inscent people to create carbon

and this is madness

and whatever you inscent will happen

its very important

that we take actions today to recognize

that we are making a significant change

to the chemical constituency

of the atmospheres and the oceans

and when that is almost impossible to reverse

here when we look back

on these days in the future

we weren't be able to say that we did the actions

that were right

or the actions that were important

20 30 40 years in the future

and what do you say to your kids or your grandkids

Scientist all say that

these bad things are going to happen

it's like 97%

so like say, well, to your kids or grandkids

like, well, did nobody tell you?

no everyone was telling us

so why didn't you do anything?

what's the answer?

I think it's very important that we do something

and depending on the point how

what actions we take

will drive the carbon number to

be in extreme or moderate levels

I think it pretty much is given that a 2 degree

sea increase will occur

the question is

whether it's going to be much more than that

in a plus as a percentage relative to absolute zero

its only a plus-minus 2 percent change

the sensitivity of the climate is extremely high

we've amplified the sensitivity by building our

cities right on the coastline

it based on the projections that we are seeing right now

these are like arguably the best case projections

we're going to see a significant rise in temperature

and sea level

if we don't take actions

we could see

anywhere from 5 to 10 percent

maybe more of the land mass absorb by water

about a third (1/3) of humanity lives right on

the coastline

or in a low line countries

so we'd be talking about maybe

2 billion people being displaced

and their homes is being destroyed

and their countries has been gone

so I think we should take actions

the reason that the transition is delayed

what world has is happening slowly

is because there's a hidden subsidy

on all carbon producing activity

and that result is 35 gigaton of carbon per year

into the atmosphere

The best case is simply delaying that inevitable

transition to sustainable energy

there's going to be no choice than long term

to move to sustainable energy

its total logical

we have to have sustainable energy

or something could run out the other one

the only thing we gain

by slowing down the transition is

it is just slowing it down

it doesn't make it not occur but its just slows it down

The worst case, however, is more

displacement and destruction than

all the wars in the history combined

We have about 3% of scientist

that believe in the best case

about 97% that believe in the worst case

this is why I called it the Dumbest Experiment in History

The Goal is to exit the era as quickly as possible

but the new goal is to move to

a sustainable energy future

and we wanted to use energy sources

that would be good for a billion years

so what can you do?

I think whenever you have the opportunity

talk to the politicians

ask them to enact a carbon text

we have to fix the unpriced externality

or talk to your friends about it

and fight the propaganda from the carbon industry

so I think you have tremendous power

you have the power to make the change

I tell you we definitely can't

beat the oil and gas industries on lobbyist

Exelon makes more profit in a year

than the value of the entire solar industry

there's no way you can win on money

its impossible

this is not only the important issue

but it is I think that the thing that will have

the biggest negative effect on humanity

if we do not address it

unless something changes very quickly

the sustainable energy

will still be in a bad situation 5 years from now

if its the right thing for the future

our country should just do it

and don't worry about what other countries are doing

Just do the right thing
