:44:36,651
  2349. A farmer must have faith in the future.
  2350. No doomsday mentality.
  2351.  
  2352. 488
  2353. 00:44:36,701 --> 00:44:41,197
  2354. You have to plant, water
  2355. and believe that it will be a harvest.
  2356.  
  2357. 489
  2358. 00:44:41,247 --> 00:44:45,785
  2359. That is the discussion I want to see
  2360. when we talk about changing the climate.
  2361.  
  2362. 490
  2363. 00:44:45,835 --> 00:44:51,065
  2364. It doesn't happen overnight,
  2365. But we must start now. It's time.
  2366.  
  2367. 491
  2368. 00:45:12,737 --> 00:45:16,816
  2369. My name is Bren Smith
  2370. and runs Thimble Island Ocean Farm.
  2371.  
  2372. 492
  2373. 00:45:16,866 --> 00:45:21,571
  2374. We are in the Thimble Islands
  2375. in the Long Islands Sound.
  2376.  
  2377. 493
  2378. 00:45:21,621 --> 00:45:24,323
  2379. I grew up in
  2380. Newfoundland in Canada-
  2381.  
  2382. 494
  2383. 00:45:24,373 --> 00:45:27,744
  2384. - jumped off the plug
  2385. and have fished all over the planet.
  2386.  
  2387. 495
  2388. 00:45:27,794 --> 00:45:29,662
  2389. In Gloucester in Newfoundland
  2390.  
  2391. 496
  2392. 00:45:29,712 --> 00:45:32,415
  2393. - Then I worked
  2394. on the Bering Sea for many years.
  2395.  
  2396. 497
  2397. 00:45:32,465 --> 00:45:35,543
  2398. Then the industrialized fishery went
  2399. at high speed.
  2400.  
  2401. 498
  2402. 00:45:35,593 --> 00:45:38,796
  2403. We tore up whole ecosystems
  2404. with our trawlers
  2405.  
  2406. 499
  2407. 00:45:38,846 --> 00:45:42,050
  2408. - and chased less and less fish
  2409. all the way out to sea.
  2410.  
  2411. 500
  2412. 00:45:42,100 --> 00:45:44,177
  2413. It was completely unsustainable.
  2414.  
  2415. 501
  2416. 00:45:44,227 --> 00:45:49,457
  2417. Much of the fish I pulled up
  2418. would be food at McDonald's.
  2419.  
  2420. 502
  2421. 00:45:50,858 --> 00:45:54,729
  2422. It was an alarm clock
  2423. for many from my generation.
  2424.  
  2425. 503
  2426. 00:45:54,779 --> 00:45:58,399
  2427. I was out on the Bering Sea
  2428. when the cod market crashed.
  2429.  
  2430. 504
  2431. 00:45:58,449 --> 00:46:02,737
  2432. Thousands of people became unemployed,
  2433. factories were beaten again.
  2434.  
  2435. 505
  2436. 00:46:02,787 --> 00:46:07,241
  2437. It taught me that you can build
  2438. a culture for several hundred years
  2439.  
  2440. 506
  2441. 00:46:07,291 --> 00:46:09,410
  2442. - But if you don't
  2443. protects resources
  2444.  
  2445. 507
  2446. 00:46:09,460 --> 00:46:13,689
  2447. - can collapse the ecosystem
  2448. delete everything in a few years.
  2449.  
  2450. 508
  2451. 00:46:15,425 --> 00:46:19,921
  2452. That was when we began to realize
  2453. that problems like overfishing
  2454.  
  2455. 509
  2456. 00:46:19,971 --> 00:46:23,466
  2457. - and climate change
  2458. are not environmental issues
  2459.  
  2460. 510
  2461. 00:46:23,516 --> 00:46:26,761
  2462. - for us who work at sea.
  2463. They are financial problems.
  2464.  
  2465. 511
  2466. 00:46:26,811 --> 00:46:29,830
  2467. There is neither food nor jobs
  2468. on a dead planet.
  2469.  
  2470. 512
  2471. 00:46:32,024 --> 00:46:36,938
  2472. When I realized it was unsustainable
  2473. I began to look for sustainability.
  2474.  
  2475. 513
  2476. 00:46:36,988 --> 00:46:39,524
  2477. I retrained myself to oyster fishermen.
  2478.  
  2479. 514
  2480. 00:46:39,574 --> 00:46:43,778
  2481. The oysters taught me that nature
  2482. have created constructions-
  2483.  
  2484. 515
  2485. 00:46:43,828 --> 00:46:47,115
  2486. - millions of years ago
  2487. which alleviates our harmful effects.
  2488.  
  2489. 516
  2490. 00:46:47,165 --> 00:46:51,911
  2491. We do not need advanced technology.
  2492. Nature gives us seaweed and seafood
  2493.  
  2494. 517
  2495. 00:46:51,961 --> 00:46:55,206
  2496. - that binds five times more carbon
  2497. than terrestrial plants.
  2498.  
  2499. 518
  2500. 00:46:55,256 --> 00:47:00,294
  2501. An oyster filters 189 liters of water
  2502. per day, which removes nitrogen.
  2503.  
  2504. 519
  2505. 00:47:00,344 --> 00:47:02,880
  2506. My job as the ocean's chieftain
  2507.  
  2508. 520
  2509. 00:47:02,930 --> 00:47:06,217
  2510. - is to take advantage of nature's
  2511. constructions and cultivate them.
  2512.  
  2513. 521
  2514. 00:47:06,267 --> 00:47:08,428
  2515. It's pretty simple.
  2516.  
  2517. 522
  2518. 00:47:08,478 --> 00:47:14,809
  2519. It's great to grow restoration
  2520. species is that nothing is required.
  2521.  
  2522. 523
  2523. 00:47:14,859 --> 00:47:20,690
  2524. No fresh water, no food,
  2525. no manure and no land.
  2526.  
  2527. 524
  2528. 00:47:20,740 --> 00:47:23,926
  2529. It is the most sustainable
  2530. food production on earth.
  2531.  
  2532. 525
  2533. 00:47:25,703 --> 00:47:29,032
  2534. Kelp is this beautiful seagrass.
  2535.  
  2536. 526
  2537. 00:47:29,882 --> 00:47:34,287
  2538. The gateway to the new kitchen.
  2539. One of the fastest growing plants
  2540.  
  2541. 527
  2542. 00:47:34,337 --> 00:47:37,498
  2543. - and sucks up five times more carbon
  2544. than terrestrial plants.
  2545.  
  2546. 528
  2547. 00:47:37,548 --> 00:47:40,043
  2548. It's called Sea Sequoia.
  2549.  
  2550. 529
  2551. 00:47:40,933 --> 00:47:46,674
  2552. Kelp is just the beginning. There is
  2553. 10,000 edible plants in the seas.
  2554.  
  2555. 530
  2556. 00:47:46,724 --> 00:47:49,802
  2557. Parts of the plant
  2558. we can make kelp noodles.
  2559.  
  2560. 531
  2561. 00:47:49,852 --> 00:47:56,351
  2562. Then this can be
  2563. manure and animal feed.
  2564.  
  2565. 532
  2566. 00:47:56,401 --> 00:48:02,732
  2567. If cows eat seaweed feed decreases
  2568. methane emissions by 90 percent.
  2569.  
  2570. 533
  2571. 00:48:02,782 --> 00:48:07,945
  2572. Still, cows, sheep and goats have
  2573. eaten kelp for hundreds of years.
  2574.  
  2575. 534
  2576. 00:48:07,995 --> 00:48:10,573
  2577. On the Hebrides, in Maine
  2578. and elsewhere.
  2579.  
  2580. 535
  2581. 00:48:10,623 --> 00:48:15,495
  2582. There are incredible volumes. We can
  2583. produce 20 tons of kelp per acre
  2584.  
  2585. 536
  2586. 00:48:15,545 --> 00:48:20,500
  2587. - and 150,000 seafood.
  2588. Imagine this in larger scale
  2589.  
  2590. 537
  2591. 00:48:20,550 --> 00:48:24,504
  2592. - to an area of Washington state.
  2593. Then you can give the whole world food.
  2594.  
  2595. 538
  2596. 00:48:24,554 --> 00:48:29,217
  2597. Take five percent of US
  2598. territorial waters and
  2599.  
  2600. 539
  2601. 00:48:29,267 --> 00:48:31,594
  2602. - 50 million new jobs are created
  2603.  
  2604. 540
  2605. 00:48:31,644 --> 00:48:36,624
  2606. - and coal equivalent
  2607. 20 million cars are bound.
  2608.  
  2609. 541
  2610. 00:48:38,109 --> 00:48:41,020
  2611. Our crops also soften
  2612. acidification of the oceans.
  2613.  
  2614. 542
  2615. 00:48:41,070 --> 00:48:44,190
  2616. Kelp creates a so-called halo effect
  2617.  
  2618. 543
  2619. 00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:50,446
  2620. - which reduces acidification.
  2621. Then oysters and other seafood
  2622.  
  2623. 544
  2624. 00:48:50,496 --> 00:48:56,477
  2625. - easier to get thicker shells
  2626. which protects better against acidification.
  2627.  
  2628. 545
  2629. 00:48:57,503 --> 00:49:03,501
  2630. Some said that climate change
  2631. would take a hundred years.
  2632.  
  2633. 546
  2634. 00:49:03,551 --> 00:49:05,086
  2635. But it happens here and now.
  2636.  
  2637. 547
  2638. 00:49:05,136 --> 00:49:09,132
  2639. As a fisherman we are lucky to be able to
  2640. move to something similar.
  2641.  
  2642. 548
  2643. 00:49:09,182 --> 00:49:12,760
  2644. I'm proud to help
  2645. to arrange food for my country.
  2646.  
  2647. 549
  2648. 00:49:12,810 --> 00:49:19,083
  2649. Maybe I'm part of that army
  2650. who will save the planet.
  2651.  
  2652. 550
  2653. 00:49:30,661 --> 00:49:36,242
  2654. If we send out ten large units
  2655. CO2 in the atmosphere.
  2656.  
  2657. 551
  2658. 00:49:36,292 --> 00:49:38,494
  2659. -And about stay there.
  2660.  
  2661. 552
  2662. 00:49:38,544 --> 00:49:43,041
  2663. 2.5 of them end up in plants
  2664. and 2.5 ports in the sea.
  2665.  
  2666. 553
  2667. 00:49:43,091 --> 00:49:47,128
  2668. If the sea is acidified,
  2669. what do you do about it?
  2670.  
  2671. 554
  2672. 00:49:47,178 --> 00:49:51,758
  2673. Nature takes care of the problem
  2674. by making more seafood.
  2675.  
  2676. 555
  2677. 00:49:51,808 --> 00:49:56,387
  2678. It is the theory of marine snow,
  2679. that small animals grow in the water
  2680.  
  2681. 556
  2682. 00:49:56,437 --> 00:49:59,766
  2683. - They have calcium shells
  2684. falling down.
  2685.  
  2686. 557
  2687. 00:49:59,816 --> 00:50:05,772
  2688. The problem is that the planet wants it
  2689. a perspective of millions of years.
  2690.  
  2691. 558
  2692. 00:50:05,822 --> 00:50:08,066
  2693. We don't.
  2694.  
  2695. 559
  2696. 00:50:08,116 --> 00:50:12,636
  2697. So the question is if you can
  2698. speed up the process?
  2699.  
  2700. 560
  2701. 00:50:17,542 --> 00:50:20,703
  2702. We need to examine all options.
  2703.  
  2704. 561
  2705. 00:50:20,753 --> 00:50:25,249
  2706. There is more experimental
  2707. hypotheses that need to be tested.
  2708.  
  2709. 562
  2710. 00:50:25,299 --> 00:50:32,948
  2711. A solution can be found in it
  2712. microscopic life cycle marine snow.
  2713.  
  2714. 563
  2715. 00:50:34,225 --> 00:50:37,178
  2716. What do we need?
  2717.  
  2718. 564
  2719. 00:50:37,228 --> 00:50:40,890
  2720. We need this planet
  2721. as it was before.
  2722.  
  2723. 565
  2724. 00:50:40,940 --> 00:50:45,520
  2725. We must regain it in that condition
  2726. It was 200 years ago.
  2727.  
  2728. 566
  2729. 00:50:45,570 --> 00:50:51,359
  2730. Higher levels of CO2
  2731. increases the acidification of the oceans.
  2732.  
  2733. 567
  2734. 00:50:51,409 --> 00:50:56,739
  2735. The garden then loses its ability
  2736. to suck up coal from the atmosphere.
  2737.  
  2738. 568
  2739. 00:50:56,789 --> 00:50:59,617
  2740. We have to do something about it.
  2741.  
  2742. 569
  2743. 00:50:59,667 --> 00:51:05,164
  2744. We must help those systems
  2745. circulating carbon
  2746.  
  2747. 570
  2748. 00:51:05,214 --> 00:51:11,963
  2749. - between the atmosphere,
  2750. the plants on land and seas.
  2751.  
  2752. 571
  2753. 00:51:12,013 --> 00:51:18,619
  2754. And with marine snow
  2755. just need some help from us.
  2756.  
  2757. 572
  2758. 00:51:19,353 --> 00:51:26,144
  2759. The most important thing is to remove CO2
  2760. and produce oxygen.
  2761.  
  2762. 573
  2763. 00:51:26,194 --> 00:51:31,941
  2764. What we can do is
  2765. to add minimal amounts
  2766.  
  2767. 574
  2768. 00:51:31,991 --> 00:51:36,404
  2769. - iron in the seas. Very little.
  2770.  
  2771. 575
  2772. 00:51:36,454 --> 00:51:41,325
  2773. It has nothing to do
  2774. with the term fertilizer.
  2775.  
  2776. 576
  2777. 00:51:41,375 --> 00:51:46,205
  2778. To give you an idea
  2779. just need six kilos of iron
  2780.  
  2781. 577
  2782. 00:51:46,255 --> 00:51:52,295
  2783. - to start the process in
  2784. 100,000 square kilometers of the sea.
  2785.  
  2786. 578
  2787. 00:51:52,345 --> 00:51:55,381
  2788. The cells create
  2789. an organic parent tissue
  2790.  
  2791. 579
  2792. 00:51:55,431 --> 00:52:01,512
  2793. - Which is why
  2794. the design of marine snow.
  2795.  
  2796. 580
  2797. 00:52:01,562 --> 00:52:05,099
  2798. When the mother tissue arises-
  2799.  
  2800. 581
  2801. 00:52:05,149 --> 00:52:10,063
  2802. - it attracts cyanobacteria
  2803. and heterotrophic bacteria
  2804.  
  2805. 582
  2806. 00:52:10,113 --> 00:52:14,008
  2807. - which colonizes the particles
  2808. and then actively growing.
  2809.  
  2810. 583
  2811. 00:52:15,118 --> 00:52:18,112
  2812. Then we let them take care of themselves -
  2813.  
  2814. 584
  2815. 00:52:18,162 --> 00:52:24,660
  2816. - Because they can take
  2817. very long time.
  2818.  
  2819. 585
  2820. 00:52:24,710 --> 00:52:29,356
  2821. We can trace the marine snow particles
  2822. for more than four months.
  2823.  
  2824. 586
  2825. 00:52:30,049 --> 00:52:34,128
  2826. They can float around and
  2827. suck organic matter
  2828.  
  2829. 587
  2830. 00:52:34,178 --> 00:52:40,075
  2831. - and when they get too heavy
  2832. they sink to the bottom of the sea.
  2833.  
  2834. 588
  2835. 00:52:42,228 --> 00:52:48,226
  2836. Speed of change,
  2837. increased levels and temperatures
  2838.  
  2839. 589
  2840. 00:52:48,276 --> 00:52:51,979
  2841. - make sure we have to act while we can.
  2842.  
  2843. 590
  2844. 00:52:52,229 --> 00:52:57,652
  2845. I'm absolutely sure
  2846. that we can succeed with ...
  2847.  
  2848. 591
  2849. 00:52:57,702 --> 00:53:05,142
  2850. ... to get man to cooperate
  2851. with nature, do not oppose it.
  2852.  
  2853. 592
  2854. 00:53:14,427 --> 00:53:19,340
  2855. Science has long been proven
  2856. that we have technology that works.
  2857.  
  2858. 593
  2859. 00:53:19,390 --> 00:53:22,176
  2860. -and that it's already used.
  2861.  
  2862. 594
  2863. 00:53:22,226 --> 00:53:26,139
  2864. It's just a matter of
  2865. political will and size.
  2866.  
  2867. 595
  2868. 00:53:26,189 --> 00:53:31,269
  2869. We need a lot of solutions
  2870. going forward in parallel.
  2871.  
  2872. 596
  2873. 00:53:31,319 --> 00:53:33,521
  2874. To solve the crisis
  2875.  
  2876. 597
  2877. 00:53:33,571 --> 00:53:38,843
  2878. - We need to move on
  2879. one hundred percent renewable energy now.
  2880.  
  2881. 598
  2882. 00:53:39,577 --> 00:53:46,225
  2883. Of the top five solutions ended up
  2884. coastal wind power in second place.
  2885.  
  2886. 599
  2887. 00:53:47,543 --> 00:53:52,874
  2888. COASTAL WIND POWER PLANT
  2889. ORKNEY ISLANDS, SCOTLAND
  2890.  
  2891. 600
  2892. 00:53:52,924 --> 00:53:59,447
  2893. Wind power is more efficient than solar power,
  2894. which was a surprise.
  2895.  
  2896. 601
  2897. 00:54:03,601 --> 00:54:07,913
  2898. Solar power will be in place eight out of ten.
  2899.  
  2900. 602
  2901. 00:54:11,609 --> 00:54:17,398
  2902. The sun is the largest resource we have.
  2903. Everything else fades in comparison.
  2904.  
  2905. 603
  2906. 00:54:17,448 --> 00:54:20,568
  2907. We've known that for a long time,
  2908. but we have never been able to
  2909.  
  2910. 604
  2911. 00:54:20,618 --> 00:54:23,905
  2912. - extract it economically.
  2913. It has changed now.
  2914.  
  2915. 605
  2916. 00:54:23,955 --> 00:54:28,659
  2917. Solar energy is already cheaper
  2918. than fossil fuels.
  2919.  
  2920. 606
  2921. 00:54:28,709 --> 00:54:33,373
  2922. Already installed in the 80s
  2923. Jimmy Carter solar cells at the White House.
  2924.  
  2925. 607
  2926. 00:54:33,423 --> 00:54:35,875
  2927. Then Reagan took them away.
  2928.  
  2929. 608
  2930. 00:54:35,925 --> 00:54:42,131
  2931. Not until 2001, when Germany
  2932. started with solar energy in larger scale
  2933.  
  2934. 609
  2935. 00:54:42,181 --> 00:54:45,927
  2936. - we could start to benefit from
  2937. economy in large scale.
  2938.  
  2939. 610
  2940. 00:54:45,977 --> 00:54:52,517
  2941. In the end, we can provide the whole
  2942. electricity grid with solar and wind power.
  2943.  
  2944. 611
  2945. 00:54:52,567 --> 00:54:57,463
  2946. We just need it
  2947. be able to store wind and sun.
  2948.  
  2949. 612
  2950. 00:54:59,157 --> 00:55:02,735
  2951. If you want to cater for the whole
  2952. US electricity demand with solar cell alone
  2953.  
  2954. 613
  2955. 00:55:02,785 --> 00:55:06,114
  2956. - we would need a surface on
  2957. 77,700 square kilometers.
  2958.  
  2959. 614
  2960. 00:55:06,164 --> 00:55:12,728
  2961. The energy from there would suffice
  2962. electricity networks in all states throughout the United States.
  2963.  
  2964. 615
  2965. 00:55:15,173 --> 00:55:19,752
  2966. Mount Signal is a project that provides
  2967. electricity to 70,000 households in San Diego.
  2968.  
  2969. 616
  2970. 00:55:19,802 --> 00:55:25,574
  2971. The second phase of the energy will
  2972. sent to Southern California.
  2973.  
  2974. 617
  2975. 00:55:27,018 --> 00:55:32,849
  2976. The cost of electricity from Mount Signal
  2977. is lower than electricity from fossil fuels.
  2978.  
  2979. 618
  2980. 00:55:32,899 --> 00:55:38,421
  2981. The cost is also
  2982. safe for use.
  2983.  
  2984. 619
  2985. 00:55:39,238 --> 00:55:42,608
  2986. The price is fixed
  2987. the next 25 years.
  2988.  
  2989. 620
  2990. 00:55:42,658 --> 00:55:47,972
  2991. It is not offered
  2992. from fossil energy sources.
  2993.  
  2994. 621
  2995. 00:55:48,664 --> 00:55:51,951
  2996. We have already integrated
  2997. much solar power in California.
  2998.  
  2999. 622
  3000. 00:55:52,001 --> 00:55:54,662
  3001. Ten years ago, people said
  3002. that it was impossible-
  3003.  
  3004. 623
  3005. 00:55:54,712 --> 00:56:00,543
  3006. - but today solar energy already covers
  3007. up to 25% of California's needs.
  3008.  
  3009. 624
  3010. 00:56:00,593 --> 00:56:06,174
  3011. Taxpayers got none
  3012. increased costs and everything works.
  3013.  
  3014. 625
  3015. 00:56:06,224 --> 00:56:10,286
  3016. And we got reduced
  3017. carbon emissions in the purchase.
  3018.  
  3019. 626
  3020. 00:56:15,483 --> 00:56:20,355
  3021. Lately, state works
  3022. offered to buy solar cells.
  3023.  
  3024. 627
  3025. 00:56:20,405 --> 00:56:23,566
  3026. The attitude is changing.
  3027.  
  3028. 628
  3029. 00:56:23,616 --> 00:56:27,070
  3030. We still underestimate
  3031. the value of solar cells.
  3032.  
  3033. 629
  3034. 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:32,658
  3035. People do not know that in five years
  3036. are the solar cells much cheaper-
  3037.  
  3038. 630
  3039. 00:56:32,708 --> 00:56:35,661
  3040. -and can be used at night.
  3041.  
  3042. 631
  3043. 00:56:35,711 --> 00:56:37,872
  3044. In combination with wind power
  3045.  
  3046. 632
  3047. 00:56:37,922 --> 00:56:41,417
  3048. - we can live in an environment with
  3049. 100 percent renewable energy.
  3050.  
  3051. 633
  3052. 00:56:41,467 --> 00:56:46,422
  3053. It is fully feasible.
  3054. No new inventions are required.
  3055.  
  3056. 634
  3057. 00:56:46,472 --> 00:56:48,341
  3058. We already have the technology.
  3059.  
  3060. 635
  3061. 00:56:48,391 --> 00:56:53,346
  3062. We just have to make sure
  3063. that those responsible for
  3064.  
  3065. 636
  3066. 00:56:53,396 --> 00:56:57,100
  3067. - planning of
  3068. resource use and infrastructure
  3069.  
  3070. 637
  3071. 00:56:57,150 --> 00:57:03,923
  3072. - Understands this technology
  3073. becomes cheaper over time.
  3074.  
  3075. 638
  3076. 00:57:08,244 --> 00:57:13,783
  3077. The coal is coming back.
  3078. Clean coal, 100 percent.
  3079.  
  3080. 639
  3081. 00:57:13,833 --> 00:57:18,162
  3082. My government is stopping
  3083. for the war against the coal.
  3084.  
  3085. 640
  3086. 00:57:18,212 --> 00:57:22,858
  3087. We should have clean coal. Really clean.
  3088.  
  3089. 641
  3090. 00:57:24,719 --> 00:57:27,255
  3091. Think Progress:
  3092. Clean energy employs multiple
  3093.  
  3094. 642
  3095. 00:57:27,305 --> 00:57:30,783
  3096. - than fossil fuels do,
  3097. in almost all states
  3098.  
  3099. 643
  3100. 00:57:32,018 --> 00:57:33,511
  3101. The Independent:
  3102.  
  3103. 644
  3104. 00:57:33,561 --> 00:57:37,390
  3105. World-leading carbon company closes
  3106. 37 mines when solar prices fall
  3107.  
  3108. 645
  3109. 00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,583
  3110. Fossil producers under pressure
  3111.  
  3112. 646
  3113. 00:57:41,486 --> 00:57:46,357
  3114. Solar energy beats its own record
  3115. with the cheapest electricity-
  3116.  
  3117. 647
  3118. 00:57:46,407 --> 00:57:51,029
  3119. - "compared with
  3120. all other technologies ever "
  3121.  
  3122. 648
  3123. 00:57:51,779 --> 00:57:54,657
  3124. It can be difficult to communicate
  3125. science to the public.
  3126.  
  3127. 649
  3128. 00:57:54,707 --> 00:57:57,452
  3129. Today, we assume the challenge
  3130.  
  3131. 650
  3132. 00:57:57,502 --> 00:58:03,124
  3133. - and adds an extra
  3134. effort behind.
  3135.  
  3136. 651
  3137. 00:58:03,174 --> 00:58:07,003
  3138. Interest groups funded
  3139. of fossil fuel operators
  3140.  
  3141. 652
  3142. 00:58:07,553 --> 00:58:09,630
  3143. -designs climate discussion-
  3144.  
  3145. 653
  3146. 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:13,009
  3147. - to confuse the public
  3148. and the decision makers.
  3149.  
  3150. 654
  3151. 00:58:13,559 --> 00:58:15,261
  3152. We must transform the entire energy sector -
  3153.  
  3154. 655
  3155. 00:58:15,311 --> 00:58:18,973
  3156. - quit fossil fuels
  3157. and switch to renewable energy.
  3158.  
  3159. 656
  3160. 00:58:19,023 --> 00:58:24,020
  3161. But it gets pretty awkward
  3162. for the powerful fossil industry
  3163.  
  3164. 657
  3165. 00:58:24,070 --> 00:58:29,233
  3166. - who have invested millions of dollars
  3167. in creating a dependency on them.
  3168.  
  3169. 658
  3170. 00:58:29,283 --> 00:58:32,528
  3171. They have struggled hard
  3172. to maintain that dependency.
  3173.  
  3174. 661
  3175. 00:58:45,341 --> 00:58:48,294
  3176. We are often asked how we can know
  3177.  
  3178. 662
  3179. 00:58:48,344 --> 00:58:52,298
  3180. - that the increased CO2 level in the atmosphere
  3181. depends on human activity.
  3182.  
  3183. 663
  3184. 00:58:52,348 --> 00:58:57,203
  3185. The answer is that we leave climate footprints
  3186. after us, around the atmosphere.
  3187.  
  3188. 664
  3189. 00:58:58,771 --> 00:59:05,436
  3190. One such imprint is called carbon-14,
  3191. or radioactive carbon.
  3192.  
  3193. 665
  3194. 00:59:05,486 --> 00:59:11,109
  3195. When we burn coal, oil and gas
  3196. we leave an imprint in the atmosphere
  3197.  
  3198. 666
  3199. 00:59:11,159 --> 00:59:15,947
  3200. -of what we call negative carbon-14.
  3201.  
  3202. 667
  3203. 00:59:15,997 --> 00:59:20,451
  3204. Because fossil fuels are so old
  3205. there is no carbon 14 left anymore.
  3206.  
  3207. 668
  3208. 00:59:20,501 --> 00:59:25,456
  3209. We can specify the quantity with precision
  3210. fossil fuels we consume
  3211.  
  3212. 669
  3213. 00:59:25,506 --> 00:59:27,917
  3214. - by measuring C-14 in the atmosphere.
  3215.  
  3216. 670
  3217. 00:59:27,967 --> 00:59:33,322
  3218. It is nature's own verification
  3219. systems we use.
  3220.  
  3221. 671
  3222. 00:59:36,350 --> 00:59:40,888
  3223. They have convinced enough
  3224. and have enough
  3225.  
  3226. 672
  3227. 00:59:40,938 --> 00:59:45,643
  3228. - to make it even more difficult
  3229. than it was before
  3230.  
  3231. 673
  3232. 00:59:45,693 --> 00:59:49,272
  3233. - to address climate change.
  3234. It's so depressing.
  3235.  
  3236. 674
  3237. 00:59:49,322 --> 00:59:55,653
  3238. The agenda of many of them
  3239. fossil fuel companies
  3240.  
  3241. 675
  3242. 00:59:55,703 --> 01:00:01,034
  3243. - is malicious in view of
  3244. the devastation that affects our planet.
  3245.  
  3246. 677
  3247. 01:00:08,466 --> 01:00:12,754
  3248. I think parts of it
  3249. well-financed climate denial
  3250.  
  3251. 678
  3252. 01:00:12,804 --> 01:00:15,631
  3253. - performed by people
  3254. who really know better-
  3255.  
  3256. 679
  3257. 01:00:15,681 --> 01:00:20,703
  3258. - is a crime against humanity.
  3259. They should be brought to justice in The Hague.
  3260.  
  3261. 680
  3262. 01:00:29,153 --> 01:00:32,940
  3263. While the climate deniers
  3264. has managed to delay the action -
  3265.  
  3266. 681
  3267. 01:00:32,990 --> 01:00:36,319
  3268. - has a lot more ominous
  3269. problem appeared.
  3270.  
  3271. 682
  3272. 01:00:36,369 --> 01:00:43,368
  3273. Recently, researchers have seen elevated levels
  3274. levels of methane in the atmosphere.
  3275.  
  3276. 683
  3277. 01:00:43,418 --> 01:00:46,788
  3278. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas
  3279.  
  3280. 684
  3281. 01:00:46,838 --> 01:00:50,958
  3282. - with the potential to enhance
  3283. further temperatures.
  3284.  
  3285. 685
  3286. 01:00:51,008 --> 01:00:56,089
  3287. An increase in methane suggests
  3288. that we are approaching a critical point.
  3289.  
  3290. 686
  3291. 01:00:56,139 --> 01:00:58,132
  3292. But where does the gas come from?
  3293.  
  3294. 687
  3295. 01:00:58,182 --> 01:01:02,512
  3296. And how much does it accelerate
  3297. climate disruption?
  3298.  
  3299. 688
  3300. 01:01:02,562 --> 01:01:05,289
  3301. The researchers are stressing
  3302. to find out.
  3303.  
  3304. 689
  3305. 01:01:11,362 --> 01:01:15,817
  3306. This is the University of Wyomings
  3307. mobile laboratory.
  3308.  
  3309. 690
  3310. 01:01:15,867 --> 01:01:21,989
  3311. Here are instruments that measure
  3312. what is in the air we breathe now.
  3313.  
  3314. 691
  3315. 01:01:22,039 --> 01:01:27,912
  3316. That way we can track
  3317. emissions and gases
  3318.  
  3319. 692
  3320. 01:01:27,962 --> 01:01:31,999
  3321. - and find out
  3322. were the sources of the emissions
  3323.  
  3324. 693
  3325. 01:01:32,049 --> 01:01:35,653
  3326. - And what leads to
  3327. elevated methane levels.
  3328.  
  3329. 694
  3330. 01:01:38,181 --> 01:01:40,466
  3331. Inside the lab
  3332. There are a couple of instruments.
  3333.  
  3334. 695
  3335. 01:01:40,516 --> 01:01:44,220
  3336. Here is a Proton Transfer Reaction
  3337. Time of Flight Mass Spec.
  3338.  
  3339. 696
  3340. 01:01:44,270 --> 01:01:48,307
  3341. It measures volatile organic matter
  3342. such as benzene and toluene.
  3343.  
  3344. 697
  3345. 01:01:48,357 --> 01:01:53,563
  3346. Here is a Picarro Cavity Ring-Down
  3347. that measures the methane concentration.
  3348.  
  3349. 698
  3350. 01:01:53,613 --> 01:01:57,775
  3351. We can read all the data
  3352. from real-time instruments
  3353.  
  3354. 699
  3355. 01:01:57,825 --> 01:02:04,240
  3356. - thanks to an intake on top of the car
  3357. that draws in air to the instruments.
  3358.  
  3359. 700
  3360. 01:02:04,290 --> 01:02:09,912
  3361. After the measurements we arrived
  3362. that we have more methane sources
  3363.  
  3364. 701
  3365. 01:02:09,962 --> 01:02:14,500
  3366. - in areas where we extract the gas,
  3367. than we had expected.
  3368.  
  3369. 702
  3370. 01:02:14,550 --> 01:02:17,795
  3371. To be able to specify
  3372. where the methane leaks are-
  3373.  
  3374. 703
  3375. 01:02:17,845 --> 01:02:20,798
  3376. - one must be near the sources.
  3377.  
  3378. 704
  3379. 01:02:20,848 --> 01:02:26,120
  3380. The mobile lab helps us
  3381. to locate the largest leaks.
  3382.  
  3383. 705
  3384. 01:02:27,647 --> 01:02:31,059
  3385. The company has opened
  3386. a brand new facility.
  3387.  
  3388. 706
  3389. 01:02:31,109 --> 01:02:36,898
  3390. 22 new gas sources have been drilled
  3391. in the middle of the settlement in Western Greeley.
  3392.  
  3393. 707
  3394. 01:02:36,948 --> 01:02:41,385
  3395. The facility has been controversial,
  3396. regarding size and location.
  3397.  
  3398. 708
  3399. 01:02:46,374 --> 01:02:52,622
  3400. It is said that society does not have
  3401. been able to keep up with what is going on there.
  3402.  
  3403. 709
  3404. 01:02:52,672 --> 01:02:55,375
  3405. A high sound level surrounds the business-
  3406.  
  3407. 710
  3408. 01:02:55,425 --> 01:03:01,172
  3409. - And the state probably doesn't do its best
  3410. to facilitate communication.
  3411.  
  3412. 711
  3413. 01:03:01,222 --> 01:03:06,511
  3414. We saw a lot of flames,
  3415. which indicates large volumes of gas.
  3416.  
  3417. 712
  3418. 01:03:06,561 --> 01:03:11,349
  3419. The yellow color of the flame shows
  3420. that it is not full combustion.
  3421.  
  3422. 713
  3423. 01:03:11,399 --> 01:03:15,311
  3424. We shall continue to investigate the sources
  3425.  
  3426. 715
  3427. 01:03:20,074 --> 01:03:24,612
  3428. Some oil and gas producing
  3429. regions have such a large
  3430.  
  3431. 716
  3432. 01:03:24,662 --> 01:03:28,825
  3433. - concentration of methane in the air
  3434. that it is visible from space.
  3435.  
  3436. 717
  3437. 01:03:28,875 --> 01:03:34,080
  3438. It happened a few years ago
  3439. in the region of the four corners.
  3440.  
  3441. 718
  3442. 01:03:34,130 --> 01:03:38,376
  3443. That's the key for us
  3444. when to find out
  3445.  
  3446. 720
  3447. 01:03:53,524 --> 01:03:59,731
  3448. In 2014, NASA researchers identified
  3449. in collaboration with NOAA-
  3450.  
  3451. 721
  3452. 01:03:59,781 --> 01:04:03,151
  3453. - University of Michigan
  3454. and other researchers
  3455.  
  3456. 722
  3457. 01:04:03,201 --> 01:04:08,197
  3458. - a methane cloud like Delaware
  3459. in the region of the four corners.
  3460.  
  3461. 723
  3462. 01:04:08,247 --> 01:04:14,871
  3463. It is the largest accumulation
  3464. methane gas throughout the United States.
  3465.  
  3466. 724
  3467. 01:04:14,921 --> 01:04:19,876
  3468. This ranch, where we are now,
  3469. is the approximate zero point.
  3470.  
  3471. 725
  3472. 01:04:19,926 --> 01:04:26,007
  3473. If you could find the midpoint
  3474. on the Delaware-shaped cloud
  3475.  
  3476. 726
  3477. 01:04:26,557 --> 01:04:28,426
  3478. - It would very well
  3479. be here.
  3480.  
  3481. 727
  3482. 01:04:28,476 --> 01:04:32,930
  3483. One has been identified
  3484. that the cause of methane cloud
  3485.  
  3486. 728
  3487. 01:04:32,980 --> 01:04:38,728
  3488. - mainly emissions
  3489. in connection with drilling
  3490.  
  3491. 729
  3492. 01:04:38,778 --> 01:04:43,340
  3493. - as well as emissions from coal
  3494. and other fossil fuels.
  3495.  
  3496. 730
  3497. 01:04:45,368 --> 01:04:51,991
  3498. The methane cloud was identified by
  3499. the technology that NOAA and NASA had
  3500.  
  3501. 731
  3502. 01:04:52,041 --> 01:04:54,994
  3503. - due
  3504. FLIR camera arrival.
  3505.  
  3506. 732
  3507. 01:04:55,044 --> 01:05:01,167
  3508. There are infrared cameras that look
  3509. leaks, emissions and flames
  3510.  
  3511. 733
  3512. 01:05:01,217 --> 01:05:03,753
  3513. - which causes the methane cloud to grow.
  3514.  
  3515. 734
  3516. 01:05:03,803 --> 01:05:10,134
  3517. You have to see the whole picture.
  3518. It has been at least 60 years
  3519.  
  3520. 735
  3521. 01:05:10,184 --> 01:05:17,308
  3522. - of leaks, emissions and burning
  3523. here in the San Jaun sink.
  3524.  
  3525. 736
  3526. 01:05:17,358 --> 01:05:23,815
  3527. Over 30,000 sources
  3528. has got methane cloud
  3529.  
  3530. 737
  3531. 01:05:23,865 --> 01:05:27,694
  3532. - to accumulate
  3533. and provide evidence for
  3534.  
  3535. 738
  3536. 01:05:27,744 --> 01:05:33,032
  3537. - what drilling for natural gas
  3538. leads to ultimately.
  3539.  
  3540. 739
  3541. 01:05:33,082 --> 01:05:38,496
  3542. People do not know common sources
  3543. has created methane cloud
  3544.  
  3545. 740
  3546. 01:05:38,546 --> 01:05:42,024
  3547. - and that they themselves daily
  3548. have been accomplices.
  3549.  
  3550. 741
  3551. 01:05:46,512 --> 01:05:51,718
  3552. This is a common gas source.
  3553. This equipment is available
  3554.  
  3555. 742
  3556. 01:05:51,768 --> 01:05:55,930
  3557. - throughout the San Juan sink
  3558. and on many other gas fields in the United States.
  3559.  
  3560. 743
  3561. 01:05:55,980 --> 01:06:00,351
  3562. This leaks considerably from the standard
  3563. parts on it.
  3564.  
  3565. 744
  3566. 01:06:00,401 --> 01:06:06,816
  3567. All that is needed here is
  3568. a wrench and a little teflon tape.
  3569.  
  3570. 745
  3571. 01:06:06,866 --> 01:06:09,318
  3572. A little review would fix the leak.
  3573.  
  3574. 746
  3575. 01:06:09,368 --> 01:06:16,784
  3576. I wish I could ask
  3577. investors in gas and oil here
  3578.  
  3579. 747
  3580. 01:06:16,834 --> 01:06:20,288
  3581. - where I stand
  3582. and let them see that leak.
  3583.  
  3584. 748
  3585. 01:06:20,338 --> 01:06:24,292
  3586. Let them multiply it
  3587. with 18,000 in the San Juan sink
  3588.  
  3589. 749
  3590. 01:06:24,342 --> 01:06:28,546
  3591. - and make them stop obstructing
  3592. a federal rule
  3593.  
  3594. 750
  3595. 01:06:28,596 --> 01:06:32,550
  3596. - protect my family,
  3597. protect taxpayers in New Mexico
  3598.  
  3599. 751
  3600. 01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:37,680
  3601. - and offer fair and equal
  3602. protection in all states.
  3603.  
  3604. 752
  3605. 01:06:37,730 --> 01:06:42,185
  3606. Get them out of the boardroom
  3607. and come here-
  3608.  
  3609. 753
  3610. 01:06:42,235 --> 01:06:45,938
  3611. - and let them look at the leak
  3612. which is so easy to cook.
  3613.  
  3614. 754
  3615. 01:06:45,988 --> 01:06:50,276
  3616. When I was told
  3617. that environmental manager Scott Pruitt-
  3618.  
  3619. 755
  3620. 01:06:50,326 --> 01:06:54,030
  3621. - knew that there were facts
  3622.  
  3623. 756
  3624. 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:57,700
  3625. - that strengthened methane and
  3626. other leaking chemicals
  3627.  
  3628. 757
  3629. 01:06:57,750 --> 01:07:01,788
  3630. - are more harmful to children
  3631. than they are for me.
  3632.  
  3633. 758
  3634. 01:07:01,838 --> 01:07:08,544
  3635. Then I became so angry that he wanted
  3636. prevent federal protection for us.
  3637.  
  3638. 759
  3639. 01:07:08,594 --> 01:07:15,218
  3640. If anyone came to my ranch
  3641. with intent to harm my child
  3642.  
  3643. 760
  3644. 01:07:15,268 --> 01:07:17,995
  3645. -It would be over my dead body.
  3646.  
  3647. 761
  3648. 01:07:31,492 --> 01:07:38,324
  3649. 250 million years ago became one
  3650. secondary effect of methane emissions
  3651.  
  3652. 762
  3653. 01:07:38,374 --> 01:07:42,912
  3654. - that much of life
  3655. on the ground died out.
  3656.  
  3657. 763
  3658. 01:07:42,962 --> 01:07:46,249
  3659. Now it is discussed around
  3660. the methane found in the Arctic
  3661.  
  3662. 764
  3663. 01:07:46,299 --> 01:07:50,378
  3664. - in the permafrost or in the sea of the world.
  3665.  
  3666. 765
  3667. 01:07:50,428 --> 01:07:57,868
  3668. How fast can methane be mobilized
  3669. and how destructive it becomes?
  3670.  
  3671. 766
  3672. 01:07:58,603 --> 01:08:04,767
  3673. Release of ancient methane
  3674. can lead to even more warming.
  3675.  
  3676. 767
  3677. 01:08:04,817 --> 01:08:08,730
  3678. Will the methane be created
  3679. an apocalyptic scenario?
  3680.  
  3681. 768
  3682. 01:08:08,780 --> 01:08:13,651
  3683. It's a question that researchers have
  3684. desperately trying to answer.
  3685.  
  3686. 769
  3687. 01:08:13,701 --> 01:08:18,531
  3688. I am the head of the Center for Gas
  3689. Hydrate, Environment & Climate.
  3690.  
  3691. 770
  3692. 01:08:18,581 --> 01:08:23,036
  3693. We are a team with 50-60 researchers
  3694. who works to understand us-
  3695.  
  3696. 771
  3697. 01:08:23,086 --> 01:08:27,498
  3698. - what impact methane has on
  3699. the global climate system.
  3700.  
  3701. 772
  3702. 01:08:27,548 --> 01:08:33,838
  3703. Methane is stored below
  3704. The bottom of the Arctic Ocean
  3705.  
  3706. 773
  3707. 01:08:33,888 --> 01:08:38,926
  3708. - in places we sometimes know,
  3709. but we usually don't know much about them.
  3710.  
  3711. 774
  3712. 01:08:38,976 --> 01:08:45,975
  3713. We apply geophysical methods
  3714. to quantify the reservoirs
  3715.  
  3716. 775
  3717. 01:08:46,025 --> 01:08:51,797
  3718. - and to see how stable
  3719. The methane hydrates are today and later.
  3720.  
  3721. 777
  3722. 01:08:57,912 --> 01:09:01,532
  3723. Fortunately, methane has a short lifetime.
  3724.  
  3725. 778
  3726. 01:09:01,582 --> 01:09:07,455
  3727. The earth has a natural system
  3728. which regulates the supply of methane
  3729.  
  3730. 779
  3731. 01:09:07,505 --> 01:09:10,291
  3732. -from the garden and out into the atmosphere.
  3733.  
  3734. 780
  3735. 01:09:10,341 --> 01:09:13,169
  3736. The system works quite well
  3737.  
  3738. 781
  3739. 01:09:13,219 --> 01:09:17,673
  3740. - but it changes,
  3741. because the ocean currents change
  3742.  
  3743. 782
  3744. 01:09:17,723 --> 01:09:22,762
  3745. - just like the garden temperature
  3746. and the garden chemistry is changing.
  3747.  
  3748. 783
  3749. 01:09:22,812 --> 01:09:26,808
  3750. The methane was
  3751. in a kind of equilibrium mode
  3752.  
  3753. 784
  3754. 01:09:26,858 --> 01:09:32,438
  3755. - but in recent years
  3756. we have seen a large increase in methane.
  3757.  
  3758. 785
  3759. 01:09:32,488 --> 01:09:35,274
  3760. We don't know where it comes from.
  3761.  
  3762. 786
  3763. 01:09:35,324 --> 01:09:40,780
  3764. Of course it puts it
  3765. pressure on science
  3766.  
  3767. 787
  3768. 01:09:40,830 --> 01:09:45,868
  3769. - to give politicians an answer regarding
  3770. methane in the atmosphere.
  3771.  
  3772. 788
  3773. 01:09:45,918 --> 01:09:51,874
  3774. Where does the methane come from?
  3775. What else becomes unstable at present?
  3776.  
  3777. 789
  3778. 01:09:51,924 --> 01:09:56,421
  3779. We have presented some clear
  3780. campaigns where we have measured
  3781.  
  3782. 790
  3783. 01:09:56,471 --> 01:10:02,844
  3784. - by the seabed, in the sea,
  3785. at the sea surface and in the air,
  3786.  
  3787. 791
  3788. 01:10:02,894 --> 01:10:08,433
  3789. - to understand how methane is regulated
  3790. throughout the system.
  3791.  
  3792. 792
  3793. 01:10:08,483 --> 01:10:11,394
  3794. There is a lot
  3795. methane stored in the seabed.
  3796.  
  3797. 793
  3798. 01:10:11,444 --> 01:10:16,107
  3799. So much to the slightest change
  3800. can have an impact
  3801.  
  3802. 794
  3803. 01:10:16,157 --> 01:10:20,028
  3804. - on the ocean or the atmosphere.
  3805.  
  3806. 795
  3807. 01:10:20,078 --> 01:10:22,488
  3808. META MEASUREMENTS
  3809. IN NORWAY ISHAVET
  3810.  
  3811. 796
  3812. 01:10:22,538 --> 01:10:26,909
  3813. The balance here needs more focus
  3814. and more observations-
  3815.  
  3816. 797
  3817. 01:10:26,959 --> 01:10:33,524
  3818. - where you combine atmospheric,
  3819. sea and climate competence.
  3820.  
  3821. 798
  3822. 01:10:35,635 --> 01:10:41,424
  3823. In my profession I study
  3824. how methane seeps into the sea
  3825.  
  3826. 799
  3827. 01:10:41,474 --> 01:10:44,218
  3828. -In the Russian Sea and in the Barents Sea.
  3829.  
  3830. 800
  3831. 01:10:44,268 --> 01:10:47,680
  3832. It is simply gas bubbles
  3833. rising from the seabed.
  3834.  
  3835. 801
  3836. 01:10:47,730 --> 01:10:52,310
  3837. The bubbles consist mostly of methane gas.
  3838.  
  3839. 802
  3840. 01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:58,507
  3841. First we have gas hydrates
  3842. which is in solid form and similar to ice.
  3843.  
  3844. 803
  3845. 01:10:59,909 --> 01:11:04,305
  3846. The gas is also available in free form,
  3847. which becomes gas bubbles.
  3848.  
  3849. 804
  3850. 01:11:05,081 --> 01:11:07,533
  3851. The plumes of methane bubbles may vary.
  3852.  
  3853. 805
  3854. 01:11:07,583 --> 01:11:14,023
  3855. In some places
  3856. they can be 800-900 meters long.
  3857.  
  3858. 806
  3859. 01:11:15,716 --> 01:11:19,337
  3860. Depth in these areas
  3861. is just over 1,200 meters.
  3862.  
  3863. 807
  3864. 01:11:19,387 --> 01:11:25,051
  3865. In shallower water reaches
  3866. the bubbles almost up to the surface.
  3867.  
  3868. 808
  3869. 01:11:25,101 --> 01:11:29,555
  3870. The East Siberian Sea is definitely
  3871. interesting when studying methane
  3872.  
  3873. 809
  3874. 01:11:29,605 --> 01:11:31,599
  3875. -As it is so shallow there.
  3876.  
  3877. 810
  3878. 01:11:31,649 --> 01:11:37,355
  3879. There is a great chance to
  3880. the methane bubbles reach the surface.
  3881.  
  3882. 811
  3883. 01:11:37,405 --> 01:11:44,595
  3884. In some areas, such as Spetsbergen,
  3885. There is methane that almost reaches the surface.
  3886.  
  3887. 812
  3888. 01:11:50,877 --> 01:11:53,830
  3889. We've warmed up the atmosphere
  3890. so much -
  3891.  
  3892. 813
  3893. 01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:57,441
  3894. -We've started melting the Arctic.
  3895.  
  3896. 814
  3897. 01:11:58,134 --> 01:12:03,297
  3898. Potentially, we are facing
  3899. an abrupt climate scenario.
  3900.  
  3901. 815
  3902. 01:12:03,347 --> 01:12:07,844
  3903. Today's calculations show that we
  3904. passes the Paris agreement with raw
  3905.  
  3906. 816
  3907. 01:12:07,894 --> 01:12:10,430
  3908. up to five degrees and more.
  3909.  
  3910. 817
  3911. 01:12:10,480 --> 01:12:16,227
  3912. It triggers even more
  3913. disastrous events.
  3914.  
  3915. 818
  3916. 01:12:16,277 --> 01:12:21,607
  3917. The heating can lead to big ones
  3918. supplement of methane in the atmosphere.
  3919.  
  3920. 819
  3921. 01:12:21,657 --> 01:12:25,528
  3922. It should really worry us.
  3923.  
  3924. 820
  3925. 01:12:25,578 --> 01:12:29,824
  3926. I want to add that it is one
  3927. of many possible stressors.
  3928.  
  3929. 821
  3930. 01:12:29,874 --> 01:12:35,204
  3931. We are approaching a high-risk
  3932. situation where we lack experience.
  3933.  
  3934. 822
  3935. 01:12:35,254 --> 01:12:39,066
  3936. We don't know how
  3937. should deal with it.
  3938.  
  3939. 823
  3940. 01:12:43,971 --> 01:12:45,465
  3941. PERMAFROST:
  3942.  
  3943. 824
  3944. 01:12:45,515 --> 01:12:52,288
  3945. Land that has been constantly frozen
  3946. and containing methane and CO2
  3947.  
  3948. 825
  3949. 01:13:00,154 --> 01:13:04,942
  3950. Permafrost and methane
  3951. are great concerns.
  3952.  
  3953. 826
  3954. 01:13:04,992 --> 01:13:11,699
  3955. I think we should
  3956. be more attentive
  3957.  
  3958. 827
  3959. 01:13:11,749 --> 01:13:16,270
  3960. - on methane in general,
  3961. in relation to the climate problems.
  3962.  
  3963. 829
  3964. 01:13:24,554 --> 01:13:28,007
  3965. The risk is that you
  3966. passing the breakpoint
  3967.  
  3968. 830
  3969. 01:13:28,057 --> 01:13:33,496
  3970. - where it then becomes difficult
  3971. reverse the trend.
  3972.  
  3973. 831
  3974. 01:13:39,694 --> 01:13:42,730
  3975. PERMAFROST AREA
  3976. ALASKA
  3977.  
  3978. 832
  3979. 01:13:42,780 --> 01:13:45,733
  3980. There is a perfectly reasonable one
  3981. feedback mechanism.
  3982.  
  3983. 833
  3984. 01:13:45,783 --> 01:13:52,323
  3985. There are huge amounts in the permafrost
  3986. organic matter frozen.
  3987.  
  3988. 834
  3989. 01:13:52,373 --> 01:13:57,912
  3990. The amount potentially
  3991. can become CO2 and methane
  3992.  
  3993. 835
  3994. 01:13:57,962 --> 01:14:05,194
  3995. - can be four times bigger than everything
  3996. fossil fuel we have consumed.
  3997.  
  3998. 836
  3999. 01:14:08,681 --> 01:14:11,759
  4000. 30,000 year old methane
  4001. bubbles up from a frozen lake
  4002.  
  4003. 837
  4004. 01:14:11,809 --> 01:14:16,180
  4005. If we thaw up
  4006. all frozen material
  4007.  
  4008. 838
  4009. 01:14:16,230 --> 01:14:22,895
  4010. - the most likely emission of CO2 occurs
  4011. and methane gas in large scale
  4012.  
  4013. 840
  4014. 01:14:29,702 --> 01:14:32,947
  4015. I study methane emissions from lakes.
  4016.  
  4017. 841
  4018. 01:14:32,997 --> 01:14:39,353
  4019. We are in inner Alaska where we have
  4020. discontinuous permafrost.
  4021.  
  4022. 842
  4023. 01:14:40,171 --> 01:14:42,915
  4024. We look at microbial methane.
  4025.  
  4026. 843
  4027. 01:14:42,965 --> 01:14:48,087
  4028. The methane that bubbles behind me
  4029. comes from dead plants and animal
  4030.  
  4031. 844
  4032. 01:14:48,137 --> 01:14:51,966
  4033. - which was frozen into the permafrost
  4034. tens of thousands of years ago.
  4035.  
  4036. 845
  4037. 01:14:52,016 --> 01:14:54,010
  4038. As the permafrost tinar-
  4039.  
  4040. 846
  4041. 01:14:54,060 --> 01:14:59,623
  4042. - Eat the microbes in the soil
  4043. and make it methane.
  4044.  
  4045. 847
  4046. 01:15:01,025 --> 01:15:07,732
  4047. The thawing permafrost
  4048. fire on methane production.
  4049.  
  4050. 848
  4051. 01:15:07,782 --> 01:15:10,818
  4052. Then the methane disappears
  4053. up in the atmosphere
  4054.  
  4055. 851
  4056. 01:15:18,584 --> 01:15:23,081
  4057. What worries us is
  4058. that as the climate gets warmer-
  4059.  
  4060. 852
  4061. 01:15:23,131 --> 01:15:26,751
  4062. - at a faster pace
  4063. than the last 10,000 years
  4064.  
  4065. 854
  4066. 01:15:30,763 --> 01:15:34,300
  4067. - and let go
  4068. methane gas faster.
  4069.  
  4070. 856
  4071. 01:15:38,896 --> 01:15:41,682
  4072. Highly concentrated methane
  4073. is flammable
  4074.  
  4075. 857
  4076. 01:15:41,732 --> 01:15:44,769
  4077. - So if it's a flame
  4078. it is methane.
  4079.  
  4080. 859
  4081. 01:15:52,493 --> 01:15:58,408
  4082. Many new lakes have been formed as not
  4083. existed here 30 or 60 years ago.
  4084.  
  4085. 860
  4086. 01:15:58,458 --> 01:16:04,939
  4087. The lakes contain 10-100 times
  4088. more methane than the other lakes.
  4089.  
  4090. 861
  4091. 01:16:05,715 --> 01:16:09,919
  4092. They give a picture of the methane emissions
  4093. as we can expect-
  4094.  
  4095. 862
  4096. 01:16:09,969 --> 01:16:16,634
  4097. - the next 10 to 50 years
  4098. as the permafrost thaws.
  4099.  
  4100. 863
  4101. 01:16:16,684 --> 01:16:21,622
  4102. Then comes the permafrost feedback cycle
  4103. and it accelerates even more.
  4104.  
  4105. 864
  4106. 01:16:23,524 --> 01:16:26,978
  4107. Is it methane? Is it permafrost?
  4108.  
  4109. 865
  4110. 01:16:27,028 --> 01:16:31,816
  4111. Is it the organic coal in the seas
  4112. who suddenly move again?
  4113.  
  4114. 867
  4115. 01:16:35,578 --> 01:16:41,659
  4116. You have to ask about it
  4117. is there feedback in the system?
  4118.  
  4119. 868
  4120. 01:16:41,709 --> 01:16:43,953
  4121. The answer is yes.
  4122.  
  4123. 869
  4124. 01:16:44,003 --> 01:16:47,623
  4125. It is usually common sense
  4126.  
  4127. 870
  4128. 01:16:47,673 --> 01:16:51,694
  4129. - that the less you disturb the climate,
  4130. The better it will be.
  4131.  
  4132. 871
  4133. 01:17:03,898 --> 01:17:09,354
  4134. We have the solutions ready,
  4135. but the question still remains.
  4136.  
  4137. 872
  4138. 01:17:09,404 --> 01:17:14,925
  4139. We can mobilize and act
  4140. collectively before it is late?
  4141.  
  4142. 873
  4143. 01:17:15,618 --> 01:17:18,554
  4144. The will to do so
  4145. is not really there.
  4146.  
  4147. 874
  4148. 01:17:19,747 --> 01:17:24,994
  4149. The Paris Agreement says
  4150. that we must reduce carbon emissions
  4151.  
  4152. 875
  4153. 01:17:25,044 --> 01:17:28,664
  4154. - and keep the temperature
  4155. below a certain level
  4156.  
  4157. 876
  4158. 01:17:28,714 --> 01:17:32,860
  4159. - Although we won't
  4160. to do that.
  4161.  
  4162. 877
  4163. 01:17:34,011 --> 01:17:40,201
  4164. What can save us is technology
  4165. that sucks CO2 out of the atmosphere.
  4166.  
  4167. 878
  4168. 01:17:41,561 --> 01:17:47,725
  4169. Then you should bet
  4170. all the resources of humanity-
  4171.  
  4172. 879
  4173. 01:17:47,775 --> 01:17:51,670
  4174. - to develop CO2 purification methods
  4175. which works.
  4176.  
  4177. 880
  4178. 01:17:53,114 --> 01:17:58,010
  4179. Then we can save the world,
  4180. So why don't we?
  4181.  
  4182. 881
  4183. 01:18:06,085 --> 01:18:09,622
  4184. CLIMEWORKS
  4185. GET IN CO2 FROM THE AIR
  4186.  
  4187. 882
  4188. 01:18:09,672 --> 01:18:15,461
  4189. Direct Air Capture is machines
  4190. which removes CO2 from the air.
  4191.  
  4192. 883
  4193. 01:18:15,511 --> 01:18:18,840
  4194. We have worked with
  4195. technology over the past ten years -
  4196.  
  4197. 885
  4198. 01:18:22,643 --> 01:18:25,221
  4199. -and as economical as possible.
  4200.  
  4201. 886
  4202. 01:18:25,271 --> 01:18:31,769
  4203. The machine consists of four containers
  4204. and can have any size whatsoever.
  4205.  
  4206. 887
  4207. 01:18:31,819 --> 01:18:34,046
  4208. Here the air is sucked in ...
  4209.  
  4210. 888
  4211. 01:18:34,822 --> 01:18:38,426
  4212. ... and inside there is
  4213. our filter construction.
  4214.  
  4215. 890
  4216. 01:18:44,582 --> 01:18:48,703
  4217. When CO2 is captured
  4218. ends up in a greenhouse.
  4219.  
  4220. 893
  4221. 01:18:55,218 --> 01:18:59,088
  4222. Similar is happening nowadays,
  4223. solid with fossil CO2.
  4224.  
  4225. 894
  4226. 01:18:59,138 --> 01:19:02,575
  4227. In the future they will come
  4228. to use atmospheric CO2.
  4229.  
  4230. 895
  4231. 01:19:06,145 --> 01:19:09,057
  4232. The facility does
  4233. that you can stop the carbon cycle.
  4234.  
  4235. 896
  4236. 01:19:09,107 --> 01:19:14,479
  4237. The CO2 that gets into the greenhouse
  4238. also ends up in cucumbers and tomatoes
  4239.  
  4240. 898
  4241. 01:19:17,657 --> 01:19:21,527
  4242. But because we capture CO2 again
  4243. the circle is closed.
  4244.  
  4245. 899
  4246. 01:19:21,577 --> 01:19:25,406
  4247. This can be
  4248. the missing cake bit -
  4249.  
  4250. 900
  4251. 01:19:25,456 --> 01:19:31,771
  4252. - needed to stop the carbon cycle
  4253. in the energy or transport sector.
  4254.  
  4255. 901
  4256. 01:19:35,007 --> 01:19:38,336
  4257. In addition to using CO2
  4258. in a greenhouse like this
  4259.  
  4260. 902
  4261. 01:19:38,386 --> 01:19:42,840
  4262. - can we take CO2,
  4263. water and renewable energy
  4264.  
  4265. 903
  4266. 01:19:42,890 --> 01:19:47,286
  4267. - and of it produce fuel,
  4268. for example, aviation fuel.
  4269.  
  4270. 904
  4271. 01:19:47,979 --> 01:19:51,974
  4272. To capture one percent
  4273. of the global CO2 emissions
  4274.  
  4275. 905
  4276. 01:19:52,024 --> 01:19:55,770
  4277. - about 300,000 needed
  4278. of the plants behind me
  4279.  
  4280. 906
  4281. 01:19:55,820 --> 01:19:58,064
  4282. -Which is a very high figure.
  4283.  
  4284. 907
  4285. 01:19:58,114 --> 01:20:00,942
  4286. But compared to today's
  4287. the infrastructures
  4288.  
  4289. 908
  4290. 01:20:00,992 --> 01:20:07,223
  4291. - it is an extent that we can handle,
  4292. so it is definitely possible.
  4293.  
  4294. 909
  4295. 01:20:09,375 --> 01:20:12,495
  4296. Hellisheidi power plant for
  4297. geothermal energy in Iceland
  4298.  
  4299. 910
  4300. 01:20:12,545 --> 01:20:16,207
  4301. The next project is
  4302. a plant in Iceland-
  4303.  
  4304. 912
  4305. 01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:26,926
  4306. Two hours later you do
  4307. CO2 to a stone
  4308.  
  4309. 913
  4310. 01:20:26,976 --> 01:20:31,247
  4311. - that keeps it permanently
  4312. and safely.
  4313.  
  4314. 914
  4315. 01:20:33,274 --> 01:20:37,795
  4316. To operate the plant
  4317. we use geothermal heat.
  4318.  
  4319. 915
  4320. 01:20:38,821 --> 01:20:41,107
  4321. It is abundant in Iceland.
  4322.  
  4323. 916
  4324. 01:20:41,157 --> 01:20:46,362
  4325. It hardly gives any carbon footprint
  4326. to operate the machinery.
  4327.  
  4328. 917
  4329. 01:20:46,412 --> 01:20:52,618
  4330. It's a great day. We have received
  4331. The CO2 plant to Iceland.
  4332.  
  4333. 918
  4334. 01:20:52,668 --> 01:20:57,123
  4335. We pull CO2 out of the air,
  4336. pumps it down underground
  4337.  
  4338. 919
  4339. 01:20:57,173 --> 01:21:01,377
  4340. - and store it in the rock below us,
  4341. where the carbon dioxide is bound.
  4342.  
  4343. 920
  4344. 01:21:01,427 --> 01:21:06,716
  4345. So we take CO2 from the air
  4346. and turn it into stone.
  4347.  
  4348. 921
  4349. 01:21:06,766 --> 01:21:13,139
  4350. Last night was the first time that
  4351. atmospheric CO2 was introduced into the ground.
  4352.  
  4353. 922
  4354. 01:21:13,189 --> 01:21:19,145
  4355. We can come up
  4356. in millions of tons of CO2 per year
  4357.  
  4358. 923
  4359. 01:21:19,195 --> 01:21:21,773
  4360. - which can be extracted from the atmosphere.
  4361.  
  4362. 924
  4363. 01:21:21,823 --> 01:21:25,068
  4364. As far as we know it is
  4365. the first time in the world-
  4366.  
  4367. 925
  4368. 01:21:25,118 --> 01:21:28,404
  4369. - as direct capture of CO2
  4370. has been combined with
  4371.  
  4372. 926
  4373. 01:21:28,454 --> 01:21:32,308
  4374. - with underground, safe and
  4375. permanent storage of CO2.
  4376.  
  4377. 927
  4378. 01:21:35,795 --> 01:21:39,040
  4379. We have a new relationship with coal.
  4380.  
  4381. 928
  4382. 01:21:39,090 --> 01:21:42,335
  4383. Can't find us
  4384. a new use for it?
  4385.  
  4386. 929
  4387. 01:21:42,385 --> 01:21:46,214
  4388. Can't we have it
  4389. in plastic or building materials?
  4390.  
  4391. 930
  4392. 01:21:46,264 --> 01:21:51,786
  4393. We may be able to convert carbon dioxide
  4394. to something we need every day?
  4395.  
  4396. 931
  4397. 01:22:00,194 --> 01:22:07,360
  4398. A LOW LIGHT UP THE WAY
  4399.  
  4400. 932
  4401. 01:22:07,410 --> 01:22:12,949
  4402. My name is Daniel Nocera and I am
  4403. professor of energy at Harvard.
  4404.  
  4405. 933
  4406. 01:22:12,999 --> 01:22:19,122
  4407. In the lab we invented the artificial
  4408. and the bionic leaf.
  4409.  
  4410. 934
  4411. 01:22:19,172 --> 01:22:24,127
  4412. They can perform
  4413. a complete photosynthesis.
  4414.  
  4415. 935
  4416. 01:22:24,177 --> 01:22:29,115
  4417. Sunlight, air and water
  4418. they convert into fuel and food.
  4419.  
  4420. 936
  4421. 01:22:30,224 --> 01:22:32,969
  4422. Think about photosynthesis.
  4423.  
  4424. 937
  4425. 01:22:33,019 --> 01:22:38,307
  4426. What is it doing?
  4427. It makes life's building blocks.
  4428.  
  4429. 938
  4430. 01:22:38,357 --> 01:22:44,897
  4431. The building blocks are CO2,
  4432. water and sunlight.
  4433.  
  4434. 939
  4435. 01:22:44,947 --> 01:22:48,067
  4436. Then we build all this.
  4437.  
  4438. 940
  4439. 01:22:48,117 --> 01:22:53,364
  4440. Wood, food, starch and biomass.
  4441.  
  4442. 941
  4443. 01:22:53,414 --> 01:22:56,826
  4444. It's an incredible transformation.
  4445.  
  4446. 942
  4447. 01:22:56,876 --> 01:23:02,957
  4448. Photosynthesis is complicated,
  4449. but we really listened to nature.
  4450.  
  4451. 943
  4452. 01:23:03,007 --> 01:23:06,377
  4453. And we did that for 30 years.
  4454.  
  4455. 944
  4456. 01:23:06,427 --> 01:23:09,130
  4457. What makes me so happy-
  4458.  
  4459. 945
  4460. 01:23:09,180 --> 01:23:12,258
  4461. - is that we are not just
  4462. can make it artificially-
  4463.  
  4464. 946
  4465. 01:23:12,308 --> 01:23:16,220
  4466. - but also ten times better
  4467. than the real photosynthesis.
  4468.  
  4469. 947
  4470. 01:23:16,270 --> 01:23:20,391
  4471. We developed catalysts
  4472. that covered the artificial leaf.
  4473.  
  4474. 948
  4475. 01:23:20,441 --> 01:23:24,312
  4476. They split the water
  4477. in hydrogen and oxygen.
  4478.  
  4479. 949
  4480. 01:23:24,362 --> 01:23:27,815
  4481. The second part of the invention
  4482. is the bionic leaf.
  4483.  
  4484. 950
  4485. 01:23:27,865 --> 01:23:33,071
  4486. It takes nitrogen from bacteria
  4487. and manufactures fuel.
  4488.  
  4489. 951
  4490. 01:23:33,121 --> 01:23:37,408
  4491. Depending on the genes
  4492. i put into the bacterium
  4493.  
  4494. 952
  4495. 01:23:37,458 --> 01:23:41,788
  4496. - I can get the bacterium
  4497. to manufacture materials, medicines
  4498.  
  4499. 953
  4500. 01:23:41,838 --> 01:23:44,624
  4501. - and we've shown
  4502. that they can make fertilizers.
  4503.  
  4504. 954
  4505. 01:23:44,674 --> 01:23:51,672
  4506. We can use all kinds of water.
  4507. Plain water, sea water ...
  4508.  
  4509. 955
  4510. 01:23:51,722 --> 01:23:56,135
  4511. You only have my artificial leaves
  4512. one can do it in the garden.
  4513.  
  4514. 956
  4515. 01:23:56,185 --> 01:24:01,307
  4516. We don't have to dig it up like that
  4517. are there and release more CO2.
  4518.  
  4519. 957
  4520. 01:24:01,357 --> 01:24:04,394
  4521. The artificial leaf
  4522. in collaboration with the bionic
  4523.  
  4524. 958
  4525. 01:24:04,444 --> 01:24:09,065
  4526. - takes CO2 out of the air and uses
  4527. sun and water to make fuel.
  4528.  
  4529. 959
  4530. 01:24:09,115 --> 01:24:14,529
  4531. So we don't add any more
  4532. CO2 to the atmosphere.
  4533.  
  4534. 960
  4535. 01:24:14,579 --> 01:24:18,533
  4536. Another thing is the cost.
  4537.  
  4538. 961
  4539. 01:24:18,583 --> 01:24:24,622
  4540. I-countries have added fantasy sums
  4541. to build what they have today.
  4542.  
  4543. 962
  4544. 01:24:24,672 --> 01:24:30,086
  4545. It is difficult to abandon one billion
  4546. investment that you have paid off.
  4547.  
  4548. 963
  4549. 01:24:30,136 --> 01:24:32,004
  4550. That's what it's all about.
  4551.  
  4552. 964
  4553. 01:24:32,054 --> 01:24:36,784
  4554. Therefore, guidelines are required
  4555. and good collaborations.
  4556.  
  4557. 965
  4558. 01:24:37,477 --> 01:24:42,807
  4559. And that the public gets to know
  4560. that they have alternative
  4561.  
  4562. 966
  4563. 01:24:42,857 --> 01:24:46,585
  4564. -and that the world can change.
  4565.  
  4566. 968
  4567. 01:24:55,828 --> 01:25:01,492
  4568. The green economy creates
  4569. already millions of jobs.
  4570.  
  4571. 969
  4572. 01:25:01,542 --> 01:25:06,998
  4573. It will surpass the economy
  4574. from the fossil fuel industry.
  4575.  
  4576. 970
  4577. 01:25:07,048 --> 01:25:13,296
  4578. The challenge to reverse the climate crisis
  4579. provides new opportunities for everyone.
  4580.  
  4581. 971
  4582. 01:25:13,346 --> 01:25:18,451
  4583. It's now more profitable
  4584. than ever to be green.
  4585.  
  4586. 972
  4587. 01:25:21,354 --> 01:25:27,560
  4588. Until recently, more was earned
  4589. to create problems
  4590.  
  4591. 973
  4592. 01:25:27,610 --> 01:25:31,773
  4593. - even coming up with solutions.
  4594.  
  4595. 974
  4596. 01:25:31,823 --> 01:25:36,944
  4597. The solutions therefore required
  4598. subsidies that hardly existed.
  4599.  
  4600. 975
  4601. 01:25:36,994 --> 01:25:40,281
  4602. The alternatives were altruism or belief.
  4603.  
  4604. 977
  4605. 01:25:44,794 --> 01:25:50,166
  4606. Then a transition took place where the profit
  4607. from the solutions became bigger-
  4608.  
  4609. 978
  4610. 01:25:50,216 --> 01:25:54,796
  4611. - than the benefits of the problems,
  4612. which is not so easy to understand.
  4613.  
  4614. 979
  4615. 01:25:54,846 --> 01:25:58,591
  4616. It does not mean altruism
  4617. Not needed, it's something great.
  4618.  
  4619. 980
  4620. 01:25:58,641 --> 01:26:03,763
  4621. But altruism will not be required
  4622. to take the step towards a world-
  4623.  
  4624. 981
  4625. 01:26:03,813 --> 01:26:09,018
  4626. - where we turn the heating,
  4627. because it is cheaper.
  4628.  
  4629. 982
  4630. 01:26:09,068 --> 01:26:12,480
  4631. It's more profitable, more affordable
  4632. and creates more jobs.
  4633.  
  4634. 983
  4635. 01:26:12,530 --> 01:26:16,567
  4636. It's the most amazing
  4637. which has happened for several years.
  4638.  
  4639. 984
  4640. 01:26:16,617 --> 01:26:20,405
  4641. And it will only grow
  4642. as the years go by
  4643.  
  4644. 985
  4645. 01:26:20,455 --> 01:26:22,907
  4646. - Because engineers
  4647. and designers
  4648.  
  4649. 986
  4650. 01:26:22,957 --> 01:26:28,413
  4651. - which are largely unknown,
  4652. works diligently to develop
  4653.  
  4654. 987
  4655. 01:26:28,463 --> 01:26:34,819
  4656. - a new way for man
  4657. to relate to the planet.
  4658.  
  4659. 988
  4660. 01:26:44,896 --> 01:26:52,503
  4661. ORKNEY ISLANDS
  4662. SCOTLAND
  4663.  
  4664. 989
  4665. 01:26:53,446 --> 01:26:57,150
  4666. Here at Orkney we have
  4667. a very strong maritime tradition.
  4668.  
  4669. 990
  4670. 01:26:57,200 --> 01:27:01,237
  4671. Ever since the 70's has
  4672. the oil and gas industry in Aberdeen
  4673.  
  4674. 991
  4675. 01:27:01,287 --> 01:27:05,742
  4676. - been important to the economy
  4677. and created tens of thousands of jobs.
  4678.  
  4679. 992
  4680. 01:27:05,792 --> 01:27:08,703
  4681. But in recent years we have seen
  4682. a large turnaround
  4683.  
  4684. 993
  4685. 01:27:08,753 --> 01:27:12,123
  4686. - concerning the oil and gas industry
  4687. and the oil price.
  4688.  
  4689. 994
  4690. 01:27:12,173 --> 01:27:17,462
  4691. But we have many experienced people
  4692. from offshore jobs on the way in.
  4693.  
  4694. 995
  4695. 01:27:17,512 --> 01:27:20,173
  4696. They find new jobs
  4697. within renewable energy
  4698.  
  4699. 996
  4700. 01:27:20,223 --> 01:27:22,283
  4701. -hos company like us.
  4702.  
  4703. 997
  4704. 01:27:25,394 --> 01:27:29,390
  4705. Tides are almost
  4706. a completely unused energy source.
  4707.  
  4708. 998
  4709. 01:27:29,440 --> 01:27:34,854
  4710. We believe we have the potential to achieve
  4711. a capacity of at least 100 gigawatts.
  4712.  
  4713. 999
  4714. 01:27:34,904 --> 01:27:41,844
  4715. That means low-carbon energy
  4716. to millions of households.
  4717.  
  4718. 1000
  4719. 01:27:43,079 --> 01:27:48,242
  4720. Here we see the world's most powerful,
  4721. floating tidal generator.
  4722.  
  4723. 1001
  4724. 01:27:48,292 --> 01:27:53,230
  4725. It is a floating platform
  4726. with two fixed rotors.
  4727.  
  4728. 1002
  4729. 01:27:57,218 --> 01:28:01,047
  4730. When the rotors spin
  4731. electricity is produced
  4732.  
  4733. 1003
  4734. 01:28:01,097 --> 01:28:04,217
  4735. - brought up to the machine,
  4736. where it is conditioned.
  4737.  
  4738. 1004
  4739. 01:28:04,267 --> 01:28:11,265
  4740. Then the electricity is transformed
  4741. and carried out into the power grid.
  4742.  
  4743. 1005
  4744. 01:28:11,315 --> 01:28:15,878
  4745. It's like a wind turbine,
  4746. fixed with two rotors instead of one.
  4747.  
  4748. 1006
  4749. 01:28:17,113 --> 01:28:19,941
  4750. A few weeks ago
  4751. we made great progress.
  4752.  
  4753. 1007
  4754. 01:28:19,991 --> 01:28:24,070
  4755. We had our first 24 hours
  4756. with uninterrupted electricity production.
  4757.  
  4758. 1008
  4759. 01:28:24,120 --> 01:28:27,365
  4760. It actually worked
  4761. far better than expected.
  4762.  
  4763. 1009
  4764. 01:28:27,415 --> 01:28:33,287
  4765. The device itself generated over
  4766. 18 megawatt hours during the day.
  4767.  
  4768. 1010
  4769. 01:28:33,337 --> 01:28:38,209
  4770. We are moving towards more traditional ones
  4771. methods in renewable energy.
  4772.  
  4773. 1011
  4774. 01:28:38,259 --> 01:28:42,547
  4775. We put the tide on the map as
  4776. a competitive alternative
  4777.  
  4778. 1012
  4779. 01:28:42,597 --> 01:28:45,574
  4780. - Worldwide,
  4781. and the world needs.
  4782.  
  4783. 1013
  4784. 01:28:47,518 --> 01:28:51,139
  4785. The turbine is 63 meters in total.
  4786.  
  4787. 1014
  4788. 01:28:51,189 --> 01:28:54,726
  4789. We convert the energy on board
  4790. so that it is completely clear-
  4791.  
  4792. 1015
  4793. 01:28:54,776 --> 01:28:58,021
  4794. - to be exported straight out
  4795. in the UK electricity grid.
  4796.  
  4797. 1016
  4798. 01:28:58,071 --> 01:29:04,193
  4799. We aim for
  4800. tens of thousands of tidal turbines.
  4801.  
  4802. 1017
  4803. 01:29:04,243 --> 01:29:06,237
  4804. It's a complete system
  4805.  
  4806. 1018
  4807. 01:29:06,287 --> 01:29:08,973
  4808. - for production
  4809. of low carbon energy.
  4810.  
  4811. 1019
  4812. 01:29:12,085 --> 01:29:15,038
  4813. EMEC was built as a test lab
  4814.  
  4815. 1020
  4816. 01:29:15,088 --> 01:29:20,543
  4817. - because we know there are huge
  4818. amounts of energy in the world's oceans.
  4819.  
  4820. 1021
  4821. 01:29:20,593 --> 01:29:23,171
  4822. We try to find a way
  4823. to extract it.
  4824.  
  4825. 1022
  4826. 01:29:23,221 --> 01:29:27,300
  4827. We realized that it was important
  4828. to have a test center
  4829.  
  4830. 1023
  4831. 01:29:27,350 --> 01:29:30,470
  4832. - where we could find out
  4833. how this would happen.
  4834.  
  4835. 1024
  4836. 01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:35,058
  4837. From the test center we have cables
  4838. leading straight to the sea
  4839.  
  4840. 1025
  4841. 01:29:35,108 --> 01:29:40,229
  4842. - like the developers of the machines
  4843. can connect.
  4844.  
  4845. 1026
  4846. 01:29:40,279 --> 01:29:42,673
  4847. Then the electricity is brought in
  4848.  
  4849. 1027
  4850. 01:29:43,783 --> 01:29:46,486
  4851. - and straight out
  4852. in our national electricity grid.
  4853.  
  4854. 1028
  4855. 01:29:46,536 --> 01:29:50,806
  4856. They create electricity from seawater.
  4857.  
  4858. 1029
  4859. 01:29:51,916 --> 01:29:56,496
  4860. Now we have the Penguin device here,
  4861. made by the company Wello Oy.
  4862.  
  4863. 1030
  4864. 01:29:56,546 --> 01:30:01,334
  4865. Their machine basically consists of
  4866. a large pendulum inside the ship.
  4867.  
  4868. 1031
  4869. 01:30:01,384 --> 01:30:04,712
  4870. As the ship moves
  4871. spins the pendulum horizontally.
  4872.  
  4873. 1032
  4874. 01:30:04,762 --> 01:30:06,756
  4875. It generates energy.
  4876.  
  4877. 1033
  4878. 01:30:06,806 --> 01:30:10,593
  4879. The sea is ruthless and
  4880. always trying to damage the equipment
  4881.  
  4882. 1034
  4883. 01:30:10,643 --> 01:30:15,473
  4884. - so to bring out equipment that is
  4885. reliable, robust, efficient, profitable ...
  4886.  
  4887. 1035
  4888. 01:30:15,523 --> 01:30:17,767
  4889. All the developers wrestle with that.
  4890.  
  4891. 1036
  4892. 01:30:17,817 --> 01:30:21,062
  4893. But we have already managed to create gold.
  4894.  
  4895. 1037
  4896. 01:30:21,112 --> 01:30:23,898
  4897. We've actually transformed
  4898. sea water for energy.
  4899.  
  4900. 1038
  4901. 01:30:23,948 --> 01:30:27,944
  4902. It's huge, because people
  4903. has questioned it for years.
  4904.  
  4905. 1040
  4906. 01:30:55,271 --> 01:30:58,850
  4907. No one can claim that the researchers
  4908. have not warned us-
  4909.  
  4910. 1041
  4911. 01:30:58,900 --> 01:31:03,187
  4912. - and said that we must reduce
  4913. greenhouse gas emissions.
  4914.  
  4915. 1042
  4916. 01:31:03,237 --> 01:31:04,939
  4917. It should be crystal clear.
  4918.  
  4919. 1043
  4920. 01:31:04,989 --> 01:31:07,734
  4921. How many breakpoints can we pass-
  4922.  
  4923. 1045
  4924. 01:31:13,164 --> 01:31:18,703
  4925. - or that most of life
  4926. on the planet does not manage?
  4927.  
  4928. 1046
  4929. 01:31:18,753 --> 01:31:23,207
  4930. It must not go so far.
  4931. And we're so fucking close now.
  4932.  
  4933. 1047
  4934. 01:31:23,257 --> 01:31:29,005
  4935. Either we hold the course
  4936. and drowning, burning up
  4937.  
  4938. 1048
  4939. 01:31:29,055 --> 01:31:32,675
  4940. - and starve to death
  4941. as a result of the climate crisis.
  4942.  
  4943. 1051
  4944. 01:31:40,942 --> 01:31:43,561
  4945. Or has the game just begun?
  4946.  
  4947. 1052
  4948. 01:31:43,611 --> 01:31:50,151
  4949. After all, we have the knowledge and solutions that
  4950. can turn global warming.
  4951.  
  4952. 1053
  4953. 01:31:50,201 --> 01:31:54,489
  4954. Don't mitigate or reduce it.
  4955. We can turn it around.
  4956.  
  4957. 1054
  4958. 01:31:54,539 --> 01:31:57,784
  4959. When setting high goals
  4960. new opportunities are opened.
  4961.  
  4962. 1055
  4963. 01:31:57,834 --> 01:32:01,662
  4964. It opens the imagination
  4965. and opens for innovations.
  4966.  
  4967. 1056
  4968. 01:32:01,712 --> 01:32:04,749
  4969. It does not exclude anything,
  4970. rather the opposite.
  4971.  
  4972. 1057
  4973. 01:32:04,799 --> 01:32:08,002
  4974. It's not that it exists
  4975. a single solution
  4976.  
  4977. 1058
  4978. 01:32:08,052 --> 01:32:15,134
  4979. - but in collaboration one can achieve
  4980. results with 80% of the solutions.
  4981.  
  4982. 1059
  4983. 01:32:15,184 --> 01:32:20,848
  4984. Each solution has great advantages
  4985. that makes the world better for everyone.
  4986.  
  4987. 1060
  4988. 01:32:20,898 --> 01:32:27,063
  4989. We lose nothing to realize
  4990. that climate change is going on-
  4991.  
  4992. 1061
  4993. 01:32:27,113 --> 01:32:31,383
  4994. - and that we are affected.
  4995. So what's the problem?
  4996.  
  4997. 1062
  4998. 01:32:37,749 --> 01:32:42,370
  4999. We are the first generation
  5000. who see climate change -
  5001.  
  5002. 1063
  5003. 01:32:42,420 --> 01:32:45,873
  5004. - and the last one
  5005. with a chance to fix it.
  5006.  
  5007. 1064
  5008. 01:32:45,923 --> 01:32:47,834
  5009. Despite all the evidence
  5010.  
  5011. 1065
  5012. 01:32:47,884 --> 01:32:53,047
  5013. - fossil fuels are still used
  5014. at an ever increasing rate.
  5015.  
  5016. 1066
  5017. 01:32:53,097 --> 01:32:59,804
  5018. Science has given us the truth,
  5019. based on real research.
  5020.  
  5021. 1067
  5022. 01:32:59,854 --> 01:33:06,936
  5023. It's time to start listening and
  5024. apply the solutions available.
  5025.  
  5026. 1068
  5027. 01:33:06,986 --> 01:33:11,524
  5028. Time is out soon. Ice melts.
  5029.  
  5030. 1069
  5031. 01:33:11,574 --> 01:33:18,031
  5032. Resolution measures must be taken now.
  5033. There is no other option.
  5034.  
  5035. 1070
  5036. 01:33:18,081 --> 01:33:23,661
  5037. The opportunity is within our reach.
  5038. Now we take it.
  5039.  
  5040. 1071
  5041. 01:33:23,711 --> 01:33:26,998
  5042. It's up to each of us -
  5043.  
  5044. 1072
