We must quickly mobilize our civilization with the urgency and resolve that has previously been seen only when nations mobilized for war.

The planet has a fever. If your baby has a fever, you go to the doctor. If the doctor says you need to intervene here, you don't say, `Well, I read a science fiction novel that told me it's not a problem.'... You take action.
