00:00 If you just read the kind of forest cover that we are losing every day, it would come
00:06 as a horrible shock.
00:07 And a lot of that is exactly because we have gone up from 6 billion to 8 billion.
00:13 Every new addition, every fresh addition to our species actually means a death warrant
00:20 for at least 10,000 members of other species.
00:25 The moment a human kid is born, several thousand other organisms, animals, plants, are condemned
00:33 to death.
00:34 That's where we stand.
00:35 And the global temperature that has risen by 1.5 degrees is not going to stop at 1.5
00:42 or even 2 or probably even at 3.
00:45 It might rise to 4 or 5 degrees centigrade.
00:48 And the results are going to be catastrophic.
00:51 And all that is going to happen within our lifetimes.
