Excerpt: Every year, 11 million metric tons of plastics enter our ocean. Nearly all of these plastics are made from fossil fuels, including crude oil, natural gas liquids, and coal ... so, the plastics that escape to our ocean are like a slow-motion oil spill that is happening every day all around the world. This spill is a pervasive threat to ocean life and coastal communities. (Ocean Conservancy, September 24, 2021) We must confront skyrocketing plastic production, or climate change and plastic pollution will both get worse. (Ocean Conservancy, September 24, 2021)

Excerpt: There is a surge of investment in new plastic production right now. As the fossil fuel industry sees its future shrink in energy and transportation fuels, it is banking on growth in plastics to make up the difference. If that growth occurs, we will continue to rely on and invest in fossil fuel infrastructure at a time when we need a rapid transition to a clean energy economy to ensure a livable planet and healthy ocean. The most direct way to reduce CO2 emissions, keep plastic out of the ocean, and ensure healthy, livable communities is to prevent this massive new wave of fossil-fueled plastic production and use.

Excerpt: The oceans are home to small algae — called phytoplankton — that perform photosynthesis, just like land plants. This process converts carbon dioxide into oxygen, removing carbon from our atmosphere and reducing the effects of global warming.

Some of the carbon used by Phytoplankton sinks to the bottom of the ocean in the form of organic material (such as the bodies of algae themselves). This process of “carbon export” effectively cools the earth by removing carbon from the atmosphere and storing it deep sea, where it can remain for a long time. 

“... phytoplankton and zooplankton. These tiny organisms perform a critically important service for the climate: like trees, they uptake carbon, helping the ocean absorb one-third of our greenhouse gas emissions.”

Narrative: Small algae and their ocean habitat produce values that have a significant impact on the ecosystem.

Excerpt: Corals are like speed bumps. They slow down waves and lessen wave energy, protecting coastlines from hurricanes, cyclones, and tsunamis. Coral reefs protect the shorelines in 81 countries around the world, sheltering the 200 million people living along those coasts.

Corals are like nurseries. They provide hiding homes and hiding places for marine animals, large and small. An estimated 25% of all fish species call reefs home, and even more fish species spend part of their young lives there.
Losing reefs to ocean warming or acidification costs animals their home.

Corals are like history books. Coral’s hard calcium carbonate skeletons contain bands, like tree rings, that record environmental changes in temperature, water chemistry, and sediment. These records help scientists reconstruct what past ages were like before humans kept records.

Excerpt: “My name is Greta Thunberg, I am 15 years old and I’m from Sweden. I speak on behalf of Climate Justice Now. Many people say that Sweden is just a small country and it doesn’t matter what we do. But I’ve learnt that no one is too small to make a difference. And if a few children can get headlines all over the world just by not going to school – then imagine what we all could do together if we really wanted to. But to do that we have to speak clearly. No matter how uncomfortable that may be. You only speak of green eternal economic growth because you are too scared of being unpopular. You only talk about moving forward with the same bad ideas that got us in to this mess. Even when the only sensible thing to do is to pull the emergency break. You are not mature enough to tell it like it is. Even that burden you leave to your children. But I don’t care about being popular, I care about climate justice and the living planet. Our civilisation is being sacrificed for the opportunity of a very small number of people to continue to make enormous amounts of money. Our biosphere is being sacrificed so that rich people in countries like mine can live in luxury. It is the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few. The year 2078 I will celebrate my 75th birthday. If I have children then maybe they will spend that day with me. Maybe they will ask about you. Maybe they will ask why you didn’t do anything, while there still was time to act? You say you love your children above all else. And yet you are stealing their future. Until you start focusing on what needs to be done rather than what is politically possible there’s no hope. We can not solve a crisis with out treating it as a crisis. We need to keep the fossil fuels in the ground and we need to focus on equity. And if solutions within this system are so impossible to find than maybe we should change the system itself?  We have not come here to beg world leaders to care. You have ignored us in the past and you will ignore us again. You’ve run out of excuses and we’re running out of time. We’ve come here to let you know that change is coming whether you like it or not. The real power belongs to the people.”

Excerpt: My message is that we'll be watching you. This is all wrong.I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet, you all come to us, young people, for hope? How dare you! You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet, I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction. And all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you! For more than 30 years, the science has been crystal clear. How dare you continue to look away and come here saying that you're doing enough when the politics and solutions needed are still nowhere in sight! You say you hear us and that you understand the urgency. But no matter how sad and angry I am, I do not want to believe that because if you really understood the situation and still kept on failing to act, then you would be evil and that I refuse to believe. The popular idea of cutting our emissions in half in 10 years only gives us a 50% chance of staying below 1.5 degrees and the risk of setting up irreversible chain reactions beyond human control. 50% may be acceptable to you, but those numbers do not include tipping points, most feedback loops, additional warming hidden by toxic air pollution, or the aspects of equity and climate justice. They also rely on my generation, sucking hundreds of billions of tons of your CO2 out of the air with technologies that barely exist. So, a 50% risk is simply not acceptable to us— we who have to live with the consequences. To have a 67% chance of staying below a 1.5 degrees of global temperature rise —the best odds given by the IPCC — the world had 420 gigatons of CO2 left to emit back on January 1st, 2018. Today that figure is already down to less than 350 gigatons. How dare you pretend that this can be solved with just business as usual and some technical solutions. With today's emissions levels, that remaining CO2 budget will be entirely gone within less than eight and a half years. There will not be any solutions or plans presented in line with these figures here today because these numbers are too uncomfortable and you are still not mature enough to tell it like it is. You are failing us. But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us, I say, we will never forgive you.
