Don't be afraid. There are exquisite things in store for you. This is merely the beginning.
The changing climate is a threat to human rights.
There are some parts of the business world, in my judgment, that are actually trying to ensure that the U. S. does not take on board the preponderance of arguments for global warming, and that is something I am really very concerned about.
The corporate sector per se is bottom-line oriented. It can be very corrupt and it is not very principled. That is why I don't think it is sufficient just to have voluntary codes of behavior. I am in favor of legislation which helps to ensure that there is an even playing field and rewards those who play by the rules.
The UN may not be very effective but I am a fan of the idea of the United Nations. I have been there, I know the problems. To parody Winston Churchill: It is the worst system, except we don't have any other.
I want to see a UN that enables a gathering of energies in which business plays its proper role.
When we see companies who are in complicit relationships with China, for example, making huge profits by providing China with the very software that enables the state to censor its own people, that is not acceptable. We need to engage with such companies to make their responsibilities clear.

It still will be the abundance of man's heart, that slavery extension is wrong; and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak.
