 The Arctic is really a kind of weather vane for climate change. You can come here and you can see all of the changes that are occurring because of the huge amount of carbon dioxide that we're putting into the atmosphere. It's like paint being poured on the top of the planet and dripping down on time scales of decades. As it gets further south, we're going to see effects where the temperatures will be really rising rapidly. We're seeing lots more flooding, we're seeing more instances of drought, we're seeing high levels of rain variability even if we're living on different parts of the world. Climate change is a reality. We need to connect the best minds and the best hearts and have them work together to create solutions that we might not even know about. The 18 hottest years ever recorded, 17 of them have been in this century. This is 250,000 year old ice that will never be replaced again and you see the beauty and you feel it and you realize this is going away. We are moving very close towards a world that has irreversible damage to it. We'll have sea level rise no matter what happens for at least 500 years and it's not going to get cooler on any time scale we know. The planet is going to be here whether we're going to live on it or not. It's us that we're losing. We have not communicated this in a way that moves people's hearts and minds enough. There is a missing trust between society and science and it can only be bridged by establishing communication platforms that are better. When you look at the efficiency of how we're actually running our business it is not that efficient right now. We also have hundreds of thousands of computers that are alive constantly taking up energy. Nobody looks at their software development practices anymore. They don't realize that like a random for loop costs lots of money. Every day there's a city council who's done a new bike sharing program or a new financing green bond that's going on. I hope to accelerate that by telling the stories about what's working. When humanity is pressed to the wall we always arise to the occasion.
