all that in museums,

what extra insight did you get by diving?

The combination of industrialization
and deforestation
01:24:29.022 --> 01:24:32.817 line:95%,end
have increased the carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere,
01:24:33.651 --> 01:24:37.155 line:95%,end
triggering a dangerous warming up

The Antarctic, this mass of ice,
90% of the ice of the world,
01:24:44.120 --> 01:24:46.331 line:95%,end
governs the climate
even in the United States
01:24:46.414 --> 01:24:47.874 line:95%,end
or Europe in the northern hemisphere.
01:24:48.625 --> 01:24:52.754 line:5%,start
If we touch Antarctica with industry,
01:24:52.837 --> 01:24:54.964 line:5%,start
with explosions and et cetera,
01:24:55.173 --> 01:24:56.883 line:95%,end
we don't know what can happen.
01:24:57.050 --> 01:25:00.053 line:95%,end
And we may bring
about famines in Africa,
01:25:00.136 --> 01:25:03.181 line:95%,end
and even droughts in the United States.
01:25:03.681 --> 01:25:06.851 line:95%,end
Because we now understand
that our globe
01:25:06.935 --> 01:25:11.898 line:95%,end
is just one single thermodynamic machine,
that it works simply
01:25:11.981 --> 01:25:15.568 line:95%,end
with a heat source from the sun,
and a cold source from Antarctica.
01:25:15.652 --> 01:25:17.237 line:95%,end

COUSTEAU: I decided to start a petition,
01:25:37.298 --> 01:25:40.885 line:95%,end
to put pressure on the industry leaders
and the politicians.
01:25:44.556 --> 01:25:47.433 line:95%,end
Because they will not do it
by their own incentive.
01:25:48.184 --> 01:25:49.853 line:95%,end
It has to be under pressure.

Now recently, I even had an opportunity
to tell our story
01:25:57.569 --> 01:25:59.988 line:95%,end
to the President of the United States,
01:26:00.071 --> 01:26:02.991 line:95%,end

to what we said.

a change of policy towards Antarctica,

01:26:12.333 --> 01:26:15.753 line:95%,end

Distinguished ladies and gentleman,
01:26:42.197 --> 01:26:44.782 line:95%,end
it is my privilege to talk to you
01:26:45.116 --> 01:26:48.578 line:95%,end

summit meeting ever has finally begun.

The Earth Summit as it's called.

Representatives of 170 nations
have a very tall order,
01:27:03.218 --> 01:27:06.179 line:95%,end
how to prevent making the Earth
an unlivable place.

IAN: Among the thousands who
are taking part in the Earth Summit,
01:27:09.807 --> 01:27:12.435 line:95%,end
one man can claim
to have molded public opinion
01:27:12.685 --> 01:27:14.479 line:95%,end
even before this conference began.
01:27:15.647 --> 01:27:18.149 line:95%,end
Jacques Cousteau's enthusiasm,
his scholarship,

and his reach toward ordinary people
01:27:20.276 --> 01:27:22.904 line:95%,end
have motivated pressure groups
and governments alike.
01:27:23.446 --> 01:27:26.115 line:95%,end
At the age of 80,
he can take no little credit
01:27:26.199 --> 01:27:28.076 line:95%,end
for bringing the Earth Summit into being.

about the outcome of this conference,

to the world's environment.
01:27:41.547 --> 01:27:43.841 line:95%,end
Non-renewable resources are depleted.

Biodiversity shrinks to alarming levels.

Energy is in unreasonable demand.
01:27:53.851 --> 01:27:57.397 line:95%,end
And above all,
the melting of glaciers and of ice caps,
01:27:57.480 --> 01:27:59.983 line:95%,end
and catastrophic rise
of the ocean levels,
01:28:00.066 --> 01:28:00.942 line:95%,end

all the people of the world,
01:28:05.822 --> 01:28:07.907 line:95%,end
the beginning of everything is in Rio.

the immense majority of the leaders,

they have promised beautiful things.
All of them.

are going to handle
this resource of ours?

very often and I ask myself this question.

When I reason, I put things together,

I am optimistic because I have
a great faith in human beings

people are going to revolt
