Fossil Quotes

Burning fossil fuels is like breaking up the furniture to feed the fireplace because it’s easier than going out to the woodpile Picture Quote #1

Many governments are giving subsidies to fossil fuel production and consumption that encourage greenhouse gas emissions, at the same time as they are spending on projects to promote clean energy. This is a wasteful use of scarce budget resources Picture Quote #1

The worst thing we can do as a nation is taking the easy way out. If you start opening up offshore drilling, then you are buying time and you are not addressing the fundamental problem with fossil fuels Picture Quote #1

Energy markets can be thought of as suffering from appendicitis due to fossil fuel subsidies. They need to be removed for a healthy energy economy Picture Quote #1

The consensus is clear. We need an immediate and determined shift to a clean, renewable economy. The continued mass burning of fossil fuels is inconsistent with a healthy, prosperous future for our civilization Picture Quote #1

That’s how fossil hunting is: It takes over, like a hunger, and nothing else matters but what you find. And even when you find it, you still start looking again the next minute, because there might be something even better waiting Picture Quote #1

The truth is, natural organisms have managed to do everything we want to do without guzzling fossil fuels, polluting the planet or mortgaging the future Picture Quote #1

Humans build their societies around consumption of fossil water long buried in the earth, and these societies, being based on temporary resources, face the problem of being temporary themselves Picture Quote #1

Beyond reducing individual use, one of our top priorities must be to move from fossil fuels to energy that has fewer detrimental effects on water supplies and fewer environmental impacts overall Picture Quote #1

Prayer does not use up artificial energy, doesn’t burn up any fossil fuel, doesn’t pollute. Neither does song, neither does love, neither does the dance Picture Quote #1

The truth is, as most of us know, that global warming is real and humans are major contributors, mainly because we wastefully burn fossil fuels Picture Quote #1

Evolution could so easily be disproved if just a single fossil turned up in the wrong date order. Evolution has passed this test with flying colours Picture Quote #1

What we can be scientifically certain of is that our continued use of fossil fuels is pushing us to a point of no return Picture Quote #1

We can no longer continue feeding our addiction to fossil fuels as if there is no tomorrow. For there will be no tomorrow Picture Quote #1

Here’s what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in a state of denial, about to face cold turkey. And like so many addicts about to face cold turkey, our leaders are now committing violent crimes to get what little is left of what we’re hooked on Picture Quote #1

If we want to address global warming, along with the other environmental problems associated with our continued rush to burn our precious fossil fuels as quickly as possible, we must learn to use our resources more wisely, kick our addiction, and quickly start turning to sources of energy that have fewer negative impacts Picture Quote #1

Just as fossil fuels from conventional sources are finite and are becoming depleted, those from difficult sources will also run out. If we put all our energy and resources into continued fossil fuel extraction, we will have lost an opportunity to have invested in renewable energy Picture Quote #1

If evolution almost always occurs by rapid speciation in small, peripheral isolates, then what should the fossil record look like? We are not likely to detect the event of speciation itself. It happens too fast, in too small a group, isolated too far from the ancestral range Picture Quote #1

The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages between major transitions in organic design, indeed our inability, even in our imagination, to construct functional intermediates in many cases, has been a persistent and nagging problem for gradualist accounts of evolution Picture Quote #1

I know that nuclear is better than fossil fuels when it comes to carbon dioxide, but nuclear energy is by no means clean. We don’t know what to do with the waste we already have and it seems like a bad idea to me to make more when we have so many cleaner options such as wind and solar Picture Quote #1

Since 1850, burning of fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas has increased 100 times to produce energy as the world has industrialized to serve the world’s more than 6 billion and growing population Picture Quote #1

The sooner we get started with alternative energy sources and recognize that fossil fuels makes us less secure as a nation, and more dangerous as a planet, the better off we’ll be Picture Quote #1

Is it philosophical, is it quite allowable, to assume without evidence from fossil plants that the family or any of the genera was once larger and wide spread? And occupied a continuous area? Picture Quote #1

Now is the time for change. We cannot drill our way out of the energy crisis. The era of fossil fuels is over. We must invest in renewable energy. And we must not delay Picture Quote #1

There is hardly an activity that a person can think about that does not intrinsically involve energy, most of which is currently provided by fossil fuels Picture Quote #1

The earth is warming at an alarming rate, we are running out of fossil fuels, and it is long past time for us to take action to correct these problems Picture Quote #1

The 20th century was the time when the world turned to use of fossil fuels and the 21st century will be the century of the renewables Picture Quote #1

Anyone who would tackle our current addiction to fossil fuels is going to have to maneuver around denial Picture Quote #1

Even if we stop the growth, we’d still be adding a constant amount of fossil carbon to the atmosphere each year Picture Quote #1

Trusting your energy policy to the fossil fuel lobby is like trusting your health care system to the tobacco lobby Picture Quote #1
