Fresh water is like a fossil fuel; we should not waste it.

There is no question that a very large number of people have to move; you cannot live where the water comes over you. I have not heard one suggestion on how we are going to move one hundred million people out of low-lying areas and what countries would be willing to accept them.

We have to work together to do a better job than we did in the last few generations.

What do we expect the climate to do? How will it affect people? And how can we protect people from hardship? We should be willing to face the facts that things may not go very well.

It's important that you work on things that you care about and do a good job and not be too worried about consequences. Don't be afraid to get involved.

We have to have more consideration for people who have lesser means than we do. It is a problem of survival.

People should treat the oceans like we do anything else that we care about - with consideration, with care, and affection. That's it. For that we must educate.
