‘WE ARE LIVING AT THIS VERY SPECIAL AND PIVOTAL MOMENT IN HISTORY WHERE, MAYBE, FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, WE ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND BOTH THE PROBLEMS AND THE SOLUTIONS. AND THE QUESTION IS, WILL WE DO THE RIGHT THING AND WORK ON THOSE SOLUTIONS, OR WILL WE SIMPLY BEAR WITNESS TO THE DESTRUCTION? THE DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE TODAY ARE GOING TO DETERMINE THE FUTURE OF THIS PLANET AND THE FUTURE OF OUR SPECIES. IT’S A TIME FOR TRUTH; IT’S A TIME FOR SCIENCE AND STORYTELLING AND JOURNALISM TO WORK TOGETHER COLLABORATIVELY. THE STAKES HAVE NEVER BEEN QUITE SO HIGH.’
