Science. 11:41.370 --> 11:43.120 And it is screaming at us. 11:44.010 --> 11:47.120 Warning us. Telling us hopefully to act. 11:48.290 --> 11:53.050 No these 7% of peer reviewed climate studies have confirmed the 11:53.050 --> 11:56.140 climate changes happening that human activity is responsible. 11:57.060 --> 12:00.100 I've been involved as many view have in public policy debates 12:00.100 --> 12:01.020 were logged died. 12:01.860 --> 12:02.790 It's pretty rare. 12:03.590 --> 12:07.660 To get a simple majority or super majority of studies to say 12:07.660 --> 12:08.380 the same fighting. 12:09.140 --> 12:10.490 But donnie seven percent. 12:11.520 --> 12:12.980 Over 20 plus years. 12:14.120 --> 12:17.970 That is a dramatic state but a fact that no one of good conscience. 12:18.550 --> 12:20.830 Or Face. 12:21.630 --> 12:22.850 Should be able to ignore. 12:23.960 --> 12:26.640 Video only half philippa demos reason reports. 12:27.350 --> 12:31.260 To see an all too vivid detail the stark reality that we're faced with. 12:32.100 --> 12:33.730 Scientists agree. 12:35.060 --> 12:38.680 That the a mission of climate bowden is like carbon dioxide methane 12:38.680 --> 12:41.720 search hydro for a gardens all contribute. 12:42.260 --> 12:43.200 To climate change. 12:44.540 --> 12:48.420 It back basic science tells us and light farmer of wouldn't exist. 12:48.980 --> 12:54.450 Appetit heretofore 57 degrees average temperature of Fahrenheit. 12:54.970 --> 12:57.440 Which allows life to exist. 12:58.310 --> 13:01.960 Without a greenhouse effect life. Warden exist in the raise Alice 13:01.960 --> 13:04.540 effect is good enough to provide you with life itself. 13:05.150 --> 13:09.030 Obviously logic suggests that is also gonna act like a greenhouse 13:09.030 --> 13:12.180 if you add more gases and they're trapped and you get up here. 13:12.460 --> 13:13.750 This is pretty logical stuff. 13:14.500 --> 13:17.320 And it's astounding invaded even in the United States senate 13:17.350 --> 13:18.740 elsewhere with people without it. 13:20.270 --> 13:23.910 People agreed that energy sources that we relied on for decades 13:23.910 --> 13:28.340 to few are cars power are owns things like oil and coal are largely 13:28.340 --> 13:31.950 responsible for sending these warming gases up in the atmosphere 13:31.950 --> 13:35.420 and they agreed that a missions coming from before station and 13:35.420 --> 13:39.040 for mattered culture also seven enormous quantities of carbon 13:39.040 --> 13:43.200 pollution indoor atmosphere and they agree that if we continue 13:43.200 --> 13:46.270 down the same path that we are on today the world. 13:47.300 --> 13:47.980 As we know what. 13:48.520 --> 13:52.460 We've changed profoundly anti for change dramatically for the worse. 13:53.540 --> 13:54.490 You don't need. 13:55.310 --> 13:59.060 But ph be to be a machine to yourself that the world is already changing. 13:59.810 --> 14:01.180 You just need to pay attention. 14:02.930 --> 14:06.620 Thirty aim of the former steer warmers two years on record. 14:07.320 --> 14:09.070 Have occurred since the year two thousand. 14:10.150 --> 14:10.990 With to shear. 14:11.570 --> 14:14.950 A gamble on track to be the warmest year of all were hit newsstands 14:15.140 --> 14:18.360 every next year being the warmest year of all tunes almost every 14:18.360 --> 14:19.910 year that happens now. 14:20.620 --> 14:24.390 In 20 13 countries in southern africa bitch very as the worst 14:24.390 --> 14:26.320 droughts of they'd seen in 30 years. 14:26.870 --> 14:30.350 In brazil they saw the first worst drought in half a century. 14:30.910 --> 14:34.730 New Zealand rarely a recently experienced a drought those so 14:34.730 --> 14:38.260 bad that farmers set to slaughter their dairy cattle in sheep 14:38.580 --> 14:41.440 the visited known a food mortar to keep the animals alive. 14:42.110 --> 14:45.070 And the historic drops in some parts of the world of matched 14:45.100 --> 14:48.440 only by historic floods in other parts. 14:48.950 --> 14:53.180 In june of last year india was hit by the worst monsoon flooding 14:53.180 --> 14:57.860 in almost a century nearly six bowels and people lost their lives. 14:58.600 --> 15:02.220 Which really disturbing is that the science has been telling 15:02.220 --> 15:07.610 us mild and clear that this is coming out ups and if we continue 15:07.610 --> 15:13.020 down the cart path the impacts are expected to increase exponentially. 15:13.940 --> 15:14.750 For example. 15:15.750 --> 15:18.700 Scientists predicted by the end of the century to seek of rise 15:18.700 --> 15:19.430 of full meter. 15:20.210 --> 15:23.870 Not had people is said to me a mere doesn't sound like that much 15:23.870 --> 15:25.130 to some people in the to it. 15:25.890 --> 15:31.720 When it comes to a rising sea one meter would displace hundreds 15:31.720 --> 15:33.520 of millions of people world wide. 15:34.040 --> 15:37.700 Cost hundreds of billions of dollars in economic activity. 15:38.110 --> 15:42.380 They would put countless homes and schools and parks entire cities. 15:42.900 --> 15:44.850 And even countries that fresh. 15:46.100 --> 15:49.310 Scientists also predict that climate change could made even longer 15:49.310 --> 15:53.550 more unpredictable monsoon ceiling's see is seasons and more 15:53.870 --> 15:55.550 a extreme weather events. 15:56.060 --> 16:00.000 And why we can't know whether one particular storm is specifically 16:00.000 --> 16:01.450 because by climate change. 16:02.220 --> 16:06.340 Scientists absolutely do predict many more of these disaster 16:06.340 --> 16:09.110 storms a likely to work or a less we. 16:09.690 --> 16:11.320 Stop and reverse course. 16:12.050 --> 16:16.050 Last year I visited talk about I went to the philippines to visit 16:16.080 --> 16:19.010 the site the weight the typhoon Haiyan. 16:19.580 --> 16:22.360 And I will tell you it is incomprehensible that that kind of 16:22.360 --> 16:23.550 storm or worse. 16:24.140 --> 16:25.240 Becomes the norm. 16:26.460 --> 16:28.200 Yet just this past weekend. 16:28.860 --> 16:31.840 That same region of the philippines got slammed by yet. 16:31.840 --> 16:35.440 Another tight food with wins over a hundred miles per hour and 16:35.440 --> 16:36.710 to wrench will down force. 16:37.420 --> 16:40.510 And what is particularly frustrating about the real life damages 16:40.510 --> 16:44.320 being done and the threat of more to come is that it doesn't 16:44.320 --> 16:46.200 have to be. Inevitable. 16:48.890 --> 16:51.810 Nothing suggested there's is another of all human cost. 16:52.530 --> 16:55.200 There's nothing pre ordained about. The course that we're on. 16:55.940 --> 16:58.040 The jet have that's bad habits. 16:58.970 --> 17:02.180 The challenge we face maybe a man's but I can't underscore or 17:02.180 --> 17:05.920 not this is not in german of all. 17:07.170 --> 17:11.470 Mankind is creating a problem in mankind can solve the problem. 17:12.300 --> 17:17.010 And unlike some problems of we face there's one already has a 17:17.010 --> 17:22.290 ready made solution provided by mankind that is staring us in 17:22.460 --> 17:24.530 the face the solution. 17:25.090 --> 17:27.880 To climate change is energy policy. 17:28.970 --> 17:32.430 And there is still time for us to come together is a global community 17:32.860 --> 17:34.850 and make the right energy choices. 17:35.690 --> 17:39.060 We can significantly caada missions of prevent the worst consequences 17:39.060 --> 17:40.440 of climate change from happening. 17:40.980 --> 17:44.630 And anyone of tells you otherwise is just plain wrong period. 17:45.740 --> 17:47.610 The science shows that of this moment. 17:48.160 --> 17:51.900 They're still is a window of shutting its smaller. It's not as 17:51.900 --> 17:52.700 big an opening. 17:53.540 --> 17:55.720 And indeed mitigation this here with us. 17:56.330 --> 17:57.080 As a resolve. 17:57.970 --> 18:02.190 But there is time for us to change force and avoid the worst. Consequences. 18:03.590 --> 18:05.110 The the window is closing quickly. 18:06.470 --> 18:10.240 So we have to approach this global threat with the urgency that 18:10.240 --> 18:10.990 it warrants. 18:11.720 --> 18:13.100 Winners sneakily. 18:13.930 --> 18:15.430 Countries need to step up. 18:16.060 --> 18:19.490 And that means we have to come together rounded ambitious climate 18:19.490 --> 18:21.590 agreement between now and the end of next year. 18:22.180 --> 18:25.010 Let me be clear when Arkansas their reading at this meeting or 18:25.010 --> 18:27.040 even and hours understand that. 18:27.880 --> 18:32.900 But we must Tate giant measurable clear steps forward that will 18:32.900 --> 18:37.810 set us on a new path and that means concrete actions and then 18:37.810 --> 18:39.010 dishes that that's. 18:39.750 --> 18:40.490 As I mentioned. 18:41.140 --> 18:45.110 Just adventure do I have been coming to news conferences for 18:45.110 --> 18:45.780 a long time. 18:46.500 --> 18:48.680 And I know that discussions can be tense. 18:49.320 --> 18:52.040 And the this decisions are about difficult. 18:52.910 --> 18:54.000 And I know how. 18:55.610 --> 18:58.420 Vagaries some people are about the predicament they've been put 18:58.420 --> 19:01.940 in by big nations that benefited from industrial zones for long 19:01.940 --> 19:03.660 period of time. I know the debates. 19:04.280 --> 19:08.160 Over who should do what al hard-fought el complex that their 19:08.160 --> 19:11.510 word hard this with mince off why we go. 19:12.620 --> 19:16.520 But the fact is we simply don't have time to sit around going 19:16.520 --> 19:20.700 back and forth about whose responsibility it is to act pretty simple. 19:20.730 --> 19:24.030 Hopes is everyone's responsibility. 19:24.620 --> 19:27.710 Because it's the net amount of carbon that matters. 19:28.390 --> 19:29.830 Not each country share. 19:31.130 --> 19:34.380 That's certainly the biggest the matters including the United States. 19:35.140 --> 19:38.430 And I'm proud of president obama has excepted that responsibility 19:38.650 --> 19:40.910 half to contribute more to the solution. 19:41.610 --> 19:45.570 But ultimately every nation on earth S2 applied car in science 19:45.570 --> 19:49.090 and make stated the our energy choices in morgan have any hope 19:49.090 --> 19:50.180 of leading our future. 19:52.090 --> 19:53.370 Do the next generation. 19:54.030 --> 19:56.600 To the safe and healthy planet that they desert. 19:57.710 --> 19:58.840 I wanna be very clear. 20:00.520 --> 20:06.330 President obama and I understand the way countries feel particularly 20:06.330 --> 20:07.680 about the major matters. 20:08.320 --> 20:08.980 We got it. 20:09.950 --> 20:13.000 The United States and other industrial nations have contributed 20:13.000 --> 20:14.880 significantly to this problem. 20:15.570 --> 20:19.010 Before I my dad we fully understood the consequences. 20:19.960 --> 20:23.540 And we recognize the responsibility. We have now the lead the 20:23.540 --> 20:24.550 global response. 20:25.550 --> 20:28.710 But that is exactly what the United States is doing. 20:29.750 --> 20:32.370 It's a challenge that president obama has taken on. 20:33.180 --> 20:36.100 And today francs to the president's climate action plan. 20:36.100 --> 20:39.910 The United States is well on its way to meeting our international 20:39.910 --> 20:43.290 commitments to seriously Cod are greenhouse gas emissions by 20:43.290 --> 20:44.070 20 twenty. 20:44.750 --> 20:47.400 And that's because we're going straight to the largest source 20:47.400 --> 20:48.000 of pollution. 20:48.680 --> 20:52.390 Or targeting emissions from transportation and power sources 20:52.680 --> 20:56.830 which account for roughly 60% of the dangers greenhouse gases 20:56.830 --> 21:01.170 that we release and were also taking the attack killing smaller 21:01.170 --> 21:04.450 opportunities in every sector of economy in order to address 21:04.730 --> 21:06.660 every greenhouse gas. 21:07.520 --> 21:10.450 The president is put in place standard justin double the fuel 21:10.450 --> 21:14.060 efficiency of cars and trucks in the American roads. 21:14.930 --> 21:18.000 We've also propose regulations that will curb carbon pollution 21:18.370 --> 21:22.040 coming from new power plants and similar regulations to limit 21:22.040 --> 21:25.150 the carbon pollution coming from power plants that are already 21:25.150 --> 21:29.130 up and running and we're gonna take a bunch of them out of commission. 21:30.170 --> 21:33.110 At the same time since president obama took a first the United 21:33.110 --> 21:37.510 States is opt are wind energy production more than three fold. 21:38.010 --> 21:41.430 And we've upped our solar energy production more than tenfold. 21:42.060 --> 21:45.270 We've also become smarter about the way we use energy in our 21:45.270 --> 21:50.230 homes and businesses and as a result were emitting less overall 21:50.230 --> 21:53.540 that we have at any time in the last 20 years. 21:54.490 --> 21:57.990 This is by far the most ambitious set of climate change actions 21:58.260 --> 22:00.560 that the United States is ever undertaken. 22:01.210 --> 22:04.990 And it's the reason we're able to racially announce our posts 22:04.990 --> 22:11.750 20 20 goal of reducing emissions from 26 to 28% from 2005 levels 22:12.140 --> 22:13.230 by 20 20 five. 22:14.060 --> 22:17.370 Doubt will put us squarely on the road to a more sustainable 22:17.370 --> 22:18.550 and prosperous economy. 22:19.090 --> 22:23.130 And the operandi this target would also enable us to cut our 22:23.130 --> 22:28.830 missions bite 83% by 20 50 which is what science says we need 22:28.830 --> 22:32.710 to do to make the goal of preventing over two degrees of Celsius warming. 22:33.540 --> 22:34.810 We're proud of the start it. 22:35.390 --> 22:37.620 And we're grateful that with the targets the china. 22:38.150 --> 22:42.330 And that he you'll have also announced we now have strong commitments 22:42.330 --> 22:45.710 from the three largest the matters in the world is it enough no. 22:46.580 --> 22:50.490 But it's the beginning which begins to move the economy and begins 22:50.490 --> 22:53.700 to move businesses a move decisions in the direction. We need 22:53.700 --> 22:57.500 to go we're seeing income urging signs already that others are 22:57.500 --> 23:00.290 prepared to follow for example last month. 23:00.930 --> 23:06.340 By Cambodia in did asia a mild Malaysia from a the philippines 23:06.340 --> 23:11.290 singapore thailand and vietnam all announced that the ossie on summit. 23:11.840 --> 23:14.970 The day would come forward with their pose 20 20 emission reduction 23:14.970 --> 23:19.980 contributions will in advance of Paris the and perhaps a possibly 23:19.980 --> 23:21.450 by the end of march next year. 23:22.720 --> 23:24.790 Now I emphasize. Again. 23:28.220 --> 23:30.310 No a single country. 23:31.590 --> 23:33.030 Not even the United States. 23:33.980 --> 23:37.460 Can solve this problem or for this bill alone. 23:38.570 --> 23:39.630 That's not rhetoric. 23:40.810 --> 23:42.890 The usual literally impossible. 23:44.270 --> 23:45.330 Distributed this way. 23:45.930 --> 23:49.070 The for every single American bite to to work. 23:49.940 --> 23:51.300 Or Carpal to school. 23:52.100 --> 23:55.180 And used only solar panels to power their homes. 23:55.950 --> 23:59.080 If we each in america planted a dozen trees. 23:59.660 --> 24:03.480 If we Somali women aided all of our domestic greenhouse gas emissions. 24:03.510 --> 24:04.070 Guess what. 24:05.340 --> 24:08.040 That still wouldn't be enough to offset the carbon pollution 24:08.040 --> 24:10.040 coming from the rest of the world of. Providing. 24:11.980 --> 24:15.430 The same level of damage a different point in time them. We face today. 24:16.640 --> 24:18.540 The same would be true. If china. 24:19.180 --> 24:21.560 Or india came down to zero. Emissions. 24:23.350 --> 24:25.460 If either was the only country to act. 24:26.660 --> 24:31.040 It's just not enough for one country or even a few countries 24:31.460 --> 24:35.680 to reduce emissions when other countries continue to fill the 24:35.870 --> 24:38.550 atmosphere with carbon pollution as they see fit. 24:39.920 --> 24:43.360 The people in one or two major economies failed to respond to 24:43.360 --> 24:43.990 this threat. 24:44.720 --> 24:47.210 It will counteract much of the good work with the rest of the 24:47.210 --> 24:47.990 world does. 24:48.930 --> 24:52.620 And when I say we need a global solution. I mean it. 24:53.140 --> 24:55.590 And there's simply no excuse for anything else. 24:56.600 --> 24:57.470 Now of course. 24:58.160 --> 25:01.850 In Das relies countries have to play a major role in reducing emissions. 25:02.100 --> 25:03.260 But that doesn't mean. 25:03.830 --> 25:06.960 That other nations adjust braided Olaf and repeat the mistakes 25:06.960 --> 25:07.780 of the past. 25:08.630 --> 25:11.280 And that there's some out of are free pass to go to the levels 25:11.280 --> 25:13.920 that we'd been out where we understand the danger. 25:15.040 --> 25:16.130 I know this says. 25:17.390 --> 25:20.070 Difficult for developing nations. We understand that. 25:21.390 --> 25:23.420 But we have to remember that today. 25:24.410 --> 25:28.720 More than half of global emissions more than half. 25:29.270 --> 25:31.140 Are coming from developing nations. 25:32.430 --> 25:34.850 So what is it imperative that they act too. 25:36.020 --> 25:39.480 Then at the end of the day if nations dude shoes the energy sources 25:39.480 --> 25:40.260 of the past. 25:40.910 --> 25:42.800 Over the energy sources of the future. 25:43.580 --> 25:46.380 They'll actually be missing out on the opportunity to build the 25:46.380 --> 25:47.330 kind of economy. 25:47.900 --> 25:51.990 That will be the economy of the future and that will fried and 25:51.990 --> 25:52.880 be sustainable. 25:53.840 --> 25:57.790 Toll a noel maybe cheap way is to power an economy today in the 25:57.790 --> 25:58.500 near term. 25:59.170 --> 26:02.410 But I urge nations around the world the vast majority of whom 26:02.410 --> 26:03.400 are represented here. 26:04.160 --> 26:06.990 At this conference look further down the road. 26:07.770 --> 26:13.730 I urge you to consider the real actual far reaching costs that 26:13.730 --> 26:17.330 come along with what some think is the cheaper alternative. 26:17.570 --> 26:18.690 It's not cheaper. 26:20.090 --> 26:24.350 Are due to think about the economic impacts related to agriculture 26:24.350 --> 26:28.000 and food security and how scientists estimate that the changing 26:28.000 --> 26:32.360 climate is gonna yield a is gonna have reduced the capacity of 26:32.360 --> 26:36.120 crops through produced. No yields a do today and rice are may 26:36.120 --> 26:39.630 user week and they can fall by 2% every single decades. 26:40.820 --> 26:43.730 Think about what that means from millions of farmers around the world. 26:44.240 --> 26:47.360 And the impact of all have an food prices on almost every quarter 26:47.360 --> 26:50.540 of the world and particularly as each decade. We see the world's 26:50.540 --> 26:53.850 population rise forged that nine billion mark. 26:54.830 --> 27:00.340 Then factory and How that would also exacerbate the human challenges 27:00.790 --> 27:01.520 like hunger. 27:02.030 --> 27:02.960 And. Malnutrition. 27:04.610 --> 27:08.130 After that the other term related problems. It come from relying 27:08.130 --> 27:11.830 on twentieth century Seng zhu sources and the fact that air pollution. 27:12.410 --> 27:15.150 Us by the use of fossil fuel contributes to the deaths of at 27:15.150 --> 27:19.020 least four point five million people every year and all the attendant 27:19.020 --> 27:20.480 healthcare caustic go with that. 27:21.350 --> 27:25.570 And and and for everyone thinking that you can afford this transition. 27:26.480 --> 27:29.920 Orange Ashton alternative are renewable energy do the real blast. 27:30.530 --> 27:35.180 On the costs concert or the sizable costs associated with rebuilding 27:35.180 --> 27:37.820 in the weight of every devastating whether a that. 27:38.380 --> 27:42.090 In 20 12 alone extreme weather events cost the United States 27:42.540 --> 27:45.290 a hundred and 10 billion dollars. 27:46.220 --> 27:50.030 When typhoon Haiyan hit the philippines that last year the cost 27:50.030 --> 27:53.380 of responding to the damage exceeded 10 billion dollars. 27:54.060 --> 27:57.810 Even smaller scale disasters. There are a hefty price tag. 27:58.470 --> 28:01.690 And the all recalled cars to businesses from the severe floods 28:01.690 --> 28:04.710 that hit parts of the United kingdom earlier this year was an 28:04.710 --> 28:08.570 estimated one point three billion you start adding up these hundred 28:08.570 --> 28:12.420 billions in 10 begins here and country after country and flake 28:12.420 --> 28:13.600 if that money had been put. 28:14.240 --> 28:18.380 To helping to subsidize transition do a better fuel to an alternative 28:18.380 --> 28:22.260 for renewable to cleaner to and missions free to cling emissions capacity. 28:23.180 --> 28:25.110 Those are just the cost of damages. 28:26.120 --> 28:29.760 Think of the call us for health care due to pollution marge is 28:29.760 --> 28:33.620 single because of young children in america being hospitalized 28:33.620 --> 28:34.760 during our summers. 28:36.430 --> 28:40.580 Is environmentally air induced asthma that those kids suffer. 28:41.540 --> 28:45.400 Yeah ever cultural environmental degradation is palpable. 28:46.100 --> 28:51.250 So my friends it's time for countries to do some real cost accounting. 28:52.230 --> 28:56.320 The bottom line is that we can only factory in the cost of immediate 28:56.520 --> 28:58.820 energy need or energy transition. 28:59.450 --> 29:02.560 We have to factor in the long term cost of carbon pollution. 29:03.180 --> 29:04.950 And we have to factor in the cost. 29:06.080 --> 29:07.140 Survival itself. 29:08.240 --> 29:11.320 But if we do we will find that the cost of pursuing clean energy 29:11.320 --> 29:13.170 doubt is far cheaper. 29:13.770 --> 29:16.750 Than paying for the consequences of climate change later nicholas 29:16.750 --> 29:19.840 stern showed us that the study any number of years ago. 29:21.290 --> 29:24.940 And we stood out you to get our all of our countries more serious 29:24.940 --> 29:26.190 about doing that accounting. 29:27.170 --> 29:29.240 In economic terms bottom live. 29:30.140 --> 29:31.560 In economic terms. 29:32.270 --> 29:33.430 This is not a choice. 29:34.120 --> 29:36.510 Between bad and worse. 29:37.200 --> 29:37.970 Not at all. 29:39.050 --> 29:41.030 This is a choice between growing. 29:41.720 --> 29:43.110 Or shrinking your economy. 29:44.240 --> 29:47.270 And what we don't hear enough. Olive is the most important news 29:47.270 --> 29:47.800 of all. 29:48.430 --> 29:53.370 That climate change presents. One of the greatest economic opportunities 29:53.370 --> 29:55.000 of all time on earth. 29:55.760 --> 29:58.650 I said arrowroot earlier that the solution to climate changes 29:58.650 --> 30:02.040 is clears the problems here the solution is energy policy. 30:02.260 --> 30:03.340 Well let's take a look at that. 30:04.130 --> 30:06.550 The global energy market of the future. 30:07.360 --> 30:10.860 His voice to be the largest market the world has ever known. 30:12.930 --> 30:15.690 The market which grew the United States of america during the 30:15.690 --> 30:19.760 19 nineties when we got unprecedented wealth creation more wealth 30:19.760 --> 30:23.160 creation in america in the 19 nineties that in the 19 twenties 30:23.390 --> 30:27.150 when we had no income tax and you've heard of the names of rockefeller 30:27.150 --> 30:30.910 and Carnegie in melon and so forth. More it was created the 19 30:30.910 --> 30:34.730 nineties every Quinn trial of our income earners what up. 30:35.380 --> 30:36.170 In their income. 30:37.880 --> 30:38.360 Here's what. 30:39.130 --> 30:40.790 It was a one trillion dollar market. 30:42.570 --> 30:44.060 Was one billion users. 30:44.670 --> 30:46.890 It was a computer EyeTech mobile device. 30:48.320 --> 30:50.070 The energy market today. 30:50.720 --> 30:52.430 This is six trillion dollar market. 30:53.200 --> 30:56.440 With four five billion users today and he's gonna go walked about 30:56.440 --> 30:57.560 nine begin users. 30:58.440 --> 31:01.950 By comparison it you look at the differential. 31:03.020 --> 31:06.720 This is an opportunity to put millions of people the work building 31:06.720 --> 31:10.350 the infrastructure doing the transition at polling us back from 31:10.350 --> 31:14.850 the spray between known 20 35 investment in the energy sector 31:14.850 --> 31:18.630 is expected to reach nearly 17 trillion dollars. 31:19.760 --> 31:23.190 And that's without us getting some of the price signals that 31:23.190 --> 31:26.180 we out of the giving to the marketplace to make this transition. 31:26.790 --> 31:30.710 It's more than the entire GT P of china and india come buying. 31:31.510 --> 31:35.200 Imagine the opportunities for clean energy innovation imagine 31:35.200 --> 31:38.500 the businesses that could be launched the jobs are being created 31:38.530 --> 31:40.130 every corner of the ball. 31:40.790 --> 31:43.100 The only question is are we gonna do it fast enough. 31:43.700 --> 31:44.690 To make the difference. 31:45.990 --> 31:49.650 The technology is out there make no mistake it's out there now. 31:50.350 --> 31:52.430 None of this is beyond our capacity. 31:53.020 --> 31:55.770 And the question that it really is still open to question is 31:55.770 --> 31:58.070 why we're here that's why we're gonna parents. 31:58.660 --> 32:02.070 Is whether or not it's beyond our collective was all. 32:03.670 --> 32:04.450 Ask yourself. 32:05.900 --> 32:10.740 ID al Gore and and and and doctor jude Shaw radion. Jenna answered 32:10.740 --> 32:13.900 in the people we've been putting the science out there for years 32:14.190 --> 32:15.500 are wrong about this. 32:17.380 --> 32:20.280 And we make these choices to do the things I'm talking about 32:20.480 --> 32:23.930 what's the worst thing that can happen to us from making these choices. 32:24.610 --> 32:26.210 Crane all bunch a new jobs. 32:26.960 --> 32:30.400 Take our economies in big year have healthier people reduce the 32:30.400 --> 32:31.490 cost of health care. 32:32.020 --> 32:34.580 Live up to our environmental responsibilities. 32:35.180 --> 32:38.270 Have a world is more secure or because we have energy that is 32:38.270 --> 32:41.000 independent and one part of the world or another. 32:41.870 --> 32:44.830 And That's the worst that can happen to us. 32:46.400 --> 32:49.280 The what happens if a climate skeptics are wrong.. Catastrophe. 32:51.300 --> 32:55.140 Catastrophe. And we have a responsibility. 32:55.650 --> 32:59.010 To put in place the cautionary principal when you're given certain 32:59.010 --> 33:01.350 evidence and you're a public official. 33:02.170 --> 33:04.780 So today I call on all of you. 33:05.570 --> 33:06.250 Here in Lima. 33:06.970 --> 33:11.770 Negotiators diplomat scientists economists and concerns citizens 33:12.200 --> 33:14.090 in pyro in around the world. 33:14.750 --> 33:17.550 To demanded resolve from your leaders. 33:18.190 --> 33:22.300 Speak out to make climate change an issue that no public official 33:22.300 --> 33:26.250 can't ignore or even one more day let alone for one more election. 33:26.940 --> 33:30.670 Make a transition towards clean energy the only policy that you'll 33:30.670 --> 33:31.160 which set. 33:31.790 --> 33:35.400 And make it clear that an ambitious agreement empower us is not 33:35.400 --> 33:37.910 an option it's an urgent necessity. 33:38.940 --> 33:39.890 Waking gap there. 33:40.940 --> 33:43.920 How do I know that that I do I believe we can get there. 33:44.650 --> 33:46.730 Because of the end of the day we have no choice. 33:47.640 --> 33:51.350 And because we're starting to see signs that thankfully more 33:51.380 --> 33:54.180 and more of the world is coming to the same conclusion. 33:55.100 --> 33:56.230 Yeah we have to look. 33:57.350 --> 34:00.450 But the United States and china to understand what I'm talking about. 34:01.240 --> 34:04.440 Our two nations are the world's largest consumers of energy. 34:05.010 --> 34:08.340 And we are the world's largest a matters of global greenhouse gases. 34:08.920 --> 34:12.180 Together we account for roughly 40% of the worlds of missions. 34:12.840 --> 34:16.230 And it's no secret that we've had very different views. 34:16.930 --> 34:18.400 When it comes to climate change. 34:19.040 --> 34:23.020 I can remember discussions with chinese 15 10 years ago that 34:23.020 --> 34:24.170 went nowhere. 34:25.290 --> 34:26.830 But in beijing last month. 34:27.510 --> 34:30.740 By the privilege of joining president obama was the stood next 34:30.740 --> 34:35.940 to president xi to jointly side-by-side announce. Our respective 34:35.940 --> 34:38.640 ambitious pose 20 20 mitigation commitments. 34:39.160 --> 34:42.310 And to call in other countries come forward with their own ambitious 34:42.310 --> 34:46.580 targets as quickly as possible. So we can kung-fu distraught 34:46.580 --> 34:47.700 agreement next year. 34:48.380 --> 34:49.740 The United States and china. 34:50.630 --> 34:54.950 Two countries Wal regarded as the leaders of opposing camps in 34:54.950 --> 34:59.040 these negotiations have now filed common ground on this issue. 35:00.050 --> 35:02.130 That is a historic milestone. 35:02.750 --> 35:06.640 And it just send a clear message to all of us that the roadblocks 35:06.640 --> 35:10.620 we've hit for decades can be removed from our past. 35:11.300 --> 35:14.800 Uh not suggest is to happen in one fell swoop with that it's easy. 35:16.030 --> 35:17.620 There was an of person are miserable. 35:18.220 --> 35:20.490 Probably isn't three tuned and al harder this. 35:21.340 --> 35:22.560 But I am confident. 35:23.360 --> 35:26.600 We can rise above the debates that of drag us down. 35:27.180 --> 35:30.820 We can find a way to summon the shared where's all that we need 35:30.820 --> 35:33.680 to tackle the shared threat and if we do that. 35:34.550 --> 35:35.970 Then we will reach an agreement. 35:36.530 --> 35:40.270 We will meet this challenge that it is our charge in for the 35:40.270 --> 35:44.670 sake of our children our grandchildren and our responsibility 35:44.670 --> 35:50.230 is human beings on this earth dish is a charge we must keep thank 35:50.230 --> 35:50.930 you very much..
