00:03deep depression lashes Odisha forces school closures and evacuation prep in 11 districts
00:0910 years back when I would discuss the specter of climate change I would implore my audience and I
00:17would say kindly think how you would answer history's questions the future generations
00:22will have prickly questions to ask and you'll be ashamed the future generations will ask you
00:29when all this was happening where were you and what were you doing now I no more take this line
00:36because there might be no future generations because this might be the very end of history
00:41because there might be just no one to even ask this question what were you doing when all this
00:47was happening this destruction of forests and ecosystems we are already 1.5 degrees above
00:54normal and that has set in motion all kinds of feedback loops and they are now not stoppable
01:00they are irreversible even if we stop emitting carbon those cycles will now proceed on their own
01:07we are talking of cycles that further the emission of carbon are you getting it
