At the 1:38:00 mark, oh this is not an exact transcript of this part. I am just human and did as best as I could.

Q:Could you search through your files on climate change, and release that information sooner than later?

A taste of my life for the past 16 months. Multiple parties demanding release on files based on topics. We have done some reporting on climate change, including spying on climate conferences, where countries got together to negotiate accord. i would say 2 things

one thing important to understand, and I realize the temptations to fantasize about what you wish would ccome in the world,and assume that I have it, and I can release it at any moment, edward snowden took a lot of documents, but not on every topic. if he took documents relevant on climate change, they would of been reported on already.

and be careful on saying "This is THE issue." with regards to topics like climate change because there is short term harms and long terms harms. How you weight these is difficult, but i agree with core point, which. We human beings are bad at evaluation risk.

We are tribal creatures. Terrorism triggers a tribal instinct in us which is that we have been attacked as a collective. Its the reason terrorism is so susceptible to being manipulated because its an othering process.There is this other people, outside the collective, who have attacked us. Its a powerful instinct that we as human beings have for all kinds of evolutionary reasons. Terrorists are the outsiders who have attacked us. This is why we responding to it more than say, the distant and scientific threat of climate change, even though, from every rational metric, climate change is much more threatening.

guard against the deliberate manipulation of the makeup of our instinct and emotional constitution because that is how we get led to evaluating this world irrationally.

In regards to peoples tempations that he has all the documents with regards to climate change, and that he can release them at any moment....

Well he does have all the documents that Snowden gave him. Those he has, but is clearly not willing to release them all. Why wont he?

Greenwald said he wrote about climate change, but it was in relation to the topics covered in the Snowden revelations. Interesting is how he said that if snowden took documents on climate change, it would of been reported on already. Then, was the article on spying at Climate conferences not about climate change, but on government spying? Well no shit, he just said so! Its all ok so long as its to prevent the threat of terrorism.

So topics of concern which undermine, that terrorism triggers a tribal instinct in us, which is that we have been attacked as a collective, need to be guarded against .Topics like climate change can manipulate us into, not taking terrorism as a serious threat to the collective, whether it be American or Canadian.

Thus, topics like climate change, must not be allowed to threaten the collective from the terrorist threat. Short term issues are more valuable than long term issues.
