A few years ago, this all used to be covered with ice.
There's only water now.
It'll only get worse.
It's scary.
Climate change is real.
Scientists have agreed on that for years.
And I've seen it with my own eyes.
And it's much, much more serious than most people realize or want to acknowledge.
Yet no one is acting.
Not nearly enough is being done to hold it.
Not for technical reasons or economic reasons,
but for political reasons and social reasons.
As humans, we are ill-equipped to deal with long-term problems
that slowly grow worse over time.
We know we really have to,
but there is always something else to do right now.
A seemingly more pressing matter pops up
and we end up solving that instead.
Forgetting about what happens in the background is a thousand times worse.
Climate change is such a long-term problem.
And that is why we founded the Code Red Group as a wake-up call.
Our research and development department is developing a global warning system
in the form of these capsules.
This one here is one-tenth the size of the original,
which will be 32 feet long.
Exactly the size of a standard shipping container
that will hold 24 of these and every capsule is filled with a die.
And on the Antarctica, they'll be placed in holes created with an Android rig.
When the ice melts, the capsule will drop into the ocean
and will eventually dissolve.
By strategically placing the capsules on Antarctica's ice mass
and closely studying the circular ocean currents,
we can steer the capsules towards quite specific places on all continents.
Solar-powered GPS modules allow us to monitor their movements and conditions in real-time.
Once they're in proximity to shore,
they'll disintegrate, releasing natural-colored oils to wash ashore.
Beaches all over the world will be painted in bright colors of increasing intensity.
The first generation will release yellow dice, whereas the capsules placed further inland
will eventually turn blood red.
And you could say they're a thermometer or a symbol for climate change.
The effects on marine wildlife and its fragile ecosystems are hard to oversee.
We feel, however, the cause is justified.
The alternative is so, so much worse.
Plus, people only act when there is a direct threat.
Try and think of it as experiential disasters.
After placing the capsules in the ice, we will no longer have any control over them.
They'll be released automatically.
Nature will continue to do our work in the future, long after we are gone ourselves.
Let's hope, at least.
Thank you.
