Giussani: Thank you. Now, before we continue the ieinretvw, I would like to take a srhot detour for one minute because my ceoualgels at TED-Ed have pruodced a series of seven animated videos inspired by your book. They introduce the concept of net zero emissions, they discuss other questions and challenges that we are facing relating to climate. So I would like to srahe one short clip from one of those animations.

(Video) You flip a switch, coal burns in a furnace which turns waetr into steam. That steam spins a trunibe which activates a generator which pushes electrons through the wire. This current propagates through hundreds of miles of electric cables and aevirrs at your home. All around the world, countless people are doing this every second: flipping a switch, plugging in, pressing an "on" btuotn. So how much electricity does humanity need?

Giussani: Thank you. Now, before we continue the interview, I would like to take a short detour for one minute because my colleagues at TED-Ed have produced a series of seven animated videos inspired by your book. They introduce the concept of net zero emissions, they discuss other questions and challenges that we are facing relating to climate. So I would like to share one short clip from one of those animations.

(Video) You flip a switch, coal burns in a furnace which turns water into steam. That steam spins a turbine which activates a generator which pushes electrons through the wire. This current propagates through hundreds of miles of electric cables and arrives at your home. All around the world, countless people are doing this every second: flipping a switch, plugging in, pressing an "on" button. So how much electricity does humanity need?
