Warming Quotes - page 8

I've been producing documentaries on global warming for 20 years and have seen the early warnings of extreme weather events come true. (Bill Kurtis)
The only thing that will really change global warming in the long run is if we radically increase the speed with which we get alternative technologies to deal with climate change. View quote
Bjorn Lomborg
Global warming is real - it is man-made and it is an important problem. But it is not the end of the world. View quote
Bjorn Lomborg
If every country committed to spending 0.05 per cent of GDP on researching non-carbon-emitting energy technologies, that would cost $25 billion a year, and it would do a lot more than massive carbon cuts to fight warming and save lives. View quote
Bjorn Lomborg
I think Al Gore has done a great service in making global warming cool. He's basically taken it from a nerdy, almost ignored issue to making it what it is - namely, a problem. View quote
Bjorn Lomborg
There is no question that global warming will have a significant impact on already existing problems such as malaria, malnutrition, and water shortages. But this doesn't mean the best way to solve them is to cut carbon emissions. View quote
Bjorn Lomborg
On the environmental front there's concern about global warming and high levels of carbon dioxide, and trees take in CO2 and store carbon. View quote
Clive Anderson
I don't think global warming is to do with us, I think it's a natural circle. I don't think a few Ferraris make that much difference. View quote
David Bailey
Forget about whether global warming exists. My focus is on jobs. View quote
Debbie Stabenow
Obama sounded like Al Gore on global warming. The more the case for man-made warming falls apart, the more hysterical Gore gets about an imminent catastrophe. The more public support his stimulus bill loses, the more Obama embraces fear-mongering. View quote
Fred Barnes
Former vice president Al Gore has devoted his post-administration years to a mission to tell the world about global warming. It's funny, but in his civilian life Gore has discovered the voice that voters had trouble hearing when he ran for president in 2000. The voice he has found is clear, impassioned, and moving. (Graydon Carter)
Several times in Earth's history, rapid global warming occurred, apparently spurred by amplifying feedbacks. In each case, more than half of plant and animal species became extinct. New species came into being over tens and hundreds of thousands of years. But these are time scales and generations that we cannot imagine. View quote
James Hansen
Recent warming coincides with rapid growth of human-made greenhouse gases. The observed rapid warming gives urgency to discussions about how to slow greenhouse gas emissions. View quote
James Hansen
Scientists will say we can't blame global warming for any single event. In a sense that's right, but the fact that the frequency and intensity of these events is increasing you can blame on global warming. View quote
James Hansen
You think the weather is weird now? Just wait. A new MIT study, just published in a peer-reviewed journal, projects that the Earth could see warming of more than 9 degrees F by 2100 - more than twice earlier projections. View quote
Jeff Goodell
Bill Gates is a relative newcomer to the fight against global warming, but he's already shifting the debate over climate change. View quote
Jeff Goodell
When it comes to global warming, coal is the gorilla in the room. View quote
Jeff Goodell
It's not all Obama's fault: His plans to rebuild America's energy infrastructure have been hampered by the recession, and his efforts on global warming have been stymied by Tea Party wackos and weak-kneed Democrats in Congress. View quote
Jeff Goodell
Geoengineering - the deliberate, large-scale manipulation of the earth's climate to offset global warming - is a nightmare fix for climate change. View quote
Jeff Goodell
With nine degrees of warming, computer models project that Australia will look like a disaster movie. Habitats for most vertebrates will vanish. Water supply to the Murray-Darling Basin will fall by half, severely curtailing food production. View quote
Jeff Goodell
Climate scientists have long pointed to the Southwest as one of the places in the U.S. that is most vulnerable to global warming impacts, especially drought. And if there's one thing that even climate denialists don't dispute, dry things burn. (Jeff Goodell)
I don't like the term 'global warming,' because it's misleading. It implies something that's mainly about temperature, that's gradual, and that's uniform across the planet. And in fact, temperature is only one of the things that's changing. View quote
John Holdren
As a scientist, my attention became totally focused on global warming some 15 years ago by the elegant and powerful measurements of carbon dioxide trapped in ice cores taken as much as 2 miles deep from the great East Antarctica ice sheet. View quote
John Olver
As this body of knowledge has evolved, a much more critical job for researchers and scientists has evolved into explaining and educating policy makers and the public to the risks of global warming and the possible consequences of action or of no action. View quote
John Olver
The war and terrorism in the Middle East, the crisis of leadership in many of the oil-supply countries in the developing world, the crisis of global warming - all these are very clearly tied to energy. View quote
