The 1975 - The 1975[00:00:00]
We are right now in the beginning of[00:00:26]
A climate and ecological crisis[00:00:28]
And we need to call it what it is an emergency[00:00:32]
We must acknowledge that we do not[00:00:40]
Have the situation under control[00:00:42]
And that we don't have all the solutions yet[00:00:44]
Unless those solutions mean that[00:00:48]
We simply stop doing certain things[00:00:50]
We must admit that we are losing this battle[00:00:54]
We have to acknowledge that the older generations have failed[00:00:59]
All political movements in their present form have failed[00:01:05]
But Homo sapiens have not yet failed[00:01:11]
Yes we are failing[00:01:20]
But there is still time to turn everything around[00:01:23]
We can still fix this[00:01:27]
We still have everything in our own hands[00:01:30]
But unless we recognise the overall failures[00:01:34]
Of our current systems[00:01:37]
We most probably don't stand a chance[00:01:39]
We are facing a disaster of unspoken sufferings[00:01:48]
For enormous amounts of people[00:01:52]
And now is not the time for speaking politely[00:01:55]
Or focusing on what we can or cannot say[00:01:59]
Now is the time to speak clearly[00:02:03]
Solving the climate crisis is the greatest[00:02:08]
And most complex challenge[00:02:11]
That Homo sapiens have ever faced[00:02:14]
The main solution however[00:02:18]
Is so simple that even a small child can understand it[00:02:20]
We have to stop our emissions of greenhouse gases[00:02:26]
And either we do that or we don't[00:02:30]
You say that nothing in life is black or white[00:02:36]
But that is a lie a very dangerous lie[00:02:39]
Either we prevent a 1 5 degree of warming[00:02:44]
Or we don't either we avoid setting off[00:02:48]
That irreversible chain reaction beyond human control[00:02:52]
Or we don't either we choose to go on as a civilisation[00:02:56]
Or we don't that is as black or white as it gets[00:03:02]
Because there are no grey areas when it comes to survival[00:03:09]
Now we all have a choice[00:03:19]
We can create transformational action[00:03:22]
That will safeguard the living conditions[00:03:24]
For future generations[00:03:27]
Or we can continue with our business as usual and fail[00:03:29]
That is up to you and me[00:03:35]
And yes we need a system change rather than individual change[00:03:38]
But you cannot have one without the other[00:03:44]
If you look through history[00:03:48]
All the big changes in society have been started[00:03:49]
By people at the grassroots level people like you and me[00:03:53]
So I ask you to please wake up[00:04:00]
And make the changes required possible[00:04:02]
To do your best is no longer good enough[00:04:08]
We must all do the seemingly impossible[00:04:12]
Today we use about[00:04:17]
100 million barrels of oil every single day[00:04:19]
There are no politics to change that[00:04:25]
There are no rules to keep that oil in the ground[00:04:29]
So we can no longer save the world by playing by the rules[00:04:33]
Because the rules have to be changed[00:04:38]
Everything needs to change and it has to start today[00:04:41]
So everyone out there[00:04:47]
It is now time for civil disobedience[00:04:49]
It is time to rebel[00:04:53]
