00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: climate change tab from COP twenty nine. The Climate change

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: conference this year, all the officials, the politicians, the experts,

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: the industry, every man and his dog has flown to

6
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: Azerbaijan to lecture everybody not in the room about climate change.

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: And they're already cranking the classics through the stage speakers.

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: We're at a turning point, the Paris Agreements, at a

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: crucial tipping point, because Donald Trump's going to pull out,

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: even though we've been through this crucial tipping point before.

12
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: the classics. And this is the problem with Cop insert

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: number here. No one really listens. Every year they make

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: the same pilgrimage and give the same speech, and every

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: year we shrug our shoulders and wonder, why doesn't the

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: number ever match the year? Shouldn't it be COP twenty four?

Speaker 1: presents from Kmart for the grandkids this Christmas. Things to

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: do if the definition of insanity is doing the same

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,639
Speaker 1: thing every year, over and over and expecting a different

22
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: result than These guys are beyond nuts. The big push

23
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: this year is finance. They wanted rich countries supposedly like ours,

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: to pay one hundred billion dollars a year to poor

25
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: countries to stop them from burning coal and adapting to

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: climate change by twenty twenty. Well, we missed that goal,

27
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: and now they want a trillion dollars a year. That's

28
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: one thousand billion, or four elon musks. Despite all the

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: talk and flying around in threats and end of day's speeches,

30
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: global emissions went up last year, reaching record levels. Do

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: we care about climate change? Yes, enough to change our

32
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: habits in a major way. No, we keep electing leaders

33
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: to fix other things like inflation, and until that changes,
