The best Secretary of State in my lifetime, and a man of thoughtful intelligence and integrity. We've been especially lucky that he has had the vision to understand so clearly the links between environmental problems and national/international security, and has pushed so forcefully to effect progress on climate change and - an issue for which he has deep interests and expertise - global ocean health. (There has been some real progress on international fisheries issues in the last few years, and it is due largely to Kerry's vision, expertise and commitment in these areas)
