00:00When the Nepal floods had happened, one thing that I had seen was whoever I spoke to, there was this
00:06overwhelming feeling that I got from them that they felt this was not going to happen to them.
00:12This is happening somewhere else in another country and it is someone else's problem.
00:17How does that divide break? Because it is such a strong feeling of separation.
00:22The carbon dioxide molecule understands, acknowledges no divides. You emit here and you suffer there.
00:30The country bearing the brunt of this catastrophe, Nepal, is among one of the lowest per capita emitters in the
00:39world.
00:40It is not their carbon dioxide they are suffering from and that must read out as a loud warning to
00:47us.
00:48But then look at all the COPs and the summits. Countries are negotiating with each other.
00:54You know, you reduce, you emit the maximum. Divisions, divisions and divisions.
00:59And the molecule is smiling because the molecule does not require visa or passport.
01:06You emit in New York and Kathmandu suffers.
