Derek Jeter is at the Davos World Economic Forum hoping to discuss climate change. While the Yankee captain isn’t exactly known for getting involved in politics, Jeter says he hopes in the wake of Hurricane Sandy that climate change is addressed as global political and business leaders gather in Switzerland. Jeter, who is sponsored by Gatorade, was invited by Pepsi, which owns the brand. “I was in New York for Hurricane Sandy,” Jeter told the Columbus Dispatch following a private lunch thrown by Pepsi. Climate change is “just something that’s gotten so much attention,” 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 . . . Something has to be causing it.” But while saying it was an “honor” to attend the forum, calling it “the biggest business conference in the world,” he added he doesn’t try to inject himself into politics: “I know my place.” But, according to Tina Brown’s Twitter feed, he did have an opinion on Lance Armstrong: “Should have admitted mistake and moved on. He fooled everyone.” More than 2,500 business leaders, politicians and academics are attending the gathering on key issues facing the world in 2013. They include German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti, Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev, British PM David Cameron, IMF chair Christine Lagarde, Yahoo’s Marissa Mayer, JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon and UBS Chairman Axel Weber. Jeter, who’s recovering from surgery on his fractured left ankle, has been working out at the Yankees training complex and says he expects to be in the Opening Day lineup on April 1.
