Alan: Energy is the ability of a physical system to provide work and to bring about change. Pearl: The energy is invisible. It is impossible to touch or hold in the hand, but it is everywhere such as the creative energy of images, the electric energy, the lightning energy, the energy of the movement, the radio energy and the solar energy. Help me produce this Documentary on Energy and the Global Environment – Accord Paris Ambitious (APA). Participate and thank you in advance. Pearl R. R.

Alan: Energy is not created, is not lost, it is constantly changing. There are nine forma of energy such as: 1. Chemical energy: comes from the reaction of atoms and molecules. 2. Kinetic energy: comes from moving objects. 3. Electric energy: comes from electrons in motion. 4. Electromagnetic energy: is the energy associated in the form of various varieties of rays or waves, including radio waves, microwaves, heat, light, X-rays and Gamma rays. 5. Magnetic energy: is due to magnetic attraction. 6. Nuclear energy: comes from the fusion of atoms or the split. 7. Potential energy: is due to the position of an object. 8. Stellar energy: A series of nuclear fusion reactions transform hydrogen into helium by releasing a huge amount of energy into the star’s core. 9. Sound energy: comes from the vibration of objects.

3


Pearl: Energy in the world comes from three sources such as coal, natural gas and oil, called fossil fuels because they consist of decomposed, semi-fossilized remains of organizations several years ago. The energy is such that: 1. The creative energy of image: a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanner makes it possible to create images by pulse. 2. Electrical energy: is obtained by the fusion of ions and electrons. 3. Lightning energy: consists in transforming potential energy into kinetic energy. 4. The energy of movement: is obtained by movement of objects. 5. Radio energy: is obtained electromagnetic waves. 6. Solar energy: is obtained from the light and heat of the sun traveling through space.

ENERGY - IMAGE - OUTSIDE.DAY Alan: Another common source of energy is the biomass of materials and products that have been living for a short time, such as wood or animal feces. Fossil fuels are consumed faster before they are formed. As a result, the reserves will not last beyond 100 years or more than 200 years. Pearl: Energy can turn into matters (Atoms) and matters into energy. Pearl: Matter is transformed into energy by a process called nuclear fission. Substances, such as some forms of uranium, have large unstable nuclei. When they are bombarded with atomic particles such as neutrons, these nuclei crack, releasing a flow of energy and other neutrons that sustain the process.

58


ARGUMENT PRESUMPTION - OUTSIDE Alan: What major argument of the presumption is admitted? Pearl: The main argument of the Presumption admits that greenhouse gases have increased the sea level (which can be considered the best integrator of global trends) to a small reaction, certainly but in direct correlation with this event. Despite the reservations made, we will not eliminate thermal graphs of the atmosphere.

59


ATMOSPHERE - THERMAL GRAPHICS OUTSIDE.NIGHT Alan: What is it adopted in view of paleoclimatology? Pearl: Given the lessons of paleoclimatology, reasoning by analogy is therefore adopted.

Alan: What can be deduced from the importance of the Statement? Pearl: The important Statement that should not encourage relaxation in terms of gas control and deforestation, but on the contrary, the maintenance of vigilance. Alan: What are the conclusions to the problems of the global environment? Pearl: The interventions respond to a wide range of niches that must be placed in the global environment. For this, the climate provides a common thread, and more precisely its contemporary variability where atmospheric physicists and geographers meet.

64


PLANETARY ENVIRONMENT PROBLEMS - OUTSIDE.DAY

-

Alan: How is it approached the global environment? Pearl: The Global environment is discussed here in terms of Global Change. It contains the anthropogenic greenhouse effect, with these uncertainties (the reality of the phenomenon; the modalities; the magnitude). Alan: What is the collaboration of geographers and physicists about? Pearl: In this regard, the collaboration of geographers and physicists allows a relevant consideration of the atmosphere and its interface, at various spatio-temporal scales. Alan: What does it suggest the behavior of the sea level? Pearl: Current sea level behavior suggests a presumption of warming.

65


Alan: What does it confirm the trend? Pearl: If the trend is confirmed, it may remain relatively small and widely diversified in its effects. Alan: What are the keywords? Pearl: The keywords are the physics of the atmosphere, the geography of climates, the greenhouse effect, the climate system, modeling and observation. Physics of the atmosphere: is the application of physics to study the atmosphere of the Earth and other planets. 66


The Geography of Climates: the climates of the temperate zone, halfway between the poles and the equator, regions with temperate climate cover more than half of the Earth’s surface. The interior of the land is subject to the continental climate: winters are cold, summers are hot and stormy. The Greenhouse Effect: is a natural process resulting from the influence of the atmosphere on the different thermal flows contributing to the ground temperatures of a planet. The Climate System: is the set of interactions between the atmosphere, the ocean, the cryosphere, the lithosphere and the Earth’s biosphere, which under the influence of solar radiation determines the climate of the planet. Modeling: Climate Change scenarios of global models, one of the main reasons for the rapid development of climate models (GCMs and RCMs) is to determine the effect of increasing GHGs on climate change, climate change during the 21st century. Observation: is an experiment of selection and collection of information on a phenomenon, an object of study, with a view to deriving hypotheses or verifying those resulting from previous observations.

Pearl: Uncertainties dominate. Alan: What are the uncertainties about the functioning of the global climate system? Pearl: They result, in the optics of the warming, oceanatmosphere relations and the terrestrial-atmosphere relations. Alan: How are they treated the elements of uncertainty? Pearl: The elements of uncertainty will be decomposed by means of environments, which will make it possible to fix the framework in which are located the major planetary correlations (variation of the climates, the temperatures and the marine levels).

69


OBSERVATORY - INTERVENTION Alan: What are the interventions to balance? Pearl: There is a certain balance between those who think about ÂŤ the climate system Âť and those are more directly involved in observing the substratum (continental and oceanic). This calls the grouping of physicists of the atmosphere on the one hand, geographers on the other.

This is the story of energy and the planetary environment. The New Planetary highlights an exceptional, intelligent and scientific woman at the global level. The sequence starts with the big international bets of the planet. In 1992, the UN Earth Conference was held in Rio, followed by debates at the economic, political, social and scientific levels of the world in order to link development and environment. What is the way to combine ecological interdependencies and sovereignty at the national level? Having access to energy is the key to economic development and constitutes the pillar of state power. Where is France’s place in the field of energy and the global environment on the international scene? The nuclear sector, developed by France, makes it possible to supply 80% (equivalent to 40% of its total consumption). As the energy supplied by nuclear power is only 6% of world consumption, France’s position is exceptional and stable. Because of the importance of dangers, nuclear energy is abandoned by many European countries as it emits no greenhouse gas or no solution has been provided for any problem. 85 % of global energy uses comes from fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas), and is economical, easy to use and conserve. Its disadvantages relate to its possible exhaustion, to its major effects in the face of ecology.

La caméra balaie la ville de Paris, et plan rapproché sur la rue d’Ulm - 75005 Paris. The camera goes back to the open air and close-up on the seat of the Marie Curie Institute - 26 street of Ulm. The team films Alan and Pearl at the Marie Curie Institute in Paris highlighting research. Pearl: In 1911, Marie Curie won a second Nobel, alone, in chemistry, for her discovery of polonium and radium, two new radioactive elements. Alan: What could she prove? Pearl: Marie Curie learned that uranium produced strange rays. Alan: What tests did she try? Pearl: Marie Curie began to test many substances to see if they also produced this type of rays. Alan: What are its effects? Pearl: Her term « radioactivity » refers to the energy released by these materials. The camera leaves Alan and Pearl, describes a circle that brings us back to the seat of ESA. Alan: White face on his face. (He smiles). He goes to the ESA headquarters, accompanied by Pearl while talking. 76


The camera is part of traditional media meeting press breakfast with the ESA Director General. Fade to white, the camera sweeps the press conference which starts at 9 (am) in the morning by the presentation of the Director General, followed by an interview. The Director General: Faded white on his face, he took stock of the work done by ESA and future prospects; faded out on the presentation of the small geostationary satellites and the list of official dates for future launches. How is the implementation of the development and preservation of natural environments carried out? The different types of sustainable energy (renewable and safe) are unlimited and not exploited in the energy world. Hydropower, a source of energy used in the world, produced from the flow of water is the most suitable for nature. Biomass (wood, plants, etc.) must be framed by ecological projects (renewal of CO2 resources, land use and food security). Biomass, of natural origin, remains the essential source of energy, easy to use to civilization cut off from the evolved world. Wind energy (technologically mature and economically profitable), a new source of energy produced by the force of the wind, has become an ecological solution.

77


The discovery of wind energy and solar energy is turning the world’s energy field upside down. Solar energy, captured in a technological way (the Sun sends energy to Earth 10. 000 times greater than the current needs of humanity) becomes a source of natural energy contributing to the need of man. Finally, other technologies exist, such as geothermal energy or, at the experiment stage, the energies of the sea (tides, currents, waves, swell). There are solutions for sustainable energy storage and discontinuous production pose a problem in a stable manner. Their rapid development is in contrast with the lack of activity both in terms of the production system and the profitability of suppliers. It is conceivable to design gas-fired power plants similar to coal rather than sustainable energies whose installation is difficult (solar panels or wind turbines). States are expected to agree on the establishment and fixing of economic provisions, knowing that the passage is not short. The strong is to arrive at setting up its development without harming nature in an intense way. The camera leaves the ESA site, describes a circle that brings us back to the CNES (National Center for Space Studies) site. The head office of CNES located in Paris allows its services to define the main strategic directions of the company and the priority programs. 78


The camera sweeps the city of Paris and close-up on the Place Maurice Quentin. The camera goes up in the open air and close-up on the headquarters of the National Center for Space Studies « CNES ». CNES represents France at ESA and is successfully reframing its activities on an ambitious national program that is much more application oriented. CNES is responsible for a large number of space projects. CNES works in collaboration with Arianespace (Evry) and European Space Agency (ESA), in five areas of activity: 1. Access to space (investments in launchers). 2. Earth, environment and climate (science and innovation for sustainable development). 3. Consumer Applications (telecoms and navigation). 4. Science and innovation (for astronomy and fundamental physics). 5. Security and Defense. The camera of the New Planetary Civilization will seize the films on the milestones in astronautics of the year 2018 etc. The National Center for Space Studies « CNES » is still in 2018, the National Space Agency the largest of the European Union countries. CNES is a public industrial and commercial « EPIC » institution charged with developing, proposing and implementing the French space program to the French government. 79


Budget: France is the second country in the world (after the United States) in terms of investment in space. CNES has a budget of 2.438 billion Euros in 2018, which remains the largest in Europe (38 to 39 Euros per capita in 2018). It includes the portion donated to the European Space Agency, of which CNES is the largest contributor (965 million Euros in 2018), which is devoted essentially to scientific missions (Astronomy, Exploration of the Solar System, Earth Study) and investments in launchers. CNES, for historical reasons, is the European Space Agency most involved in the development of European launchers. CNES supports part of the Kourou launch base management and the investments needed to accommodate the new launchers. CNES does not manage the budget paid to the European organization EUMETSAT, the head of the meteorological system. CNES is also involved in the development of the Ariane 5ME, which would replace Ariane 5EGA in 2018 and has more capacity and more flexibility thanks to the Vinci cryogenic engine. CNES is participating in the debate on the future European launcher by exploring several topics: avionics, evolution of solid propulsion, kerosene / oxygen propulsion.

Exploration of Solar system:  Picard, launched in 2010, is a micro-satellite that studies the Sun.  Participated in NASA Science Laboratory Martian Mission via ChemCam and SAM embedded instruments.  Participation in the joint ESA / Japan BepiColombo mission to Mercury.  Participation in ESA Rosetta Project.  Satellite Taranis study of energy phenomena associated with thunderstorms. Alan: What is the BepiColombo mission that will explore Mercury in 2018? Pearl: Being a planet similar to the Earth where the rock mass is not really the same, Mercury is a planet to discover fund. The planned launch in October 2018 of BepiColombo, a European program with Ariane5; there are 2 ESA MPO probes planned for this launch. CNES has done the internal study of a national program of Earth observation satellites. CNES’s project is the SPOT satellite, which is being studied at the Toulouse Space Center. The SPOT satellite has become a CNES flagship program. Five satellites have already been launched and the service has been operational since 1986. Helios military satellites are derived from the latest generation of SPOTS. 81


In Toulouse, it is planned to send planes to detect greenhouse gases in this month of May 2018. The flight campaign planned by the « Magic » scientific mission to measure the distribution of greenhouse gases on the atmosphere has just been completed. The initiative to fight against global warming is now topical. During the last two weeks, the Falcon 20 SAFIRE (French Instrumented Aircraft Service for Research in the Environment), took on board researchers CNES. Their mission is to detect in the atmosphere the rate of the constitution of the two main greenhouse gases (methane and carbon dioxide), responsible for climate change.

CNES has launched cooperative program and experiments on satellites from ESA, NASA and the USSR. The two outstanding projects are Argos and TOPEXPoseidon. A very active program of sounding rockets and stratospheric and tropospheric balloons is being pursued. It allows scientific laboratories to continue their research and maintain competent teams. CNES announced « Space in the service of the Earth » when around 1990 the focus was on climate problems and pollution. This theme has changed little since in 2008, CNES proposes « Space for the Earth ». 82


Sustainable development: Earth, environment and climate. CNES participates in numerous Earth observation missions by providing instruments for the scientific exploration of results. CNES is heavily involved in several missions of ESA’s « Living Planet » program. CNES also carries out heavy cooperation missions in the oceanographic field with NASA. CNES is developing microsatellites in cooperation with avec Indian and China. Several mission projects are in different stages of approval. The missions in which CNES participates are as follow: 1. Participation in the ESA GOCE mission dedicated to geodesy, launched in 2009 and extended until the end of 2012. 2. Exploitation of data provided by the FrancoAmerican oceanographic satellites Jason, whose Jason-3 copy was launched in 2015. 3. Participation in the ESA SWARM mission for the detailed study of the Earth’s magnetic field, launched in 2012. 4. Participation in ESA SMOS satellite operation, measurement of ocean salinity and soil moisture. This satellite was launched in 2009 and is extended until in 2017. 83


5. Exploitation of the French-Indian Megha-Tropiques satellite for studying the water cycle in the tropics. The satellite was launched in 2011. Projects under development are: 1. The French-Indian SARAL mission embarking for the first time in an altimetry mission using Ka-Band radar. The satellite was launched in 2013. 2. The Franco-Chinese CFOSAT mission to measure the distribution of ocean waves. The planned launch date is 2018. Mission projects are: 1. The Merlin mission studied with the German Space Agency consists in measuring the methane content. 2. The MicroCarb satellite that would be responsible for measuring carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere. 3. SWOT: Franco-American altimetry mission project that extends the data provided by oceanographic altimetry (Jason mission) to continental waters. 4. Biomass: biomass measurement project for a future mission of the ESA Living Planet program. 5. MeTop: at the instrumentation level, CNES is studying a successor to the IASI infrared sounder developed for the European meteorological satellite MeTop.

Expenditures under the 2014 National and Multilateral Program (Investment, Personnel and Operations) break down as follows: 1. Launchers (access to space): 328 million Euros. 2. Defense security: 316 million Euros. 3. Space sciences and preparation for the future: 181 million Euros. 4. Earth, environment and climate: 116 million Euros. 5. Consumer Application: 41 million Euros. 6. Shared resources: 142 million Euros. 7. Central departments: 53 million Euros. The balance (48 million Euros) correspond the VAT and the payroll tax. CNES does not manage the budget paid to the European organization EUMETSAT responsible for the space weather system; the corresponding 2014 budget (43 million Euros) and donated by Meteo-France to the European Organization.

Scientific applications (sciences and innovations) CNES’s scientific and technological projects focus on astronomy, the study of the solar system, fundamental physics and the development of new techniques.

85


This Franco-European mission (participation of CNES 70%) is dedicated to the analysis of seismic movements of stars and the search for exoplanets. Launched in 2006, the mission has been extended until 2013 (in astronomy). Astronomy:  Realization and implementation of the Corot space telescope.  Participation in the ESA Herschel infrared space observatory launched in 2009.  Participation in the submillimetry space observatory of ESA Planck launched in 2009.  SVOM is a French-Chinese project studying the X-ray.

CNES has a public service mission in addition to its role in preparing and implementing France’s space policy in Europe. The camera leaves Alan and Pearl, describes a circle that takes us back to the Kourou launching center. In Guiana, the camera sweeps the future launch area of Ariane 6 zone « ELA-4 » (launching set 4), the elongated building frame and 28.5meter-deep basin. Wide shot, not far from the sea, at the edge of the mythical « route of space » which runs through the space center along the entire length and close-up of the last astronautically installations before the village of Sinnamary, with the firing point of the Russian rocket Soyouz. 86


Wide shot over the launch area of the small Vega rocket, the sounding rocket zone and at the very end, just before Kourou, the technical center. It includes offices, the Museum of Space and the control room « Jupiter ». Faded in the Kourou launching center. The team carries the choice of electronic music composed by itself to accompany the film. « Planets and satellites » describe the Solar System, its planets, and the various celestial objects that move about it. « The stars » are interested in our Sun, the life cycle of stars and the various types of stars present in the Universe. The sounds capes of stars will be combined with the sound captured by the space, the gravitational walls of the Universe. The light is natural while expressing the beauty of our Milky Way to the countless distant galaxies of the cosmos, « the galaxies and beyond », addresses the study of the Universe as a whole and raises dizzying questions about its dimensions and its limits. Aesthetics is very well cared for; the International Space Station is highlighted. Vessels have visited all the planets of our Solar System, what about Pluto? The film ends with the next stage of departure for the stars!
