[ti:The 1975] [ar:The 1975] [al:The 1975] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The 1975 - The 1975 [00:26.56]We are right now in the beginning of [00:28.64]A climate and ecological crisis [00:32.83]And we need to call it what it is an emergency [00:40.29]We must acknowledge that we do not [00:42.05]Have the situation under control [00:44.54]And that we don't have all the solutions yet [00:48.42]Unless those solutions mean that [00:50.53]We simply stop doing certain things [00:54.12]We must admit that we are losing this battle [00:59.11]We have to acknowledge that the older generations have failed [01:05.64]All political movements in their present form have failed [01:11.40]But Homo sapiens have not yet failed [01:20.90]Yes we are failing [01:23.03]But there is still time to turn everything around [01:27.36]We can still fix this [01:30.53]We still have everything in our own hands [01:34.77]But unless we recognise the overall failures [01:37.95]Of our current systems [01:39.91]We most probably don't stand a chance [01:48.46]We are facing a disaster of unspoken sufferings [01:52.76]For enormous amounts of people [01:55.60]And now is not the time for speaking politely [01:59.07]Or focusing on what we can or cannot say [02:03.76]Now is the time to speak clearly [02:08.98]Solving the climate crisis is the greatest [02:11.79]And most complex challenge [02:14.23]That Homo sapiens have ever faced [02:18.19]The main solution however [02:20.79]Is so simple that even a small child can understand it [02:26.38]We have to stop our emissions of greenhouse gases [02:30.77]And either we do that or we don't [02:36.13]You say that nothing in life is black or white [02:39.87]But that is a lie a very dangerous lie [02:44.97]Either we prevent a 1 5 degree of warming [02:48.47]Or we don't either we avoid setting off [02:52.65]That irreversible chain reaction beyond human control [02:56.45]Or we don't either we choose to go on as a civilisation [03:02.72]Or we don't that is as black or white as it gets [03:09.63]Because there are no grey areas when it comes to survival [03:19.54]Now we all have a choice [03:22.01]We can create transformational action [03:24.68]That will safeguard the living conditions [03:27.32]For future generations [03:29.87]Or we can continue with our business as usual and fail [03:35.28]That is up to you and me [03:38.85]And yes we need a system change rather than individual change [03:44.29]But you cannot have one without the other [03:48.01]If you look through history [03:49.99]All the big changes in society have been started [03:53.60]By people at the grassroots level people like you and me [04:00.09]So I ask you to please wake up [04:02.86]And make the changes required possible [04:08.23]To do your best is no longer good enough [04:12.08]We must all do the seemingly impossible [04:17.19]Today we use about [04:19.75]100 million barrels of oil every single day [04:25.51]There are no politics to change that [04:29.23]There are no rules to keep that oil in the ground [04:33.48]So we can no longer save the world by playing by the rules [04:38.09]Because the rules have to be changed [04:41.19]Everything needs to change and it has to start today [04:47.21]So everyone out there [04:49.46]It is now time for civil disobedience [04:53.36]It is time to rebel
