7:17 am
i think of you often and the changes to come. i know i couldn't have changed what happened in my past. but i only wish i knew how to help you in your life. and by the time you were 5 i will be a $101.00. so even though i know it's very unlikely we will never meet. i still like to live in the hope that we could. you are my future. and i am your. and you are with me
7:18 am
as i look for a nonce. difference i make for you. our journey together continues with something that i see every day. and that reminds me of you and the challenges ahead. it's the stuff that is such a central and mostly invisible part of our lives. that we all know it's a coal mine in siberia just one of the many places that produces the fossil fuels that connects me and every other postman's plant to get a. place
7:19 am
. to. play. plentiful yet i still see whose story. is to bring it up with cook we have real to tell us when you hear this because. i still listen to. the
7:20 am
this whole. art book. was and was a mix of such as the she. loves you will. hear it on. the menu at least now when in a. store good. old i'm sure the news i'm peter. some of your other post because all of the components of this year will. play a torch for us to use this in other words i would say to. my side which as it would . move subsystem is a that's playing the blues and rhythm but which are poor we would not. need to teach the will of play that are going as legal so that's.
7:21 am
one day when you are a few years older than one. you will fall in love and some. of this i am absolutely certain. i'm sure it will be magical wherever it happens. like here in the pond at the bottom of the disused coal mine. i really want to but that's got. nothing that. i thought people would do to put a push pull up now that. if
7:22 am
you don't fall. for it it may go to. the definition only. because again you need some of. the done but. you could then you both can still cook when the when it's time to. remake us to start those in the. field those are little to do with things to set up when you don't open such slide going to sit on those honest and i would sit on the boards not good to do you did so well known one of them was no listen to what's going to stop so you need. well. you know.
7:23 am
this looming it would you know there were 2 years in the city but he started in the state in most of this were not because i worked miserably let me tell you quickly. the what it would term with is a really interesting for. this just in the mood to show us where the mother says chris christie. that's what got us to. the. new post of talk as a government to so. as a grandma to sort of get i was the boss through its stock was this again but it was time she. was a resume not must you know me she just foster a discussion. so which of it is she chip which you got. as opposed to get it she
7:24 am
said one. thanks. every day in this region 9000 train cars on loaded with coal and transported to cities in russia germany and china. the same coal provides the heat and the electricity from my own city and from. there still enough coal here to last another 100 years. well into your lifetime. extra. to last for it's good. to see where the. thing took a lump iran torrens. yes and.
7:25 am
the next person i want you to meet is someone i admire very much he's one of the world's most respected climate scientists. in 1908 brought the real dangers of climate change to the world's attention. how do you think your grandchildren or all their grandchildren will see you. well they might think gee what took you so august. but i think in my case i'm you know i work in sarge now that at least they know that in the latter part of my life i was really trying so i don't think they will blame me
7:26 am
personally i'm not worried about that i think people who should be worried about that are the people who deny the reality of climate change even though the science has become clear. what you can expect in the middle of the century in the 2nd half century the past you know if we still hayao. turn attempts is still the paleness on what happens especially in the next decade. in some sense we've passed already some of the tipping points we're going to have some climate impacts which are greater than what we see already.
7:27 am
there's the potential that thanks could really go downhill that the costs of climate change will become so large that the economies will really go backward well if not collapse at least become much less well to do. no matter how badly we mess up this planet it's still worth saving what's left and most of it is still left so of course there is every every reason to try to stay positive and try to get some action that will work in the right sounds but it had better be soon. or young people
7:28 am
will bear the consequences. it. is so the ocean i think that's definitely the biggest part of being marshallese and these part of being an islander is just that ocean presence. and it's just you know even just driving to work it's just ocean on either side of all the time. the dangerous very dangerous yeah. yeah we you know a lot of marshallese for most of the you have a lot of respect for the ocean because you know i can take lives away any moment. i didn't want to follow the news anymore on climate because it was just so disheartening all of the news. it would barely mention us if you did mention us and
7:29 am
then when i did mention us it was comparing us to like so atlanta is it's not like what should we do to help them it's all about well this is going to happen and you know poor marshallese people. also when i look at my daughter you know she's just a baby what am i going to do tell her give up you know you don't want to yell at a baby and so or like scare your baby and tell her that everything's going to nothing's going to work out you want to comfort her you want to make them feel better and you want to believe that things will get better. thanks. to. the i.
7:30 am
a small part of the changes you will see are already there. simple toss. in the marshall islands and also here in california where 5 schools by the us drive to the state's history blankets the landscape and smart. we are on our way to a climate summit in new york. where world leaders will make the decisions that shape your future. it's. just. the i. still see while doing the work. but i hope that you remember as you go across the country that 150 of you and there's 150000000 people all around the world who think like we do and you are part
7:31 am
of the bigger. i know that we're calling this the kind of the same we should also call it the oil industry's worst nightmare. i see on your thanks and. thanks frank. when i think of bought my great grandchildren in the future looking back at me. i don't think they'll respect me if i just say to politicians you should do something i feel that that i should do something. yeah well one of the problems is a lot of people are now beginning to not because they're afraid they're going to get blamed by their our children or grandchildren because they love their children and grandchildren and they want them to health the kind of world that we have and
7:32 am
so they want to do something and unfortunate. lee what they usually do is decide what i'll do the things that i think need to happen well that's all well and good except how do you get the other 7000000000 people to do it you think i can be an example for the other so well it's like you say you say ok i'm right i'm going to use my car anymore i'm going to use a bicycle while k. that that reduces your carbon footprint and if you get a 1000000 here france to do that or 10000000 or even a 1000000000. the biggest one of the effects would be to reduce the price of fossil fuels and somebody else will burn them unless you make the price of fossil fuels higher somebody is going to burn them you can look at this situation if everybody in europe the united states decides all this is wrong i'm going to
7:33 am
stop driving my vehicle sync that's going to change things in china. you may hope that you're going to convert everybody in some country to do what's right and then try to use that for moral suasion in other countries well you're not going to do it fast enough to solve the climate problem. it's been 37 years and i still have the same recurring dream it's about my dad
7:34 am
your great great grandfather in my tree my dad comes back. he isn't dead he's just been away. in my dream i'm overcome with happiness and relief it never happened he never died. and then the next moment i am furious with him. how could you have abandoned us. how could you do it why have you been. and in all the trains i have ever had he has never said a word and although i love to see him in my dreams. most hurt. it's a reminder that he really is somewhere far beyond my reach. but the things that can be lost forever. but once they happen. you can never get them back.
7:35 am
let's go a little bit to the dark part we're. going to fear. yeah. how do you deal with it how do i deal with fear. i think my my hope is in action high if i'm not in action with what i believe in with what i value with what i know is right. those can be those idle times are the darkest moments for me are converging to talk about the current crisis but we know we need more. immediate.
7:36 am
opposition. i still feel that. that fear and that darkness. but. when i'm in action when i'm aligned with what i believe and when i'm with other people that. are willing to stand up in this critical and difficult moment together that feeds me that gives me. purpose and meaning and in a way that is not connect. to the outcome and what happened. was
7:37 am
8. i'm on the journey. i set out maybe 30 years ago 40 years ago. now much more than $75.00 now and i set out to really try to do something about the racial problems in iraq. do you have grandchildren call i have a grandson who's 8 years old. do you think do you think about what the world will be like for them all for their children. go your grandchild children . well i do think about it and i would imagine that it will be different in ways that are on imagine and i think there may be some ways that will be imagined. so
7:38 am
i'm just very much on my mind. i sometimes i sometimes feel over caught by the vision no for what the future will be like i think it is i think that it's a very real issue and one of the problems that it's that arises come with allowing despair to really enter into your psyche is that by. and by allowing that you're actually end up hurting the people who logged more. you don't feel fear i don't know clear now that i'm not here why's that just lot of time just.
7:39 am
to say that. there. was. i. in the city and the story there is another little girl and you should meet her
7:40 am
this is the philippines. her mom is kathy from the marshall islands. he is smiling i have 500 applicants from all over the world kathy was chosen to speak at the opening of the climate summit in 2 days' time she will step in front of the leaders of the world to represent the voice of ordinary people. it's so weird my uncle dwight went in for the united nations and he was the 1st draftsman he was one that he's a 1st marshal who speak out against nuclear testing and that was in 1964 i think. and i was thinking about him when i was flying up here i was thinking like what is what was he thinking was he scared you know was didn't feel prepared was in gasoline terrified anything about us you know and i wonder if there's going to be someone down the line who's going to look back at me like that. i'd like to see
7:41 am
hope that they see us fighting you know that we're trying to do everything they can to make you know it's made these changes happen. i'd like to see hope that they see us fighting you know that we're trying to do everything they can to make you know it's made these changes happen. i might even be given you know you know i don't know i'm from not time much time when i'm not in defeat and we're only 2 meters up on the mountain
7:42 am
i'm going to be one of the i'm going to do to be here when i want to. think i'm thinking. let's let's talk about cathy ok let's try look at the whole house i love kathy i do i think we all do here. how was she chosen to speak at the opening of the u.n. climate summit well. the big answers to that question is through openness. so i'm proud to say that the un opened and allowed me to run a process that invited nominations from anyone anywhere. and further supportive to that openness fire providing translations of my invitation. for nominations and all the un languages. and then i got
7:43 am
a call from susan and she was like you're the one who's chosen you're the one who's been all going to help in front of all these heads of state you know your life about to change ourselves like. 1 ok. i was totally shocked and i was super excited and. and then reality set in thank you so much for a man here. i think 3. strands she told me later that her partner said to her whenever she was struggling with this how she could carry this pressure carry this moment and be the representative of global civil society as one young woman from the marshall islands she said that her partner told her that this is bigger than you now. and that was how she registered what she had just stepped up to do. and this is my world because. i want.
7:44 am
to live it. there is a saying that people die twice. once when they physically die and once when nobody recognizes them in a photograph. but that's not true. for the 12 years that i knew my father was a loving caring parent. something that he had not experienced
7:45 am
himself. something better that he wanted to give his own children. what we do can live much longer than us for both good and bad. most people in the world. would say the same they want to leave the world having made a difference and the very thing you so speed for is if given the gift of actually achieving that watch even a fraction of it because i think it's probably only a fraction of what one hopes to to now what does succeed in doing but that fraction is worth it. all. i think if you bring up
7:46 am
a child and as you have brought you'll have your children i think you've done it for them. it's the foundation you can if people that's the most that 30 greatest a parent can have. won t. or anyone to haiti his.
7:47 am
climate change is what you find english of our age leaders of the world i pretend for a living but you do not the people made their voices heard on sunday around the world and the momentum will not so i was just scared i was terrified basically i was just . practicing at a wall and baby was crying she was screaming in the back to which didn't know how i was getting stressed out it was like oh my gosh of the. performance so i was
7:48 am
terrified from the marshall islands these were can be. my family and i have travelled a long way to be here today all the way from the marshall islands you want to perform it's pretty doable because the worst is over for me and i just lose myself in the words. and it happened i would now like to share with you a poem that i have written for my daughter much of philip being a. dear man to philip being oh you are a 7 month old son rise of gummy smile you are bald as an egg and bald as the buddha
7:49 am
you are thighs that are thunder shrieks that are lightning so excited for bananas hugs and our morning walks along the loo coon deer much offended been i want to tell you about that lagoon that lazy lounging in the gloom lounging against the sunrise men say that one day that the goon will devour you they say it will not the shoreline chew at the roots of your bread fruit trees gulp down rows of sea walls and crunch through your island shattered bones they say you your daughter and your granddaughter too will wander rootless with only a passport to call home. dear monster filipino don't cry mommy promises you no one will come and devour you know greedy wail of a company sharking through political seas no backwater bullying of businesses with broken morals no blind folded bureaucracies going to push this mother ocean over
7:50 am
the edge no one's drowning baby no one's moving no one's losing their homeland no one's becoming a climate change refugee. or should i say no one else to the carteret islanders of popular new guinea and to the taro islanders of fiji i take this moment to apologize to you we are drawing the line here because we baby are going to fight your mommy daddy who would you mind your country and your president to we will all fights. and even though there are those hidden behind platinum titles who like to pretend that we don't exist who like to pretend that the marshall islands to baalu kato bus mall these type when i yawn in the philippines floods of algeria colombia pakistan and all the hurricanes earthquakes and tidal waves didn't they it's. still there are those who still
7:51 am
use cans reaching out this raise the banners unfurling megaphones booming and we are canoe is blocking coal ships we are the radiance of solar villages we are the fresh clean soil of the farmer's past we are teenagers blooming petitions we are family biking cycling reusing engineers building dreaming designing artists painting dancing writing and we are spreading the word and there are thousands out on this street marching hand in hand chanting for change now and they're marching for you baby. they're marching for us because we deserve to do more than just survive we deserve to die. dear much offended being know you are eyes heavy with drowsy weight so just closed those eyes
7:52 am
and sleep in peace because you won't let you down. you'll see. you know kathy hasn't been able to quite take in how rare a standing ovation is in the u.n. general assembly college in trying to explain to her that this hardly ever happens . you know this kind of a meeting where you have a summit and heads of state and their delegations these people have a lot of armor the fact that she got those people with all that armor on to stand
7:53 am
up and feel you know i think that's a miracle. if worse if we're very very close to achieving an ambitious legal agreement. but there's just a few people that haven't shifted yet and they are just people and she contributed changing just one of those mimes because of her performance i mean it's possible and even if it's just one person that's a huge victory. so i'm really grateful to her for bringing a miracle and i got so i got to live it and i got to live it in a really close way and that's amazing i'm not i'll have that for the rest of my life is a memory i mean i would start crying now because. you know if i'm here for 30 or 40 more years. no matter how hard it gets i'll always have this memory.
7:54 am
so you got me again. now it was really really something. wow that was what. you know it's hard it's hard to do that. when you think of your accomplishment. and cathy's accomplishment. what does it make you think about the power of what one person can do. well i you know my favorite quote is by margaret mead never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world indeed it's the only thing that ever has. this story started from last. but there are some things that you can't change.
7:55 am
but i no longer believe. what can one person doing a i mean what difference. what difference can one person make a difference a lot. there's a lot anyway you can do there's so much look at all these these people who've stood up you know march into king jr. they did so much anyone can do a lot doesn't have to be on a global scale and you know it can be a lot for just your community your family everything to somebody and that's doing a lot right there. that i don't know why people don't think they can make changes happen or that they get there can't do anything i don't. i don't believe is it because they think that they have to be a gun. or a market max or martin luther king jr you know they feel they feel like i'm just
7:56 am
really are i'm just now just regular guy yeah i'm pretty sure they're regular people i mean even when i met al gore i was like regular dude pretty ordinary and he know it is think they're like this guy like they're untouchable like you know he they're there it's al gore and then you meet him or you do you know everybody is just ordinary now i just don't. i was seen. as you point basically for something. as we come to the end of the story. i'm hopeful for you and your future. we can each of us pick up the torch. we can make a difference. we
7:57 am
need to extend the love we have for our children and grandchildren a generation further. to the children we will never be. to the world we will not see. and to the things we will not benefit from. it is perfectly possible. and when you look back at us in our generation. i hope it will be with a sense of amazement and pride. that when you turn the last page in europe. we. you will have been able to write the perfect ending to any good story. just when you thought all was lost and hopeless. in the end. it wasn't.
