The video discusses the devastating effects of climate change on the environment, and presents an alternative solution of eating less meat. It also discusses the effects of climate change on agriculture.

00:00:00 As a teenager, Miguel remembers looking at a poster of a comic book character on his baby's crib, watching him each night before going to bed. His father was a comic book distributor, and he called himself a "clandestine contrarian." Pinto in the Warhol studio shared a room with Lou Reed and Robert Crumb, and knew them both. His childhood was surrounded by a multitude of visual excesses. This led him not to let go of the painting even after he became an adult and started critically analyzing it. In the first panel, nothing and no one is there; in the Garden of Eden, we see birds flying, elephants, and a lot of religious iconography. The second panel is more interesting, with capital sins appearing. In the third panel, we see the consequences of overpopulation: decadence and destruction. In the last panel, a sinister, ruined landscape appears. This is a message to the world's leaders: Leonardo DiCaprio is the new messenger of peace on climate change, and he presents himself before you as a concerned citizen, not an expert. He wants to do everything he can to inform himself and investigate what's happening, though he knows it's beyond our control. He's won his life as an actor playing characters who
00:05:00 The video shows various catastrophic news stories about the environment, and then talks to someone about how they feel about the issue of climate change. They say that the onus is on people to speak up about the problem, but that most people avoid the topic because they're afraid. The speaker says that the onus is also on those in positions of power to take action, and that if the UN knew how they feel, they would have made a mistake in their messaging. However, they believe that the situation is not hopeless, and that if people could see the effects of climate change on film, it would be incredible. They encourage people to become more aware and take action, as the stakes are high. The speaker says that if people want to fight effectively, they need to be aware that a large part of the economy is based on fossil fuels, and that we are risking the destruction of our planet and the cultures that live on it by continuing to use them. They talk about how we are risking the extinction of species by developing new sources of energy, such as fracking, which destroys mountains to get coal, and using sand as a cheap source of energy instead of more sustainable sources like solar and wind. The speaker says that we are destroying our environment at an unprecedented scale
00:10:00 The video discusses how the use of fossil fuels has led to the depletion of resources and the need to find alternative methods of energy production. It explains how the development of alternative energy sources, such as synthetic oil, is made possible by the extraction of oil from beneath the surface of the earth. It also discusses the effects of climate change on the environment, and how humans are contributing to it. By the end of the video, it is revealed that 4 July is the global day of awareness for climate change.
00:15:00 The video discusses how climate change is affecting the environment, particularly in Greenland, which is experiencing massive ice melt. The narrator explains that the meltwater is causing the sea level to rise, and that if this trend continues, Florida will be lost.
00:20:00 The video discusses Antes de que sea tarde, a campaign focused on making people aware of the imminent risk of losing time in debating climate change and the belief that it is not yet fully accepted that climate change exists. It invites people to come to their city to see the great problem that faces us. In this city, there is something called the "flooding of the day-sun," which imagines a beautiful day and suddenly streets are inundated when the level of the ocean rises. As the ocean rises, water flows through drainage systems and floods our streets through the sewers, eventually reaching a level where the city will be uninhabitable. One solution is to install water tanks, which the city is doing in order to prevent the city from becoming inundated in the first place. The project is funded through the increase of taxes, which is met with resistance by the citizens. However, these projects will ultimately result in a great difference in terms of quality of life, giving people a margin of safety without a doubt, by allowing them to survive for around 40 or 50 years. What always surprises me when people ask me what will happen in 50 years is that I am a leader in the sales of electric vehicles. This means
00:25:00 The video discusses how, in recent years, the interests of the fossil fuel industry have bought influence over politicians in the United States, resulting in inaction on climate change. It also discusses how the Chinese economy has grown rapidly, putting more people and pollution into the world. Now, it is harder to solve the climate change problem than it was in the past.
00:30:00 In this video, Chinese citizens talk about the climate change issue and how it affects their daily lives. They also talk about how they want to be a part of the solution, and how they are working to bring more transparency to the energy industry and hold companies accountable for their environmental violations. China continues to rely heavily on fossil fuels, but it seems to be moving more quickly to renewable energy than any other country. However, India's lack of access to electricity is a major obstacle to its sustainable development. According to the video, 300 million people in India still do not have access to electricity. This number equals the population of the United States. The people of India continue to use traditional methods of cooking with fire, which results in high levels of air pollution. India is also struggling with a growing population and inadequate resources. The government has changed its energy policy to focus on renewable energy, but India must still overcome significant challenges, such as the lack of infrastructure.
00:35:00 The video discusses the need for affordable electricity and the importance of India's coal reserves. It points out that the United States also has a large coal reserve and that, if we are going to have a problem in the past, we will have one in the future. The video goes on to say that we need to invest in renewable energy sources, which if implemented would solve the climate crisis. However, many Americans are not in favor of this change, and seem to think that prosperity is more important than the environment. I disagree and believe that it is our responsibility to take the necessary steps to address the climate crisis. India is a good example of this, as it has become addicted to oil and gas and is suffering the consequences. Other countries need to understand this and act accordingly.
00:40:00 The video discusses the impact of climate change on islands in the Pacific Ocean, some of which are expected to be completely submerged by the sea due to rising levels of water. It discusses the need for islanders to adapt to the changing environment and the challenges they face in doing so. One solution proposed is for islanders to emigrate to other parts of the world.
00:45:00 The oceans are like a great absorber of carbon dioxide, because they absorb around a third of the CO2 that we release into the atmosphere. The problem is that the oceans can't do their job fast enough with those high emissions levels. Life will never disappear from the oceans, but it could be that the kind of life we want to see doesn't exist there anymore. We're destroying ecosystems that help stabilize the climate, just like the oceans do. For decades, forests have absorbed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They've stored it in trees' branches, leaves, and organic matter. When we came along, we burned all of that down. Now, that carbon is released in huge amounts into the atmosphere as wildfires. Clouds are very dense, and visibility is poor. It's all natural, so wildfires never happen like this before. We're in the last place on Earth where we have wild animals. In fact, there are now more elephants, rhinos, and tigers in the world than ever before. What's happening to our forests is incredible. We're destroying the last wild areas on Earth, and we're doing it deliberately. We're supporting the expansion of
00:50:00 The video discusses the devastating effects of deforestation on the environment and the human race, and presents an alternative solution of eating less meat. It also discusses the effects of climate change on agriculture.
00:55:00 The video describes a journey to visit the last place on Earth where snow still exists. The video also discusses the potential consequences of climate change. One solution is to implement an income tax on carbon, which would add an extra cost to activities that generate carbon emissions. If enacted, this would speed up the transition to sustainable energy.

01:00:00 - 01:30:00

The video discusses the dangers of climate change and urges people to take action. It highlights the importance of the recent conference in Paris, and how we need to continue to talk about the issue in order to make a difference.

01:00:00 The video discusses the idea that taxation could be used to reduce the negative effects of climate change, specifically by implementing an "impuesto sobre el carbono." The talk highlights the difficulties in implementing such a tax, as well as the political landscape in which it would need to exist in order to be effective. However, the presenter believes that the public is slowly becoming more aware of the issue, and that politicians will eventually follow public opinion on this issue.
01:05:00 The video discusses the current state of the Earth and the effects of global warming on the planet. It presents a scenario in which the world will reach a point of no return if global warming continues at its current rate. Scientists are currently focused on averting this scenario by implementing renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. However, the fear is that we are doing this too slow.
01:10:00 The video discusses the global agreement reached in Paris to combat climate change. The agreement includes measures to be taken by countries to reduce their emissions. It is a historical moment because it sets measurable goals for all countries to achieve. This creates a structure to be able to deal with the problem seriously. The opposition has some concerns, but overall, this agreement is seen as a good thing. It is important that we have created this structure even though the goals set aren't enough to solve the problem. Scientists have explained to the public that climate change is a national security issue. It has saddened me to think that my daughters will never see a glacier. I saw one when I was in Alaska. It is heartbreaking that so many people are indifferent to this issue. We all have a role to play in making a difference.
01:15:00 The video warns of the dangers to national security and the world's ability to resist and survive if we do not act, and urges us to do so immediately. I believe that if we continue informing the population about this issue, we are able to solve the problem. I have been aware for some time that scientists have failed to communicate this danger to the public. But when you go out there and see it for yourself, you realize that the atmosphere looks like a layer of onion covering the ground, storing oxygen that we breathe in CO2 and all the other things we burn. You realize that this is a very fragile protective system, with very weak mechanisms that I have studied for 20 years. I have understood how the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and other elements of the system work together from science. But I feel like a beetle trying to understand how an elephant is running around on all its body when I'm in orbit and can observe it 2000 kilometers away. I began to appreciate the planet more when I was on the surface and didn't feel it. I also appreciate the people who live on the planet, something that had not occurred to me when I was on the surface. It's like having to leave your family and then go back home
01:20:00 The author of the video shares the story of how he first became aware of the dangers of climate change, and how he continues to be an advocate for it. He talks about the painting he saw as a child, which depicted the Earth surrounded by a thin veil of crystal air. He talks about the recent conference in Paris, where scientists made a significant step in the right direction, but believe that more action is needed. The author believes that we need to continue to talk about climate change and act on the information we have, in order to make a positive impact on the planet.
01:25:00 The speaker, a messenger of peace for the United Nations, gives a speech on the urgency of climate change before the world. He talks about the destruction he's seen around the world, and how we need to take immediate action if we want to save the human race. He calls on the leaders in the room to take immediate action, and urges everyone to vote in the upcoming elections to support change. He says that it's up to us to save the planet, and that it's time to abandon discussions about the issue and get to work. The future generations will thank us for it.
01:30:00 The video features a variety of music, including a song titled "Antes de que sea tarde" (Before it is late). The song speaks of the fear of being late, and the importance of time. It is followed by a short clip of a man warning others about the risks of flood. Finally, the song "Y tú" (And you) is played, and it talks about how the singer worries about his loved ones.
