GORE: "I hope that the sense of urgency next year is even greater than it is this year. This crisis, the climate crisis, is way worse than people generally realize, way worse. It is getting worse still way faster than people realize. The burden to act that is on the shoulders of the generation of people alive today is a challenge to our moral imagination. This is Thermopylae this is Agincourt, this is the Battle of the Bulge, this is Dunkirk, this is 9/11. We have to rise to this occasion. We have the tools. We have the solutions. We know what to do. We lack the requisite political will — political will for anyone who doubts that we as human beings have the capacity to rise above our limitations and transcend the difficulties we now face. Remember that political will is itself a renewable resource."
