Climate Quotes
-
The U.N. has brought peace and order to many places around the world. However, terrorism, violent extremism, violations of human rights, natural disasters caused by climate change - they all threaten the lives of people today. Add migration, insufficient health care, lack of education, and the picture gets even bleaker.
Miroslav Lajcak

Nobody can tell about this California climate. One minit its hot and the next minit its cold, so a person never knows what to hock.
Anita Loos

Where the Truth Lies rating has a lot more to do with the political climate in America today than it does with the film. It wouldn't have had this rating five years ago. There's nothing graphic in this film on screen; you can look at it, but you won't be able to see it, it's not there. There's nothing graphic sexually that's not about the story telling.
Rachel Blanchard

Forget hydrogen, forget hydrogen, forget hydrogen.
James Woolsey
-
I thought if the climate was heating that CO2 was the only forcing, and it would be late in the century before we had trouble. Now that we know about the other half of the forcing, it's obvious that the trouble is coming much sooner.
Paul R. Ehrlich
-
The soil is actually the greatest technology we have for adapting to climate change. And I feel it's our generation's duty to build it back up.
Jason Mraz
-
Quite frankly, there is no answer to climate change without substantially, dramatically, increasing the amount of renewable energy in the global energy system.
Christiana Figueres

The time has come for a public-private community partnership to fix this country and put it back to work.

The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Even if we can solve the carbon problem for coal, it is still a non-renewable resource. At some point, coal supplies will drop.
Van Jones
-
Attempts to estimate the impacts of climate change continue to be highly speculative.
William Nordhaus

The retreat of the Arctic sea ice, the warming of the oceans, the rapid shrinking of the glaciers, the redistribution of species, the thawing of the permafrost—these are all new phenomena. It is only in the last five or ten years that global warming has finally emerged from the background “noise” of climate variability. And even so, the changes that can be seen lag behind the changes that have been set in motion. The warming that has been observed so far is probably only about half the amount required to bring the planet back into energy balance. This means that even if carbon dioxide were to remain stable at today’s levels, temperatures would still continue to rise, glaciers to melt, and weather patterns to change for decades to come.
