Clara: Great, as long as I don’t think too hard about all the essays I have to write this term! Ben: Yeah ... Clara: Hey, are you OK? Ben: I have to admit, I’m struggling a bit. Maybe even a lot. I’ve not been sleeping well at all and then I can’t concentrate. And all these things are just going around and around in my head. Clara: Mmm ... that doesn’t sound good. So, you’re sleeping badly and you can’t concentrate. Is that all it is,
2 do you think? Ben: Well, if I’m honest, it’s more than that. I’m starting to dread going outside. I find myself worrying about stupid things like what if I forget the way home. Or, what if I go to class thinking it’s Monday but actually it’s Friday and I’m in the wrong place at the wrong time. It sounds even more stupid when I say it out loud. It took me two hours to leave the house today. Clara: It doesn’t sound stupid at all. It actually sounds a lot like me last year. Ben: Really? But you’re so together! Clara: I’ve learned to be, but even I still have bad days. I used to have panic attacks and everything. When you were trying to leave the house today, how did you feel? Ben: Like I couldn’t breathe. And my heart was going way too fast. Clara: Hmm ... that sounds like a panic attack to me. Ben: I thought I was going to die. Clara: You’d be surprised how common they are. Loads of people have them, they just don’t talk about it. Ben: How did you get over them? Clara: I actually talked to a doctor about it, and you should too. But I learned some practical things as well. Though they’re easier said than done, and they’re going to sound weird, so hear me out, OK? Ben: OK ...

TRANSCRIPT Leonardo DiCaprio – Actor Thank you, Mr Secretary General, your Excellencies ladies and gentlemen and distinguished guests. I’m honored to be here today. I stand before you not as an expert but as a concerned citizen – one of the 400,000 people who marched in the
4 streets of New York on Sunday and the billions of others around the world who want to solve our climate crisis. As an actor, I pretend for a living. I play fictitious characters, often solving fictitious problems. I believe that mankind has looked at climate change in that same way, as if it were fiction, as if pretending the climate change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away. But I think we all know better than that now. Every week we’re seeing new and undeniable climate events, evidence that accelerated climate change is here right now. Droughts are intensifying. Our oceans are acidifying with methane plumes rising up from the ocean floor. We are seeing extreme weather events and the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets melting at unprecedented rates, decades ahead of scientific projections. None of this is rhetoric and none of it is hysteria. It is fact. The scientific community knows it. Industry knows it. Governments know it. Even the United States military knows it. The Chief of the US Navy’s Pacific Command Admiral Samuel Locklear recently said that climate change is our single greatest security threat. My friends, this body, perhaps more than any other gathering in human history now faces this difficult but achievable task. You can make history or you will be vilified by it. To be clear this is not about just telling people to change their light bulbs or to buy a hybrid car. This disaster has grown beyond the choices that individuals make. This is now about our industries and our governments around the world taking decisive large-scale action. Now must be our moment for action. We need to put a price tag on carbon emissions and eliminate government subsidies for all oil coal and gas companies. We need to end the free ride that industrial polluters have been given in the name of a free market economy. They do not deserve our tax dollars. They deserve our scrutiny for the economy itself will die if our ecosystems collapse. The good news is that renewable energy is not only achievable but good economic policy. This is not a partisan debate. It is a human one. Clean air and a livable climate are inalienable human rights. And solving this crisis is not a question of politics. It is a question of our own survival. This is the most urgent of times and the most urgent of messages. Honored delegates, leaders of the world, I pretend for a living but you do not. The people made their voices heard on Sunday around the world and the momentum will not stop. But now it is your turn. The time to answer humankind’s greatest challenge is now. We beg of you to face it with courage and honesty. Thank you.
