It was very interesting! The 2ieme part is almost exclusively access to the environment!
Good interview of rifkin
The final scene took us ... 1000 billions of years into the future ... waaw!

Since the birth of the solar system 4,5 billion years ago, mutations of all kinds have followed one another, without ever stopping. However, we are only halfway through our history, the implosion of the sun being expected in 4 billion years. What will we look like by then? To an "augmented" or "infinitely repairable" man? What new changes can we expect? What problems does this pose in terms of law and ethics? How are we going to adapt to climate change and the fossil fuel crisis? What habitat, what food will be available to us? What agriculture and what economic model can we envisage? Will we be forced to live on other planets?
Traveling the world like a candid enthusiast, extracts from anticipatory films and supporting 3D animations, designer Philippe Starck dialogues with visionaries who evoke their world of tomorrow. In particular Kevin Warwick, the English "cyborg" researcher who experiments on himself with implants placed under his skin and connected to a computer; George Church, one of the first scientists to sequence the human genome, who dreams of a man "infinitely repairable"; the geopolitical expert François Gemenne with whom the designer evokes the Belgian architect Vincent Caillebaut who, to fight against the phenomena of overpopulation and climatic migrations, imagined self-sufficient floating cities which would move around the planet according to the needs of its inhabitants ; a restaurateur sure that insects will be the food of tomorrow; the American Jérémy Rifkin who advocates "the third industrial revolution" combining Internet communication and renewable energies; the astronaut Jean-François Clervoy who considers life outside the Earth, in the event of the impossibility of survival here below ...

If we still hold (on Earth) 10 000 years it seems not bad!

I'm extracting a single sentence from this documentary commentary, but the rest of that genre is still the same:
Let us first of all note the collective "we" which suggests that the interests of mankind are a whole, while environmental problems result precisely from the exact opposite situation.
Then, it appears, without the slightest hesitation that it is a question of "adapting" to climate change: no need to get upset trying to avoid it, or even to slow it down; no, the change is acted like a fatality! Who knows, maybe there is an opportunity to make a little / a lot of money?
Ditto for the crisis of fossil energies, no question on the merits of this bulimia mortifère: ah! if only there was still plenty of oil, the party would be crazier!

Documentary are all pretty classic with roughly three parts:
1) transhumanism.
2) "sustainable" development.
3) The Evolution of the Universe.
If the first two parts are quite repetitive (nothing new is developed), the third part (the interview of Thibault Damour is very rewarding and worth the trip!
