“We’ve all read the horrible headlines about record ocean temperatures, species racing toward extinction, and children starving from lack of food,” said Susan Rockefeller to the nearly 200 business, philanthropic, and cultural leaders in attendance. “Science tells us that if we can rebuild healthy and abundant oceans, we can feed more than a billion people a healthy seafood meal every day, forever.

Bankers like numbers. Numbers tell the story. No emotion gets in the way. So let’s look at the numbers: Over the past three years — that is, in the years after the world came together in Paris to try to slow climate change — JPMorgan Chase lent $196 billion to the fossil-fuel industry.

Long before Boots Riley directed the new film “Sorry to Bother You,” he fronted the justice-minded rap group The Coup. And one of their most beloved songs, “Pimps,” had an eerily accurate take on Donald Trump, decades before he became president.
The song, from the 1994 album “Genocide and Juice,” argues that corporate America and corrupt politicians steal much more money than anyone committing street crimes. It likens old-money billionaires to pimps who callously exploit others for their own gain.
“Sorry to Bother You” stars Lakeith Stanfield as a telemarketer who adopts a “white voice” to befriend customers and quickly rise through the ranks of his call center. “Pimps” takes the opposite approach: Rich guys David Rockefeller and Jp Getty try to impress a woman at a party using this “thing we do with our voices — we sing like authentic rappers!”

“The real reason you’re giving Ted Danson this award tonight is that for more than 30 years he has been at this cause,” President Clinton said. He also spoke about the need to protect ocean ecosystems from the threat of climate change and discussed how healthy, sustainable fisheries can help feed the world’s population.
Ted Danson thanked President Clinton and the assembled crowd for his award. “I kept showing up,” he said. “Everything else was the people around me.”
“This life is not about you or about us,” Danson said. “It’s about stewardship of what we’ve been given.
