Before the Flood – Trailer | National Geographic

we’ve known about this for decades for
over half a century try to have a
conversation with anyone about climate
change people just – now climate change
climate change and shame and the problem
seems to be getting worse and worse and
worse the truth is the more I’ve learned
about this issue and everything that
contributes to the problem the more I
realize how much I don’t know oh my God
look how violent that is paradise that
has been degraded and destroyed
we’re knowingly doing this
I just want to know how far we’ve gone
and if there’s anything we can do to
stop it
the US has been the biggest emitter of
greenhouse gases in history you’re a
fossil addicted country we are doing
more investment in solar today than the
US
half the people in office still don’t
believe in climate change why do you
think there is such opposition about the
science
I think it’s politics people are so
arrogant to think they can change
climate the environmental issues have
become the biggest reason for mass
demonstrations but we want to hold them
accountable
this is the most important issue of our
time question is can we change our
course in time you need 100 gigafactory
to transition through stainable energy
that would make the united states the
whole world all energy that’s not
stretchable all that i’ve seen on my
journey shows us we had the means of
stopping this devastation politicians do
what the people want them to do once the
American people are convinced the
politicians will fall in line very
quickly
if we keep pushing there’s no reason why
we can’t solve this problem
the world is now watching we asked you
to protect it
are we and all living things we cherish
our history
