200 years ago, in Parliament, in Great Britain, there was a long argument over economy versus morality.

25 percent -- just like 25 percent emissions today comes from cars
百分之25，像我們今天所說的百分之25的汽車排放量，
25 percent of their energy for the entire industrial world in the U.K. came from a source of energy that was immoral: human slaves.
支持英國整個工業(yè)世界的百分之25的能源，來自一個非常不道德的渠道：奴隸。
And there was an argument. Should we stop using slaves? And what would it do to our economy?
于是便有了如此的一個爭議。我們應(yīng)該停止使用奴隸嗎？如果我們停止使用奴隸，那我們的經(jīng)濟將變成怎樣？
And people said, "Well we need to take time to do it. Let's not do it immediately.
而且人們說，“那可得要花時間啊。”暫時先不要急。
Maybe we free the kids and keep the slaves.
我們可以先把奴隸的孩子釋放，把奴隸留著。
And after a month of arguments they decided to stop slavery,
經(jīng)過一個月的爭論后，他們決定停止奴隸制，
and the industrial revolution started within less than one year.
工業(yè)革命在不到一個月內(nèi)隨之誕生。
And the U.K. had 100 years of economic growth.
英國因此獲得100年的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展。
We have to make the right moral decision. We have to make it immediately.
我們得做出正確的道德選擇。我們必須馬上行動。
We need to have presidential leadership just like we had in Israel that said we will end oil.
我們需要總統(tǒng)的領(lǐng)導，就像我們在以色列宣誓我們將不再使用石油。
And we need to do it not within 20 years or 50 years,
我們需要在今天行動，不是在20年到50年之內(nèi)，
but within this presidential term because if we don't,
而是在這個總統(tǒng)任期內(nèi)，因為如果我們不采取行動，
we will lose our economy, right after we'd lost our morality. Thank you all very much.
我們將失去我們的經(jīng)濟，接著我們將失去我們的道德體系。謝謝大家。
