Bremmer: Derek Jeter Should Stick to Baseball: Challenges at Davos

Shouldn’t Derek Jeter be more concerned about glacial movement than glacial melting?

Bunting for climate change

Surprise! Derek Jeter was here in Davos; PepsiCo flew him out to talk climate change and raise awareness. Jeter said: “Regardless of how you feel about it, it’s something that needs to be addressed because we’re seeing more and more natural disasters each year, it seems like. Something has to be causing it.”

...There have been a lot of publicity stunts to bring attention to climate change. But surely the only thing less effective than global climate summits is having Derek Jeter tackle the issue. As he’s speaking, the only pressing question on anyone’s mind is the status of that left ankle and whether he’ll be ready for Opening Day.
