Averting the climate crisis | Al Gore

Translator: tado tado Reviewer: Eni Bacac

Thank you so much, Chris.

Hvala, Chris. Res mi je v veliko čast,

And it's truly a great honor to have the opportunity

da imam priložnost že drugič stati na tem odru. Zelo sem vam hvaležen.

to come to this stage twice; I'm extremely grateful.

I have been blown away by this conference,

Čisto sem navdušen nad to konferenco in želel bi se zahvaliti vsem za veliko

and I want to thank all of you for the many nice comments

prijaznih komentarjev o tem, kar sem govoril prejšnič.

about what I had to say the other night.

And I say that sincerely,

In to govorim iskreno, deloma zato - (Narejeno zastoka) - ker to potrebujem...(Smeh)

partly because (Mock sob)

I need that.

(Laughter)

Put yourselves in my position.

Postavite se v moj položaj!

(Laughter)

I flew on Air Force Two for eight years.

Osem let sem letel z Air Force Two.

(Laughter)

Now I have to take off my shoes or boots to get on an airplane!

Sedaj si moram sezuti čevlje, da lahko vstopim na letalo!

(Laughter)

(Smeh) (Aplavz)

(Applause)

I'll tell you one quick story

Povedal vam bom kratko zgodbo, da ponazorim, kako sem jaz to doživljal.

to illustrate what that's been like for me.

(Laughter)

It's a true story -- every bit of this is true.

To je resnična zgodba - vsi deli so resnični!

Soon after Tipper and I left the -- (Mock sob) White House --

Kmalu potem, ko sva s Tipper zapustila -- (Narejeno zastoka) -- Belo hišo -- (Smeh)

(Laughter)

we were driving from our home in Nashville to a little farm we have

sva se peljala od našega doma v Nashvillu proti mali kmetiji, ki jo imamo

50 miles east of Nashville.

50 milj vzhodno od Nashvilla -

Driving ourselves.

voziti sva morala sama.

(Laughter)

I know it sounds like a little thing to you, but --

Vem, da to zveni kot majhna reč, ampak... (Smeh)

(Laughter)

I looked in the rear-view mirror

... pogledal sem v vzvratno ogledalo in kar naenkrat me je zadelo.

and all of a sudden it just hit me.

There was no motorcade back there.

Zadaj ni bilo avtomobilske povorke.

(Laughter)

You've heard of phantom limb pain?

Ste že slišali za bolečine v fantomskem udu? (Smeh)

(Laughter)

This was a rented Ford Taurus.

To je bil najet Ford Taurus. Bil je čas za večerjo

(Laughter)

It was dinnertime,

and we started looking for a place to eat.

in začela sva iskati kakšno restavracijo.

We were on I-40.

Bila sva na I-40. Zapeljala sva na izvoz 238, Lebanon, Tennessee.

We got to Exit 238, Lebanon, Tennessee.

We got off the exit, we found a Shoney's restaurant.

Prišla sva z avtoceste, začela iskati in našla restavracijo Shoney.

Low-cost family restaurant chain, for those of you who don't know it.

Nizkocenovna družinska veriga restavracij, za tiste, ki je ne poznate.

We went in and sat down at the booth, and the waitress came over,

Vstopila sva, se usedla za mizo in prišla je natakarica,

made a big commotion over Tipper.

in naredila veliko kolobocijo okoli Tipper. (Smeh)

(Laughter)

She took our order, and then went to the couple in the booth next to us,

Vzela je najino naročilo, šla k paru za sosednjo mizo in

and she lowered her voice so much,

stišala svoj glas, tako da sem se moral precej naprezati, da sem slišal, kaj je govorila.

I had to really strain to hear what she was saying.

And she said "Yes, that's former Vice President Al Gore

Rekla je: "Ja, to je bivši podpredsednik Al Gore in njegova žena Tipper."

and his wife, Tipper."

And the man said,

In moški je rekel: "Je pa res prišel daleč, mar ne?" (Smeh)

"He's come down a long way, hasn't he?"

(Laughter)

(Applause)

There's been kind of a series of epiphanies.

Potem je sledila še vrsta dogodkov okoli tega.

(Laughter)

The very next day, continuing the totally true story,

Prav naslednji dan, če nadaljujem to resnično zgodbo,

I got on a G-V to fly to Africa to make a speech in Nigeria,

sem z G-5 letel v Afriko, kjer sem imel govor v Nigeriji,

in the city of Lagos, on the topic of energy.

v mestu Lagos, na temo energije.

And I began the speech by telling them the story

In začel sem svoj govor s tem, da sem jim povedal zgodbo o tem, kaj se je zgodilo

of what had just happened the day before in Nashville.

prejšnji dan v Nashvillu.

And I told it pretty much the same way I've just shared it with you:

In povedal sem jo približno takšno, kakršno sem sedaj delil z vami.

Tipper and I were driving ourselves,

S Tipper sva vozila sama, poceni družinska restavracija iz verige Shoney, itd.,

Shoney's, low-cost family restaurant chain,

what the man said -- they laughed.

karkoli sem rekel - so se smejali...

I gave my speech, then went back out to the airport to fly back home.

Opravil sem torej z govorom, se vrnil na letališče in odletel nazaj proti domu.

I fell asleep on the plane

Na letalu sem spal vse dokler nismo sredi noči

until, during the middle of the night, we landed

on the Azores Islands for refueling.

pristali na Azorskih otokih, da bi napolnili gorivo.

I woke up, they opened the door, I went out to get some fresh air,

Zbudil sem se, odprli so vrata in stopil sem na svež zrak.

and I looked, and there was a man running across the runway.

Pogledal sem naokoli in neki moški je tekel po stezi.

And he was waving a piece of paper, and he was yelling,

Mahal je s papirjem in kričal:

"Call Washington! Call Washington!"

"Pokličite Washington, pokličite Washington!"

And I thought to myself, in the middle of the night,

Mislil sem si "sredi noči, sredi Atlantika,

in the middle of the Atlantic,

le kaj bi bilo lahko narobe v Washingtonu?"

what in the world could be wrong in Washington?

Potem sem se spomnil, da bi lahko bilo takih stvari veliko.

Then I remembered it could be a bunch of things.

(Smeh)

(Laughter)

But what it turned out to be,

Ampak, kot se je izkazalo, je bilo moje osebje zelo razburjeno, saj je

was that my staff was extremely upset

because one of the wire services in Nigeria had already written a story

eden izmed elektronskih medijev v Nigeriji že napisal zgodbo o mojem govoru,

about my speech,

and it had already been printed in cities

ki je bila natisnjena v mestih širom Združenih držav Amerike

all across the United States of America.

It was printed in Monterey, I checked.

-- natisnjena je bila v Montereyu, sem preveril. Glasila se je:

(Laughter)

And the story began,

"Former Vice President Al Gore announced in Nigeria yesterday," quote:

"Nekdanji podpredsednik Al Gore je včeraj v Nigeriji objavil:

"Z ženo Tipper sva odprla nizkocenovno družinsko restavracijo imenovano Shoney's,

'My wife Tipper and I have opened a low-cost family restaurant'" --

(Laughter)

"'named Shoney's,

and we are running it ourselves.'"

ki jo vodiva sama." (Smeh)

(Laughter)

Before I could get back to U.S. soil,

Preden sem se uspel vrniti na ameriška tla,

David Letterman and Jay Leno had already started in on --

sta David Letterman in Jay Leno že pričela uporabljati to zgodbo;

one of them had me in a big white chef's hat,

eden izmed njiju me je prikazal v velikem belem kuharskem pokrivalu;

Tipper was saying, "One more burger with fries!"

Tipper se je drla:"Še en burger z ocvrtim krompirčkom!"

(Laughter)

Three days later,

Čez tri dni sem prejel lepo, dolgo, na roke napisano pismo od mojega prijatelja, sodelavca

I got a nice, long, handwritten letter

from my friend and partner and colleague Bill Clinton, saying,

in kolega Billa Clintona, kjer mi je pisal, "Čestitke ob novi restavracijii, Al!"

"Congratulations on the new restaurant, Al!"

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

We like to celebrate each other's successes in life.

Rada praznujeva uspehe v življenju drug drugega.

(Laughter)

I was going to talk about information ecology.

Nameraval sem govoriti o okoljski informatiki.

But I was thinking that,

Ampak, ker želim doživljenjsko nastopati na TED-u,

since I plan to make a lifelong habit of coming back to TED,

that maybe I could talk about that another time.

bi lahko o tem mogoče govoril kdaj drugič. (Aplavz)

(Applause)

Chris Anderson: It's a deal!

Chris Anderson: Dogovorjeno!

(Applause)

Al Gore: I want to focus on what many of you have said

Želim se osredotočiti na tisto, za kar me je veliko izmed vas prosilo, naj podrobneje obrazložim.

you would like me to elaborate on:

What can you do about the climate crisis?

Kaj lahko vsak naredi glede podnebne krize? Rad bi začel z --

I want to start with a couple of --

I'm going to show some new images,

Pokazal vam bom nekaj novih podob - samo štiri ali pet.

and I'm going to recapitulate just four or five.

Now, the slide show.

Gremo k prezentaciji. Vsakič, ko je prikazujem, jo osvežim,

I update the slide show every time I give it.

I add new images,

dodam nove podobe, ker se z vsako predstavitvijo naučim nekaj več.

because I learn more about it every time I give it.

It's like beach-combing, you know?

Veste, to je kot igranje v mivki ob morju. Vsakič, ko pride in odide plima,

Every time the tide comes in and out, you find some more shells.

na obali najdeš več školjk.

Just in the last two days, we got the new temperature records in January.

Ravno v zadnjih dveh dneh smo dobili nove temperaturne zapise za januar.

This is just for the United States of America.

To je samo za Združene države Amerike. Zgodovinsko povprečje za

Historical average for Januarys is 31 degrees;

last month was 39.5 degrees.

januar je -0,5 stopinj Celzija. Prejšnji mesec je bilo 3,8 stopinj Celzija.

Now, I know that you wanted some more bad news about the environment --

Vem, da ste želeli še več slabih novic o okolju

I'm kidding.

- šalim se - ampak te slike zajemajo bistvo,

But these are the recapitulation slides,

and then I'm going to go into new material about what you can do.

potem pa bom prešel na nov material o tem, kaj lahko naredite vi.

But I wanted to elaborate on a couple of these.

Še prej pa bi rad kaj več povedal o teh.

First of all, this is where we're projected to go

Torej, to je predviden razvoj prispevkov ZDA h globalnemu segrevanju,

with the U.S. contribution to global warming,

under business as usual.

pod trenutnimi pogoji. Učinkovitost porabljene elektrike oz. vseh virov energije

Efficiency in end-use electricity and end-use of all energy

is the low-hanging fruit.

je tisti lahko dosegljivi cilj. Učinkovitost in ohranjanje:

Efficiency and conservation -- it's not a cost; it's a profit.

to ni strošek, ampak dobiček. Znak je napačen,

The sign is wrong.

It's not negative; it's positive.

ni negativen - je pozitiven. To so naložbe, ki se poplačajo same.

These are investments that pay for themselves.

But they are also very effective in deflecting our path.

So pa tudi zelo učinkovite pri odvračanju z naše poti.

Cars and trucks -- I talked about that in the slideshow,

Avtomobili in tovornjaki - o tem sem govoril v svoji prezentaciji -

but I want you to put it in perspective.

ampak želim, da to postavite v kontekst.

It's an easy, visible target of concern --

To je zelo preprosto določljiv in dobro viden razlog za skrb, kot je tudi prav,

and it should be --

but there is more global warming pollution that comes from buildings

ampak: več onesnaževanja prihaja iz stavb,

than from cars and trucks.

kot iz avtomobilov in tovornjakov.

Cars and trucks are very significant,

Ti so zelo pomembni in mi (v ZDA) imamo najnižje standarde na svetu,

and we have the lowest standards in the world.

And so we should address that. But it's part of the puzzle.

zato bi to morali nasloviti. Je pa to del sestavljanke -

Other transportation efficiency is as important as cars and trucks.

učinkovitost ostalih prevoznih sredstev je prav tako pomembna kot avtomobili in tovornjaki.

Renewables at the current levels of technological efficiency

Obnovljivi viri na trenutni stopnji tehnološke učinkovitosti

can make this much difference.

lahko pomenijo veliko spremembo in skupaj s tem, v kar so Vinod, John Doerr in veliko drugih,

And with what Vinod, and John Doerr and others, many of you here --

tudi nekateri izmed vas tukaj, aktivno vključeni -

there are a lot of people directly involved in this --

this wedge is going to grow much more rapidly

bo ta prepad naraščal veliko hitreje, kot kažejo projekcije.

than the current projection shows it.

Carbon Capture and Sequestration -- that's what CCS stands for --

Zajem in izločanje ogljikovega dioksida - to pomeni okrajšava za CCS -

is likely to become the killer app that will enable us

bo najverjetneje postala ključna komponenta

ki bo omogočila nadaljnjo uporabo fosilnih goriv, ki bo varna.

to continue to use fossil fuels in a way that is safe.

Not quite there yet.

Nismo pa še tako daleč.

OK. Now, what can you do?

OK, torej, kaj lahko naredite vi? Zmanjšajte emisije v vašem domu.

Reduce emissions in your home.

Most of these expenditures are also profitable.

Večina teh izdatkov je tudi rentabilnih.

Insulation, better design.

Izolacija, boljši načrt, kjer je mogoče, kupujte zeleno električno energijo.

Buy green electricity where you can.

I mentioned automobiles -- buy a hybrid.

Omenil sem avtomobile - kupite hibridni avto. Uporabljajte železnice.

Use light rail.

Figure out some of the other options that are much better.

Domislite se drugih možnosti, ki so veliko boljše. To je pomembno.

It's important.

Be a green consumer.

Bodite "zeleni" potrošnik. Z vsakim nakupom imate možnost izbire

You have choices with everything you buy,

between things that have a harsh effect,

med stvarmi, ki imajo negativen učinek ali pa veliko manj

or a much less harsh effect on the global climate crisis.

negativen učinek na globalno podnebno krizo.

Consider this:

Upoštevajte to. Odločite se, da živite podnebju-nevtralno življenje.

Make a decision to live a carbon-neutral life.

Those of you who are good at branding,

Tisti med vami, ki ste dobri v ustvarjanju novih blagovnih znamk,

I'd love to get your advice and help

prav rad bi slišal vaš nasvet in idejo o tem,

on how to say this in a way that connects with the most people.

kako naj to povemo na način, ki bi povezal čimveč ljudi!

It is easier than you think.

Bolj preprosto je, kot si mislite, res!

It really is.

A lot of us in here have made that decision,

Veliko izmed nas tukaj se je že odločilo in res je zelo enostavno

and it is really pretty easy.

It means reduce your carbon dioxide emissions

zmanjšati izpuste ogljikovega dioksida s širokim spektrom odločitev, ki jih sprejemaš

with the full range of choices that you make,

and then purchase or acquire offsets

in kupovati ali pridobivati nadomestke za ostalo, kar še nisi

for the remainder that you have not completely reduced.

popolnoma zmanjšal. Kaj to pomeni, je razloženo na spletni strani www.climatecrisis.net.

And what it means is elaborated at climatecrisis.net.

There is a carbon calculator.

Tam je računalo ogljikovega dioksida. Participant Productions je,

Participant Productions convened --

with my active involvement --

s pomočjo mojega aktivnega vključevanja, sklical vodilne programerje na svetu, ki so

the leading software writers in the world,

on this arcane science of carbon calculation,

iz te skrivnostne znanosti izračunavanja ogljika sestavili

to construct a consumer-friendly carbon calculator.

uporabniku prijazno računalo ogljikovega dioksida.

You can very precisely calculate what your CO2 emissions are,

Tako lahko dokaj natančno izračunate svoje izpuste CO2

and then you will be given options to reduce.

in nato vam bodo ponujene možnosti, kako jih zmanjšati.

And by the time the movie comes out in May,

Do takrat, ko bo izšel film, to je maja, bo posodobljen na različico 2.0

this will be updated to 2.0,

and we will have click-through purchases of offsets.

in tako bomo lahko s klikom kupovali kompenzacije.

Next, consider making your business carbon-neutral.

Dalje, premislite o možnosti ogljiko-nevtralnega poslovnega okolja. Nekateri izmed nas smo to že storili

Again, some of us have done that,

and it's not as hard as you think.

in ni tako težko, kot si mislite. V svoje inovacije vključite podnebju prijazne rešitve,

Integrate climate solutions into all of your innovations,

whether you are from the technology,

pa naj bo to v tehnološki veji ali zabavni industriji,

or entertainment, or design and architecture community.

v oblikovanju ali arhitekturnih skupnostih.

Invest sustainably.

Vlagajte trajnostno, to je omenjal že Majora.

Majora mentioned this.

Listen, if you have invested money with managers who you compensate

Glejte, če ste vlagali denar k menedžerjem

na podlagi njihove letne uspešnosti,

on the basis of their annual performance,

don't ever again complain about quarterly report CEO management.

se nikoli več ne pritožujte nad četrtletnim menedžerskim poročilom.

Over time, people do what you pay them to do.

Čez čas delajo ljudje to, za kar jim plačaš. In če sodijo po tem, kako

And if they judge how much they're going to get paid

bodo plačani glede na vložen kapital

on your capital that they've invested,

based on the short-term returns,

na kratki rok, potem bodo sprejemali tudi kratkoročne odločitve.

you're going to get short-term decisions.

A lot more to be said about that.

O tem bi lahko povedali še veliko.

Become a catalyst of change.

Postanite katalizator sprememb. Učite druge, sami se učite in govorite o tem.

Teach others, learn about it, talk about it.

The movie is a movie version of the slideshow

Film izide - je kot filmska različica slikovne prezentacije,

I gave two nights ago, except it's a lot more entertaining.

ki sem jo prikazoval dva večera nazaj, s to razliko, da je veliko bolj zabaven. Izide torej v maju.

And it comes out in May.

Many of you here have the opportunity to ensure that a lot of people see it.

Veliko izmed vas ima priložnost zagotoviti, da ga bo videlo mnogo ljudi.

Consider sending somebody to Nashville.

Razmišljajte o tem, da bi nekoga poslali v Nashville. Izberite dobro.

Pick well.

And I am personally going to train people to give this slideshow --

In jaz bom osebno izuril te ljudi, da bodo naprej širili te prezentacije, z novim namenom,

re-purposed, with some of the personal stories obviously replaced

s svojimi osebnimi zgodbicami, da zamenjajo generični pristop

with a generic approach,

and it's not just the slides, it's what they mean.

in - to ni samo diapredstavitev, ampak, kar ti diapozitivi pomenijo in kako se medsebojno povezujejo.

And it's how they link together.

And so I'm going to be conducting a course this summer

Ta tečaj bom vodil skozi prihajajoče poletje

for a group of people that are nominated by different folks

za skupino interesentov, ki bo nominirana s strani različnih ljudi, da bi širila to predstavitev

to come and then give it en masse,

in communities all across the country,

med skupnosti po vsej deželi.

and we're going to update the slideshow for all of them every single week,

To predstavitev bomo potem posodabljali vsak teden,

to keep it right on the cutting edge.

da bomo zaobjeli najbolj pereče teme.

Working with Larry Lessig, it will be, somewhere in that process,

V sodelovanju z Larryjem Lessingom bo nekje med tem procesom

posted with tools and limited-use copyrights,

opremljena z orodji in z omejenimi avtorskimi pravicami,

so that young people can remix it and do it in their own way.

da bodo lahko mladi to premešali in si oblikovali po svoje.

(Applause)

(Aplavz)

Where did anybody get the idea

Le kje so dobili idejo, da bi morali ostati daleč stran od politike?

that you ought to stay arm's length from politics?

To ne pomeni, da vas skušam prepričati, da postanite demokrat, če ste republikanec.

It doesn't mean that if you're a Republican,

that I'm trying to convince you to be a Democrat.

We need Republicans as well.

Tudi republikance potrebujemo. To je problem, ki se tiče obeh strank

This used to be a bipartisan issue,

and I know that in this group it really is.

in vem, da je v tej skupini res tako. Postanite politično aktivni.

Become politically active.

Make our democracy work the way it's supposed to work.

Pripravite našo demokracijo do tega, da bo delovala tako, kot bi morala.

Support the idea of capping carbon dioxide emissions --

Podpirajte idejo kritja izpustov ogljikovega dioksida in trgovanja z njimi.

global warming pollution -- and trading it.

Zakaj? Ker dokler bodo Združene države Amerike izven tega svetovnega sistema,

Here's why: as long as the United States is out of the world system,

it's not a closed system.

to ni zaprt sistem.

Once it becomes a closed system, with U.S. participation,

Ko enkrat postane zaprt, vključno z udeležbo ZDA,

then everybody who's on a board of directors --

potem bodo vsi, ki so na mestu direktorskega odbora

how many people here serve on the board of directors

--koliko ljudi tukaj sedi v upravah delniških družb?

of a corporation?

Once it's a closed system,

Ko bo to enkrat zaprt sistem, boste vi pravno odgovorni, če ne boste urgirali pri svojih vodilnih,

you will have legal liability if you do not urge your CEO

da naj pridobijo največji možni dobiček od zmanjševanja in trgovanja z izpusti ogljkovega dioksida,

to get the maximum income from reducing and trading the carbon emissions

that can be avoided.

katerim se lahko izognejo. Trg bo deloval v smeri reševanja tega problema, če bomo uspeli to doseči.

The market will work to solve this problem --

if we can accomplish this.

Help with the mass persuasion campaign that will start this spring.

Pomagajte pri množični kampanji prepričevanja, ki se bo začela to pomlad.

We have to change the minds of the American people.

Spremeniti moramo mišljenje ameriškega naroda. Trenutno namreč

Because presently, the politicians do not have permission

politiki nimajo dovoljenja, da bi storili to, kar je potrebno.

to do what needs to be done.

And in our modern country, the role of logic and reason no longer includes

In v naši moderni državi, vloga logike in razuma nič več ne vključuje

mediating between wealth and power the way it once did.

posredovanja med bogastvom in močjo, kot je to bilo nekoč.

It's now repetition of short, hot-button, 30-second, 28-second television ads.

To je sedaj ponavljanje kratkih, 30-sekundnih, 28-sekundnih televizijskih oglasov.

We have to buy a lot of those ads.

Kupovati moramo veliko teh oglasov.

Let's re-brand global warming, as many of you have suggested.

Dajmo ponovno označiti globano segrevanje, kot vas je veliko izmed vas predlagalo.

I like "climate crisis" instead of "climate collapse,"

Meni je všeč "podnebna kriza" namesto "podnebni propad",

but again, those of you who are good at branding,

ponovno, tisti izmed vas, ki ste dobri v oblikovanju novih znamk, pri tem potrebujem vašo pomoč.

I need your help on this.

Somebody said the test we're facing now, a scientist told me,

Nekdo mi je rekel, da se sedaj soočamo s preizkušnjo,

is whether the combination of an opposable thumb

ali je kombinacija oponiranega palca

and a neocortex is a viable combination.

in neokorteksa, kombinacija, ki je sposobna preživeti.

(Laughter)

That's really true.

To je čisto res. Zadnjič sem že rekel in to bom sedaj ponovil: to ni politična tema.

I said the other night, and I'll repeat now:

this is not a political issue.

Again, the Republicans here -- this shouldn't be partisan.

In še enkrat, vsem republikancem tukaj, to ne sme biti enostransko.

You have more influence than some of us who are Democrats do.

Vi imate več vpliva, kot nekateri izmed nas, ki smo demokrati.

This is an opportunity.

To je priložnost. Ne samo to, idejam, ki so tukaj,

Not just this, but connected to the ideas that are here,

to bring more coherence to them.

moramo doprinesti več skladnosti.

We are one.

Vsi smo eno.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

Najlepša hvala, hvaležen sem vam.

(Applause)
