00:00C'est fascinant comment, comme une espèce et comme une culture, nous sommes brillants à imaginer notre propre extinction et
00:11notre propre demise.
00:12Nous faisons films sur si nous sommes tous blessés par zombies, ou nucléaire bombes, ou des diseases, ou des robots,
00:19ou des aliens, ou des petits gremlins.
00:23We're brilliant, we love those, but where are the films about us actually turning something round and solving a problem?
00:31We don't really have those films, we're terrible at it.
00:34And so actually those stories are so important, because when the climate scientists say, if you want to keep the
00:39biosphere on this planet within the boundaries in which human civilisation emerged and flourished,
00:44and everything that we associate with our history has happened within, you need to start cutting emissions now by 8%,
00:519%, 10% every year.
00:52Well, the problem is, we don't have the stories that go with that.
00:57We see that as a story of less and of moving away from something, and if you say to people,
01:02what would it look like in 20 years' time if we'd started cutting our emissions by that much every year,
01:06what would it be like?
01:08For many people, it's sitting in a cold cave, eating rotten potatoes.
01:13It's the end of the world.
01:14It's the end of the world. But actually, it could be fantastic.
