Ignorance Quotes A-Z by Author |
We can drift along as though there were
still a cold war, wasting hundreds of billions
of dollars on weapons that will never be
used, ignoring the problems of people in
this country and around the world, being
one of the worst environmental violators
on earth, standing against any sort of viable
programs to protect the world's forests
or to cut down on acid rain or the global
warming or ozone depletion. We can ignore
human rights violations in other countries,
or we can take these things on as true leaders
ought to and accept the inspiring challenge
of America for the future.

It has often and confidently been asserted,
that man's origin can never be known: Ignorance
more frequently begets confidence than does
knowledge: it is those who know little,
not those who know much, who so positively
assert that this or that problem will never
be solved by science.

With savages, the weak in body or mind are
soon eliminated; and those that survive
commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health.
We civilized men, on the other hand, do
our utmost to check the process of elimination;
we build asylums for the imbecile, the maimed,
and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and
our medical men exert their utmost skill
to save the life of every one to the last
moment. There is reason to believe that
vaccination has preserved thousands, who
from a weak constitution would formerly
have succumbed to smallpox. Thus the weak
members of civilized societies propagate
their kind. No one who has attended to the
breeding of domestic animals will doubt
that this must be highly injurious to the
race of man. It is surprising how soon a
want of care, or care wrongly directed,
leads to the degeneration of a domestic
race; but excepting in the case of man himself,
hardly any one is so ignorant as to allow
his worst animals to breed.

Economic development over the past two centuries
has taken most of humanity from lives that
were brutal, ignorant and short, to personal
health and security, material comfort and
knowledge that were unknown to the elites
of the wealthiest and most powerful societies
in earlier times.

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.

It is a mistake always to contemplate the
good and ignore the evil, because by making
people neglectful it lets in disaster. There
is a dangerous optimism of ignorance and
indifference.

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.
