3:31 pm
a lot of talk here this morning that this was going to be a resignation speech that he was under a lot of pressure. and that he was addressing the public in order to explain what he was going to do next to that did not happen. it was more speech of reassurance. he said to his people, i know you are worried, we are doing everything we can to look. i'll see you. he thanked security forces, you said way prioritizing the coordination of security forces and he said, i will do everything in my power to stop the blood shoot. the big question is, what does he intend to do to stop this further bloodshed? he did mention that he is in consultation with local and international policies, and those negotiations are ongoing fireplaces that managed to put all out all the fires in one of the provinces we've been covering. but there are still 35 other flare ups elsewhere. the army has been deployed to help fight the fight, but many rural areas still lack equipment. at least 71 people have been killed.

a mass scale. it is d, stabilize local economies and overwhelmed poor countries. it is disrupted, society's entire nations, the world in fact. but there are still people who dismiss scientific expertise on its causes and severity. media outlets on sending push notifications to us loading us to every new development. and a shocking number of governments remained resistant to the kind of radical action the situation demanded. that's because the crisis on referring to isn't the corona bar. if the ecological breakdown of our planet the the on the little of march 2020, the world health organization announced we have rung be on our bill loud and clear
3:34 pm
. we were in the grid of the kind of in 1900 pandemic. we cannot say these loudly enough or clearly enough or often enough. all countries can still change the course of this band make. the global reaction was at a scale wave rarely seen before. governance responded with a mix of chaotic politics and politicize came within the some countries managing to put a method to the madness. regardless of how they got a significant number of countries went into look down with some cities and regions being put into actual florentine. it was funny how such a wide range and policy measures were brought into effect in such a short space of time. especially when you consider that the decades there's been a much bigger, more threatening, more long running crisis needing urgent global action. the 1st thing i'd say
3:35 pm
is that the climate crisis is such that it makes the cobra 19 pandemic. really, george mon beer is a british journalist and activist whose focus is on the state of the climate. and it so much bigger, it is so much more threatening to us divide, but not least because it threatens our food supplies. this is something we're discussing thought to listen. but the size is pretty clear that between 3 and 4 degrees centigrade of global heating about pre industrial levels, we go into massive net food deficit, structural damage, where crucial bread baskets can turn into dust phones. this is genuinely threatening to the survival of humanity. and if we think people fighting the toilet paper in the supermarkets looks ugly, you know, i really,
3:36 pm
really hope we don't need to witness people fighting over food. since the pandemic was announced in lockdown, began, george has been pointing out the connection between the climate crisis and the jew health and economic crises that we are facing right now. one of the main link points to the subject, he came back to repeatedly during our interview capitalism. i think there are 3 fundamental problems, capitalism that are not compatible with the long term survival a few minutes. one is that it relies for parents fast on economic growth, which would be fine. it's kind of growing at the same rate. but if we were to follow the prescriptions of the world bank of the dean where we to maintain a steady track of 3 percent growth doesn't sound like very much. that means it doubles in just 24 years and then doubles again and 48. you are already,
3:37 pm
we've gone beyond the limits that the planet can pay. the 2nd problem is this extraordinary belief that the numbers in your bank account equate to a right to that from well, what possible connection is that between those numbers in a bank account and the right to an attractive land or a private jet is going to pollute a certain amount of atmosphere or to buy new french units to she'll change handle your for home in mahogany, because in all those cases you are taking away natural well from someone else. and the 3rd one is that capitalism promise. this is all private luxury. that's why we go along with it, because one day we'll get that to where all temporarily embarrassed millionaires and they can't possibly fulfill yours if it did, you would trash our entire life support systems. the all sustainable exploitation of nature has a direct connection to the health crisis when are facing just monks into the
3:38 pm
lockdown officials from the u. n. w h o and world wildlife fund all stated that the legal wildlife trade and deforestation with driving forces behind the increasing number of so called the nordic diseases, illnesses like the current of ours that have leaped from wildlife to human things. they staged from what we know to have spread as a result of the wildlife trained as a result of people mopping up rad wildlife. from around the world, you brought humans into contact. close contact with species had never been in close contact before. i 1st became aware 30 years ago when i lived in the amazon and every so often they'd be an outbreak of rabies always deforested enters. and the reason for that was that the vampire bats which had been feeding on floating monkeys in the tree tops the canopy came down to earth, and the trees were found started feeding on people instead. and people terrified
3:39 pm
the outbreaks. rabies rampaging trays without proper health care, and so large sums of diets, and that piqued my interest in how the destruction of nature can lead to destruction of people. george isn't exaggerating here. according to recent reports from the world wildlife fund, approximately 60 to 70 percent of the new diseases that have emerged in humans over the past 30 years, have had to do nordic origin. h i. v in speaker emerged from primates, bowler and saws from bats. nurse was traced back to camels, and in the case of bird flew, will the answers in the name. the birds are primarily industrial, farmed, poultry. all of these diseases spread to humans from animal populations under conditions of considerable environmental pressure. ileana broom is a brazilian generalist and filmmaker who lives in the heart of the amazon in brazil . the finance trans, which month? i mean when things were stamped my are looking for a bus stop and in my school with mercedes medical i don't think they seem to be the
3:40 pm
following. but i'm just going to leave the flip. the switch card. if it is mon pick at the fast god rescue, you know, with a man to pin c. l views, no. noel feet. the oven message is clear. the littering left to nature, the more environmental problems including you did leave the noises. there will be, but elio news focus is not just on the plant and animal life that has been destroyed. her point is there are communities with people who can have a net positive effect on the world. and even those people are at risk from an economic ideology of relentless growth and the destruction associated with it is to 5 to 5 different floor. asked the 50 foot
3:41 pm
bill. i think it still says any, my middle name is no matter what stuff. what if the god and the modeling them, i think i'm not 50 which be for me. he suspects and he's more ellis, strong, just released back or just the human economy is a subsystem of the natural ecos here. and the only thing that enables it to grow is its continuous capacity to extract resources and energy from the rest of the sphere . ill means is a professor of human ecology. he has a compelling way of describing the human takeover of the time. if we went back 10000 years to the down of the biomass,
3:42 pm
sure. weight of human beings concentrated far less than one percent of the total bio massive mammals on earth. today humans are now 32 percent or 34 percent. but if we had our mystic animals, cattle, sheep states and so on, that's another 60 plus percent. so in total owners today, human beings and their domestic stock are somewhere between $95.98 and a half percent the told them a 1000000. so wild nature has been displaced to the tiny fringes. one of the markers of the human impact on the planet is something with come to know as carbon footprint, the measurement of greenhouse gas emissions. however, there's also something known as the ecological footprint, a concept co developed by bill that compares the total natural resources consumed by an individual group against the plan, its ability to renew it. if you look at the ecological footprint of any advanced, highly populated rich country, they are in
3:43 pm
a state of ecological. so if everyone lived with people do would require the capacity of say, 3 plan efforts. if everyone lived the way we do, on average in canada, we would need the bio capacity for 5 senators and we don't have them. we can only live this way because we are effectively x over exploding in the global common europe included a century ago has not been for the capacity to import resources and from the colonies. the ecological footprint, the rich, very rich of thousands of times greater than the last which we can have great public improvements and public tennis courts and public art galleries and museums and playgrounds and parks. but if everybody tries to do it for themselves, then in my country london recover off of england, england would cover half of europe and you're covered. well, they wouldn't even be physical room for everybody to live,
3:44 pm
let alone the ecological space. being able to measure environmental impact has been crucial, not only to help identify which human activities, communities, and countries bear, the biggest responsibility for climate hom, but also to understand the populations that bear the biggest brought to the do a paper published in the science and medical journal, the lancet in september 2020. so to want to find national responsibility for climate breakdown. the findings indicated that high income countries, most of them, among the most industrialized nations in the global north, were responsible for 90 percent of exits, emissions. thing we can change. gees bratley, the law. yeah. brought it to them. but i would say just in nazi will ask, emigrating to meet you will keep lost, mill stamps will be my my would keep them back each one of you if you
3:45 pm
got shows. yeah. that will be margin is mac, who is the what key? who fetus. she wants to make. she'll be to andy crockett. there. so you know, i have sister mosse. i'm always looking at. is it? well, they might not. i mean, it could be, yeah, i don't with my law, but if you go to something like that, yes them based will make a tightly module at the they will put the coffee back in march. as the enormity of the closing process was becoming clear, i for the tweet from a climate change activist, it said if the media covered the climate crisis, the way they covered corona virus, constantly and thoroughly, then the public would be awake to the crisis and the whole world would be mobilizing to stop it. like folks have said,
3:46 pm
climate change needs to hire quoted 19th publicist. i asked georgian elliana, what they thought of this is really interesting thought and credit, clever and cheeky, ready to put it. it has to be said 1st off. another. busy government's communication and correct viruses be really, really bad, really minister going to a bit of a model when oster explain what his new laws actually was. it's, it's, it's 6 in 6 and, you know, without a t, but as i understand it not successful, the current of ours kind of does it have communication issues. it's own warnings and says, right, you've got to wash your hands, you've got to practice physical distance thing. you've got to do all the things which this virus demands and it comes and imperative. i can stop, you know, edgy, edgy, march. and way too fast. this source also hit dark, a little hand quad dice can call me
3:47 pm
when the school in the call, but i will give you know, if i can't get him to the 5th. so it is not based on me. he is no thank if you loose, which long keep in mind that academically much government have been forced to step up and have been forced to tell us what to do. and i think now they need to tell us what to do with comic right now. it's all very well saying, right, we're building new, we're apples, but please don't fly. and we encourage you to know me, but please minimize your material footprint. i mean the messages are just so confused. all you end up with it's cognitive, just the drastic response demanded by close it inadvertently gave us
3:48 pm
a glimpse of what we thought serious and somewhat sustain change could look like. as the virus spread around the world of trouble ground to a halt cartridge was significantly cut back industrial manufacturing dipped. and yet daughter in june revealed only a 5 percent lower emissions rate than at the same point in 2019. even though normal activity has not yet fully restarted the target, we need to hit 2 of the climate catastrophe predicted by the un back in 2018 is an emissions reduction of 7.6 percent. so our unexpected experiment in reducing our ecological impacts has revealed the sheer extent of the changes that have to be made for the health of the planet. but as governments directly economic fall out of the pandemic, environmental laws and regulations across many countries have been weakened or torn down at an alarming speed. this was particularly evident in the united states when limits on pollution and carbon emissions were lifted. and in brazil, where there was a surgery,
3:49 pm
the executive acts by president jabal scenario. not just you, both of them each. you check, did you feel kind of still not to fit it out because of so demanding y'all. miss day. i'm fine. lace that any image of the book is lot of the error, but he broke his book left sizing. jesus bakovich march. it will make it simple enough. thing was gonna lead us some flat but on the floor as though just the door is no farther home. or if you think of what's been happening in brazil, the destruction of the amazon, the abandonment of environmental regulations, the be increased before a station of the one of the most vile, diverse habits on the planet. it's a travesty a gauge of human kind. but it's not that much different from what goes on in every
3:50 pm
other capital on earth, where governments are beholden to this. we're going to build this economy back bigger, better, stronger. we're backing business to get through this to come out the other side and to grow in the future. and we want to make sure that we get the economy going strongly. we want to get consumer spending again. whatever you want to talk to getting back to normal, we talked about getting back to the to percent annual growth that minimally acceptable international basis. the 3 percent growth that's mentally acceptable for the world as a whole. those prescriptions for the continuum, scouring the performance. if you insist on doing that, you will destroy the very basis of your existence. in fact, this historical data to show that often after a significant dipping emissions comes a spike, the center for international climate and environment research and tracks emissions . and it's documented how since tonight in sixty's,
3:51 pm
key events that have resulted in emissions falling to, to all crises, the dissolution of the soviet union. the 1990 is asian financial crisis. and the 2008 financial crash there came a period of growing emissions in the fiasco columbia that ive again, i spoke when i went up the office and will not be until much less. so if you will know, so can i like to watch like, good job. that was 3 kids up to the scene. now suddenly, fees, tooth saw sample, just thought this was like, you know, from re usable shopping bags to energy efficient home systems. and even then the tooth brushes over the past decade, also there's been a surge in individual efforts around the world to live more so called eco friendly lives. while this unmistakable power in the collective action of many individuals,
3:52 pm
giant corporations can render these efforts irrelevant. simply because their actions are many orders of magnitude more impactful on the planet. just take a look at the breakdown of greenhouse gas emissions since $988.00. $100.00 companies alone are responsible for an astonishing 71 percent. there is literally nothing individual action can achieve if big businesses do not make fundamental changes. so why is this mythology of individual green transformation pushed so aggressively as a viable solution to this global climate crisis? world is vested interests. of course, fossil fuel companies, big manufacturers, the airline corporations, intensive, industrial agriculture. all these giant industries been billions to lobby policymakers and to shape global messaging, so they can pursue their business. shifting the uniform to individuals takes the heat off them. an essential element of neoliberalism is the individuation of play.
3:53 pm
you don't have any money left because you're lazy. in fact, never mind the massive inequality and now distribution, well, you want to protect the environment, well, stop fine, fact it never mind the fact that the fossil fuel companies have, i've got that clause into the home math rates as the gum. so it's all about passing on playing from structural factors on to individual people. so part of the kind of meal of who wrote mythology is the technology will solve our problems. so your current changes a big deal, but it's caused by say, the burning fossil fuel. so only need to do is shift to renew green energy people to i don't have to worry about climate change anymore because technology has all plans capture seo to ah, what other kinds of plans captured it to if these industrial plants had technology
3:54 pm
to capture carbon like trees we could help lower emissions to think about if you truly believe and we teach the summer business schools all. busy over the. ready planet that through rows, we can create the wealth needed to research knowledge is needed to replace nature if you really are so ethical centric. so self centered on the success of our speech . and then this guy, i don't happened as long as be and still makes jude fortunes of this system. so resist any effort to redesign the system before close on. so. so now it's beginning . so, and that's what we can mask on, which isn't going she's been doing while talking in market only from one of the doors if they can move mickey out. yeah, let me see if we can pat hill. now, based on my system pass you to keep going to feel. so when we produce biofuel,
3:55 pm
from sugarcane in brazil, we use the best practice international standard to help protect workers. and the environment last cannot graham's at thought the major samantha gill straw shit, they collapse. the key was the name they sent me down. am i see, would it be for me to keep them based telling you that the meal of them are not going to be a lot to whom? i think he'll need no need to see you in for toward warner's ange boston. guam is mister twitch be some man to commit more stock. he will straw see adel kola much to the splendid knees. the events of the past few months have begun to
3:56 pm
stretch our collective imagination in directions. we wouldn't have contemplated before. and as we take stock of everything with land from the pen demik, we need to apply it to the much bigger, ongoing emergency of environmental crisis. after all, that is the biggest health problem we will ever have to collectively face time for the pendulum to swing back toward a greater sense amount. not only in the relationship, some nations been the relationships between human crime and the rest of nikos. whereby as a species, as a global civilization, we can live more equitably within the bio productive means of the system. now that seems perhaps a bit of a stretch from what it is merely symptomatic with radium balances that currently exist, hoping will not by any means that the last of them will be more if you stay on the
3:57 pm
track by feel funny. feel sick randomly. we'll figure it out. can you please call me back. i thought i found 2 more months. i imagine now i think massa out when we can, we can mobilize your sausage very, very quickly. we can totally change of behavior. we can totally change a structural politics and the way that offerings all these things we, the total complete, impossible suddenly become possible because her face with an emergency. now we have to recognize planning breaks as an emergency. we need now to mobilize on a massive scale to ensure that our lives are not sacrifice on the altar of money.
3:58 pm
