[00:25.94]We are right now in the beginning of a climate and ecological crisis
[00:32.21]And we need to call it what it is
[00:35.92]An emergency
[00:39.34]We must acknowledge that we do not have the situation under control
[00:44.34]And that we don't have all the solutions yet
[00:47.75]Unless those solutions mean that we simply stop doing certain things
[00:53.31]We must admit that we are losing this battle
[00:58.54]We have to acknowledge that the older generations have failed
[01:04.98]All political movements in their present form have failed
[01:10.60]But Homo sapiens have not yet failed
[01:19.80]Yes, we are failing, but there is still time to turn everything around
[01:26.73]We can still fix this
[01:30.02]We still have everything in our own hands
[01:33.82]But unless we recognise the overall failures of our current systems
[01:39.31]We most probably don't stand a chance
[01:47.53]We are facing a disaster of unspoken sufferings for enormous amounts of people
[01:54.79]And now is not the time for speaking politely or focusing on what we can or cannot say
[02:02.94]Now is the time to speak clearly
[02:08.12]Solving the climate crisis is the greatest and most complex challenge that Homo sapiens have ever faced
[02:17.40]The main solution, however, is so simple that even a small child can understand it
[02:25.50]We have to stop our emissions of greenhouse gases
[02:30.02]And either we do that, or we don't
[02:35.41]You say that nothing in life is black or white
[02:39.12]But that is a lie, a very dangerous lie
[02:44.03]Either we prevent a 1.5 degree of warming, or we don't
[02:50.10]Either we avoid setting off that irreversible chain reaction beyond human control, or we don't
[02:58.49]Either we choose to go on as our civilization, or we don't
[03:04.44]That is as black or white as it gets
[03:08.69]Because there are no grey areas when it comes to survival
[03:18.77]Now, we all have a choice
[03:21.39]We can create transformational action that will safeguard the living conditions for future generations
[03:28.99]Or we can continue with our business as usual and fail
[03:34.51]That is up to you and me
[03:37.97]And yes, we need a system change rather than individual change
[03:43.63]But you cannot have one without the other
[03:47.28]If you look through history
[03:49.41]All the big changes in society have been started by people at the grassroots level
[03:56.16]People like you and me
[03:59.17]So, I ask you to please wake up and make the changes required possible
[04:07.04]To do your best is no longer good enough
[04:11.37]We must all do the seemingly impossible
[04:16.25]Today, we use about 100 million barrels of oil every single day
[04:24.89]There are no politics to change that
[04:28.21]There are no rules to keep that oil in the ground
[04:32.82]So, we can no longer save the world by playing by the rules
[04:37.43]Because the rules have to be changed
[04:40.50]Everything needs to change, and it has to start today
[04:46.28]So, everyone out there, it is now time for civil disobedience
[04:52.93]It is time to rebel
