Clooney is responding to Sec. of State Mike Pompeo saying that "steady reductions in sea ice are opening new passageways and new opportunities for trade."
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo saying that "steady reductions in sea ice are opening new passageways and new opportunities for trade" was apparently the last straw for George Clooney.
Pompeo's comments came concurrently with a new report from the UN that one million species were at risk of extinction due to human factors like pollution and climate change (those "reductions in sea ice"), as reported by CNN.

Clooney was earnest and compelling in his argument. After all, as he pointed out at the top of the commercial, he is an actor, director and two-time "Sexiest Man Alive." If those aren't solid credentials, what are?
"Together we can win the fight against dumf--kiness," Clooney insisted, though he didn't seem particularly confident that even the DUMASS program could do much to stem the tide.
