Past midnight in Paris for #COP21. Everyone working hard. A critical moment, an opportunity we can't afford to miss.

than a climate change agreement.
Wouldn't that be wonderful!

We are so lucky that he continues to work to make the world a better place.
His integrity, persistence and optimism and creativity in brokering constructive action are a daily inspiration.

America and the planet are so lucky that he is at last in a position where, liberated from the partisan squabbling of a broken Congress, he's been able to do the work he's always wanted to do, to make a real difference, improve the world significantly. No question he deserves the Nobel, whether he ever gets it or not. An agreement would be a fabulous birthday present indeed, but whatever happens, I'm glad he is doing the work he loves on his birthday.

...that his work will be validated by historians and finally be appreciated more a hundred years from now.
And he TOTALLY deserves the Nobel for his work, both as SOS and for the totality of his career. 🇺🇸
