- [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
