If people fear that they have to choose between their job or fixing the climate, they will always protect their job. Because that's how they live to see tomorrow.
I do [believe climate change is man-made].
You should never even ask if a campaign is winnable, because the question is not answerable. No-one can predict the course of the future. Time and time again I have seen completely unforeseeable shifts in the tide of events that result in campaign victory.
Responding to climate change will become the obsession of the next decade in much the same way terrorism was this decade's obsession.
Absent the rapid mobilization of climate advocates at every level - and the pooling of all their energy, creativity, and resources into a coordinated, no-holds-barred campaign - we will soon be crossing the threshold into climate hell.
We need to do as much as we can from every direction or we will surpass that two-degree climate increase. Actually, the science is showing we are already en route to surpassing two degrees.
The ocean is the grand vehicle of trade, and the uniter of distant nations. To us it is peculiarly kind, not only as it wafts into our ports the harvests of every climate, and renders our island the centre of traffic, but also as it secures us from foreign invasion by a sort of impregnable intrenchment.
We have emails from donors. We got thousands and thousands of emails here that have been leaked and dumped, and I can't find any reference to climate change.
I used to be a lot more afraid of climate change. Now I spend my time working, planning, trying to move forward.
Stopping emissions growth represents the most minimal of do-something responses.
Yet, despite our many advances, our environment is still threatened by a range of problems, including global climate change, energy dependence on unsustainable fossil fuels, and loss of biodiversity.
Computer modelling for weather forecasting, and indeed for climate forecasting, has reached its limits.
I joined the Safe Climate Caucus because I believe in leaving a safer planet for future generations.
The urgency derives from the nearness of climate tipping points.
I think that some of it is electoral - helping candidates that are willing to take dramatic actions, not just to say a few words about how climate change might be a problem.
Climate action is central for the future of our planet.
In fact, climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism.
Don't ask what global climate protection can do for your country; ask what your country can do for climate protection.
Ghosts, we hope, may be always with us - that is, never too far out of the reach of fancy. On the whole, it would seem they adapt themselves well, perhaps better than we do, to changing world conditions - they enlarge their domain, shift their hold on our nerves, and, dispossessed of one habitat, set up house in another. The universal battiness of our century looks like providing them with a propitious climate.
To date, no convincing evidence for AGW (anthropogenic global warming) has been discovered. And recent global climate behavior is not consistent with AGW model predictions.
