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.

People have to realize that the air we breathe and the water we drink come from the ocean and will go back to the ocean one way or another, no matter how far away we may be from it. It's a perpetual cycle.

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 must have the hope to be able to succeed.

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

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

We still have hope; it is what keeps us going.
