the climate change is the single most
important problem that we’re going to
deal with in our lifetime and this I
mean isn’t particularly surprising to
anyone who pays attention but you are
kind of dealing in the book with more
the politics involved can you just
explain this to us a little bit we kind
of know what happens physically at
various you know one degree hotter two
degrees hotter but what hasn’t got a lot
of attention is what happens politically
what happened strategically for example
Australia is the driest continent so if
it’s going to be the effect of this sort
that’s where you’d effective a shawl
first and they are showing up or at
least that’s what Australians are coming
to think they’re in the seventh year
what they call the big dry they’re
beginning to suspect and they’re pretty
well convinced that this is not an
ordinary drop because the droughts and
right maybeee this is climate change in
which case this is the new normal and
we’re we’re not going back to what
normally happens at the end of drought 3
is not coming back that huge export
industry that was inland Australia
murray-darling Basin it’s on where they
grew the weed and on the other grain
that they exported that have asia with
these out of commission indonesia and
the philippines which can write north of
Australia they’re going to be drying out
too and so the Australians have just
actually bought a whole new fleet of
ocean-going patrol vessels because they
can see waves of people fleeing south
from farms and no longer produce to
Australia where there might be work take
two or three more regions out and you
got an overall world food shortage mr.
Obama is promising to get the us back to
1990 levels of
by 2020 there may be plenty of room for
debate as to how we transition from
fossil fuels to renewable fuels we all
understand there’s no silver bullet to
do it but there’s no question that we
must do all these things and he’s
promising eighty percent cuts American
emissions by 2050 the game’s over by
2030 that’s way too late guys what
you’re promising is that you won’t be
worse than you were you know 20 years
ago if you give it if you give us
another 10 years that’s not good enough
are people sufficiently scared if you go
somewhere above two degrees but probably
well before three you start melting the
permafrost an enormous amounts of carbon
dioxide and methane which is even worse
guys for warming come out I mean there’s
enough carbon dioxide locked up in the
permafrost to double the amount of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere now
these are feedbacks and can’t throw you
can’t cool calm permafrost back down you
can’t Julio shins here expect down you
could get your own emissions down to
zero sometime later and it wouldn’t stop
the warming because it’s taken over
nature natural processes so you know for
those two reasons you mustn’t go past we
talk so there is a deadline we need
people to be scared because you know
fear moves people it got you don’t get
some moving and we do need to move
pretty fast on this stone
