There is an awful lot going on here. I suggest you watch it two or three times. This rides that razor’s edge between sarcasm, satire, and sincerity. Only the Brits could come up with something like this.

Why not say “Yes” to Solar, Wind, and Hydro Power and “No” to fossil fuels! But when? And who will lead us?
This perspective is deeply appreciated; but it is evidently not shared by most of the leaders in my not-so-great generation of elders. Our behavior speaks louder than any words. Our behavior indicates with remarkable clarity that Earth and its environs are not nearly as important as the growth of, and profits derived from, the artificially designed, manmade construction called the global economy.
Your perspective appears to suggest that “It’s the ECOLOGY, STUPID!”; whereas the great majority of our leaders would say that “It’s the ECONOMY, STUPID!” Too many leaders think only of economic growth and profits. Earth’s ecology is an afterthought.
Perhaps time is short to make the necessary changes; and, indeed, time is not on our side.
The singer, Madonna, reports to all of us in her latest song that we have just “four minutes to save the world.”
We need to go far fast in a new direction. But, where do we find the leaders to take us in the direction we need to go? Most of our leaders appear to be engaged in idolatry of the global political economy, come what may for our children, biodiversity, a limited resource base, frangible ecosystem services and the Earth as a fit place for human habitation by coming generations.

Steve, please stop multi-posting the same thing.
Anyway, a comment *RELEVANT TO THE POST*, Russell Brand is a clever guy, and anything that looks like sarcasm and irony almost certainly is.
He is really saying – for f*** sake, make up your mind what you want to do!
