It’s a stupid job he’s being offfered so he makes a perfect fit. For him, just like Billary, its all about getting the public exposure with the pretense they are doing something good.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon - who is seeking to re-energize the global climate change debate and boost the United Nations' role

Debate? WHAT "debate"? They have an agenda, and brook no "debate": "the science is settled", and only racist, fascist, knuckle-dragging neanderthals, paid off by Big Oil and Big, Dirty Coal dispute it."
