Text Quotes
We can’t tell an electorate... when you have something like in excess of 300 million people without any access to electricity at all that you have to put a cap on this  (Climate Change Quotes) ... climate change is accelerating. It threatens our well being, our security, and our economic development. It will lead to uncontrollable risks and dramatic damage if we do not take resolute countermeasures  (Climate Change Quotes) India was a late comer to industrialization, and as such, we have contributed very little to the accumulation of greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming. But we are determined to be part of the solution to the problem  (Climate Change Quotes) We have pledged to be the greenest government ever. We must lead by example... We are not asking others to do things we will not do ourselves  (Climate Change Quotes) I think we can say our energy system will be the most efficient and environmentally friendly in the world  (Climate Change Quotes) Eventually, we can get to a system where an electric company will be able to hold back some of the power so that maybe your air conditioner won’t operate at its peak  (Climate Change Quotes) We need a more authoritative world... What’s the alternative to democracy? There isn’t one. But even the best democracies agree that when a major war approaches, democracy must be put on hold for the time being. I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as severe as war. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while  (Climate Change Quotes) Capitalism and the thirst for profit without limits of the capitalist system are destroying the planet... Climate change has placed all humankind before a great choice: to continue in the ways of capitalism and death, or to start down the path of harmony with nature and respect for life  (Climate Change Quotes) If you look at all the serious scientists in the world, there is no big disagreement on the basics of this... it would be absolute lunacy to act as if climate change is not occurring  (Climate Change Quotes) ... every time someone dies as a result of floods in Bangladesh, an airline executive should be dragged out of his office and drowned  (Climate Change Quotes) All modeling efforts will inevitably converge on the result most likely to lead to further funding  (Climate Change Quotes) And then you see right away it may well happen that you enter a decade or maybe even two, when the temperature cools relative to the present level... I’m definitely not one of the skeptics... However, we have to ask the nasty questions ourselves, or some other people will do it  (Climate Change Quotes) The concept of national sovereignty has been an immutable, indeed sacred, principle of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation. It is simply not feasible for sovereignty to be exercised unilaterally by individual nation states, however powerful. The global community must be assured of environmental security  (Climate Change Quotes) Trend analyses for extreme tropical cyclones are unreliable because of operational changes that have artificially resulted in more intense tropical cyclones being recorded, casting severe doubts on any such trend linkages to global warming  (Climate Change Quotes) Never has good weather felt so bad. Never have flowers inspired so much fear. Never has the warm caress of a sunbeam seemed so ominous. The weather is sublime, it’s glorious, it’s the end of the world  (Climate Change Quotes) It’s a new normal and I really do think that global weirding is the best way to describe what we’re seeing  (Climate Change Quotes) According to any textbook on dynamic meteorology, one may reasonably conclude that in a warmer world, extratropical storminess and weather variability will actually decrease  (Climate Change Quotes) Sometimes the very learned and clever can be brilliantly foolish, especially when seized by an apparently good cause  (Climate Change Quotes) We have a responsibility to protect the rights of generations, of all species, that cannot speak for themselves today. The global challenge of climate change requires that we ask no less of our leaders, or ourselves  (Climate Change Quotes) Global climate change is real and we have a limited time to change our behavior or live with the consequences. We can all help by making small changes in our lives to letting our voice be heard by our governing bodies. As has always been the case in this country, if the people demand change, it will come  (Climate Change Quotes) Believing that the rustle in the grass is a dangerous predator when it is only the wind does not cost much, but believing that a dangerous predator is the wind may cost an animal its life  (Climate Change Quotes) Science is so powerful that it drags us kicking and screaming towards the truth despite our best efforts to avoid it  (Climate Change Quotes) Why would scientists dedicated to uncovering the truth about the natural world deliberately misrepresent the work of their own colleagues? Why would they spread accusations with no basis? Why would they refuse to correct their arguments once they had been shown to be incorrect? And why did the press continue to quote them, year after year, even as their claims were shown, one after another, to be false?  (Climate Change Quotes) Governments are trying to achieve unanimity by stifling any scientist who disagrees. Einstein could not have got funding under the present system  (Climate Change Quotes) Statements about climate trends must be based on, er, trends. Not individual events or occurrences. Weather is not climate, and anecdotes are not statistics  (Climate Change Quotes) The number of hypotheses and theories about climate change are numerous. Quite naturally they have caught the public attention, as any proof of past climactic change points to the possibility of future climate change, which inevitably will have significant implications for global economics  (Climate Change Quotes) While we cannot accurately predict the course of climate change in the coming decades, the risks we run if we don’t change our course are enormous. Prudent risk management does not equate uncertainty with inaction  (Climate Change Quotes) It doesn’t matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true  (Climate Change Quotes) Human society cannot basically stop the destruction of the environment under capitalism. Socialism is the only structure that makes it possible  (Climate Change Quotes) The need for a global structure of control in the form of a world environment court is now more urgent than ever before  (Climate Change Quotes)
