我今天很荣幸来到这里，不是以专家身份，而是以一个关心气候问题的市民身份站在你们面前，不仅是作为周日漫步在纽约街头的40万市民之一，也作为全世界数十亿想要解决气候危机的人们之一。
As an actor I pretend for a living. I play fictitious characters often solving fictitious problems.
作为一个演员，我以扮演别人的方式谋生。我扮演虚构的角色去解决虚构的问题。
I believe that mankind has looked at Climate Change in that same way, as if it were a fiction, as if pretending that Climate Change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away. But I think we all know better than that now.
我觉得过去人类也是以同样的方式看待气候变化，好像这是一件虚构的事情，好像假装气候变化不是真实的事情，就能让它消失。但我想我们现在了解得更多了。
Every week, we’re seeing new and undeniable Climate Events, evidence that accelerated Climate Change is here right now.

这一切都不是夸张，也不是狂热，是铮铮的事实。科学界知道这些，工业界和政府知道，甚至美国军队也知道。

我的朋友们，这个团体——也许比人类历史上的任何一次集结人数更多，正面临着一个艰巨但可以达成的任务。你可以选择创造历史，或者被历史蔑视。
