Racing Extinction Page #2
Here's the male's song again.
That's the last male of a species,
singing for a female
who will never come.
He is totally alone.
And now his voice is gone.
In the brief lifetime
of this collection,
70 years or so,
many of the species that
were recorded are now extinct.
So the repository
is a living example
of the massive rate
of extinction that's happening.
There's been five major extinctions
in the history of the planet.
There's the Ordovician,
the Devonian,
the Permian...
...there was the triassic-jurassic,
...and then the K-t extinction,
...the one that killed
the dinosaurs.
It's very difficult
to comprehend deep time.
You know, 4.6 billion years
of Earth's history.
But if you take, say,
the history of the Earth
and try to squeeze it into
a 24-hour clock,
where does man fit
on that clock?
A few seconds before midnight.
That's it.
We're the new kid on the block.
What we're seeing now...
...is called the anthropocene,
the new epoch.
Anthropocene means
the time of humans.
It's when the impact of humans
in the fossil record
of the future.
there was an asteroid
that struck
and caused the dinosaurs
to go extinct.
When it comes to
the sixth extinction event,
we have no problem
identifying the cause.
Humanity has become the asteroid.
We're on that tipping point now,
where it's either...
too late or just the beginning
of a movement.
So, there's two pieces
of whale and one piece of horse.
At the Hump restaurant,
we knew that they were
selling whale meat.
But there's also something
bigger going on.
We heard that
the Obama administration
was in closed-doors negotiations
with the Japanese
to go do commercial whaling again.
And I thought,
"Well, if we could prove
"that endangered whales
"on the shores of America,
"we would stop
that conversation."
Stop the murder!
Stop the death!
Hump restaurant is to blame!
The animal-rights community
took it up,
but the restaurant
didn't close down.
There's this one guy
his name is Ady Gil.
He took some gear and put it out
in front of the Hump restaurant,
So, what are you doing?
I'm protesting.
Yesterday, there were like
200 people here, protesting,
and l thought, you know,
somebody needs to keep
the pressure on.
If you look at the Academy
Awards and the Golden Globes,
those are his screens,
and that's all his projections.
And, so, he parks this Ferrari
right next to the van,
and tells Ady, he says,
"How long
And he thought that
