Climate Change Quotes A-Z by Author |
The blunt truth about the politics of climate change is that no country will want
to sacrifice its economy in order to meet this challenge, but all economies know
that the only sensible long term way of developing is to do it on a sustainable
basis. Tony

We can debate this or that aspect of climate change, but the reality is that
most people now accept our climate is indeed subject to change as a result of
greenhouse gas emissions. Tony

Climate change should be seen as the greatest challenge to face man and treated
as a much bigger priority in the United Kingdom. Prince

Business is recognizing the role it can play in combatting climate change.
Thank God, is all I can say, for there is a desperately urgent need for business
to play that role. Your lobbying influence can be substantial, but together, united
and in large enough numbers it could prove decisive in turning the tide. Prince

The
worlds forests need to be seen for what they are.. giant global utilities,
providing essential services to humanity on a vast scale. Rainforests store carbon,
which is lost to the atmosphere when they burn, increasing global warming. The
life they support cleans the atmosphere of pollutants and feeds it with moisture.
They help regulate our climate and sustain the lives of some of the poorest people
on this Earth. Prince

I
think we're going to find, with climate change and everything else.. things like
global warming and goodness knows what else and the cost of fuel for a start..
that things are going to become very complicated. Prince

We should be treating, I think, the whole issue of climate

happening now. Prince

I drive a hybrid. Tipper and I got a Lexus hybrid. And we have a couple of Priuses
in the family with our children. And I encourage people to make environmentally

Climate change poses clear, catastrophic threats. We may not agree on the
extent, but we certainly can't afford the risk of inaction. Rupert

Becoming carbon neutral is only the beginning. The climate problem will not
be solved by one company reducing its emissions to zero, and it won't be solved
by one government acting alone. The climate problem will not be solved without
mass participation by the general public in countries around the globe. Rupert

Imagine if we succeed in inspiring our audiences to reduce their own impacts
on climate change by just one percent. That would be like turning the State of

We need to push ourselves to make as many reductions as possible in our own energy
use first.. and that takes time. But we must do this quickly.. the climate will
not wait for us. Rupert
Murdoch - Climate

Energy
Some of our businesses use more energy than others, but our
strategy everywhere is the same.. first, reduce our use of energy as much as possible.
Then, switch to renewable sources of power where it makes economic sense. And,
over time, as a last resort, offset the emissions we can't avoid. Rupert
Murdoch - Climate

We
could make a difference just by holding our emissions steady as our businesses
continue to grow. But that doesn't seem to be enough: we want to go all the way
to zero. Today, I am announcing our intention to be carbon neutral, across all
our businesses, by 2010. Rupert

We're
not a manufacturer, or an airline, but we do use energy. Printing and publishing
newspapers, producing films, broadcasting television signals, operating 24-hour
newsrooms. It all adds carbon to the atmosphere. Rupert

All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly
dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end
to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only
is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new
global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster. Barack

Today we're seeing that climate change is about more than a few unseasonably
mild winters or hot summers. It's about the chain of natural catastrophes and
devastating weather patterns that global warming is beginning to set off around
the world.. the frequency and intensity of which are breaking records thousands
of years old. Barack

The issue of climate change is one that we ignore at our own peril. There
may still be disputes about exactly how much we're contributing to the warming
of the earth's atmosphere and how much is naturally occurring, but what we can
be scientifically certain of is that our continued use of fossil fuels is pushing
us to a point of no return. And unless we free ourselves from a dependence on
these fossil fuels and chart a new course on energy in this country, we are condemning
future generations to global catastrophe. Barack

Mr
Howard's problem is for so long he's been a climate change sceptic, how can
he, therefore, put himself to the country as part of a climate change solution
for the future. Kevin

We
are upsetting the atmosphere upon which all life depends. In the late 80s when
I began to take climate change seriously, we referred to global warming as a "slowmotion
catastrophe" one we expected to kick in perhaps generations later. Instead,
the signs of change have accelerated alarmingly. David
