stops you, in your tracks, dead stop,
take a breath, you know, there's
nothing more precious than that.
Alvin's neighbors were the lucky ones,
hurricane Katrina was America's worst
weather related event to that date.
And it was just a taste of what was to come.
"It is our fault," after years of debate
, some of the world's top scientists.
"Unequivocable," this the word
Contributing to changes in our earth climate,
and that issue is no longer up to debate.

In Andermatt,
they've covered the glacier with a special
protective sheet reduce its summer melt.
One way I do my bit for the environment
is turning to 30 with Ariel.
This is offsetting all those flights that I take
that I have to for my job.
David Cameron even wears recycled shoes
made from old fireman's trousers.
Despite all the efforts to control pollution
and its effect in our climate,
the level of greenhouse gas emission has reached
a record highand shows no signs of being reversed.
Despite the Kyoto treaty, and all the talk
of reducing emission of carbon dioxide,
level of this key greenhouse gas
heading up to work, searching for more oil.
Ironically, the oil infrastructure off the coast of New Orleans
suffered major damage during the hurricane,
out repair and just 9 months later,
the rigs are online, and
everyone's back at work.
Oil was formed when ancient plant life in the ocean
absorbed energy from the ancient sun.
When these plants died, they settled in the ocean floor
along with the dead bodies of tons and tons of ocean creatures.
Over millennia, temperature increased
and the organic matter was gradually cooked
until the sun's energy
analyzed where the oil might be,
into the seabed to collect samples.
Hey you go Al, get yourself. Thank you
We get the samples and analyze them
for the fossil contents. The microscopic fossils.
And it's just another geo-scientific tool
in order to improve your possibility of finding oil.
In my opinion, probably arrogantly so,
but it's pretty high calling
actually to try to do that,
to try to figure out or maybe
take apart, you know, time itself.
Go back a few thousand years,
and the energy available to grow our crops or feed animals
was limited by the daily sunlight falling on the earth.
But now,
we gorge ourselves on hundreds of years
worth of sunlight every single year.
Every part of modern life is
now literally made of oil.
From CDs to plastic bags,
to medicines and computers.
hair gel and cell phones.
