Dinosaur urges world leaders, ‘don’t choose extinction’

In a UN first, a ferocious and talkative dinosaur bursted into the iconic General Assembly Hall at UN Headquarters in New York, with a special warning for any diplomats who still think climate action is for the birds. The dinosaur told the audience of bewildered diplomats that “it’s time humans stopped making excuses and started making changes” to address the climate crisis. “Think of all the other things you could do with that money. Around the world people are living in poverty. Don’t you think that helping them would make more sense than…paying for the demise of your entire species?” the dinosaur said.
released research UNDP shows that the world spends $423 billion annually just to subsidize fossil fuels, enough to cover a COVID-19 vaccination for every person in the world or three times the annual amount needed to eradicate global extreme poverty.
