Life is insanely robust, though we can make species go extinct, and this is the bad thing. So I always make the point that you can't say, 'Is it too late?' That is the terrible question, because either answer promotes inaction. If it's too late, you don't need to act; if it's not too late, you don't need to act.

尽管我们可以让物种灭绝,但生命是异常强健的,这是件坏事。所以我总是强调,你不能说,‘是不是太晚了?这是一个可怕的问题,因为任何一个答案都会导致无所作为。如果太晚了,你不需要采取行动;如果还不算太晚,你不需要采取行动。
