In a video released on social media, a computer-generated dinosaur can bee seen bursting into the UN’s famous General Assembly hall in New York to tell world diplomats that “going extinct is a bad thing.”
The United Nations is summoning an unusual “witness” to testify to the dangers of burning fossil fuels that stoke global warming: a dinosaur.
In a video released on social media ahead of this year’s UN climate change summit, a computer-generated dinosaur bursts into the UN’s famous General Assembly hall in New York to tell world diplomats that “going extinct is a bad thing.”The light-hearted clip, voiced in the English version by actor Jack Black, carries a serious message that the UN Development Programme hopes to drive home.
“You’re headed for a climate disaster,” the dinosaur proclaims. “And yet every year, governments spend hundreds of billions of public funds on fossil fuel subsidies. Imagine if we had spent hundreds of billions per year subsidizing giant meteors.”
