00:00I was reading somewhere, do-gooders in the name of climate crisis mitigation tried planting trees

00:06close to a forested area. You know what the trees did? They ate up the forest because the forest was

00:13not used to that particular species. These are called invasive species. So all the native species

00:19of trees, they started disappearing. And when the native trees started disappearing, the birds that

00:24used to live on those trees, they also started disappearing. The entire ecosystem was on the

00:28brink of collapse. They think that if they plant trees, then they can arrest climate change without

00:34even going into the facts and the numbers. Because such greenwashing has been happening since long and

00:39has become even more pervasive today. People think that by planting one trees or ten trees, they have

00:44done their bit, which is not even one percent of the total emissions that they are annually

00:48responsible for. Tree cannot absorb much.
