There are more effective ways of tackling environmental problems – including global warming, proliferation of plastics, urban sprawl, and the loss of biodiversity – than by treaties, top-down regulations, and other approaches offered by big governments and their dependents. (Preston Manning)
As long as I am chairman, [regulating global warming pollution] is off the table indefinitely. I don't want there to be any uncertainty about that. View quote
Joe Barton
Global warming science is uneven and evolving. View quote
Joe Barton
The main lesson for Europe and the world is clear: as a matter of urgency, globalization must be fundamentally re-oriented. The main challenges of our times are the rise in inequality and global warming. We must therefore implement international treaties enabling us to respond to these challenges and to promote a model for fair and sustainable development. Agreements of a new type can, if necessary, include measures aimed at facilitating these exchanges. But the question of liberalizing trade should no longer be the main focus. Trade must once again become a means in the service of higher ends. It never should have become anything other than that. View quote
Thomas Piketty
So, whether or not how dramatic this change will be, or is, what it's caused by, are things that honest people, I think, can disagree with, and I really personally, having been a journalist, the first thing I was always cautioned by when someone was claiming, well, everybody is on my side, or everybody says this, or there is a total consensus, almost always when people said that to me over my years as a journalist, it wasn't true. It was that there were honest people who disagreed and significant disagreement on such issues. We don't know what those other cycles were caused by in the past. Could be dinosaur flatulence, you know, or who knows? We do know the CO2 in the past had its time when it was greater as well. And what happened when the CO2 was greater since then and now? There have been many cycles of up and down warming. So with that said, I think that we've had a great discussion today. View quote
Dana Rohrabacher
If our nation wants to reduce global warming, air pollution and energy instability, we should invest only in the best energy options. Nuclear energy isn't one of them. View quote
Mark Z. Jacobson
Global warming is a fact. Now it's up to liberals to make it a reality. Hence there is crucial importance in preventing powerful, greedy free market forces from getting in the way of worsening storms and rising sea levels. The Kyoto Accord is a good first step. View quote
P. J. O'Rourke
I live in New Hampshire. We're in favor of global warming. Eleven hundred more feet of sea-level rises? I've got beachfront property. You tell us up there, 'By the end of the century, New York City could be underwater,' and we say, 'Your point is?' View quote
P. J. O'Rourke
I love the slow, warming sensation of my body going numb when I drink. View quote
Patricia Gaffney
Praise is warming and desirable. But it is an earned thing. It has to be deserved, like a hug from a child. View quote
Phyllis McGinley
As a planet, we are at risk of destruction (for example, gradually by the warming of the planet; or rapidly, by nuclear war or a pathogen that gets out of control). And these threats require us to work together, and not just to announce our diversity. (Howard Gardner)
Our globe is under new dramatic environmental pressure: our globe is warming, our ice caps melting, our glaciers receding, our coral is dying, our soils are eroding, our water tables falling, our fisheries are being depleted, our remaining rainforests shrinking. Something is very, very wrong with our eco-system. View quote
Richard Lamm
In global warming, I think everyone is scratching their heads - are there technological things that can be brought to bear that can make a difference? View quote
Paul Allen
I have a confession to make. When I came back to.... the beach at Trouville.... it seeemed nothing more than than a frightful masquerade.... If you have passed one month among the people condemned to hard work in the fields, with black bread and water, and you then find that gang of golden parasites with such a triumphant air, you can't help feeling a bit of pity.... Fortunately, dear friend, the Creator has spread a little of his splendid and warming light everywhere, and what I reproduce is not so much this world as the element that envelops it. View quote
Eugène Boudin
To control global warming, only one solution: stop burning fossil fuels. View quote
Jacques Dubochet
I believe global warming and climate change are real threats to our planet. View quote
Andrew Cuomo
Eighty per cent of global warming comes from livestock and deforestation. View quote
Heather Mills
It's up to people like us, all of us, to address and talk about things like runaway global warming and how we can use things like remote viewing to save our planet. View quote
Jim Sullivan
I do think that the standard media is controlled by the conventional wisdom about global warming. We've come to believe - from reading a lot of articles and talking to a lot of scientists - that there's another side to be heard. View quote
Steven D. Levitt
I think we should all be more concerned about the environment and the effects of global warming. It will be pointless to talk about all the issues that divide us when it's 300 degrees outside. View quote
Don Cheadle
Ocean acidification - the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that is turning the oceans increasingly acid - is a slow but accelerating impact with consequences that will greatly overshadow all the oil spills put together. The warming trend that is CO2-related will overshadow all the oil spills that have ever occurred put together. (Sylvia Earle)
Some experts look at global warming, increased world temperature, as the critical tipping point that is causing a crash in coral reef health around the world. And there's no question that it is a factor, but it's preceded by the loss of resilience and degradation. View quote
Sylvia Earle
Global warming, the ongoing destruction of the planet, Third World debt, the uselessness of the railways, the takeover by the corporations, the scary George Bush person: all these things are important and should be animating me into outrage. Yet somehow they do not. View quote
Arthur Smith
It is easier for a libertarian to attack the science of global warming than to alter one's core libertarian beliefs. View quote
Al Seckel
The most frightening interview I've ever done was with Dr. Lonnie Thompson of The Ohio State University on the subject of global warming. View quote
