If world leaders, corporations and citizens won’t listen to the experts, perhaps they’ll listen to Jack Black.
That’s what the United Nations is hoping for. The organization roped in Jack Black to play a dinosaur pleading with humanity to tackle climate change before it’s too late.
In the video, a dinosaur busts in the General Assembly Hall and starts berating world leaders with quips like “I know a thing or two about extinction, and let me tell you — and you’d kind of think this would be obvious — going extinct is a bad thing” and “At least we had an asteroid. What’s your excuse?”.
The dinosaur ends his plea by asking us to save our species before it’s too late.
The video features Jack Black for English-speaking territories but the UN hired a lot of actors to cover more regions.
In France, Aïssa Maïga voices the dinosaur, while in Denmark you have the famous Game of Thrones actor, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jamie Lannister).
