Symphony of Science - Our Biggest Challenge (Climate Change Music Video)

[David Attenborough]: We are a flexible and innovative species and we have the capacity to adapt and modify our behavior Now, we most certainly have to do so if we're to deal with climate change. It's the biggest challenge we have yet faced. [Bill Nye]: The same thing that keeps the Earth warm CO2! May make the Earth too warm It holds in heat Methane, Chloroflourocarbons, water vapor and Carbon dioxide - they all trap heat Methane, Chloroflourocarbons, water vapor and Carbon dioxide - they all trap heat [Isaac Asimov]: It is important that the world get together To face the problems which attack us as a unit [Richard Alley]: The evidence is clear [Nye]: The globe is getting too warm [Alley]: We can avoid climate catastrophies We can do this [Nye]: We can change the world [Alley]: Science offers us answers To these huge challenges [Nye]: It's one global ecosystem [Alley]: We can do this [Nye]: We can change the world Every single thing every one of us does Affects everybody all over the world It's one global ecosystem Warm, wet, cold or dry Climates all start in the sky Warm, wet, cold or dry Climates all start in the sky When the C02 is high, the temperature is high Moving together in lock step When the C02 is low, the temperature is low Moving together [Isaac Asimov]: It is important that the world get together To face the problems which attack us as a unit [Richard Alley]: The evidence is clear [Nye]: The globe is getting too warm [Alley]: We can avoid climate catastrophies We can do this [Nye]: We can change the world [Alley]: Science offers us answers To these huge challenges [Nye]: It's one global ecosystem [Alley]: We can do this [Nye]: We can change the world [Richard Alley]: Our use of fossil fuels for energy is pushing us towards a climate unlike any seen in the history of civilization Adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere Warms things up The rise in C02 Comes from burning fossil fuels When you burn them, add oxygen That makes C02 that goes in the air We're reversing the process by which they formed [Asimov]: We're talking about something That affects the entire Earth Problems that transcend nations. It is important that the world get together To face the problems which attack us as a unit [Richard Alley]: The evidence is clear [Nye]: The globe is getting too warm [Alley]: We can avoid climate catastrophies We can do this [Nye]: We can change the world [Alley]: Science offers us answers To these huge challenges [Nye]: It's one global ecosystem [Alley]: We can do this [Nye]: We can change the world
