Rather spoke on the topics of climate change, science and journalism. Considering the reason Rather parted ways with CBS News, parts of his speech were something else:
White House correspondents are facing a blizzard of misinformation and downright lies, former @CBSNews anchor Dan Rather tells journalists at #AGU2017

Well, he should know. But see what he did there? Rather made outlets like CNN and ABC News victims of lies, not the ones doing the lying. But Rather got even funnier:

Powerful words from Dan Rather @theAGU right now. Science & journalism seek truth. Nothing fake. Let us not fall prey to vested interests. Engage! #AGU2017

“Nothing fake”? Bwa-ha-ha!
Remember "Fake but accurate" on those letters dissing Pres. Bush's service record? Dan Rather lost his anchor job for promoting them w/o checking. That's why he's a perfect spokesman for you guys now. https://t.co/PWiOt8O2ts
