"06:30 am on a cool autumn morning,and Alvin's heading up to work, searching for more oil." "Ironically, the oil infrastructure off the coast of New Orleans suffered major damage during the hurricane, but Shell moved fast to carry out repair and just 9 months later, the rigs are online, and everyone's back at work." "Oil was formed when ancient plant life in the ocean absorbed energy from the ancient sun." "When these plants died, they settled in the ocean floor along with the dead bodies of tons and tons of ocean creatures." "Over millennia, temperature increased and the organic matter was gradually cooked until the sun's energy was stored inside oil." "150 million years later, Shell's geologists analyzed where the oil might be, and then drilled 3 miles down into the seabed to collect samples." "Hey you go Al, get yourself." "Thank you" "We get the samples and analyze them for the fossil contents." "The microscopic fossils." "And it's just another geo-scientific tool in order to improve your possibility of finding oil." "In my opinion, probably arrogantly so, but it's pretty high calling actually to try to do that, to try to figure out or maybe take apart, you know, time itself." "Go back a few thousand years, and the energy available to grow our crops or feed animals was limited by the daily sunlight falling on the earth." "But now, we gorge ourselves on hundreds of years worth of sunlight every single year." "Every part of modern life is now literally made of oil." "From CDs to plastic bags, to medicines and computers." "From clothes and carpets to hair gel and cell phones." "It's a fantastically useful substance." "Then there's our food, each calorie we eat used about 80 oil calories to produce, package, refrigerate and transport." "And fossil fuel produce fertilizers now feed about 2 billion people who could not otherwise stay alive." "It would be wise for humanity to use the remaining oil to build the new society which could run without it." "But we are, instead, indiscriminately burning tens of millions of barrels every day." "It'll all be gone in about 40 years, leaving pretty much none for future generations."

"Like hundreds of other community projects across Niger delta, construction has been abandoned." "Shell maintains that's because of the risk of kidnapping." "13% of the oil revenue is supposed to be spent on community development." "But the local people share is almost all lost to the corrupt political system." "So despite being in the most profitable oil region in West Africa," "Layefa's village has no health service, no secondary school, no electricity, and no drinking water." "Layefa is describing a phenomenon known as "the resource curse"." "Paradoxically, finding oil usually increases a country's poverty." "As the oil wealth is concentrated in hands of a few, so the agriculture, education, and health system of the country become neglected and often collapsed." "The local people health problems are compounded by gas flare, burning nights and days throughout the Niger delta, asthma, bronchitis, skin diseases , and cancer have all been linked." "That gas is found alongside oil, but, as it's dangerous to transport, it can't easily be sold to over sea markets ." "It could be use for cooking and heating within Nigeria, but building infrastructure is expensive so the oil company just burn it off." "Its flares emit about 70 million tons of carbon dioxide every year more than the annual emissions from 10 million British homes." "they just do whatever they like."

"Why were we, along with Australia," "Why was an oil company lobbyist allowed to change official government reports on global warming?" "Why was the same PR firm employed by the tobacco industry to persuade the public that smoking is healthy, then employed by the oil industry to convince us there was still doubt about climate change?" "Alternative energy has been available for 50 years, why have we barely used it?" "Why were solar panels taking off the white house?" "Because right from the early days of the industry, the oil men and their unseen profit have had an unhealthy influence on the people running our country." "And now, they all are the people running our country." "And they're providing the cash, too." "Oil business isn't just in bed with the government, it is the government." "Here, Layefa is going to a nearby village," "Oiama, that was massacre by the government." "The village was involved in a dispute about ownership of a piece of land, on which Shell planed to drill for oil." "The government claimed that the village was harboring terrorists, and when they sent the military in to find those terrorists, the villagers opened fire on the soldiers." "Layefa has gone to hear the villagers' side of the story, from Omiekma Wekid" "Amnesty international investigated the massacre and concluded that, although the government was responsible for the killings," "Shell Nigeria should have made sure that their activities did not contribute to the conflict."

"As cheap energy, slaves were unbeatable, until the less troublesome energy source was discovered, and the new era began." "Human numbers increased 5 times over." "And with each person wanting more and more stuff, oil became "the resource" worth fighting for all around the world." "Well, you want to know the real reason why to warn Iraq?" "According to the former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, it's a simple, 3 letter answer." "Not WMD, it's O-I-L." "You might read the ex-chairman of Shell that said over weekend that oil can hit over 150 dollars a barrel as world production begins to peak, not really good news for a country whose entire economy, not to mention its entire way of life," "is based on cheap oil." "we left the world in a better place, then we found it, that was progress, the wheel, rule of law, penicillin." "It was our covenant to our children, grandchildren;" "my children went angry with me for breaking the covenant, they were too busy trying to stay alive to waste energy on blame, trying to negotiate their way through food riots, refugee camps, and the collapse of society."

"Americans have been advertised that longest, and they now each consumed twice as much energy as an European," "9 times more than a Chinese person, 15 times more than an Indian, and 50 times more than someone from Kenya." "If all the 65 billion here on earth consumed like European or Japanese, we need two more planets worth of resources." "If everyone consumed like American or Australian and Canadian, we need another four." "And in 2040 or so when there are about 90 billion of us, we need two more again." "Capitalism's only goal is ever expending growth, but ever expending growth on just a one not expending planet" "It's impossible." "The con economic system is disastrous, not just for the planet , but for most people, too." "400 years of capitalism has allowed the richest one 1% to take 40% for themselves, leaving just 1% for the poorest to have." "But anyone wanting to live differently is fool ticket every time." "With profit, the only measuring step, destroying the planet is written into the system, and run away climate change is not very surprising result." "The logo effectively is color, you know, light grey, you know, orange telecom, they are orangey black." "Our logo is fluorescent color." "Where everything changes in economy in minute, you have an airline moving in."

"Two beautiful, beautiful oak trees I did not lose, you know, local, indigenous, quikes, virginianas, live oaks that sprawl all over the place, beautiful, beautiful things." "That's what I have left, two old oak trees and an empty lawn, everything else is gone." "That sucks." "Losing everything you have, it's so overwhelming." "And the grief that comes with that, it is just profound." "We have an unspoken collected pact to pretend climate change wasn't happening, as though as long we ignore it hard enough, It wouldn't be true." "Not absolutely everyone, a few were shouting fire." "Hello, come on in." "One of the greatest difficulties with climate change is that the effects of our emissions today are not actually realized in terms of the temperature for 30 or 40 years so there is this time-lag system." "Which makes it difficult for us, humans, to respond because we're evolutionary equipped to deal with the very immediate threats like advancing armies or dangerous animals." "We're not so well-equipped with dealing rationally with very long term problems like climate change." "So we have to act now to stop something happening in the future, if we wait until the full temperature effects are already upon us, then it's far too late to stop." "If you remember one single number above all else, 2"×¡C make it two degrees, now everyone in the world pretty much, the European Union, big multi-national corporations, Greenpeace, political parties," "all agreed that we have to stabilize global temperatures within 2 degrees above pre-industrial level, and the reason for that is because, if you cross that threshold, the narrow tipping point in the earth system, which could drive the warming process essentially out of control." "Huge amount of carbon could be coming out of the world, trees and soils, methane could be coming out of the perma-frost in Siberia and it's that extra input of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which then leads us up to the worst case scenario to 6 or more degrees" "and the eventual wipeout of most of the life on earth." "So power emission has been going up , between, let's says, 1950, and now they need to level out , stabilize, and then decline just as rapidly to sustainable levels about an 80% cut by 2050." "But crucially, to keep the temperature rise within 2 degrees, this point of stabilization need to be at around 2015." "And so that means, really, the time, timeline we've got, ticking clock, is that we have to stabilize global emission within just 7 years from now as we speak 2008." "And scale of this task to achieve a transformation to a low carbon economy of the entire, entirety of human civilization, is obviously, is huge, monumental task, probably the greatest humanity ever faced." "Remember the English family who went to see the glacier?" "They're back home in Cornwall, south west England, inspire to start tackling their own energy wasting." "It says that the average Individual in the UK responsible for emitting 10 tons of greenhouse gas a year." "They're calculating exactly how much climate-change-gases their family currently produces, and how it can be reduced." "Yeah, but that's the average individual, there are five of us." "Whichever way you look at this, it isn't good." "We produce about half of our food, and we try keep our consumption of meat and dairy down." "My car runs on chick fat and we do cycle when we can." "We just got our wind turbine, which will produce all our own electricity." "We're aiming to cut down to about one ton each per year, which is apparently the sustainable amount that the world's trees and plants can reabsorb." "But the big problem is flying, just one mid-term flight, say, London to New York, would blow our entire carbon budget for about 3.5 years." "Apparently, other than setting fire to a forest, flying is the single worst thing an ordinary individual can do to cause climate change." "So, it's a bit of a dilemma, because we've just been invited to go skiing in France." "Then I am flying from Newquay , which is our nearest airport, say, 40 minutes from here, to Bergerac, which is like, you know, an hour and a half or something, from it." "And literally we could leave here in the morning that's we leave like in, Cornwall, we could leave Cornwall in the morning, and be in Bergerac by sort of, for lunch, after lunch." "But if you actually think, this is going to cause the death of people, actually in effect people are make that direct connection , then it's a really scary thought." "Obviously, us not flying to France or not flying, wherever it's hard to guess, will solve the problem." "But it's down to what you think it's the correct thing to do." "Because everyone else's doing it, I mean, that is not a good reason to do anything." "You know, to look at the terrible things in our history that everyone regrets now, you know, massacres, the holocaust a lot of that, was just going a long way what was the predominant thinking at the time." "I almost jealous at the time, 5 or 10 years ago when I could just jump on a plane with impunity," "I didn't even think about it,it's blissful, no moral dilemma there, whatsoever." "Needless to say, they didn't take that flight." "And joining the climate change protest march may not be everybody's idea of the 10th wedding anniversary, but Piers and Lisa have share ideals from the moment they met." "My friend, we went along to the party together, and she just basically took me straight over to Piers and said," ""Hey, look," you know "Piers , this is Lisa. " And, dah dah dah" "And that was it, that was it." "We just... and spent the whole evening talking about wind turbines." "Piers has been developing wind farms in Africa, America, and Britain for over 15 years." "But he knows that they only help slow the climate crisis as a small part of a total reordering of western society." "And there still is an idea that somehow we have to find the solution, you know, the silver bullet." "No single renewable source is going to be the solution, absolutely not." "And Piers doesn't think much of the other option, whereby everyone crosses their fingers and hopes that the miracle technology will be invented in time." "I'm not saying we shouldn't be developing other stuff, absolutely, we should be." "We should be throwing everything after it." "But, you've got to make use of what's available now." "And in the UK, we've got a great wind resource, and we just got to bite the bullet and go for it." "Piers has purposed a new wind farm as airfield farm at Airfield Farm in Bedfordshire, central England." "He could have 15 turbines installed and generating 13 megawatts of electricity within a year." "Well, the process balloon is now going up, but while that's happening, I'll just explain where we are." "We all have our thumb down as well." "UK-wise surveys point to about 70 ~ 80% in favor of wind farm as a concept." "The difficulty is when you got one on your own doorstep, and then there is the sort of "not-in-my-backyard" syndrome." "Jim, what's the problem?" "The problem really is that this is one of the least windy sites in the country." "I hope it's not gonna get too windy tomorrow and it wraps itself around the church." "Well, I live in Coddington, and we're going to be absolutely surrounded by these high moss." "They're going to obliterate the view." "What it normally always comes down to with wind farms is the aesthetics, you know." "Everything else is basically put together to try and back up the ultimate thing, the ultimate thing is they don't want to spoil their view." "But I'm bit concern about the low level noise as well." "The wind farm site is right next to world famous Santa Pod drag-racing strip." "Anybody you ask it, nobody's against wind energy, that's the point, t's against inappropriate wind energy use." "Hypnotic, you're driving alone, and you tend to saw this sails revolving, and you're not concentrating on the driving." "Eurney Braddock will benefit financially having turbine on his farm, but now he's in conflict with his neighbor, Victoria Reeves." "Well, everyone is very unhappy about it, we're gonna lose the value of our properties, we are not going to be able to sleep, it will make a difference, Eurney you have no idea, believe me." "According to Victoria, they stop to wind farm up in Scotland on the other estate in Scotland." "Back in the mid-90's that was a great victory." ""It can't rely on the wind, it can only deliver ", "It's an additive. "" ""Additive?" "Do you mean additional?" "Yes, it is additional. " "It's a economics resources, put it that way. "" ""No, Eurney, it doesn't." "It's got to, it's got to." "It does nothing of the sort, believe me. "" "It's an emotional campaign, it's about fear mostly based on complete BS, frankly." "But never mind, facts are not a problem, you know." ""It's a fair fight, and I hope you lose. ", "Alright. "" "This is august 2005, just after Mumbai's worst ever floods." "And a couple of months before Jeh's first flight." "Show daddy how good you ride this, show daddy how fast you can go, come on." "Wooo..." "No more pushing , it's battery operated." ""So, I can't finish either." "" "Hey, grandpa... "" "Jeh is descended from one of India's richest and most powerful business dynasties." "They pioneered everything from ship building from the 18 centuries to internet services in the 21st." "And around about way, his privileged up bringing sparked the idea for the low cost airline." "What do you want me to do?" "I'm going to the airport." "Throughout basically my life, at young age," "I mean, I used to hang out with tons of, you know, servants' kids." "You know, that sort of stuff." "You know, and when you go home, you say..., you suddenly think, why do I have so much, and these guys have nothing." "And that sort of, and that constantly adding up." "You know, everyone is here for a purpose." "The idea is to realize what your higher purpose is, and then realize how you gonna fulfill it." "And eventually I realize what my higher purpose was, it was to insure that I eradicated poverty." "Jeh volunteers at the charity which helps villagers lift themselves out of poverty." "But even by private jet and jeep, it's a 5 hour, 900 kilometers journey." "Hiring a private jet is basically in terms of costs as much as the village does, you know, take a village from below the poverty and put it above the poverty." "So effectively, in terms of it defeats the purpose." "And therefore I decided to, you know.." "try the trains, from Bombay takes about 26 hours." "I said to myself, "wow, this is incredible. "" "You know, people pay good money and still have to basically put with this rubbish." "15 million people travel by trains in India every single day." "Jeh's dream is to get them all off the trains and into the skies." "We're not at war at the moment." "It's not a war." "But people actually recognize that full implications of what's in store for us, they would be treating it like a war." "If anybody takes Airfield Farm for example," "I mean that was the year it was airbase, people flew out there and died." "Or of course, which was massive at the time, the global problem, and we have ourselves out." "A real global problem that needs that kind of level of commitment." "There are many, many other industries that need to be looked in to first, before aviation." "it's not questionable choosing one industry to target, in ultimate deal, we all contribute to to to greenhouse gases, we all contribute to the crisis that we have today with the planet." "So ultimately, in terms of, you know... insuring our planet is safe and healthy is each one's job, task." "Whether you do it in your own way by using less tissue paper, using less papers, less trees cut buying green cars or not flying." "Obviously, if you're not doing it, and the demand goes down, the demand goes down, the supply goes down." "Life is about demand and supply or supply and demand." "Strange." "Watching this film fragment." "Like looking through binoculars observing people of far of beach." "Running around in circle, fixated on the small area of sand under their feet." "As a tsunami races toward the shore." "Here's Alvin." "He's just taken early retirement after thirty years on the oil industry salary." "And he's planning to spend his later years outside enjoying nature." "Oh, certainly I'm ecologist, and an environmentalist." "I really don't have a problem squaring that..." "Working for an oil company that I feel... has... done a pretty good job and in being environmentally friendly." "When I started working in the oil industries, about the mid 70's, it was clear path for me, as a scientist coming up college" "And I didn't know the detail of what goes on in the oil industry, the goods and the bad." "But indeed every industry has that, goods and bad." "Would I do it again, knowing what I know now, of course I would do it again," "I mean, you need to work, you need to do something" "The worst example I've had is a lady, an old lady came up to me, at the public exhibition." "And gave me a cutting from a newspaper, with a picture of guy being shot" "Local anti-campaign is one of the key factors, stopping about 80% of the proposed wind energy project in Britain." "Had they all been built, 10% of our Electricity would've been non-polluted." "How the heck are we meant to persuade people in India and China that they should develop in a more sustainable way when we are not prepared to even to accept you know, the old wind farming landscape." ""So how's it going?", "All right, yes. "" ""Not too much trouble?", "Not really, no, nobody's punched me up. "" "Pierce has come back to the Ernie's farm with a plan to make the turbine less visible." "Trying to kick start the planning process that the anti-campaign has now held up for eighteen months." "Another eighteen months of climate change" "Another eighteen months, where I'm able to do nothing about it." "You must be feeling the same as me." "It just, I mean how long have we got..." "Pierce's compromise reduces the number of turbines from fifteen down to nine." "This is still the equivalent electrical power to fair eleven thousand homes." "So there's still alot power." "Exactly the opposite is happening, to the very thing that needs to happen." "These things need to be speeded up, and actually, they're getting slowed down." "Plenty of politicians are talking about it, but when it comes down to it," "It's just not happening." "It's Just not happening, folks." "Governments will only go as far as the population demands." "And that means mass protest on unprecedented scale." "Direct action like this is essential, if you were going to turn an issue around in a short period of time." "We've found that many many times in the past, from the suffragettes onwards."
