00:00:11.600 --> 00:00:17.799
- [Narrator] In late June 1946, a pig bearing the number 311

00:00:19.100 --> 00:00:24.199
was stationed on an old warship off Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands.

00:00:26.200 --> 00:00:29.099
He was one of a group of 6,000 test animals

00:00:29.900 --> 00:00:34.589
deployed on and around the Atoll to test the effects of nuclear radiation

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:35.899
on living organisms.

00:00:37.700 --> 00:00:39.299
Two bombs were exploded.

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.999
After the last, as soon as it became safe,

00:00:44.900 --> 00:00:48.599
search parties entered the target area to assess the damage.

00:00:50.300 --> 00:00:52.699
All the other animals were either dead or dying

00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:58.499
but a thorough examination revealed pick 311 miraculously unharmed.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.299
He lived for a long time and procreated in a completely normal manner.

00:01:04.300 --> 00:01:06.598
(choir music playing)

00:01:41.900 --> 00:01:44.499
- And in my opinion all time

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:50.499
has been bisected into pre-atomic and atomic eras.

00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.889
The lesson for humanity is that it must avoid the use

00:01:54.900 --> 00:01:58.489
of nuclear weapons in war, because to do so will be

00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:02.299
to unleash the supreme pollutant, radioactive fallout

00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:07.199
on soil for which we dependf for our livelihood.

00:02:07.900 --> 00:02:11.599
An attack, for example, upon our minuteman basis west

00:02:11.610 --> 00:02:15.299
of the Mississippi by the mighty Soviet SS9 warheads,

00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:19.499
if it word sufficient power to clobber these bases,

00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:30.189
Could rain down a minimum of 5,000 megatons, five billion tons

00:02:30.200 --> 00:02:34.499
of TNT equivalent of which fallout would constitute enough

00:02:35.100 --> 00:02:37.699
to coat four million square miles.

00:02:38.600 --> 00:02:40.899
We wouldn\'t call it the United States uniformly.

00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.699
It could be an overlapping pattern stretching depending upon winds,

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:51.499
from Missouri, Montana, South Dakota and North Dakota

00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.689
stretching over the Great Lakes stretching through the heartland

00:02:54.700 --> 00:02:57.199
of America and on up to the Northeast.

00:02:58.200 --> 00:03:01.299
- We only wanna eliminate all this eye sore here

00:03:01.600 --> 00:03:02.889
because we have rodents.

00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:06.699
Children set fire in these buildings, and we fear for our lives

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.499
because if one of these houses will go up the whole block would go up.

00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:12.799
We only want them to be torn down.

00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.699
That\'s all we ask so we could live right.

00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:16.979
Thank you, Elizabeth.

00:03:16.990 --> 00:03:18.199
You know Joe it\'s the truth, though.

00:03:18.200 --> 00:03:20.099
You know, what we got this condition here,

00:03:20.100 --> 00:03:21.399
(man speaking off mic)

00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:24.789
but look at it, look at it, old dilapidated. it deteriorating, right...

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:25.299
...Harry?

00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:25.619
What do you think?

00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.689
- Well, I think this these communities should get together

00:03:29.700 --> 00:03:31.799
and try to get all these homes knocked down.

00:03:32.300 --> 00:03:32.999
- Sure, look, hey, itt\'s Mabel.

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:33.999
Hi, Mae, how are you?

00:03:34.100 --> 00:03:34.599
How you doing?

00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:39.689
- Well yes, because I don\'t like the look out my front door

00:03:39.700 --> 00:03:42.799
and see those beautiful sites across the street there

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.599
and it looks like I live on Skid Row over here.

00:03:45.900 --> 00:03:48.499
And I feel like a cop over here.

00:03:48.500 --> 00:03:51.789
I chase teenagers away from over there that sit out there and smoke.

00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.789
They tell you to mind your own business and you don\'t own this property,

00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.789
who are you to chase me and yet you fight and everything else

00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.199
around here, just over these houses.

00:04:02.300 --> 00:04:03.899
- Well, we\'re getting something done now, you can count on it.

00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:05.399
That\'s the truth, we will.

00:04:05.700 --> 00:04:08.789
- At the moment, the planet is cooling off because we have put

00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:10.389
so much crud into the atmosphere.

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.789
The warming trend that the CO2 addition caused up from 1940

00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:14.999
has been overpowered.

00:04:15.500 --> 00:04:19.289
The turbidity of the atmosphere over the Central Pacific as increased 30%

00:04:19.300 --> 00:04:20.589
in the last decade.

00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.489
According to Reed Bryson, the meteorologist at the

00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:24.999
University of Wisconsin who is tracking this most closely,

00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:27.489
we are beginning to revert to a weather pattern in this country

00:04:27.500 --> 00:04:28.999
which we saw in the early 1800s.

00:04:29.100 --> 00:04:33.289
If we do that, our agricultural productivity will suffer a great deal

00:04:33.300 --> 00:04:36.399
because agriculture is tremendously dependent on the weather,

00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:39.189
- You know, the paint they used had lead in them.

00:04:39.200 --> 00:04:43.189
But they say now the paint, they have this lead-free paint, you know,

00:04:43.200 --> 00:04:44.089
get off the arm of the chair.

00:04:44.100 --> 00:04:48.289
They have the lead-free paint and I don\'t know,

00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:53.589
they came out here a couple of months ago and they burned the paint

00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:54.599
off the wood.

00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.589
And they were supposed to come back and fix, you know, re-paint it,

00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.399
scrape it I think and re-paint it, which they never did.

00:05:02.300 --> 00:05:07.889
And plus, right in my back bedroom, when it rains it just pours

00:05:07.900 --> 00:05:12.989
from the ceiling and it\'s a lot of things that yet still wrong

00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:14.899
with the house and I don\'t know.

00:05:18.700 --> 00:05:19.599
I can\'t say anymore.

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.899
I haven\'t got on, I didn\'t call the real estate.

00:05:21.900 --> 00:05:24.999
They get, sometime to get a little nasty with me and everything.

00:05:25.400 --> 00:05:29.789
And like my rent right now, it\'s like a month, you know, behind

00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.689
and I know they\'re ready to put me in constable and what not.

00:05:32.700 --> 00:05:35.599
But like I am trying to do the best I can, you know.

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:42.399
And I don\'t know, just like I hope probably one day I wouldn\'t

00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.099
have to worry about any of this here.

00:05:44.100 --> 00:05:49.389
I hope probably one day, Mr. Reed and I, you know, should get married,

00:05:49.400 --> 00:05:51.899
we won\'t have to worry about unfit places.

00:05:51.900 --> 00:05:53.489
Maybe he can get a decent job.

00:05:53.500 --> 00:05:57.989
I could work because I love doing hair and I wants to be a model.

00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.909
You might not believe it, but I would like to be a model

00:06:01.200 --> 00:06:05.999
and probably one day he\'ll be able to you know, get a trade

00:06:06.300 --> 00:06:10.589
and then I can open up a beauty parlor and then if part time I can model

00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.499
and maybe we can get everything together, you know.

00:06:14.200 --> 00:06:16.999
- Now all the people in the so-called underdeveloped countries

00:06:17.200 --> 00:06:18.699
have rising expectations.

00:06:18.700 --> 00:06:21.699
They know what we have, they would like to live the kind of life

00:06:21.700 --> 00:06:22.379
that we lead.

00:06:22.390 --> 00:06:23.799
They wanna be industrialized.

00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.389
The smallest bit of simple arithmetic will show you

00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:29.189
that although they have rising expectations, they also have

00:06:29.200 --> 00:06:30.399
plummeting prospects.

00:06:30.700 --> 00:06:32.789
Our standard of living will continue to decline.

00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:34.299
Their\'s will be decline faster.

00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:36.689
The gap between the rich nations and the poor nations

00:06:36.700 --> 00:06:40.299
will continue to grow as it has continually since the Second World War.

00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:41.799
- [Man] Okay, so we\'re talking about guns.

00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:43.099
- [Man] Is there any reason why, you\'re just looking at one point.

00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.399
(multiple people talking at the same time)

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:50.699
- But I don\'t live in the whole world, I live right here.

00:06:50.700 --> 00:06:52.499
I\'m trying to better myself.

00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:53.799
(multiple people speaking at the same time)

00:06:55.500 --> 00:06:56.999
You know what, look, I believe in brotherhood

00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:58.999
but there comes a time where you got to think of yourself.

00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:00.899
I mean that may sound selfish but.

00:07:00.900 --> 00:07:01.799
- [Man] You gotta think as a the whole.

00:07:02.200 --> 00:07:02.999
- All right, as a whole.

00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:04.799
Everybody\'s gotta come together.

00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.609
There\'s no certain age where it says you\'ve, well,

00:07:07.700 --> 00:07:10.399
now what he said, and what are you going to do?

00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:11.999
It\'s not you and it\'s not you, it\'s us.

00:07:13.300 --> 00:07:14.599
Not just because you\'re over a certain age

00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:16.999
or I\'m under a certain age, that don\'t make me better than you,

00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.499
that don\'t make you better than me.

00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:20.799
In other words don\'t say, what are you\'s gonna do?

00:07:21.300 --> 00:07:23.299
It\'s what are we all in general gonna do?

00:07:24.200 --> 00:07:25.599
Don\'t say you, me, I, it, this, that, bullshit.

00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:29.999
(two people talking at the same time)

00:07:30.010 --> 00:07:33.989
- Tied up in knots because they know that singly you can\'t

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.399
do anything anymore.

00:07:36.300 --> 00:07:39.399
I mean we\'re disinherited as far as our liberties go.

00:07:40.100 --> 00:07:44.399
Unless we form a mob and break windows, nobody will pay attention to us.

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.599
And breaking windows never really accomplishes anything.

00:07:48.200 --> 00:07:50.799
So we feel stimied in every possible direction.

00:07:52.100 --> 00:07:56.899
We can only do it through our antiquated legislatures.

00:08:07.100 --> 00:08:08.799
I think it\'s a worldwide dilemma already

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:16.389
about the DDT for instance that they even know enough now

00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:17.869
to know it\'s got to be banned.

00:08:17.880 --> 00:08:20.899
They give us a two-year leeway to be sure does its worst.

00:08:21.200 --> 00:08:24.599
But one of their dilemmas is at the Orient will think

00:08:25.500 --> 00:08:28.889
that we\'ve taken it away from them to be mean because we sold it

00:08:28.900 --> 00:08:31.799
to them as the way to get rid of insects and have better crops.

00:08:32.900 --> 00:08:35.889
So will never, they\'ll never believe us that we\'re taking it away

00:08:35.900 --> 00:08:38.699
because we discovered we made a god-awful mistake.

00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:42.399
Nobody believes the truth anymore.

00:08:42.400 --> 00:08:45.199
They just believe the propaganda.

00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:46.909
