11:33 am
why have american evangelicals become? is real strong as back or is us president, you'll find the right to stand with israel with no red line. as long as us support continues. is there anything that can stop is real, solve on concept, from going on in? definitely a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line, the of the, the, that, the good down what is, is that i technician, i talked about,
11:34 am
but they should have written it down because the gwinnett, at the time the, the tech is over to the zone live in a condo. so i'm assuming that the . ready the, the not that the for know, the
11:35 am
houses that had been counted by the, with the didn't get the saw that the we have no cross the threshold into human induced climate change. we knew this sort of a long times. they told us what was happening, but not all humans are deeply response for people you met. but the image very, very unusual. they are not the ones who are causing the problem. the daughter would not go to the the. ringback the
11:36 am
. ready the really good now i'm trying to save was and i made it very much. as i said feeling inside though i should have my day. is it a well, it's a good to have in the water. i don't my glass.
11:37 am
mm. okay . just in about the right elevation for, for this right out the to good. yeah, we're river just bought it as a. yeah. this and i think this is like perfect the to louisiana is one of the united states is largest greenhouse gas meeting states. the many people here to climate change, so in addition to being a place that's vulnerable to climate change, it's also an area that contributes to it.
11:38 am
until the 19 ninety's, the united states was responsible for 40 percent of the pollution that was already in the atmosphere. and now china has overtaken the united states in total emissions, but per capita we, we still are bigger polluters, a lot of water. so if you look out over here, you're seeing a lot of holes of water. a lot of this was land a 100 years ago. that's a lot of resistance. changes to the course of the mississippi river is climate change. an intense storm that that of roads, the area a dan, look this can you take of you can see those canals. the those long straight lines. those are canals that were cut in the mars. those are, yeah, those are canals that have been cut in the bars for, for oil and gas exploration. the state as last over nearly 5000
11:39 am
square kilometers worth of land over over the last 100 years. even under the more optimistic scenario, that will be well over a 1000 square kilometers worth of land over the next 50 years. so we're looking at a landscape that is going to remain risking and is going to probably become riskier as a place to live. the need to see the cadillac, i am from watkins parish,
11:40 am
louisiana. they are all my life. it's a beautiful place to live, but it's a community that struggle and hold on to its roots because of sea level rise. coolest by, you know, the climate change and different things. but mostly we're going out to see like the titanic. it's really down. we going from you looking at the whole town? i am the town, there's only one person living in it to meet clackamas parents, was the rich, i'll say they were the riches state independent affairs, because on guess look at the consequences. we take a look at our environment. it's a battle because you constantly fighting the
11:41 am
a storm surge from hurricane and it wouldn't be for that. i think everything would be good of insight and hurricanes sense. so hurricane betsy. that was and 65 i was then i had hurricane camille and 1969. her came on and 85. then i lost everything. was one store. the just amazing street just came up. we came all the way up to the window of the house. we looked like we were sitting in the middle of a river. katrina totally changed the geographics apartments parish forever as far as people and just every single way of life. the
11:42 am
patients from nursing, from hospitals, waiting for plains to take them. well, they simply don't know why i've never seen anything like this before. it's everyone's doing the best that they can. but thousands are still corrode. here at the cities sports arena, the super done, the even countries like the united states with for example, when i read can katrina pick new orleans in the united states some years ago. not a single ritual middle class. the white americans lost their lives. the we're dealing with one of the largest relief efforts in our nation's history and
11:43 am
the federal government role play or 1st priority of course, has the same life. more than 1200 for black people living in the 9th lot of new orleans lost their lights in the richest country in the world. when they saw the hurricane coming, they did not receive the poor people, the lady in a wheelchair, the ladies, the lady land on a floor by the lake. and there is this guy right here, there with more money. always have more options when it comes to to everything, climate really and whether or not you can evacuate e as in economic justice issue because you have to put gas in your tank to leave.
11:44 am
you have to, you know, get a hotel room somewhere else. people with more money have more options to leave when they give a mandatory evacuation, that's what it is. take what you need go because nobody wants to come save. you the it was totally devastated by katrina and it was a round 0 look, every genette there is looking for coughing to tools. i got a brand new able to drive to also do it. and then when he was in a boat, it was still devastation cuz they had just debris everywhere. a tried job and, and that's when you know you're a good drama so you can get through that. the
11:45 am
extra katrina the cemetery was a man, had tuned all over. he didn't know who was his. and i worked in here for months, trying to put people back into the middle of the store. when they come in they talk no mercy on not even a cemetery the the devastation, the dead power stuff. it's the katrina was monumental to its people and communities as far as just wiping out everything just picked you to very quiet. no electricity, nothing. just total silence. the
11:46 am
we don't have community anymore, discharge has to be packed a good alternative up that's all caused from the environmental changes that have occurred. it caused people to move and didn't want to come back and do to go to church and you know, i'm only white women in a church. that's crazy. even if you look at the rich countries which are now being impact about climate change, almost invariably the most vulnerable of people who are suffering now are poor people. in the us, for example, this one is which is, comes in the world and you know, it's 25 percent of the population who live in substandard housing. but it's important to understand that's a, that's climate change is an issue that
11:47 am
a shot through is any policy in multiple respects. and we see it in class terms. first and foremost, i guess most obviously we know that it's the richest that are overwhelming and responsible for, for accessing missions. and so there is a very big disparity amongst who causes the problem and who suffers the consequences they feel abandoned. most of them, she's not fit the depression sets in, you need help. some people need help. so we really have to have a very good place. the,
11:48 am
you know, was to state realize that our cost of land loss was really getting serious. it started pause and we start rebuilding some of those areas that last last they came up with a master plan. one of the projects in the master plan is to rebuild the coast by partially diverting the flow of the mississippi river. that one brings a lot of settlement engine landscape and it would bring a lot of fresh water into the landscape. settlement is how you build land and fresh water carries nutrients. it can push salt water out to see if the plan is fully implemented. you are looking at several 100 square miles worth of land that that would have otherwise been last. and it will reduce fund risk over the life of the project. but every year, by several $1000000000.00,
11:49 am
the we don't have a say. so in the states messed boy, but it's affecting the people of clackamas parish. and some of them don't like it. a settlement is also can clogged up the gills of oysters and settlement can bury and we store the my grandfather arrived here in 19 o. you heard about the hardworking oysters life in clackamas parish, louisiana. they came from a very poor country, didn't have much money in around 1920. he built him with champ, we got his 1st voice to lease back at the time. was just a wild wilderness basically no levies to protect your homes from the river and
11:50 am
stuff. but you don't really need it back them because the land was low higher. the this diversion is, is a bad deal. the basically opened the river 25 miles north of here, and just let the water uncontrollably flood into a crime for steam as to where there's balancing sea food moisture, strep graphs we knew back in, and we know it even more now. the devastating effect this is going to have life just can't. the so healthy living oyster re creates a healthy living coast. you kill off the oysters, you kill off the coast,
11:51 am
we all the canary in the mind. this one mass to massive beast is going to flow tremendous amounts of water. and it's going to take millions of gallons of water to move houses, a settlement. and it's not going to work. and the process is going to kill off all of us. that's a good song. great. so yeah. so we're looking for that's the future idea. you know, we gotta keep the water, right. everything's gotta stay right for that to try. but i'm gonna have to try one of these website people who needs to be my son is a for generation always to the former. they don't have a future here. this thing becomes, comes to like the families been in this business for
11:52 am
a 120 years. approximately it's, it's all we've ever done and it's all i've ever wanted to do. i plan on doing this for the rest of my life. now, i don't know. it's easy to say, oh, i'll just go to do something else, but there's not a lot of other opportunity here. the you realize how many people are employed outside the coast throughout the country. once some of the sea food that we produce here in a barrett's area base, that's going to be totally in isolated. we beg, please, let's come up with an ultimate plan. because this is going to destroy, not only our livelihoods, but our way of life on culture. mother nature always wins. so we always are at her mercy. and we just have to sit back, let us have them try. yeah,
11:53 am
the, there's no necessary contradiction between social object as i like the logical objectives they can and must be accomplished at the same time, we have more than enough energy and resources to ensure a good life for all several times over the i think the global system is broke and therefore a broken system does not solve itself. we're going to have to find new ways. we do not need fossil fuels anymore. it's people knowing what to do, behaving consciously do the right things, or that will help us solve this problem. not by ignoring everybody else, i'm looking after one, so there's a false expectation,
11:54 am
particularly among rich people, that they can survive everything. even rich people are going to be affected by the impacts of climate change and they're going to have to deal with it. so fish behaviors, what got us into this problem association behavior will not get us out of this problem the which hard because as a scientist died during sea level rise and i work at a place that's vulnerable to sea level rise and it's it's hard for percent of 2 adults in south louisiana parishes lost to 4 percent of the population over the last 2 years. that means one and 25 people in several south
11:55 am
louisiana parish has moved out of the account. the schools are closing and if you lose the, the student age population, you're losing the next generation. people that are being born today are going to spend most, if not all of their lives in a world that is warmer than the one that their grand parents grew. up in the question that facing us is not yes, that will happen, but how many people will be impacted and how many people will suffer? the
11:56 am
lot of people who owns and i used to have so many friends. i had so much fun cooking dinners, having people over, we're going delta and i had plenty ducks, you know, but through the years, all that sort of general in a way as we lost environment from storms, we don't have a place to gather anymore. the whole environment's totally different. 2 2 2 2 the, you know, i consider myself, well, i do. everybody thinks i'm rich, but i'm not the, that's the environment is, is it to do everybody's life? it's not just my life. it's everybody's like around the world, the environment changes your life changes. that's
11:57 am
a true fact. the around the world, it seems natural disasters and become a frequent part of life, from floods to droughts and fires is not quite common to hear about extreme weather or destroying infrastructure and most importantly people's lives. the united nation says more natural disasters are coming due to climate change. so is there a need to establish an international agency that specifically deals with such events and would that help the level of the playing field with disasters? can we get out of the site to a certain nurse man's the worst enemy? i'll say hey, go really the same, the fine you know to the end. i'm going to be very due to the
11:58 am
the latest news as it breaks around, han has given a cause that people have just come out in large numbers. the galvanized population a board with detailed coverage, but the reason prices and the realises things are likely to get much worse before they get better is driving some residents to the brain from around the world. people have told us the circumstances is even more important than usual to come together to share the tools they have. these are some of the 1st images from the aerial assessment of co bleaching in the great value range. bleaching occurs by moment. ocean temperatures and pollution force call to expel the algae to get the color range of colors at extreme marine wise over an extended period of time. maybe
11:59 am
some structures have been severely damaged. scientists have declared 2020 for a mass bleaching event. what's happening here on the great fire roof is also happening on rapes around the world. or the last 12 months warming sea surface temperatures have caused bleaching events in the northern hemisphere. and the only near conditions in the pacific have amplified the situation. marine biologist, jodi rama says ocean temperatures are increasing at a rate never seen before. and that's an oven assigned to the biggest crow system in the world. we're seeing this back to back here upon year. the reef needs many years to recover from these heat waves, and it's just not getting a unique perspective. desktop place inception does, told the palestinians to go to on heard voices, to humor. i try to highlight the absurdities inconsistency, but upon proceeding landscape,
