This is my great grandfather. And this is my grandmother with her my father. And this is me. This is your great grandmother. And these boys are your great uncle simon and your grandfather benjamin. And here is your grandfather with his grandmother. Right now and the idea of being a grandfather couldnt be further from bench is mine. And of course there are no guarantees in life. But when it comes to you. Thats an uncertainty that we choose to ignore. Choose to believe that after us there will be others. And so i hope is that as the years will pounce and we grow older. But as there will be down. There will also be long. And sometime in the 2016. My great granddaughter. I think of you often and the changes to come. I know i couldnt have changed what happened in my past. But i only wish i knew how to help you in your life. And by the time you are 5 i will be a 101. 00. So even though i know its very unlikely we will ever meet. I still like to live in the hope that we could. You are my future. And i am your boss. And you are with me as i look for a nonce. Difference i make for you. Journey together continues with something that i see every day. And that reminds me of you on the challenges ahead. Its the stuff that is such a central and mostly invisible part of our lives. We are no way to a coal mine and siberia just one of the many places the produces the fossil fuels that connects me and every other post on this planet to cancel. The. Length. To. Play play. Plenty say yes for still serious story. Is to bring it up with a yes real clotilde could be as familiar to speech the. Islands of its head. Of the school. Was and was a mock up of the test that youre. Upset. Here get on. The way you would wish now when in a. Storm. The internet news and. Some of your all the books because our Computers Officer will. Play a torch for us to use the same in other words its original employ such as it. Is that this thing is a tough place to do the original its a poet who cannot. Read to finish the will of play but i guess legal so theres. One day when you are a few years old enough you will fall in love and some. Of this i am absolutely certain. Im sure it will be magical wherever it happens. Thank you in a poem but the bottom of the disused gold mine. I really want to buy that got my novel and. I thought people i do too but of course will. Know that. If i dont follow. It it may be good and it can be but the definition only. Says again you knew some of them were the september. The dumb but the investor and you couldnt duplicate it and still cook when the next time say. Youre just stood in the in the saddam. To do things to set up music when you dont come so slide when the most i dont know is im stoned i would get on the ball is not good to do you did so good when i dont want to didnt tell me wasnt that of whats going to stop so you need. For. This looming it would yield the wordsworth it doesnt keep it started in the stadium i was told this morning is i work miserably and you tell me you could please.

The gun with a so i just. As a them with a saw what i did i was the boss through each thought i was this again but it was time for. Body guess. Was a reason im not must here now mr just foster a discussion out social its a bit he she just what you got. As opposed to get it she said one who. Never. Every day in this region 1000 train cars on loaded with coal and transported to cities in Russia Germany and china. The same cold provides the heat and the electricity for my own city and friends. There are still enough coal here to last another 100 years. Well into your lifetime. Extra. To last for its part. Says there was a. Thing called colombia rum torrens. The next person i want you to meet is someone i admire very much hes one of the worlds most respected climate scientists. In 1908 brought the real dangers of Climate Change to the worlds attention. How do you think your grandchildren or or their grandchildren will see you. Well they might think gee what took you so i guess started. But i think in my case im you know i work in sard now that at least they know that in the latter part of my life i was really trying so i dont think they will blame me personally im not worried about that i think the people who should be worried about that are the people who deny the reality of Climate Change even though the science has become clear. What you can expect in the middle of the century in the 2nd half century the pan you know it we still have a out. Of turn attempts is still the paleness on what happens especially in the next decade. In some sands weve passed already some of the tipping points were going to have some climate impacts which are greater than what we see already. Theres the potential that thanks could really go downhill that the costs of Climate Change will become so large that the economies will really go back work well if not collapse at least become much less well to do. No matter how badly we mess up this planet its still worth saving whats left and most of it is still left so of course there is every every reason to try to stay positive and try to get some action that will work in the right sounds but it had better be sooner. Or young people will bear the consequences. His soul the ocean i think thats definitely the biggest part of being marshallese and these part of being an islander is just that ocean presence. And its just you know even just driving into work its just ocean on either side of all the time. And dangerous very very dangerous yeah. Yeah we you know a lot of marshallese for is believed to have a lot of respect for the ocean because you know i can take lives away in the moment. I didnt want to follow the news anymore on climate because it was just so disheartening all of the news. It would barely mention us if it did mention us and then when i did mention us it was comparing us to like so atlanta is its not like what should we do to help them its all about well this is going to happen and you know poor marshallese people. Also when i look at my daughter you know shes just a baby what am i going to do tell her give up you know you dont want to yell out of baby into or like carry your baby and tell her that everythings going to nothings going to work out you want to comfort her you want to make them feel better and you want to believe that things will get better. Thanks. To. The i. A small part of the changes you will see already do. Simple toss. In the Marshall Islands and also here in california where 5 schools by the us drive to the States History blankets the landscape and smart. We are on our way to a Climate Summit in new york. Where will be does will make the decisions that shape your future. Its. Just. Such so seewald. But i hope that you remember as you go across the country that is 150 of you and theres 150000000 people all around the world who think like we do and you are the biggest. I know that were calling this the kind of the same we should also call that the oil industrys worst nightmare. Ill see you on the yard thanks or. Thanks mike. When i think of bought my great grandchildren in the future looking back at me. I dont think theyll respect me if i just say to politicians you should do something i feel that that i should do something. Yeah well one of the problems is a lot of people are now beginning to not because theyre afraid theyre going to get blamed by their. Children or grandchildren because they love their children and grandchildren and they want them to have the kind of world that we have and so they want to do something and unfortunate. Really what they usually do is decide what ill do the things that i think need to happen well thats all well and good except how do you get the other 7000000000 people to do it do you think i can be an example for the others while its like you say you say ok im a im going to use my car anymore im where i use a bicycle while k. That that reduces your Carbon Footprint and if you get a 1000000 a year frails to do that or 10000000 or even a 1000000000. The biggest one of the effects would be to reduce the price of fossil fuels and somebody else will burn them unless you make the price of fossil fuels higher somebody is going to burn them you can look at this situation if everybody in europe and United States decides all this is wrong im going to stop driving my vehicle sync thats going to change things in china. You may hope that youre going to convert everybody in some country to do whats right and then try to use that for moral suasion in other countries well youre not going to do it fast enough to salsa climate problem. Its been 37 years and i still have the same recurring dream its about my dad you know great great grandfather in my tree my dad comes back. He isnt dead hes just been away. In my dream im overcome with happens and relief it never happen you never died. And then the next moment i am furious with him. How could you have abandoned us. How could you do it. Where have you been. And in all the tree i have ever heard he has never said a word and although i love to see him in my dreams. I am most hurt. Its a reminder that he really is somewhere far beyond my reach. But there are things that can be lost forever. That once they happen. You can never get them back. Lets go a little bit to the dark part. And to fear. Yeah. How do you do with it how do i deal with fear. I think my my hope is in action i if im. In action with what i believe in with what i though you with what i know is right. Those can be those i dont times are are the darkest moments for me are converging to talk about the Current Crisis but we know we need more. Immediate. Opposition. I still feel. That fear and that darkness. But. When im in action when im aligned with what i believe and when im with other people that. Are willing to stand up in this critical and different. Moment together that feeds me that gives me. Purpose and meaning and in a way that is not connected to the outcome of what happened. Was. A morning journey. I had set out maybe 30 years ago 40 years ago. Now much more that im 75 now and i set out to really try to do something about the racial problem general. Do you have grandchildren call i have a grandson whos 8 years old. Do you think do you think about what the world will be like for them all for their children. Go your grandchild children. Well i do think about it and i would imagine that it will be different in ways that are on the mission to me i think there may be some ways that will be a match and. Also im just very much on my mind. I sometimes i sometimes feel over by the vision know for what the future will be like i think it is i think that its a very real issue and one of the problems that its that arises with allowing despair to really enter into your psyche is that by. By allowing that youre actually end up hurting the people who love devotion. And. You dont feel fear i dont go here no thats not fair why is that since lot of time. I could say that. I. Was. In the city and the story there is another little girl i knew should me time this is not the philippines. A mom is kathy from the Marshall Islands. He is smiling i have 500 up to comes from all over the world because he was chosen to speak at the opening of the Climate Summit. In 2 days time she will step in front of the leaders of the world to represent the voice of ordinary people. Its so weird my uncle dwight went in for the United Nations and he was the 1st draftsman he was one that he was a 1st marshal used to speak out against Nuclear Testing and that was in 1964 i think and i was thinking about him when i was flying up here i was thinking like what is what was he thinking was he scared you know was did he feel prepared was he gabs really terrified anything about us you know and i wonder if theres going to be someone down the line whos going to look back at me like that. Id like to see hope that they see us fighting you know that were trying to do everything we can to make you know 20 changes happen. I. Might even be giving you know you know why dont you run from the march on how much time did you not in defeat and were only 2 meters up on the mountain. Would be one of the im going to do to be here when i want to. Lets lets talk about cathy ok lets talk about kathy i love kathy i do i think we all do here. How was she chosen to speak at the opening of the u. N. Climate summit well. The big answers to that question is through openness. So im proud to say that the u. S. Opened and the allowed me to run a process that invited nominations from anyone anywhere. And further supportive to that openness fire providing translations of my invitation. For nominations in all the un languages. And then i got off for susan and she was like your the one whos chosen youre the one whos going to hold it youre helping in front of all these heads of state you know your last about to change i just was like. Ok if youd just i was totally shocked and i was super excited and. And then reality set in thank you so much for granted here i dont think for you i think the. Strengths and she told me later that afternoon partner said to her whenever she was struggling with this how she could carry this pressure carry this moment and be the representative of Global Civil Society as one young woman from the Marshall Islands she said that her partner told her that this is bigger than you are now. And that was how she registered what she had just stepped up to do. You know this is my duty as a. Child i was a little bit. There is a saying that people die twice. Once when they physically die and once when nobody recognizes them in the photograph. But thats not true. For the 12 years that i knew my father was a loving caring parent. Something that he had not experienced himself Something Better that he wanted to give his own children. What we do can live much longer than us for both good and bad. Most people in the world. Would say the same they want to leave the world having made a difference and to very few of those speeds or is it given the gift of actually achieving that watch even a fraction of because i think its probably only a fraction of what one hopes to not one does succeed in doing but that fraction is worth it. I think if you bring up a charge. And as you have brought youll have your children i think youve done it for them. Its the foundation you can if people have thats the most thats the greatest they apparently have. I was. Climate change as such of finding issues of our age leaders of the world i pretend for a living but you do not. The people made their voices heard on sunday around the world and the moment so i was just scared i was just terrified basically i was just. Practicing at a wall and baby was crying and she was screaming in the back to which didnt know how i was getting stressed out because i was like oh my gosh of the baby but after the performance so i was terrified from the Marshall Islands please welcome can be. My family and i have traveled a long way to be here today all the way from the Marshall Islands you want to perform its pretty cool because the worst is kind of take over for me and i just lose myself in the words and it happened i would now like to share with you a poem that i have written for my daughter much of filipino. Dear ma to philip being. You are a 7 month old son rise of smile you are bald as an egg and bald as the buddha you are thighs that are thunder streets that are lightning so excited for bananas hugs and our morning walks along the loop. Dear much offended being oh i want to tell you about that lagoon that lazy lounge in the goon lounging against the sunrise men say that one day that the goon will devour you they say it will not the shoreline chew at the roots of your bread fruit trees gulp down rows of the walls and crunch through your island shattered bones they say you your daughter and your granddaughter 2 will wander rootless with only a passport to call home. Dear months of family have been no dont cry mommy promise you no one will come and devour you know greedy wail of a company sharking through political seas no backwater bullying of businesses with broken morals no blindfolded bureaucracies going to push this mother ocean over the edge no ones drowning baby no ones moving no ones losing their homeland no ones becoming a Climate Change refugee. Or should i say no one else to the carteret islanders of coppell in new guinea and to the taro islanders of fusion i take this moment to apologize to you we are drawing the line here because we baby are going to fight your mommy daddy who would you mind your country and your president to we will all fights and even though there are those hidden behind platinum titles who like to pretend that we dont exist who like to pretend that the Marshall Islands to buy lucchino by small these type one ion in the philippines floods of algeria colombia pakistan and all the hurricanes earthquakes 2 and tidal waves didnt make this its. Still there are those who see us hands reaching out this raise the banners unfurling megaphones booming and we are canoe is blocking coal ships we are the radiance of solar villages we are the fresh clean soil of the farmers past we are teenagers continue blooming petitions we are family biking cycling using engineers building dreaming designing artists painting dancing writing and we are spreading the word and there are thousands out on the streets marching hand in hand chanting for chain. Now and theyre marching for you baby. Theyre marching for us because we deserve to do more than just survive we deserve to die. Here much offended being know you are eyes heavy with jobs you wait so just close those eyes and sleep in peace because you wont let you down youll see. Thank. You no cracked the house and been able to quite take in how rare standing ovation is in the Un General Assembly call and trying to explain to her that this hardly ever happens. In this kind of a meeting where you have a summit and heads of state and their delegations these people have a lot of armor the fact that she got those people with all that armor on to stand up and feel. You know i think thats a miracle. If worse if were very very close to achieving an ambitious legal agreement. But theres just a few people that havent shifted yet and they are just people and she contributed changing just one of those minds because of her performance i mean its possible and even if its just one person thats a huge victory. So im really grateful to her for bringing a miracle and i got to i got to live it and i got to live in a really close way and thats amazing and ill have that for the rest of my life as a memory i mean i would start crying now because. You know if im here for 30 or 40 more years. No matter how hard it gets ill always have this memory. So she got me again. You know it was really really something. Wow that was a lot. You know its hard its hard to do that. When you think of your accomplishment. And cathys accomplishment. What does it make you think. Of what one person can do. Well i you know my favorite quote is by Margaret Mead never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed individuals can change the world indeed its the only thing that ever has. This story started from last. But there are some things that you cant change. But i no longer believe for. What can person doing. I mean what difference. What difference can one person make a difference a while. Theres a lot anybody can do theres so much look at all these these people who stood up you know marginal to king jr. They did so much anyone can do a lie it doesnt have to be on a global scale if theyre you know it can be a lot for just your community or your family if you mean everything to somebody and thats doing a lot right there. There i dont know why people dont think they can make changes happen or that they cant they cant do anything i dont. I dont believe there is it because they think that they have to be a gun. Or a malcolm x. Or Martin Luther king jr you know dont they feel they feel like im just me are just now just regular guy yeah im pretty sure theyre regular people and even when i met al gore i was like regular dude pretty ordinary and he know if you think theyre like this guy like they think theyre untouchable like you know theyre there its al gore and then you meet and where you do you know everybody is just ordinary i dont know i just dont. I was seeing. As a point we basically for someone. As we come to the end of the story. Im hopeful for you and your future. We can each of us pick up the torch. We can make a difference. Thank you. We need to extend the love we have from children and grandchildren a generation further. To the children we will never meet. To the world we will not see. To the things we will not benefit from. It is perfectly possible. And when you look back at us in our generation. I hope it will be with a sense of amazement and pride. That when you turn the last page in europe. We. You will have been able to write the perfect ending to any good story. Just when you sort all was lost and hopeless. In the end. It wasnt. Entered the conflict zone confronting the powerful. My guest this week you know the movie is the conservative m. P.
