and, in fact, what happened in marrakesh was a quite astounding spectacle. the hope of the world for saving us from this impending disaster was china -- authoritarian, harsh china. that's where hopes were placed. at the same time, the leader of the free world, the richest, most powerful country in history, was acting in such a way as to doom the hopes to total disaster. it is an astonishing spectacle. and it is no less astounding that it received almost no comment, something to think about. well, the effects are quite real. cop21, the paris negotiations, could not reach a verifiable the refusal ofof the republican congress to accept binding commitments. the follow-up conference, cop 22, ended without any issue. we will soon see, in the not very distant future, even more dangerous, horrifying consequences of this failure right here to come to term to address in a serious way this impending crisis. so, say, take the country of bangladesh. within a few years, tens of millions of people will be fleeing from the low-lying coastal plains simply because of the rise

the marrakesh climate change conference produced little progress beyond the emissions goals pledged at paris. as mentioned, the political situation in the united states is of particular concern. the trump administration has put forward candidates for cabinet level positions who foreshadow the possibility of the new administration will be over in a -- will be openly hostile toward progress of even the most modest efforts to avert climate change. climate change should not be a partisan political issue. the well-established physics of the earth are neither liberal nor conservative in character. the international leaders need to refocus attention on achieving the additional carbon emissions and carbon emission reductions that are needed to capitalize on the promise of the paris accord here. in summary, the united states as a very first step needs to make clear, unequivocal statements in the trump administration that it accepts climate change caused by humanactivity as a scientific reality. alternative facts will not make the challenges of climate change magically go away. thank you very mu

they serve the global entrepreneurship summit, and it was held and it was held in places like marrakeshappening under a trump administration. it seems to me like the federal government will be less of a sponsor, and there will be challenges with things like immigration. nothing can stop silicon valley at this point. caroline: we did see an awful lot of politicians and people who have aided the obama administration moved to silicon valley. do you think obama will come over here? will be interesting. i was talking to venture capitalists about obama coming to venture capital land. theave to look at experience that is translatable into tech. might at the white house need to worry that they will not be super embraced with open arms. not be surprised to see our former president on the board of a company like uber or airbnb. caroline: great to have you here. david: caroline, thank you very much. bloomberg technology will air after "with all due respect." the managing director of gray craft partners will be the guest for the hour. we're back to capitol hill. live footage of the trump up inaugur
