Every year that we don't reduce emissions
4
9560
1971
Cada any que passa sense reduir emissions
00:11
represents another 55 gigatons of greenhouse gases

that future generations will have to scrub out of the air.

que les properes generacions hauran de netejar.
00:19
That would cost 8 trillion dollars a year,
7

Ens costaria 8 bilions de dòlars l'any
00:22
almost half the entire US economy today.

22280
3076
la meitat de l'economia dels EUA.
00:25
And that price doesn't include the cost of people forced to move,

que haver de capturar tot el que ja hem emès.
00:41
Every ton of carbon dioxide we emit now imposes a burden on us and the planet,
14
41900
6306
Cada tona de diòxid de carboni que emetem ara
suposa una càrrega per a nosaltres i pel planeta
00:48
but also a debt that would have to be paid by our children
15
48230
3338
però sobretot un deute que pagaran els nostres fills
00:51
and untold generations to come.
16

i incomptables generacions futures.
