Al Gore: Alarming new slides of the worsening climate crisis

Prevodilac: Ana Zivanovic-Nenadovic Lektor: Sandra Gojic

Last year I showed these two slides so that

Prošle godine sam prikazao ova dva slajda kako bih

demonstrate that the arctic ice cap,

pokazao da se arktički ledeni pokrivač,

which for most of the last three million years

koji je u poslednjih tri miliona godina uglavnom

has been the size of the lower 48 states,

bio veličine 48 država kontinentalne SAD,

has shrunk by 40 percent.

smanjio za 40%.

But this understates the seriousness of this particular problem

Ali ovo ne ukazuje u potpunosti na ozbiljnost ovog specifičnog problema

because it doesn't show the thickness of the ice.

jer ne pokazuje debljinu leda.

The arctic ice cap is, in a sense,

Arktički ledeni pokrivač je na neki nacin

the beating heart of the global climate system.

lupajuće srce globalnog klimatskog sistema.

It expands in winter and contracts in summer.

Zimi se širi, a leti smanjuje.

The next slide I show you will be

Na sledećem slajdu koji ću vam pokazati ćete videti

a rapid fast-forward of what's happened over the last 25 years.

ubrzano šta se desilo u poslednjih 25 godina.

The permanent ice is marked in red.

Trajni led je označen crvenom.

As you see, it expands to the dark blue --

Kao što vidite, širi se u tamno plavu.

that's the annual ice in winter,

To je godišnji led u toku zime.

and it contracts in summer.

I skuplja se tokom leta.

The so-called permanent ice, five years old or older,

Ovaj, takozvani trajni led, star 5 ili više godina je,

you can see is almost like blood,

i sami vidite, skoro kao krv,

spilling out of the body here.

koja curi iz ovog tela.

In 25 years it's gone from this, to this.

Za 25 godina je prešao iz ovoga u ovo.

This is a problem because the warming

Ovo predstavlja problem jer zagrevanje

heats up the frozen ground around the Arctic Ocean,

zagreva zaleđenu zemlju oko arktičkog okeana

where there is a massive amount of frozen carbon

gde se nalazi ogromna količina zaleđenog ugljenika

which, when it thaws, is turned into methane by microbes.

koji, kada se topi, mikrobi pretvaraju u metan.

Compared to the total amount of global warming pollution in the atmosphere,

U poređenju sa totalnom količinom zagašenja izazvanim globalnim zagrevanjem u atmosferi

that amount could double if we cross this tipping point.

ta količina bi mogla da se udvostruči ako pređemo tačku preokreta.

Already in some shallow lakes in Alaska,

U nekim plitkim jezerima na Aljasci, već

methane is actively bubbling up out of the water.

možemo videti kako metan u vidu mehura izlazi iz vode.

Professor Katey Walter from the University of Alaska

Profesor Kejti Volter sa Univerziteta u Aljasci

went out with another team to another shallow lake last winter.

je sa drugim timom otišla u jedno plitko jezero prošle zime.

Video: Whoa! (Laughter)

Video: Jao! (Smeh).

Al Gore: She's okay. The question is whether we will be.

Al Gor: ona je dobro. Pitanje je da li ćemo i mi biti.

And one reason is, this enormous heat sink

A jedan od razloga je taj što ova ogromna upijena toplota

heats up Greenland from the north.

zagreva Grenland sa severa.

This is an annual melting river.

Ovo je reka koja nastaje topljenjem leda svake godine.

But the volumes are much larger than ever.

Ali njena zapremina je veća nego ikada.

This is the Kangerlussuaq River in southwest Greenland.

Ovo je reka Kangerlusak u jugozapadnom Grenlandu.

If you want to know how sea level rises

Ako želite da znate kako se podiže nivo mora

from land-base ice melting

zbog topljenje leda na kopnu

this is where it reaches the sea.

ovo je tačka gde reka dolazi do mora.

These flows are increasing very rapidly.

Ovakve bujice veoma brzo rastu.

At the other end of the planet, Antarctica

Na drugom kraju planete, Antarktiku,

the largest mass of ice on the planet.

najvećoj masi leda na planeti.

Last month scientists reported the entire continent

Prošlog meseca naučnici su saopštili da ceo kontinent

is now in negative ice balance.

sada ima negativan bilans leda.

And west Antarctica cropped up on top some under-sea islands,

A zapadni Antarktik koji se nalazi na vrhu nekoliko podvodnih ostrva

is particularly rapid in its melting.

se posebno brzo topi.

That's equal to 20 feet of sea level, as is Greenland.

To odgovara 6 metara morske dubine, kao i Grenland.

In the Himalayas, the third largest mass of ice:

Na Himalajima, trećoj najvećoj masi leda na svetu,

at the top you see new lakes, which a few years ago were glaciers.

na vrhu se vide nova jezera, koja su pre nekoliko godina bila glečeri.

40 percent of all the people in the world

40% svih ljudi na svetu

get half of their drinking water from that melting flow.

dobija polovinu pijuće vode iz te otopljene bujice.

In the Andes, this glacier is the

U Andima, glečer je

source of drinking water for this city.

izvor pijaće vode za ovaj grad.

The flows have increased.

Bujice su se povećale.

But when they go away, so does much of the drinking water.

Ali kada prođu, sa njima nestane i većina pijaće vode.

In California there has been a 40 percent

U Kaliforniji se snežni pokrivač u Sijeri

decline in the Sierra snowpack.

smanjio za 40%.

This is hitting the reservoirs.

Ovo utiče i na rezervoare.

And the predictions, as you've read, are serious.

A predviđanja su, kao što ste pročitali, ozbiljna.

This drying around the world has lead to

Ovo isušivanje u svetu je dovelo do

a dramatic increase in fires.

dramatičnog povećanja požara.

And the disasters around the world

A prirodne nepogode širom sveta

have been increasing at an absolutely extraordinary

rastu apsolutno izuzetnom

and unprecedented rate.

i ranije neviđenom stopom.

Four times as many in the last 30 years

Bilo ih je četiri puta više u poslednjih 30 godina

as in the previous 75.

nego u poslednjih 75.

This is a completely unsustainable pattern.

Ovo je potpuno neodrživ model.

If you look at in the context of history

Ako na to gledate u kontekstu istorije

you can see what this is doing.

možete da vidite šta je posledica toga.

In the last five years

U poslednjih pet godina

we've added 70 million tons of CO2

dodali smo 70 miliona tona CO2

every 24 hours --

svakih 24 sata -

25 million tons every day to the oceans.

25 miliona tona dnevno u okeane.

Look carefully at the area of the eastern Pacific,

Pažljivo pogledajte površinu istočnog Pacifika,

from the Americas, extending westward,

od Amerike, idući ka zapadu,

and on either side of the Indian subcontinent,

i sa obe strane indijskog potkontinenta,

where there is a radical depletion of oxygen in the oceans.

gde je došlo do radikalnog iscrpljivanja kiseonika iz okeana.

The biggest single cause of global warming,

Jedan od najvećih individualnih uzroka globalnog zagrevanja,

along with deforestation, which is 20 percent of it, is the burning of fossil fuels.

zajedno sa krčenjem šuma, na koje odlazi 20%, je sagorevanje fosilnih goriva.

Oil is a problem, and coal is the most serious problem.

Nafta predstavlja problem, ali ugalj predstavlja najozbiljniji problem.

The United States is one of the two

SAD su jedan od dva

largest emitters, along with China.

najveća zagađivača, zajedno sa Kinom.

And the proposal has been to build a lot more coal plants.

A postoji i plan da se izgradi jos više termoelektrana na bazi uglja.

But we're beginning to see a sea change.

Ali počinjemo da uviđamo promenu.

Here are the ones that have been cancelled in the last few years

Evo nekih projekata koji su otkazani u poslednjih nekoliko godina

with some green alternatives proposed.

sa nekim od predloženih ekoloških alternativa.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

However there is a political battle

Međutim, postoji i politička bitka

in our country.

u našoj zemlji.

And the coal industries and the oil industries

A industrije uglja i nafte

spent a quarter of a billion dollars in the last calendar year

su potrošile ¼ milijarde dolara u protekloj kalendarskoj godini

promoting clean coal,

na promociju "čistog" (ekološkog) uglja

which is an oxymoron.

što je oksimoron.

That image reminded me of something.

Ta slika me je podsetila na nešto.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Around Christmas, in my home in Tennessee,

Oko Božića, kod moje kuće u Tenesiju,

a billion gallons of coal sludge was spilled.

prosuto je oko 3.8 milijarde litara ugljanog mulja.

You probably saw it on the news.

Verovatno ste videli na vestima.

This, all over the country, is the second largest waste stream in America.

Ovo, širom cele zemlje, je drugi po redu najveći izvor đubrišta u Americi.

This happened around Christmas.

To se desilo oko Božića.

One of the coal industry's ads around Christmas was this one.

Ovo je bila jedna od reklama industrije uglja oko Božića:

Video: ♪♫ Frosty the coal man is a jolly, happy soul.

Video: ♪♫ Ledenko, ugljeni čovek je vesela i srećna duša.

He's abundant here in America,

Ima ga u izobilju ovde u Americi,

and he helps our economy grow.

i on pomaže našoj ekonomiji da raste.

Frosty the coal man is getting cleaner everyday.

Ledenko, ugljeni čovek je svakog dana sve čistiji.

He's affordable and adorable, and workers keep their pay.

On je jeftin i divan, a radnici imaju svoju platu.

Al Gore: This is the source of much of the coal in West Virginia.

Al Gor: ovo je izvor većine uglja u Zapadnoj Virdžiniji.

The largest mountaintop miner is the head of Massey Coal.

Najveći planinski rudnik površinskog kopa je Masi Koal.

Video: Don Blankenship: Let me be clear about it. Al Gore,

Video: Don Blankenšip: dozvolite da budem jasan. Al Gor,

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, they don't know what they're talking about.

Nensi Pelozi, Heri Rid, oni nemaju pojma o čemu pričaju.

Al Gore: So the Alliance for Climate Protection

Al Gor: dakle, Savez za zaštitu klime

has launched two campaigns.

je lansirao dve kampanje.

This is one of them, part of one of them.

Ovo je jedna od njih, deo jedne od njih.

Video: Actor: At COALergy we view climate change as a very serious

Video: glumac: U UGLJO-energiji gledamo na klimatske promene kao na veoma ozbiljnu

threat to our business.

pretnju našem poslovanju.

That's why we've made it our primary goal

Zato je naš osnovni cilj

to spend a large sum of money

da potrošimo veliku sumu novca

on an advertising effort to help bring out and complicate

na promotivan trud kako bismo doprineli isticanju i komplikovanju

the truth about coal.

istine o uglju.

The fact is, coal isn't dirty.

Činjenica je da ugalj nije prljav.

We think it's clean --

Mi mislimo da je čist -

smells good, too.

i lepo miriše.

So don't worry about climate change.

Tako da nemojte da brinete o klimatskoj promeni.

Leave that up to us.

Prepustite to nama.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Video: Actor: Clean coal -- you've heard a lot about it.

Video: glumac: čist ugalj, dosta ste čuli o tome.

So let's take a tour of this state-of-the-art clean coal facility.

Zato hajde da obiđemo ovaj vrhunski objekat čistog uglja.

Amazing! The machinery is kind of loud.

Neverovatno! Mašinerija je prilično glasna.

But that's the sound of clean coal technology.

Ali to je zvuk tehnologije čistog uglja.

And while burning coal is one of the leading causes of global warming,

I dok je sagorevanje uglja jedan od vodećih uzroka globalnog zagrevanja,

the remarkable clean coal technology you see here

izvanredna tehnologija čistog uglja koju ovde vidite

changes everything.

menja sve.

Take a good long look: this is today's clean coal technology.

Dobro pogledajte, ovo je današnja tehnologija čistog uglja.

Al Gore: Finally, the positive alternative

Al Gor: konačno, pozitivna opcija

meshes with our economic challenge

se prepliće sa našim ekonomskim izazovom

and our national security challenge.

i izazovom naše državne bezbednosti.

Video: Narrator: America is in crisis -- the economy,

Video: narator: Amerika je u krizi, ekonomija,

national security, the climate crisis.

državna bezbednost, klimatska kriza.

The thread that links them all:

Nit koja sve njih povezuje

our addiction to carbon based fuels,

je naša zavisnost od goriva baziranih na ugljeniku,

like dirty coal and foreign oil.

kao što su prljavi ugalj i nafta uvezena iz inostranstva.

But now there is a bold new solution to get us out of this mess.

Ali postoji smelo, novo rešenje koje će nas izvaditi iz ovog nereda.

Repower America with 100 percent clean electricity

Osnažimo Ameriku sa 100% čistom strujom,

within 10 years.

za 10 godina.

A plan to put America back to work,

Plan koji će ponovo zaposliti Ameriku,

make us more secure, and help stop global warming.

učiniti nas sigurnijima i pomoći da se zaustavi globalno zagrevanje.

Finally, a solution that's big enough to solve our problems.

Konačno, rešenje koje je dovoljno veliko da reši naše probleme.

Repower America. Find out more.

Osnažimo Ameriku. Saznajte više.

Al Gore: This is the last one.

Al Gor: ovo je poslednji.

Video: Narrator: It's about repowering America.

Video: narator: radi se o osnaživanju Amerike.

One of the fastest ways to cut our dependence

Jedan od najbržih načina da smanjimo našu zavisnost

on old dirty fuels that are killing our planet.

na stara, prljava goriva koja ubijaju našu planetu.

Man: Future's over here. Wind, sun, a new energy grid.

Čovek: budućnost je ovde. Vetar, sunce, nova energetska mreža.

Man #2: New investments to create high-paying jobs.

Čovek #2: nove investicije za stvaranje visoko plaćenih poslova.

Narrator: Repower America. It's time to get real.

Narator: osnažimo Ameriku. Vreme je da se uozbiljimo.

Al Gore: There is an old African proverb that says,

Al Gor: postoji stara afrička poslovica koja kaže:

"If you want to go quickly, go alone.

"Ako hoćete da idete brzo, idite sami.

If you want to go far, go together."

Ako hoćete da stignete daleko, idite zajedno."

We need to go far, quickly.

Mi moramo da idemo daleko, veoma brzo.

Thank you very much.

Hvala vam puno.
