00:00 We would be just continuing our primitive tendencies of self-deception if we do not

00:13 admit the climate crisis for what it really is.

00:19 It is a crisis of insane consumerism and we consume because we know nothing better to

00:31 do.

00:35 We consume because we have a life to live and we do not know what to do with the 70,

00:41 80 or 90 years and average life spans are rising across the world.

00:51 People are living up to 100, lots of them.

00:56 People are living for long and have huge disposable incomes.

01:04 There are so many countries that have millions of millionaires now.

01:10 The USA obviously being the foremost.

01:16 Millions of millionaires, so much money, so much money and so much time.

01:19 The fellow is going to live for 80 years, 100 years, 110 years.

01:24 What will he do?

01:26 He does not know what to do with life and every bit of action arising from ignorance

01:36 is carbon intensive.

01:39 If you do not have a real purpose to live for, then you will live out of your whims,

01:46 tendencies, emotions and they all have a huge carbon footprint.

01:53 You do not know what to do in life, you will produce a lot of kids.

01:57 I know I am generalizing but then the climate crisis too is a general crisis, is it not?

02:07 So let us keep the exceptions aside.

02:11 Let us look at the common man.

02:12 Thank you.
