Okay. I will ask Mr. Kelly a question. One of the points he mentioned was that negative emotions with regard to climate change are commonly reported anxieties and worries among children. Obviously, there is no issue about the science. However, should we be more careful in terms of the language we use in the presence of children about catastrophising climate change? Does he think we cannot modulate our language because of the seriousness of the issue?
