The 11th hour" is mainly deal with the issue and concern of climate change due to our false behavior and attitude. World have civilize suddenly which end up use natural resources cruelly.
The man on the video state Catharina is just for beginning, he said we will face bigger and bigger problem in near future, he mention about the global warming and how most people have not recognize the result it will bring to them. Thom Hartmann said "Problem is not a technology, problem is not too much carbon dioxide, problem is not a wasting, the problem is way that we are thinking, the problem is fundamentally cultural problem. I am totally agreed with his statement, I believe few people who have recognize the real problem is the reason why we are still living in nice and clean environment. They have created alternative solar power, alternative vehicle, and alternative flight, not only that false behavior that we are unconsciously do in daily life such as not using public transformation, not care for the waste, etc. as the things that we are using in daily life. I believe if this false behavior and attitude is fixed, our environment will be preserved..
I have to agree with you if we change our mindset we will change our environment. Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy are the first big hurricanes of the ignorance of this politicians who think global warming is fake.
답글삭제I think that your claim that the problem is fundamentally one of attitude is spot on. We can invent all of the new technology that we want and nothing will change unless people begin to realize that their actions, no matter how small, are in aggregate massive impacts on the climate. This ties back to the adger et al reading on climate discourses. Climate change in this way is definitely falls into the category of a profligacy discourse. I went to Germany for the summer after I graduated highschool and one of the things I was most surprised about was how much solar power I saw everywhere. I did some research into it and discovered some shocking statistics. Germany absolutely blows America out of the water in Solar Energy production. The German capacity for solar energy production hit 36,000 MW in 2013. This is compared to the entire American production of 2,000 MW in 2014. For a better comparison the state of Arizona is just over 110,000 sqe miles. The entire country of Germany is just over 135,000 sqr miles. This means that Germany produces more solar power in an area just larger than the state of Arizona than the entire United States produces in one year. The potential to become independent of fossil fuels is clearly not held back by technology it is one that is purely attitudinal.
