We Can't Wish Away Climate Change (Gore, NYTimes)
I, for one, genuinely wish that the climate crisis were an illusion.

In fact, the crisis is still growing because we are continuing to dump 90 million tons of global-warming pollution every 24 hours into the atmosphere — as if it were an open sewer.
