Not Synced(Leonardo DiCaprio) Ancient life on earth.
-
Not SyncedOver millions of years
plants and animals lived and died. -
Not SyncedThat decomposed life sunk
deep into the ground, and as a result, -
Not Syncedan ancient menace was created...
fossil fuels. -
Not SyncedBlack oil, coal, and gas, have created
modern society as we know it. -
Not SyncedThis ancient sunlight unleashed
global industrial power on a scale -
Not Syncednever before witnessed
in the history of the planet. -
Not SyncedBut when burnt into the atmosphere,
carbon causes climate change. -
Not Synced97% of climate scientists
agree that climate change -
Not Syncedis happening now
and is caused by human activity. -
Not SyncedHowever, the fossil fuel industry continues
to pull that carbon out of the ground. -
Not SyncedThey drill, they extract, making trillions of dollars.
-
Not SyncedThey frack, they mine, earning astronomical profits.
-
Not SyncedWe need to keep this carbon in the ground.
-
Not SyncedIn order to prevent a catastrophic
warming of the planet -
Not Syncedby 2 degrees Celsius, we cannot burn
more than 500 gigatons -
Not Syncedof carbon into the atmosphere.
But the fossil fuel industry has access -
Not Syncedto five times more than that.
Almost 2800 gigatons of carbon pollution -
Not Syncedis ready to be pulled out of the ground,
sold, and burned. -
Not SyncedWe 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 -
Not Syncedthat carbon pollution
is causing this challenge, -
Not Syncedand that there is a simple solution...
-
Not SyncedPut a price on carbon pollution.
-
Not SyncedIn the United States we spend
$110 billion federal dollars -
Not Syncedon climate change events.
That's about $300 a person in tax dollars. -
Not Synced>> But we certainly need a price
on carbon pollution. -
Not SyncedRight now it's a free good and we're using
the atmosphere as a sewer, and that has -
Not Synceda real cost. 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 Syncedthere was so much pollution,
as you see in Beijing and around -
Not SyncedChina today, that you actually couldn't
see six straight feet in front of you. -
Not SyncedThey put a price on pollution,
and it changed. -
Not Synced>> You have to put a price on carbon,
and that can either happen -
Not Syncedby carbon trading or through a carbon tax.
There's a moral imperative there, -
Not Syncedbut there's also a business imperative.
-
Not Synced>> Senator Boxer and I have
introduced legislation to do just that. -
Not SyncedWe are going to do it in a way
that impacts fewer than 3,000 -
Not Syncedof the most significant fossil fuel
polluters in the country. -
Not SyncedAnd the reason you do it, is people should
-
Not Syncednot have the " freedom"
to destroy the planet. -
Not SyncedThey cannot continue to be able
to do that with impunity -
Not Syncedto the tune now of a trillion dollars
a year. We need to redirect these -
Not Syncedsubsidies that encourage innovation.
That's what we need in the world. -
Not SyncedBut the biggest barrier is money
from fossil industries that want to defend -
Not Syncedtheir market share, and which I consider
the industries' walking butt. They've got -
Not Syncedtremendous assets underground
that they want to be able to mine. -
Not SyncedThose are trillions of dollars of assets
that the fossil energy companies used -
Not Syncedto evaluate their worth in the stock
market. And the fact that we want -
Not Syncedto strand them, to leave them
underground, is not going over real well -
Not Syncedin those industries. But in fact,
if we wanted to head off the worst -
Not Synceduncontrollable damages from
climate change, that's what we have to do. -
Not SyncedThom Hartmann: Finland and the
Netherlands implemented a carbon tax -
Not Syncedback in 1990. Both, putting a price tag
on each ton of CO2 poison. -
Not Synced>> In the beginning of the '90s
there was a deep understanding -
Not Syncedthat we should do something.
We think that the Finnish economy -
Not Syncedshould be based on sustainable energy
in order to make our society competitive -
Not Syncedand in order to save our planet,
which is, of course, the main target. -
Not SyncedThom Hartmann : Since then, several other
nations have created their own versions, -
Not Syncedincluding Norway, Costa Rica,
and the United Kingdom. -
Not SyncedIreland passed a carbon tax in 2010.
-
Not Synced>> It was very simple to introduce.
When they see a carbon tax in place, -
Not Syncedpeople know that they can invest
in alternatives that actually -
Not Syncedcut out the use of fossil fuel.
-
Not SyncedIt starts to have that effect improving
energy efficiency in your homes -
Not Syncedand improving industries'
energy efficiency. -
Not SyncedAnd what we've seen in the last
5 years is we doubled amount -
Not Syncedof renewable energy supplies,
so the benefit for the consumer -
Not Syncedis if through those signals you can
cut out the wasteful use of energy, -
Not Syncedthen everyone is saving money
and it more than covers the cost -
Not Syncedof the carbon tax in the first place.
-
Not SyncedThom Hartmann: In Australia, renewables
like wind are now cheaper -
Not Syncedthan fossil fuels like coal. Recently
China put a price on carbon -
Not Syncedin over 7 regions and will add more.
-
Not SyncedNow it's up to the United States,
where there's good news at a local level. -
Not SyncedIn 2007, Boulder, Colorado
passed a carbon tax -
Not Syncedcharging $13 for every metric ton of CO2.
-
Not Synced>> The carbon tax was generated
and voted into place by Boulder voters. -
Not SyncedSo it's a surcharge on electricity consumption and it's applied to residential,
-
Not Syncedcommercial, and industrial customers here in Boulder.
-
Not SyncedThe effect has been really tremendous.
-
Not SyncedSo once the carbon tax went into place,
-
Not Syncedit has generated about
$1.8 million a year. -
Not SyncedWhat's been extraordinary is that we've
been able to really turn the curve, -
Not Syncedso to speak, on our emissions
just on demand side alone. -
Not Synced>> We actually proposed that every single
dollar go back to American households. -
Not SyncedCarbon tax is the right way to go and is
actually the conservative answer -
Not Syncedto global warming.
-
Not Synced>> Finally we're at the point where wind
power and solar are coming down in price -
Not Syncedin a quarter of the United States.
Solar voltaics are already cost effective. -
Not SyncedLast year more wind power was
added than natural gas power. -
Not SyncedAnd this is true around the world.
We have the technologies at hand. -
Not SyncedWe are ready now to really
ramp up deployment. -
Not Synced>> The figures for Ireland I think
show an example that you can actually -
Not Syncedstart cutting out the carbon
and your economy still holds up. -
Not SyncedThe world didn't come to an end.
I think it's a lesson -
Not Syncedfor the rest of the world.
-
Not Synced>> We've been disappointed by the
national policymakers who haven't been -
Not Syncedable to resolve their differences about
this and time is growing very, very short. -
Not SyncedPresident Obama is the last president
with a chance to confront this problem -
Not Syncedin a way that may head off
the worst of the damage. -
Not Synced>> But given the severity of the problem
right now, we're not moving fast enough. -
Not SyncedWe're looking at a fight
to save this planet. -
Not SyncedAnd we have got to be bold
and we have got to be aggressive. -
Not Synced>> If it's not going to happen
at the federal level or the state level, -
Not Syncedwe in the communities,
where the innovation occurs, -
Not Syncedwhere we're gonna be on the front lines
of the impact of climate change, -
Not Syncedwe need to take it in our own hands
-
Not Syncedand make the changes that we need to see.
-
Not Synced(Leonardo DiCaprio) If national
governments won't take action, -
Not Syncedyour community can.
-
Not SyncedWe no longer need the dead economy
-
Not Syncedof the fossil fuel industry.
-
Not SyncedWe can move our economy town by town,
state by state to renewable energy -
Not Syncedand a sustainable future.

Hi Robert,
I'm so glad you undertook the captioning of this video, and the way you are splitting captions.
Thank you!
Robert_CSR1970
Claude:
Thank you for the encouragement. Very much appreciated. I hope to try and do the entire video.
Claude Almansi
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
