Carbon Dioxide Emissions Quotes A-Z by Author |
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
Blair - Environmental

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.

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.

There is not going to be, we can be quite
certain, there’s not going to be any
action on reducing greenhouse gas emissions
by China or India or Indonesia or Brazil
unless all developed countries are making
a major effort. It will still be a big job
to get them in, even if we are all making
the effort. But our making the effort is
a necessary condition.

Carbon capture and storage, its commercial
development.. is going to be the key to
the future of coal. If it is successful
commercially, then the Australian coal sector
will be a center of prosperity and growth;
if it’s not successful then it won’t
be. I think in the long run it’s as
simple as that.

There are many who still do not believe
that global warming is a problem at all.
And it's no wonder: because they are the
targets of a massive and well-organized
campaign of disinformation lavishly funded
by polluters who are determined to prevent
any action to reduce the greenhouse gas
emissions that cause global warming out
of a fear that their profits might be affected
if they had to stop dumping so much pollution
into the atmosphere.

By using vertical space more effectively,
you not only make more room for greenery
but shorter commutes also mean less pressure
on CO2 emission problems and by freeing
up time now spent on unproductive commuter
trains, people would have more options in
their lives.

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.

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 want a national emissions trading scheme,
the Government does not and has rejected
one for years. We want to boost the mandatory
renewable energies target, the Government
has failed to do that. We want a national
demand side management strategy for the
country to reduce electricity consumption
and the Government, up until now, has done
very little on that score.
