E.O. Wilson: [Biologist & Entomologist, Harvard University] A few hundred years down the line, they'll look back and say, the dark ages began with the twenty-first century. Van Jones: [Founder, Green for All] People are complaining about the economic crisis we have right now? You ain't seen nothing yet. You know, if we continue down this suicidal pathway where we basically turn living stuff into dead stuff and call that economic growth, this will look like the good old days. James Howard Kunstler: [Author, The Long Emergency] One of our political leaders said, not too long ago, that the American way of life is non-negotiable. And we're gonna discover the hard way that, when you don't negotiate the circumstances that are sent to you by the universe, you automatically get assigned a new negotiating partner. Named reality. And then it will negotiate for you. You don't even have to be in the room. E.O. Wilson: [Biologist & Entomologist, Harvard University] Humanity could very well be in hell, where hell is defined as truth realized too late. Host: Beyond the familiar technologies, amazing new ones are already in the works. Fields of solar balloons that could power thousands of homes a day... a nuclear fusion facility that could produce the energy of a tiny man-made star... Getting enough of these projects up and running will take people. That means jobs. Host: By 2100, our world could be transformed. HEIDI CULLEN: [Climatologist, Climate Central] Just, imagine a city that's not polluted, that has a great transportation infrastructure... MITCHELL JOACHIM: [Architect And Urban Designer] Stackable cars, and they would charge, and be a shared ownership model, and you would just pull out the one that's available that's fully charged. Everything happens inside the city itself. That means our food production, our waste and recycling, our energy. PETER GLEICK: [President, Pacific Institute ] We're going to have joint management of water resources, of energy resources, uh, of disaster management. We're going to be living on a planet where we don't see things at a national level, but we see things at a global level. VAN JONES: [Founder, Green for All] By the time we get to 2100, the challenge of building a global, green economy where we're sharing technologies and where we're not fighting wars over water and oil... That's going to bring out the best in the human family. E.O. WILSON: [Biologist & Entomologist, Harvard University] Humanity will be relatively, disease-free. Children will be treated as rare treasures. PETER DeMENOCAL: [Professor of Environmental Sciences, Columbia University] What most people don't realize is that not only can we change, we must change. And I think that's how you own the future. That's how you take control of your destiny STUART PIMM: [Professor of Conservation Ecology, Duke University] I have huge faith in humanity. THOMAS FRIEDMAN: [Foreign Affairs Columnist, The New York Times] And we will be able to create a world that will be a livable planet for our kids and their kids. That is our opportunity. That is our obligation. ALEX STEFFEN: [Author, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the Twenty-First Century] Kids born today will see us navigate past the first greatest test of humanity, which is: can we actually be smart enough to live on a planet without destroying it? |
