Climate Change Quotes A-Z by Author |
I think it is manmade. I think it's clearly
manmade. If you don't understand what the
cause is, it's virtually impossible to come
up with a solution. We know what the cause
is. The cause is manmade. That's the cause.
That's why the polar icecap is melting.

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.

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.

Climate change should be seen as the greatest

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.

The
world’s 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.

It is a simple fact of life on earth that
there is going to be no successful mitigation
of the climate change problem without a
truly global effort. All developing companies
or all major developing countries have to
be part of that and accept substantial constraints
on greenhouse gas emissions.

The climate change problem is at its heart
an ethical problem. It’s a problem

A revolution in humanity’s use of fossil
fuel-based energy would be necessary sooner
or later to sustain and to extend modern
standards of living. It will be required
sooner if we are to hold the risks of climate
change to acceptable levels. The costs that
we bear in making an early adjustment will
bring forward, and reduce for future times,
the costs of the inevitable eventual adjustment
away from fossil fuels.

The international equity question arises
from the costs of climate change itself
and mitigation varying greatly across countries.
It is affected by the historical responsibility
for current greenhouse gas emissions, which
countries which were not responsible for
what’s in the atmosphere now think
are very important. Currently rich countries
don’t think those issues are very important.

Every climate scientist has his or her own
views on some issues that differ from the
mainstream in detail. But the broad findings
of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change) have general support amongst
scientists with relevant specialist expertise.
The broad wisdom of the IPCC is strongly
contested by a small number, and a small
minority, of reputed climate scientists.
It is not contested by the large majority
of specialists, and by the leaders of the
relevant learned academies in the countries
of great scientific accomplishment.

I see myself as a climate change skeptic
and a skeptic looks at the evidence and
bases conclusions on the evidence rather
than on belief. To hold the view that this
is not an issue that you need to do something
about, to hold the view that it’s all
a furphy takes belief.

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.

Imagine if we succeed in inspiring our audiences to reduce their own impacts

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.

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.

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.

We're

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.

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.

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.

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.
