The blunt truth about the politics of climate change is that no country will want to sacrifice
its economy in order to meet this challenge, but all economies know that the
only sensible long term way of developing is to do it on a sustainable basis.
Tony Blair
I drive a hybrid. Tipper and I got a Lexus hybrid. And we have a couple of Priuses in the
family with our children. And I encourage people to make environmentally
conscious choices because we all have to solve this climate crisis.
Al Gore
Climate change poses clear, catastrophic threats. We may not agree on the extent,
but we certainly can't afford the risk of inaction.
Rupert Murdoch
All across the world, in every kind of environment and region known to man, increasingly dangerous weather patterns and devastating storms are abruptly putting an end to the long-running debate over whether or not climate change is real. Not only is it real, it's here, and its effects are giving rise to a frighteningly new global phenomenon: the man-made natural disaster.
Barack Obama
We are upsetting the atmosphere upon which all life depends. In the late 80s when I began to take climate change seriously, we referred to global warming as a "slowmotion catastrophe" one we expected to kick in perhaps generations later. Instead, the signs of change have accelerated alarmingly.
David Suzuki
The climate change problem is at its heart an ethical problem. It’s a problem of income distribution and it’s a problem of income distribution with dimensions that we don’t usually think about very much.
