I have a sense of mission on this climate crisis, and I'm trying to pour all the energy I have into it.

Their fundamental demand is a different regime to provide that future.

To look at the climate crisis alone - and in my view this is an election where we're not just deciding what kind of a world we will be but whether we will have a world or not, going forward.
