We,the human species,are confronting a planetary emergency – a threat to the survival of our civilization that is gathering ominous and destructive potential even as we gather here.But there is hopeful news as well:we have the ability to solve this crisis and avoid the worst – though not all-of its consequence,if we act boldly,decisively and quickly.However,despite a growing number of honorable exceptions,too many of the world's leaders are still best described in the words Winston Churchill applied to those who ignored Adolf Hitler's threat:" They go on in strange paradox,decided only to be undecided,resolved to be irresolute,adamant for drift,solid for fluidity,all powerful to be impotent."
