[Honest Government Ad]"Hello, I'm from the government with an important message as we enter the third decade of the 21st century, things are going, err, fine. Overall.. The Amazon is fine, half of Africa is fine. So is the Arctic, Indonesia, Spain, Greece, even Greenland's on fucking fire, err, I mean fine.Scientists have coined a new term for this stage of climate change we're entering. “We’re fucked”. Unlike the previous stage, which climate scientists called listen to us or we might be fucked. We're fucked is happening. And in your lifetime..."[Giordano] There are so many things to talk about on this issue. Where does one even start? Well, I think my expertise can be most useful in discussing the bullshit that is levied against people who joined the global strike movement. I mean you must have noticed there is just so much bullshit. Where does it all come from, what do we make of it, and how do we respond to it?And I'm not talking about the bullshit regarding the science. Don't even get drawn into those debates because the only people that can debate the science are scientists and the vast majority of them agree on the science. I'm talking about general run of the mill bullshit, which generally consists of badly constructed arguments that rely on profound ignorance of our own history. So that's what I'm going to talk about in the second half of the podcast. But before we get to that, I want to hand over the mic to the people who have been leading the fight to raise awareness about the climate crisis and to ring the alarm more effectively than, than anyone has been able to, in this last decade, and that is school kids who have created the global movement. It's fucking amazing. They've made history, they're making history. As we saw yesterday with the global climate strike, there were millions of people on every continent on the street saying this is enough. Of course we joined the Melbourne strike. And, uh, it was just an incredible experience. And while we were there, we thought we would interview some of the kids who have been behind the organization of this amazing event. Of course, we posed as the Department of Genuine Satire from the Australien government. And, uh, these are some of their voices. All I can say is the kids are doing fine. [background chatter] So, these guys are from the Honest Government ads series. Just about, [Student] Oh, oh, I love this. Oh my God. Cameron. I've probably spent like years watching these videos. [music][Giordano] So we're here from the government. We just kind of doing a little bit of a survey to see what's going on with the youth. And, uh, our first question to you, Cameron, is, why aren't you at school? [Cameron] Fuck you. You're the reason I'm not at school, mate. [Honest Govt] How much money would you need to not believe in climate change? [Cameron] Um, I'd probably need a politician's wage to not believe in climate change. Maybe a liberal wage and maybe it'd be, it would be good. Yeah.[Honest Govt] That sounds really familiar to what we have though. We'll have to look into that. [Honest Govt] Fatima why aren't you at school? [Fatima] Well, because today we’re striking to ask for climate justice and we're asking for everyone all over the, all over the world to stand with us. Um, I'm not in school today because I've decided to come out and protest for my future. [Student] Um, I want better action on climate change. Um, why not, a free chance to take off. Nah Um, I'm fighting for my future. Um, yeah. Out of genuine concern for my future. [Honest Govt] Why are you concerned? I mean, we're taking care of it. We're doing a pretty good job are’nt we. Do you not
