Carbon

    [ominous music]
    (Leonardo DiCaprio) Ancient life on earth.
  • 0:06 - 0:11
    Over millions of years plants and animals lived and died.
  • 0:11 - 0:16
    That decomposed life sunk deep into the ground, and as a result,
  • 0:16 - 0:22
    an ancient menace was created...fossil fuels.
  • 0:22 - 0:28
    Black oil, coal, and gas, have created modern society as we know it.
  • 0:28 - 0:33
    This ancient sunlight unleashed global industrial power on a scale
  • 0:33 - 0:37
    never before witnessed in the history of the planet.
  • 0:37 - 0:41
    But when burnt into the atmosphere, carbon causes climate change.
  • 0:41 - 0:46
    Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate change
  • 0:46 - 0:50
    is happening now and is caused by human activity.
  • 0:50 - 0:54
    However, the fossil fuel industry continues to pull that carbon out of the ground.
  • 0:54 - 0:59
    They drill, they extract, making trillions of dollars.
  • 0:59 - 1:05
    They frack, they mine, earning astronomical profits.
  • 1:05 - 1:09
    We need to keep this carbon in the ground.
  • Not Synced
    In order to prevent a catastrophic warming of the planet by 2 degrees Celsius,
  • Not Synced
    we cannot burn more than 500 gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere.
  • Not Synced
    But the fossil fuel industry has access to five times more than that.
  • Not Synced
    Almost twenty-eight-hundred gigatons of carbon pollution is ready to be pulled out of the ground, sold, and burned.
  • Not Synced
    We must fight to keep this carbon in the ground., and it is possible.
  • Not Synced
    - People are ready for conversation. They're ready to understand that carbon pollution is causing this challenge,
  • Not Synced
    And that there is a simple solution. Put a price on carbon pollution.
  • Not Synced
    In the United States we spend $110 billion federal dollars on climate change events.
  • Not Synced
    That's about $300 a person in tax dollars.
  • Not Synced
    - But which certainly need a price on carbon pollution.
  • Not Synced
    Right now it's a free good and we're using the atmosphere as a sewer and that has a real cost.
  • Not Synced
    And that cost should be reflected in the cost of carbon pollution.
  • Not Synced
    - In the '50s in London, based on the industrial revolution,
  • Not Synced
    there was so much pollution, as you see in Beijing and around China today,
  • Not Synced
    that you actually couldn't see six straight feet in front of you.
  • Not Synced
    They put a price on pollution, and it changed.
  • Not Synced
    - You have to put a price on carbon,
  • Not Synced
    and that can either happen by carbon trading or through a carbon tax.
  • Not Synced
    There's a moral imperative there, but there's also a business imperative.
  • Not Synced
    - Senator Boxer and I have introduced legislation to do just that. We are going
  • Not Synced
    to do it in a way that impacts fewer than 3,000 of the most significant
  • Not Synced
    fossil fuel polluters in the country. And the reason you do it , is people should not have
  • Not Synced
    the " freedom" to destroy the planet.
  • Not Synced
    They cannot continue to be able to do that with impunity.
  • Not Synced

  • Hi Robert,

    I'm so glad you undertook the captioning of this video, and the way you are splitting captions.

    Thank you!

  • Claude:

    Thank you for the encouragement. Very much appreciated. I hope to try and do the entire video.

  • That's great, Roberto! However, don't hesitate to ask if you want some help: e.g. the other voices than DiCaprio are identified in on-video texts: you could re-use that, or simply mar changes of speakers with ">>".

    Best

    Claude

  • Hey there, Claude:

    Thanks mucho for the input and tips. I did actually finish the whole thing!!! Yaaaaay! Whew!! ... but just haven't done the sync yet, and still not sure I like all the groupings yet.

    As far as speaker ID, DiCaprio and Hartmann I know of and identified. The rest of them, I used the "-" indication as per the "Rev" company guidelines I trained and tested for and the Amara guidlines. However, I started out using what you suggested, ">>", which I like a lot better, and may go back and change it to that. However, I was looking into Amara's offer of doing paid work for them, and so was trying to stick more to their style since they want to see what one's subtitling work looks like. Anyway, next stop, "sync."

    Again, thanks for the support and suggestions. I hope to have this project finished early this week.

    Appreciatively,

    Robert
