  • 5:36 - 6:18
    I invite everyone to accept
    with open hearts

    she's joining us by Democracy

  • 5:59 - 8:42
    the Vatican published the pope's
    long awaited encyclical on the
  • 5:59 - 17:32
    where she will speak at the people
    and planet first the imperative
  • 6:05 - 12:08
    the cry of the Earth and
    the cry of the poor.
  • 6:12 - 14:34
    Being that they consume less fossil fuels.

    on the impact on Republican,
  • 6:38 - 14:48
    he said.
  • 6:43 - 20:04
    I want to ask you about a specific
  • 6:44 - 8:25
    changes everything,
  • 6:51 - 20:12
    well it will consume green products
  • 6:53 - 17:25
    and the poorest people who don't
    have the means to defend
  • 6:56 - 19:56
    consumption
  • 6:57 - 20:19
    in the wealthy world among the wealthy,
  • 6:59 - 4:50
    Good morning.
  • 7:03 - 11:37
    we can't believe that laws will
    be enough to change behaviors
  • 7:07 - 15:30
    denying the urgency of the science.
  • 7:17 - 11:47
    to
  • 7:19 - 3:41
    which is also worth bearing
  • 7:22 - 15:42
    culture
  • 7:29 - 7:40
    underlying there are used
  • 7:52 - 11:03
    Our house is going to ruin
  • 7:53 - 5:37
    climate denial is not just about denying
    the science is also about
  • 7:59 - 4:31
    throw away consumer culture
  • 8:05 - 10:37
    citation from the leaked document
  • 8:06 - 10:26
    and
  • 8:07 - 4:18
    in Italy
  • 8:08 - 20:21
    and that is probably well he's
    referring to when he's talking
  • 8:12 - 12:32
    is a
  • 8:14 - 20:27
    polling companies and multinational
    corporations which we also put
  • 8:16 - 15:47
    before the common good.
  • 8:23 - 10:24
    One might expect
  • 8:25 - 17:26
    capitalism versus the climate.
  • 8:28 - 16:58
    everything.
  • 8:30 - 1:12
    the guy has given to many crescendo
  • 8:36 - 13:56
    You know I
  • 8:42 - 10:34
    environment and climate change,
  • 8:44 - 10:55
    in which he was placed
  • 8:46 - 11:57
    should go further.
  • 8:47 - 16:47
    I think that
  • 8:50 - 20:50
    he said.
  • 8:54 - 14:04
    to hear
  • 9:00 - 8:51
    this multi-layered
  • 9:03 - 15:24
    to that demographic.
  • 9:07 - 5:19
    Rick Santorum.
  • 9:11 - 13:13
    which is to say that there
    are forces witnesses
  • 9:14 - 18:15
    you know this pope is leading this way
  • 9:26 - 24:46
    to name just a few.
  • 9:36 - 7:19
    And it was an attack on a
    religious institution,
  • 9:42 - 18:12
    countries
  • 9:43 - 17:23
    and
  • 9:48 - 6:11
    stock you know I've which follows
    the church's social document.
  • 9:48 - 5:30
    . When it was just released,
  • 9:48 - 20:09
    The pub is talking about the death
  • 9:52 - 9:14
    that that that the Vatican
    is leading in this way,
  • 9:53 - 13:37
    been adopted by the pope and you
    you know phrases like ecological
  • 9:59 - 17:32
    we fail to see that some are mired
    in desperate and degrading
  • 10:01 - 14:31
    and
  • 10:06 - 5:17
    Thank you both
  • 10:08 - 9:20
    door has just been opened and
  • 10:08 - 17:38
    cyclical
  • 10:16 - 17:07
    very clear.
  • 10:21 - 11:32
    as well as an attack
  • 10:25 - 19:25
    of frenetic
  • 10:29 - 14:21
    overstate the importance of it,
  • 10:34 - 15:14
    Pope.
  • 10:34 - 16:27
    measure that will encourage speculation
    and rapid consumption
  • 10:35 - 25:08
    in really significant ways by economic
    crisis during the Cold War
  • 10:37 - 14:19
    for believers and nonbelievers alike
  • 10:39 - 20:20
    I haven't been able to look at,
  • 10:40 - 9:11
    capitalism,
  • 10:41 - 11:52
    I've got strong wind
  • 10:48 - 2:39
    possessions
  • 10:58 - 22:38
    the encyclical
  • 10:59 - 8:30
    based on the past,
  • 10:59 - 24:02
    a lot of the language of the kind
    of justice movement has just
  • 11:02 - 23:12
    and it
  • 11:03 - 7:45
    He also dismissed those who argue
  • 11:04 - 12:35
    that kind of deeper
  • 11:06 - 10:58
    so-called market solutions it very
  • 11:10 - 19:23
    it is also a challenge to Hillary
    Clinton and Barack Obama
  • 11:15 - 20:07
    know I'm not aware of all
    the environmental law.
  • 11:16 - 5:07
    because
  • 11:19 - 15:32
    I mean just for people to understand
    what this encyclical is the
  • 11:24 - 16:15
    large part of the green movement
  • 11:34 - 18:04
    where it
  • 11:34 - 16:47
    you know this goes a lot deeper
    than that and says no.
  • 11:37 - 8:59
    climate change is already happening
  • 11:37 - 12:39
    explicitly the power dynamics
  • 11:47 - 20:37
    Vatican,
  • 11:57 - 10:59
    It's gonna be a tool for social movements,
  • 11:58 - 19:38
    Yes,
  • 11:59 - 11:30
    which is also addressed
  • 12:00 - 6:04
    We're joined now by 2 guests Naomi
    Klein is the author of this
  • 12:01 - 23:11
    on climate change.
  • 12:08 - 5:59
    Earlier today,
  • 12:10 - 6:43
    the encyclical for radical change,
  • 12:12 - 9:36
    a grief-stricken warning there
    were having this conversation.
  • 12:13 - 16:33
    of
  • 12:16 - 20:16
    from
  • 12:18 - 9:30
    as as thrilled as I am
  • 12:19 - 14:30
    in Argentina
  • 12:21 - 18:43
    focused and will continue to focus
  • 12:31 - 19:42
    is the foreign grounding
  • 12:33 - 19:43
    an inadequate
  • 12:34 - 15:54
    Because
  • 12:39 - 17:29
    at this
  • 12:47 - 15:59
    There are also part of the
    human population who,
  • 12:54 - 12:55
    actively working against
  • 13:00 - 14:22
    well world owes to the poor.
  • 13:01 - 2:26
    and an end to obstructionist attitudes
    that sometimes put profit
  • 13:01 - 17:54
    feeling this cultural frenetic
    conception that is entirely
  • 13:05 - 16:36
    And I think a lot of
  • 13:07 - 9:49
    Naomi let's begin with you
  • 13:18 - 15:29
    just now actually,
  • 13:21 - 15:52
    for decades.
  • 13:27 - 7:58
    you erased
  • 13:30 - 18:20
    and
  • 13:32 - 7:53
    to and keep the
  • 13:33 - 23:13
    requires
  • 13:35 - 4:59
    We turn now to the Vatican where Pope
    Francis has called for swift
  • 13:37 - 13:09
    that for us is a source of inspiration.
  • 13:39 - 15:32
    and I think this is one of the most
    significant thing about the
  • 13:49 - 10:32
    vainly showing off their
    supposed superiority
  • 13:50 - 19:21
    and this is happening,
  • 13:56 - 15:48
    while it's not heroes,
  • 13:56 - 11:59
    And you know I do you know the
    laws are also inadequate,
  • 13:59 - 9:42
    and its effects have already been
    disastrous on the poorest
  • 14:02 - 1:15
    urging world leaders to hear a quote
  • 14:03 - 3:15
    mean Goodman with their main chair.
  • 14:03 - 5:56
    on climate change and the environment.
  • 14:05 - 17:18
    that technology will solve all
    environmental problems in the
  • 14:06 - 10:47
    from Ecuador
  • 14:07 - 2:10
    would destroy the planet.
  • 14:10 - 17:53
    We have already expressed our gratitude
    to his holiness because we
  • 14:17 - 19:57
    it's
  • 14:20 - 9:11
    there are
  • 14:21 - 16:43
    the impact that it will have.
  • 14:22 - 14:23
    This is a frightening
  • 14:31 - 21:01
    which
  • 14:34 - 7:07
    So we are absolutely grateful
    for this in cyclical
  • 14:48 - 4:29
    Quote
  • 14:49 - 18:10
    seek a confidence
  • 14:56 - 18:59
    and bringing together the fight
    against poverty with
  • 14:56 - 14:57
    the 16th,
  • 14:57 - 12:58
    so a lot of
  • 15:04 - 18:56
    of a religious talking
    about climate change
  • 15:07 - 19:07
    that
  • 15:08 - 8:20
    specifically criticizes
  • 15:14 - 0:58
    France has called for a change of
    lifestyle and rich countries
  • 15:16 - 7:57
    everywhere
  • 15:17 - 15:20
    Peter Turks and himself of Ghana.
  • 15:20 - 8:51
    that the picture
  • 15:20 - 19:52
    We urge you to stay with us.
  • 15:21 - 8:03
    and it has a very specific
  • 15:24 - 10:27
    In the United States because the
    pope is coming out so clearly
  • 15:28 - 13:49
    difference right say
  • 15:29 - 18:59
    I mean,
  • 15:30 - 16:51
    The document is
  • 15:30 - 10:12
    carbon markets a carbon offsetting
  • 15:30 - 11:51
    in the in the dark
  • 15:32 - 16:03
    Hope Francis said.
  • 15:32 - 8:23
    darkness.
  • 15:32 - 18:43
    number of languages.
  • 15:35 - 15:07
    but I mean I have to say
    on a personal level,
  • 15:38 - 17:48
    Well,
  • 15:42 - 11:15
    and leaving behind them
    so much waste which
  • 15:43 - 11:36
    the side of the world that we
    don't normally hear from
  • 15:47 - 9:48
    debt.
  • 15:48 - 5:20
    many of whom are Catholic,
  • 15:52 - 20:02
    You know,
  • 15:59 - 6:12
    at the least responsibility
    for what is happening.
  • 16:01 - 22:32
    and you know that he's he's.
  • 16:02 - 2:27
    . A major 3 theme of the encyclical
    as the disparity between rich
  • 16:03 - 5:27
    Protecting the planet is a moral
    and ethical imperative
  • 16:05 - 4:26
    is
  • 16:08 - 11:20
    5 months ahead of the UN climate
  • 16:09 - 6:10
    NASDAQ.
  • 16:20 - 9:53
    respond to the Pope's encyclical
  • 16:23 - 14:25
    of the climate change discussion
  • 16:25 - 15:16
    if it were the case,
  • 16:29 - 11:10
    frankly,
  • 16:36 - 8:29
    you know I think that this you
    know in the quicker we cannot
  • 16:36 - 12:10
    Now like you mentioned the fact that
    the pope calls repeatedly in
  • 16:38 - 12:49
    at The Hague crime
  • 16:39 - 20:49
    in
  • 16:43 - 9:48
    It's hard to respond to a document
    that runs a close to 200 pages
  • 16:47 - 19:38
    We need to get at the
  • 16:47 - 8:50
    that period earlier this week,
  • 16:56 - 15:38
    that the language of climate debt
  • 16:58 - 10:30
    Probably the most significant parliament
  • 17:01 - 15:22
    a challenge
  • 17:07 - 4:58
    A
  • 17:10 - 9:11
    This is
  • 17:11 - 20:11
    like
  • 17:16 - 10:59
    my is therefore an appeal
    for responsibility,
  • 17:18 - 16:02
    global hunger and poverty will be
    resolved simply by market growth
  • 17:19 - 22:19
    we're,
  • 17:23 - 10:06
    Catholic weekly magazine published
    by the Cheshire.
  • 17:25 - 12:47
    themselves from it.
  • 17:26 - 5:59
    She's been invited to
    speak at the Vatican,
  • 17:33 - 7:37
    just settle on a free oil is the
    executive director of Greenpeace
  • 17:37 - 18:39
    we just will just have a green growth.
  • 17:41 - 22:32
    and certainly a possibility.
  • 17:41 - 24:42
    use of that term.
  • 17:43 - 13:05
    it really the root causes.
  • 17:48 - 10:31
    this is really the first
    3rd world and cyclical
  • 17:49 - 14:10
    As Greenpeace.
  • 17:52 - 5:26
    on an African Americans.
  • 17:53 - 4:27
    need to see climate change as a
    mostly moral and ethical issue
  • 17:53 - 22:53
    and they're
  • 18:00 - 24:30
    the fight
  • 18:01 - 12:03
    you know this is coming from a pope
  • 18:12 - 12:34
    do you more deeply into the darkness.
  • 18:14 - 15:35
    we'll hear
  • 18:15 - 17:37
    trial they have it all ways and say no,
  • 18:20 - 16:41
    conference in Paris
  • 18:22 - 10:43
    change
  • 18:24 - 17:36
    but it also recognizes
  • 18:25 - 21:48
    there is an understanding that
    it does take time to digest a
  • 18:39 - 18:40
    Well just how
  • 18:41 - 3:44
    before I you know I would really like to
  • 18:42 - 20:13
    you know closely enough
  • 18:43 - 19:45
    It's been released and how large it is
  • 18:46 - 8:39
    have accepted and this invitation to
  • 18:53 - 5:14
    dangerous
  • 18:59 - 11:41
    I've never seen such a mainstream
  • 19:01 - 11:03
    so this is coming from
  • 19:07 - 21:49
    that affect the environment,
  • 19:08 - 16:01
    the language is the recognition
    that there is a
  • 19:19 - 17:10
    in Charleston.
  • 19:21 - 14:42
    few hours ago
  • 19:21 - 15:45
    but I think it's too easy to say
    that this is just a challenge
  • 19:27 - 20:19
    it is a rebuke of a slow action
  • 19:30 - 17:21
    very specifically
  • 19:31 - 19:54
    a divide here between the rich
    countries in the poor
  • 19:34 - 23:06
    you never heard in mainstream circles.
  • 19:36 - 25:56
    and
  • 19:38 - 6:59
    you know.
  • 19:42 - 5:44
    is blowing through
  • 19:44 - 11:47
    complete merger between the crime
    and justice movement in the
  • 19:52 - 14:33
    where are still
  • 19:52 - 13:56
    how there may be lots that
    the laws are enforced.
  • 19:54 - 13:55
    originally
  • 19:55 - 13:26
    to
  • 19:55 - 24:16
    the words of Cardinal
  • 19:56 - 10:17
    and
  • 20:02 - 22:13
    going back to Paul.
  • 20:06 - 12:18
    and I think that this intervention
  • 20:07 - 13:50
    on the side of climate science
    and saying this is real,
  • 20:07 - 10:39
    I wish to pay the darkness.
  • 20:08 - 21:41
    the content is actually not
    so new for Catholics
  • 20:13 - 9:35
    be referring to there.
  • 20:13 - 18:55
    it's going to push political leaders
  • 20:19 - 11:33
    and this is a really significant
    because I think large parts
  • 20:19 - 19:01
    a cardinal from Ghana,
  • 20:20 - 9:41
    look at
  • 20:21 - 10:02
    about
  • 20:27 - 22:17
    out
  • 20:33 - 19:54
    that comes,
  • 20:37 - 23:37
    you know,
  • 20:40 - 13:11
    issues
  • 20:50 - 18:31
    And in a corrupt
  • 21:01 - 16:03
    very strong into journey
  • 21:04 - 15:35
    in that way,
  • 21:07 - 17:09
    when he referring to corruption
  • 21:09 - 11:22
    with the Catholic weekly America
  • 21:20 - 9:52
    that the,
  • 21:21 - 15:32
    says that
  • 21:44 - 17:05
    unsustainable.
  • 21:45 - 13:46
    change
  • 21:45 - 19:57
    between the first and second world powers
  • 21:46 - 8:47
    Well,
  • 21:47 - 16:39
    Nathan Schneider your columnist
  • 21:49 - 20:13
    could you talk specifically about
    that about the laws that he may
  • 21:59 - 15:23
    and I believe he referring
    to the influence of
  • 22:12 - 18:14
    We're gonna break and when we come back,
  • 22:13 - 20:35
    The 6th and John Polis second
  • 22:19 - 14:11
    we're all in this together
  • 22:32 - 12:14
    Earth has our common home
  • 22:32 - 8:54
    This is a phrase that was
  • 22:47 - 11:08
    from the
  • 22:48 - 8:59
    document
  • 22:53 - 23:34
    calls for
  • 22:53 - 23:24
    who was shaped
  • 23:06 - 14:47
    Until
  • 23:11 - 19:12

    with climate change.
  • 23:23 - 14:15
    a reproductive rights and freedom
  • 23:24 - 24:45
    and this is a cry
  • 23:37 - 20:40
    I mean obviously there are huge
    differences that remain over
  • 23:43 - 8:36
    and another thing I have
    to say if you know I am.
  • 23:46 - 16:28
    the developing world from
  • 23:51 - 15:02
    for change.
  • 24:07 - 12:09
    it was drafted by
  • 24:18 - 18:00
