When you delve deep enough beneath the surface of Antarctica,
when you drill down and pull up a cylinder of centuries sealed in ice,
when you reveal the history of humanity, slice by slice, millimetre by millimetre, millennium by millennium,
when you see the future taking shape, improbably bright, impossibly delicate,
when you scan the ocean floor and discover a soft white sea slug whose venom contains a blessing, a compound that could promise a cure for childhood leukaemia,
when you look around and realise this is humanity's greatest library and we have read 1% of the books,
when you venture to the coldest, driest, highest, windiest, wonderfullest place on Earth, you discover a deeper truth.
This isn't us saving the planet.
This is the planet saving us.
