Tell us about that.
61:35
Well, as a matter of fact, so tonight we're talking on the 24th of August.
61:40
We actually have a volunteer training.
61:43
I haven't looked at the numbers, but we usually have you know, 100 or more people sign up to come to the training.
61:48
We do it in a giant Zoom room.
61:51
And we basically provide people with a lot of the information you've just asked me about the history of vote riders, what we do, what voter ID is so that they understand generically, not in their specific state, what that means.
62:03
It's what you need in addition to registering to vote.

to be my next question, because if people are time poor but have the funds that they can help out.

Like many people, she worries that the target of a global temperature rise of one and a half degrees agreed over a decade ago at the Paris Climate Summit is far from on course to being met.
8:32
We can see that the glaciers have receded.
8:34
They've lost, in this particular region, they've lost somewhere between 10 and 20% of their ice.
8:41
We could lose as much as 30, 35, maybe even 40% of the ice by 2100 if we continue pouring out emissions in the way we're doing right now.
8:54
And if we stay above two degrees for any length of time, you're probably going to see at least half of the glaciers in the region disappear.
10:50
There are also parts of the hillside that are effectively glued together by ice, and now that glue is disappearing.
10:59
So you get avalanches, you get flooding, glacier lake outburst floods, which are when you've got the glacier melting quite a bit and it forms a lake at the end.
11:11
And if the dam that is in front of that, which is sometimes dirt or a mixture of dirt and ice, if that bursts, then suddenly you get a huge amount of water going downstream.
