Climate Quotes
-
Since Serengeti-scale savanna scenes are only one or two million years old, our earliest after-the-apes ancestors didn't move into this scene so much as they evolved with it, as the slower climate changes and uplift produced more grass and less forest.
William H. Calvin -
And I think most people in this country want to see a president that's got the courage to say we're going to cut the tax burden, and reduce the regulatory climate, and we're going to get Americans working.
Rick Perry
-
People going from Southern Italy to the North say that they feel cold not only for the different climate, but for the less "warm" approach in relationships.
Geert Hofstede -
We need to keep switching up the language around climate change.
Cate Blanchett -
The rain whispered down, soft as the touch of cobwebs, shrouding the green of the land in swathes of clinging grey. Maude had grown accustomed to the damp climate, to the clouds that constantly swept in, heavy and moist, off the Irish Sea. She had become used to hearing the soft, guttural tongue of the native Gaels in place of French and the stretched vowels of the English; to feeling as if she was living on the edge of the world, where the seasons moved, but time stood still. And always it rained.
Elizabeth Chadwick -
Climate has always changed year on year and is unstoppable as a phenomenon. I am sceptical of the evidence being presented as fact and do NOT believe that the interference by Government will have much affect on changing temperatures or rainfall. Indeed as a gardener in the West of Scotland I look forward to warmer temperatures and more rain so will be doing nothing as an individual that can in any event be seen as tokenism to a perceived problem.
Brian Donohoe -
Statements about climate trends must be based on, er, trends. Not individual events or occurrences. Weather is not climate, and anecdotes are not statistics.
Chris Mooney -
Meanwhile, to consolidate a climate of benevolence, I tried to return to normal activities, like a sick person who has been in the hospital for a long time and, partly to overcome the fear of falling ill again, wants to reanchor himself to the life of the healthy.
Elena Ferrante
-
The most effective solution is to vote! Vote the climate-change-deniers out of office. Then, for John Q. Public, it's all about energy conservation: use less, because most of what we're consuming is from fossilized carbon!
Wesley K. Wark -
If what the science tells us about climate change is correct, then unabated it will result in catastrophic consequences for our world.
Tony Blair -
It is our responsibility to help wildlife adapt to a changing climate.
Nikhil Advani -
The climate system is constantly readjusting naturally in a large way - more than we would ever see from CO2. The CO2 kick [impact of CO2 emissions] is extremely small compared to what is happening in a natural way. Within the framework of a proper study of the sun-climate connection, you don't need CO2 to explain anything.
Willie Soon -
Finding mechanisms for putting carbon back into landscapes enhances biodiversity. More biodiverse ecosystems store more carbon, more securely and are more resilient to the impacts of climate change.
Will Steffen -
Climate protection creates sustainability and jobs in the real economy - in construction, in the production of heavy machinery and in systems engineering.
Sigmar Gabriel
-
I know there is pressure to present a nice tidy story as regards 'apparent unprecedented warming in a thousand years or more in the proxy data' but in reality the situation is no quite so simple.
Keith Briffa -
Our CO2 mixes with everyone else's within a year, then hangs around for centuries like a shroud.
William H. Calvin -
Even if we stop the growth, we'd still be adding a constant amount of fossil carbon to the atmosphere each year.
William H. Calvin -
NASA should be at the forefront in the collection of scientific evidence and debunking the current hysteria over human-caused, or Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW). Unfortunately, it is becoming just another agency caught up in the politics of global warming, or worse, politicized science.
Walter Cunningham -
Probably my mother's life was prolonged beyond that of a long-lived family by her coming to Australia in middle life; and if I ever had any tendency to consumption, the climate must have helped me.
Catherine Helen Spence -
Countries that innovate first get the new jobs, developing an economic edge over the C-free laggards that end up having to later import the technology.
William H. Calvin
-
Climate change is crap.
Tony Abbott -
I get to be the mayor of the capital city of the most polluting state of the most polluting country on the planet. ... I see truly a non-carbon economy. It's cleaner. It's healthier. We're about out of alternatives, so it's going to be easier and more cost effective to start to do the right thing.
Will Wynn -
All things are possible, once enough human beings realize that everything is at stake.
Norman Cousins -
Truth, like climate, is common property.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward
