A pandemic will pass but the effects of climate change would be irreversible. Let's learn from the pandemic. Covid-19 has put science front and centre.

"We must show, not
merely in the great crises but in the everyday affairs of life, the qualities
of practical intelligence, of courage, of hardihood, and endurance, and above
all the power of devotion to a lofty ideal."
"The principles for
which we stand are the principles of fair play and a Square Deal for every man
and every woman in the United States: a Square Deal politically, a Square Deal
in matters social and industrial."
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
