- [Mark Finley] Where are we in our fight against climate change?

0:05

We're losing.

0:06

- [Dr. Richard Newell] We have levels of carbon dioxide that are

0:09

as high as they've been in two million years.

0:12

- [Dr. Virginia Burkett] We have changes in the distribution

0:14

of plants and animals,

0:16

increases in wildfire,

0:18

tide gauge records from around the world

0:20

showing acceleration of sea level rise.

0:24

- [Eric Drummond] We are just now at a point

0:25

where climate change is clearly impacting

0:28

virtually every segment of our population.

0:31

When you start to have that happen

0:33

then it becomes clear that it's a call to action.

0:36

- [Mark Finley] We are rapidly running out of space

0:39

to stop adding new greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere

0:43

if we want to limit the adverse consequences

0:46

before the social costs really take off.

0:51

- [Dr. Ramanan Krishnamoorti] We've been very, very slow to realize

0:54

the importance of global climate change.

0:56

What is going well is that there's an awareness

1:00

that is starting to build.

1:04

- [Dr. Michael Webber] The workforce is demanding a low carbon future.

1:07

Major industrial customers are requiring low carbon.

1:10

The investors are starting to demand it.

1:12

The markets have spoken and the markets have said

1:14

we're gonna make this change.

1:16

- [Eric Drummond] We will have to bring into the marketplace

1:19

technologies that aren't in existence now.

1:22

- [Todd Snitchler] Can it be done?

1:23

If we allow innovation to do what it does, yes.

1:27

- [Joy Ditto] A lot of different components are going to have

1:29

to come together, industries, support from government.

1:32

There has to be leadership.

1:34

- [Dr. Ramanan Krishnamoorti] We will have to start doing things at scale

1:36

and try out every one of these approaches.

1:39

We can't afford to get it wrong.

1:42

- [Dr. Isabella Gee] We can become a leader in net zero technologies

1:45

and in decarbonizing technologies.

1:47

And I think that we can grow our economy that way.

1:50

- [Dr. Virginia Burkett] We got ourselves in to this,

1:52

human ingenuity and working together,

1:54

I mean, that's the way out.

1:57

(tense music softens)
