00:06It's not a case of not knowing what can happen. There are certain events that happen where you
00:13don't know the consequences and those consequences then take place. Here like there is scientific
00:17evidence that all this is happening. It's irreversible. Why are people not scared then?
00:21You see think of alcoholism, think of obesity, think of substance abuse of any kind, think of any kind
00:29of compulsive obsession. Does the person involved not know what is coming towards him? What is in
00:36store for him? He knows that very well. With every morsel you are aware that you are overeating,
00:41that this is beyond your calorie brief and yet you take it in because there is a certain pleasure
00:48involved with emitting carbon. Our emotions are carbon, our celebrations are carbon, our feelings,
00:53our relationship, our happiness, our sense of progress. Everything is carbon. And that's why
01:00I say that the only solution that this crisis can potentially have is neither political nor technical.
01:07The solution will be spiritual. Because carbon, truly speaking, is emitted by the emptiness inside mankind.
01:16We do not know what we want and hence we want everything. And that requires attempt and energy.
01:22And energy is emission. Energy is carbon.
