August 03, 2022 10:59 - 10 minutes - 9.89 MB"Just thinking about how our actions play out over multiple generations who will have to live with the consequences of these decisions. I think we need to stretch our sense of time, and within that stretch our sense of empathy.

I've already learned a lot from my daughter and her friends, the questions they ask, and the concerns they have. I will continue to be open to learning from the younger generation, and I think the second that you give up hope is the second that you have declared failure.

And I even have memories myself as a young child of just the wonder. I remember walking to kindergarten and seeing this bush with all sorts of flowers on it, and all these monarch butterflies on it.

July 25, 2022 09:05 - 12 minutes - 11.6 MB"The whole social fabric that we have is based upon the past climate, and so once we cross that threshold, it's what I call the Straw that Breaks the Camel's Back Syndrome. And so you have a relatively modest change, which I estimate to be in the neighborhood of 5 to 20 percent, typically. And that is enough to nudge us. Instead of 1 billion dollars in damage from a hurricane, we end up with 100 billion dollars. Now, that's just one example. There are many other cases, but the sort of things...

So maybe the people who love nature are going to say, 'Oh, Bertrand Piccard, now he is too down to earth. He's speaking about profitable solutions. He's speaking to the industries that are polluting,' but we have to speak to the industries that are polluting and bring them profitable solutions, otherwise the world will never change, or humankind will never change.

We don't know what the future holds. We need to fight for the futures that we want, and against the futures that we don't want. All I can really say is that it's up to us.

At this point, by 2025, we expect 1.8 billion people to suffer from water scarcity, which means they have no access to clean, safe drinking water within a 30-minute walk of their home. You fast forward to 2050, we expect 6 billion people will have water scarcity. So the rate at which this problem is increasing is far greater than the current infrastructure that has supported water for humans. And...

There are tons of government subsidies that make it possible for anyone to possibly own a piece of land in the way that most people inhabit the land and own it. We need to change that because there are some things called flood zones. And what we called hundred-year floods are now like 10-year floods.

We're seeing horrendous droughts play out across East Africa, an unprecedented level of droughts, but these impacts are also costing hundreds of billions of dollars a year. And the cost of reducing our emissions is not that great. I think the estimate is something like a trillion dollars a year for the entire globe,...

We as humans naturally have this emotional connection, I think, to trees, and so particularly when you think of our ability to take action within the climate crisis conversation, a tree is this really powerful symbol and vehicle because it's a lot easier to understand a tree than it is to understand a pound or two of CO2 that's floating in the air.

Large areas of North America and Europe are now under intense agriculture.
