"FOSSILS OF THE EARTH" 2'53"
Humans have continued to burn carbon stored in the earth.
Humans have continued to dig up gold that sleeps in the earth.
The burned carbon became energy for industry, causing global warming.
The excavated gold became currency and a symbol of wealth.
Average global temperatures are continuing to rise.
Wealth inequality is greater than ever.
The time has come for both carbon and gold to be returned to the earth.
