5:21 pm
is that this thing is a tough place to do the original it's a poet who cannot. read to finish the will of play but i guess legal so there's. one day when you are a few years old enough you will fall in love and some. of this i am absolutely certain. i'm sure it will be magical wherever it happens. thank you in a poem but the bottom of the disused gold mine.
5:22 pm

5:23 pm

5:24 pm
a saw what i did i was the boss through each thought i was this again but it was time for. body guess. was a reason i'm not must here now mr just foster a discussion out social it's a bit he she just what you got. as opposed to get it she said one who. never. every day in this region 1000 train cars on loaded with coal and transported to cities in russia germany and china. the same cold provides the heat and the electricity for my own city and friends. there are still enough coal here to last another 100 years. well into your lifetime.
5:25 pm
extra. to last for its part. says there was a. thing called colombia rum torrens. 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 or their grandchildren will see you.
5:26 pm
well they might think gee what took you so i guess started. but i think in my case i'm you know i work in sard 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 personally i'm not worried about that i think the 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 pan you know it we still have a out. of turn attempts is still the paleness on what happens especially in the
5:27 pm
next decade. in some sands 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. 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 back work 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
5:28 pm
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 sooner. or young people will bear the consequences. his soul 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 into work it's just ocean on either side of all the time. and dangerous very very dangerous yeah. yeah we you know
5:29 pm
a lot of marshallese for is believed to have a lot of respect for the ocean because you know i can take lives away in the 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 it did mention us and 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 out of baby into or like carry 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.
5:30 pm
thanks. to. the i. a small part of the changes you will see already do. 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 will be does will make the decisions that shape your future. it's.
5:31 pm
just. such so seewald. but i hope that you remember as you go across the country that is 150 of you and there's 150000000 people all around the world who think like we do and you are the biggest. i know that we're calling this the kind of the same we should also call that the oil industry's worst nightmare. i'll see you on the yard thanks or. thanks mike. 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
5:32 pm
problems is a lot of people are now beginning to not because they're afraid they're going to get blamed by their. children or grandchildren because they love their children and grandchildren and they want them to have the kind of world that we have and so they want to do something and unfortunate. really 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 do you think i can be an example for the others while it's like you say you say ok i'm a i'm going to use my car anymore i'm where i use a bicycle while k. that that reduces your carbon footprint and if you get a 1000000 a year frails to do that or 10000000 or even
5:33 pm
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 and united states decides all this is wrong i'm going to 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 salsa climate problem.
5:34 pm
it's been 37 years and i still have the same recurring dream it's about my dad you know 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 happens and relief it never happen you never died. and then the next moment i am furious with him. how could you have abandoned us. how could you do it. where have you been. and in all the tree i have ever heard he has never said a word and although i love to see him in my dreams. i am most hurt.
5:35 pm
it's a reminder that he really is somewhere far beyond my reach. but there are things that can be lost forever. that once they happen. you can never get them back. let's go a little bit to the dark part. and to fear. yeah. how do you do with it how do i deal with fear. i think my my hope is in action i if i'm. in
5:36 pm
action with what i believe in with what i though you with what i know is right. those can be those i don't times are are the darkest moments for me are converging to talk about the current crisis but we know we need more. immediate. opposition. i still feel. 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 different. moment together that feeds me that gives me. purpose and meaning and in a way that is not connected to the outcome of what happened. was
5:37 pm
5:38 pm
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 the mission to me i think there may be some ways that will be a match and. also i'm just very much on my mind. i sometimes i sometimes feel over by the vision know 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 with allowing despair to really enter into your psyche is that by. by allowing that you're actually end up hurting the people who love devotion.
5:39 pm
5:40 pm
in the city and the story there is another little girl i knew should me time this is not the philippines. a mom is kathy from the marshall islands. he is smiling i have 500 up to comes from all over the world because he 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 was a 1st marshal used to speak out against nuclear testing and that was in 1964 i
5:41 pm
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 did he feel prepared was he gabs really 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 hope that they see us fighting you know that we're trying to do everything we can to make you know 20 changes happen. i. might even be giving you know you know why don't you run from the march on how much time did you not in defeat and we're only 2 meters up on the mountain.
5:42 pm
would be one of the i'm going to do to be here when i want to. let's let's talk about cathy ok let's talk about kathy 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 u.s. opened and the 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 in all the un languages. and then i got off for susan and she was
5:43 pm
like your the one who's chosen you're the one who's going to hold it you're helping in front of all these heads of state you know your last about to change i just was like. ok if you'd just i was totally shocked and i was super excited and. and then reality set in thank you so much for granted here i don't think for you i think the. strengths and she told me later that afternoon 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 are now. and that was how she registered what she had just stepped up to do. you know this is my duty as a. child i was
5:44 pm
5:45 pm
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 to very few of those speeds or is it given the gift of actually achieving that watch even a fraction of because i think it's probably only a fraction of what one hopes to not one does succeed in doing but that fraction is worth it.
5:46 pm
5:47 pm

5:50 pm

5:51 pm
us hands 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 continue blooming petitions we are family biking cycling using engineers building dreaming designing artists painting dancing writing and we are spreading the word and there are thousands out on the streets marching hand in hand chanting for chain . 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. here much offended being know you are eyes heavy with jobs you wait so just close
5:52 pm
those eyes and sleep in peace because you won't let you down you'll see. thank . you no cracked the house and been able to quite take in how rare standing ovation is in the un general assembly call and trying to explain to her that this hardly ever happens. in 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
5:53 pm
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 minds 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 to i got to live it and i got to live in a really close way and that's amazing and i'll have that for the rest of my life as 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.
5:54 pm
so she got me again. you know it was really really something. wow that was a lot. 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. 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.
5:55 pm
but i no longer believe for. what can person doing. i mean what difference. what difference can one person make a difference a while. there's a lot anybody can do there's so much look at all these these people who stood up you know marginal to king jr. they did so much anyone can do a lie it doesn't have to be on a global scale if they're you know it can be a lot for just your community or your family if you mean everything to somebody and that's doing a lot right there. there i don't know why people don't think they can make changes happen or that they can't they can't do anything i don't. i don't believe there is it because they think that they have to be a gun. or a malcolm x. or martin luther king jr you know don't they feel they feel like i'm just me are
5:56 pm
