00:00 Do we really deserve to be trusted so much?
00:04 I mean, right now, one particular element, carbon is the problem.
00:07 How do you know and how are you so sure that in the process of dealing with carbon, we
00:13 will not make nitrogen the next big problem?
00:16 It already is coming up, right?
00:18 Nitrogen is an issue, just that this issue will probably become large enough and frightening
00:23 enough three decades later.
00:25 Sulphur is an issue and all kinds of heavy metals are an issue.
00:29 But we are not talking of heavy metals so much today.
00:31 We are not talking of sulphur so much today.
00:33 We are not talking of lead and arsenic so much today.
00:35 We are not talking of radioactive stuff so much today.
00:38 In mitigating carbon, I'm afraid we are going to prop up some other problem because we as
00:43 a species, I'm saying with all humility, are not wise enough.
00:48 Though we think we are just too smart, that's a representative of the oldest civilization
00:52 speaking to the newest one.
