When asked if I am pessimistic or optimistic about the future, my answer is always the same: If you look at the science about what is happening on earth and arent pessimistic, you dont understand data. But if you meet the people who are working to restore this earth and the lives of the poor, and you arent optimistic, you havent got a pulse. What I see everywhere in the world are ordinary people willing to confront despair, power, and incalculable odds in order to restore some semblance of grace, justice, and beauty to this world.
