There are so many in this conference who also marched, protested, went to prison, fought, suffered. The idealists sit in this conference. They share ideals based in good measure on those ideals that created your great nation. These men and women were chosen by their people, they must ask their Parliaments and Congresses to ratify what they agree. Mr. President, this conference is doomed, doomed to succeed.
Failure is unthinkable.
The status quo is not good enough. Because that was just yesterday's compromise. Our people can't wait, science and change won't wait. Mr. President they look to you for leadership, and I know I can report back to them that as always America and you are providing that leadership.
