Transcript
00:00Today, I'm pleased to announce the United States will join
00:041 trillion trees initiative being launched here at the World Economic Forum 1 trillion trees
00:12Planting trees is good of course, but it's nowhere near enough of what is needed
00:18And it cannot replace real mitigation and rewilding nature. This is not a time for pessimism
00:26this is a time for
00:29Optimism
00:30fear and doubt is
00:32Not a good thought process. You say children shouldn't worry
00:38You say just leave this to us
00:42We will fix this we promise we won't let you down. Don't be so pessimistic and
00:48then
00:50Nothing, we will never let radical socialists destroy our economy wreck our country
00:56Or eradicate our liberty. This is not about rights or left
01:03We couldn't care less about your party politics
01:07The United States is now by far the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world by far
01:13It's not even close. We demand at this year's World Economic Forum
01:19participants from all
01:20companies banks
01:22institutions and governments
01:25immediately halt all investments in fossil fuel exploration and extraction
01:31immediately end all fossil fuel subsidies and
01:35Immediately and completely divest from fossil fuels to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow
01:41we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the
01:47Apocalypse our house is still on fire
01:52Your inaction is fueling the flames by the hour and
01:58We are telling you to act as if you loved your children above all else
02:04Thank you
