Text Quotes
How long have we got? We have to stabilize emissions of carbon dioxide within a decade, or temperatures will warm by more than one degree... We don’t have much time left  (Climate Change Quotes) In brief, we have the new paradigm where simulation and programs have replaced theory and observation, where government largely determines the nature of scientific activity, and where the primary role of professional societies is the lobbying of the government for special advantage  (Climate Change Quotes) If other countries don’t impose a cost on carbon, then we will be at a disadvantage... we would look at considering perhaps duties that would offset that cost  (Climate Change Quotes) Every person is the right person to act. Every moment is the right moment to begin  (Climate Change Quotes) Healing the wounds of the earth and its people does not require saintliness or a political party, only gumption and persistence. It is not a liberal or conservative activity; it is a sacred act  (Climate Change Quotes) How is it that we have created an economic system that tells us it is cheaper to destroy the earth and exhaust its people than to nurture them both? Is it rational to have an pricing system which discounts the future and sells off the past? How did we create an economic system that confused capital liquidation with income?  (Climate Change Quotes) If you think about the impact of climate change, it should be how a doctor would deal with the problem. A scientific hypothesis is tested to absolute destruction, but medicine can’t wait. If a doctor sees a child with a fever, he can’t wait for endless tests. He has to act on what is there. The risk of delay is so enormous that we can’t wait until we are absolutely sure the patient is dying  (Climate Change Quotes) I’m in the dark as to how close to an edge or transition to a new ocean and climate regime we might me. But I know which way we are walking. We are walking toward the cliff  (Climate Change Quotes) Clean coal represents a breakthrough in the marketing of coal, but not in the science of burning coal  (Climate Change Quotes) Now is not the time to shrink from the challenge of saving our only home in the universe. Now is not the time to pull into ourselves, retreating into either survivalist or escapist mode. To the contrary, this is the time for titans, not turtles. Now is the time to open our arms, expand our horizons, and dream big. Big problems require big solutions  (Climate Change Quotes) Oil depletion and climate change will create an entirely new context in which political struggles will be played out. Within that context, it is not just freedom, democracy, and equality that are at stake, but the survival of billions of humans and of whole ecosystems  (Climate Change Quotes) We must not put pressure on people, but by providing information on the population and the environments, and appropriate contraception for everyone... doctors should help bring family size into the arena of environmental ethics, analogous to avoiding patio heaters and high carbon cars  (Climate Change Quotes) I wonder what sentences judges might hand down at future international criminal tribunals on those who will be partially but directly responsible for millions of deaths from starvation, famine, and disease in the decades ahead  (Climate Change Quotes) If humans weren’t here and we didn’t care about anything that lives here, if this were a video game, I’d push the button and see what happens, because it’d be really exciting; but it’s not a video game  (Climate Change Quotes) The big damages come if the climate sensitivity to greenhouse gases turns out to be high causing greater global warming than current projections. Then it’s not a bullet headed at us, but a thermonuclear warhead  (Climate Change Quotes) However it is achieved, a thorough reorganisation of production, consumption and distribution will be the end result of humanity’s response to the climate emergency and the broader environmental crisis  (Climate Change Quotes) Climate is not responding to greenhouse gases in the way we thought it might. If increasing carbon dioxide is in fact increasing climate change, its impact is smaller than natural variation. People are being misled by people making money out of this  (Climate Change Quotes) The more the climate is forced to change, the more likely it is to hit some unforeseen threshold that can trigger quite fast, surprising and perhaps unpleasant changes  (Climate Change Quotes) A new chapter in the history of international politics has begun, one in which the pursuit and control of energy resources would be the central dynamic of world affairs, and governments  (Climate Change Quotes) No generation before us has faced a decade of choices that will so profoundly impact the course of life on this planet as those we now face. And no generation before us has had the opportunity to enrich the future so vastly  (Climate Change Quotes) Stabilizing the climate is not about saving the human species... Stabilizing the climate is a precious opportunity to pass on to all future human beings gifts of immense value, gifts that, once gone, will be beyond the imagination and skill of humanity to recreate  (Climate Change Quotes) A warming of this magnitude would risk the end of civilization as we know it by the end of this century  (Climate Change Quotes) Today’s dialogue has succeeded in reinforcing the need for international partnerships and cooperation in tackling the reality of climate change  (Climate Change Quotes) Global climate change has a profound impact on the survival and development of mankind. It is a major challenge facing all countries  (Climate Change Quotes) If we think of what’s up ahead, with climate change and wars over water, it’s very frightening  (Climate Change Quotes) I think we have a very brief window of opportunity to deal with climate change... no longer than a decade, at the most  (Climate Change Quotes) We’ve known for some time that we have to worry about the impacts of climate change on our children’s and grandchildren’s generations. But we now have to worry about ourselves as well  (Climate Change Quotes) What degree of proof about the human catastrophe from global climate change do we need, before we are motivated to act to prevent it?  (Climate Change Quotes) You’d be forgiven for thinking that climate change means we’ll have to sacrifice our creature comforts. But it doesn’t have to be that way  (Climate Change Quotes) We’re the first generation to feel the impact of climate change and the last generation that can do something about it.’  (Climate Change Quotes)
