There is no question that climate change is happening; the only arguable point is what part humans are playing in it.
- David Attenborough
For every expert that says humans are the cause of "climate change" there are 10 more who say we aren't.
- Bradley A Blakeman
All cities do face similar, significant trends in the future... most importantly global warming and climate change.
- Cate Blanchett
Climate change. Urbanization. Biotechnology. Those three narratives, still taking shape, are developing a long arc likely to dominate this century.
- Stewart Brand
In the U.S. I think there are really two reasons we should pursue energy policy. One is climate change, and the second is this notion that the oil market is cartel-ized by people, some of whom are friendly, some of whom are not, some of whom are in a more ambivalent position to us.
- Brad Carson
I think you could offer seven or eight different possible ends for energy policy. Climate change is one of them. Dealing with criteria pollutants is one of those related to that.
- Brad Carson
There are philosophical issues involved in that about choosing the right discount rate, the value, the future, and things like that which drive it. But its start with the premise that global warming is real and if you're a denier of that fact, then you're not going to find climate change mitigation policies to have particular appeal.
- Brad Carson
Often times when you face such an overwhelming challenge as global climate change, it can be somewhat daunting - it's kind of like trying to lose weight, which I know something about.
- Hillary Clinton
Like the canary in the coal mine, the climate changes already evident in the Arctic are a call to action.
- Susan Collins
My view is that climate changes have happened in the last 80 years, that is, the world has got a little bit warmer, although not as warm as it has been in Medieval times, or the Bronze Age.
- Piers Corbyn
I believe global warming and climate change are real threats to our planet.
- Andrew Cuomo
Even as I speak, the very last polar bear may be dying of hunger on account of climate change, on account of us. And I sure miss the polar bears. Their babies are so warm and cuddly and trusting, just like ours.
- Kurt Vonnegut
My dear colleague James Hansen, I believe, has finally gone off the deep end... The global warming 'time bomb,' 'disastrous climate changes that spiral dynamically out of humanity's control.' These are the words of an apocalyptic prophet, not a rational scientist.
- Nicholas Drapela
If we think of what's up ahead, with climate change and wars over water, it's very frightening.
- Carol Ann Duffy
One of the biggest obstacles to making a start on climate change is that it has become a cliche before it has even been understood
- Tim Flannery
As long as scepticism is based on a sound understanding of science it is invaluable, for that is how science progresses. But poor criticism can lead those who are unfamiliar with the science involved into doubting everything about climate change predictions.
- Tim Flannery
Being told about the effects of climate change is an appeal to our reason and to our desire to bring about change. But to see that Africans are the hardest hit by climate change, even though they generate almost no greenhouse gas, is a glaring injustice, which also triggers anger and outrage over those who seek to ignore it.
- Sigmar Gabriel
Climate change is also clearly a matter of huge interest and concern for the scientific community.
- Peter Garrett
Look, very clearly there are things that need to be done urgently in relation to climate change, and of those the most obvious is to have an enforceable and equitable arrangement delivering deep cuts in emissions into the middle of the century.
- Peter Garrett
Once you start to look into the guts of climate change you find that just about every scientific institution in the world is conducting research on the issue.
- Peter Garrett
And given that there's been probably a ten-fold amount of information about terrorism through the media than there has about climate change; I think that's quite an interesting statistic.
- Peter Garrett
The forces that are in play on climate change essentially revolve around the generation of power, the transportation of goods and services and people, and the sorts of materials that we use to fuel the whole of our civilisation.
- Peter Garrett
Climate change is such a huge issue that it requires strong, concerted, consistent and enduring action by governments.
- Peter Garrett
It's absolutely not acceptable for people to argue that, if we are going to do anything about climate change at all, well, the responsibility lies solely with the individual.
- Peter Garrett
Climate change is a terrible problem, and it absolutely needs to be solved. It deserves to be a huge priority.
- Bill Gates
As human beings, we are vulnerable to confusing the unprecedented with the improbable. In our everyday experience, if something has never happened before, we are generally safe in assuming it is not going to happen in the future, but the exceptions can kill you and climate change is one of those exceptions.
- Al Gore
What I worry about is climate change, because that would have untold effects that we can't even measure yet.
- Susan George
What happened to Haiti is a threat that could happen anywhere in the Caribbean to these island nations, you know, because of global warming, because of climate change and all this.
- Danny Glover
Beyond the borders of wealthy countries like the United States, in developing countries where most people in the world live, the impacts of climate change are much more deadly, from the growing desertification of Africa to the threats of rising sea levels and the submersion of small island nations.
- Amy Goodman
The U.S. news media have a critical role to play in educating the public about climate change.
- Amy Goodman
I have not made any suggestions about climate change. This is more about blending or shifting the conversation about the environment versus the economy. It's just such an old, outdated conversation.
- Jennifer M Granholm
I believe we should reframe our response to climate change as an imperative for growth rather than merely being a way of being green or meeting environmental commitments.
- William Hague
As far as I'm aware, everybody in the shadow cabinet accepts that there's a compelling case on climate change and a strong scientific case.
- William Hague
We have to face the reality of climate change. It is arguably the biggest threat we are facing today.
- William Hague
By eating meat we share the responsibility of climate change, the destruction of our forests, and the poisoning of our air and water. The simple act of becoming a vegetarian will make a difference in the health of our planet.
- Nhat Hanh
For nearly a century, the moral relativism of science has given faith-based religion--that great engine of ignorance and bigotry--a nearly uncontested claim to being the only universal framework for moral wisdom. As a result, the most powerful societies on early spend their time debating issues like gay marriage when they should be focused on problems like nuclear proliferation, genocide, energy security, climate change, poverty, and failing schools.
- Sam Harris
Given that, and assuming that we begin to adjust to issues like climate change and the greenhouse effect, Denver's location in the center of the country becomes a tremendous advantage.
- John Hickenlooper
Once again we have misleading climate change pronouncements being based on data errors, data errors detected by non-UN, non-IPCC, non-peer-reviewed external observers. This is exactly what happens when you base your arguments on 'consensus science' and not scientific fact.
- Doug Hoffman
The most important thing about global warming is this. Whether humans are responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists, but it's all of our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than we found it.
- Mike Huckabee
Instead of sitting on the sidelines, President Obama has made it clear that the US is ready to lead a global effort to combat climate change.
- Valerie Jarrett
China has adopted and is implementing its national climate change program. This includes mandatory national targets for reducing energy intensity and discharge of major pollutants and increasing forest coverage and the share of renewable energy for the period of 2005 through 2010.
- Hu Jintao
Global climate change has a profound impact on the survival and development of mankind. It is a major challenge facing all countries.
- Hu Jintao
Developed countries should support developing countries in tackling climate change. This not only is their responsibility, but also serves their long-term interests.
- Hu Jintao
In fact, even the current administration now is releasing recent reports indicating that climate change is real, that global warming is occurring, that it is heavily influenced by man-made objects and that it is something we cannot ignore any longer.
- Ron Kind
Nevertheless, there is another threat on the horizon. I see this threat in environmentalism which is becoming a new dominant ideology, if not a religion. Its main weapon is raising the alarm and predicting the human life endangering climate change based on man-made global warming.
- Vaclav Klaus
I believe the anthropogenic effect for climate change is still only one of the hypotheses to explain the variability of climate.
- Kanya Kusano
There are great challenges before you, from the overwhelming nature of climate change to the unfairness of an economy that excludes so many from our collective wealth, and the changes necessary to build a more inclusive and generous Canada. I believe in you.
- Jack Layton
Yet, despite our many advances, our environment is still threatened by a range of problems, including global climate change, energy dependence on unsustainable fossil fuels, and loss of biodiversity.
- Dan Lipinski
We want to promote people-to-people exchanges so that China and the United States can really join together, not just to solve the problems of China or the United States, but some of the big problems facing the entire world. From climate change to famine to even terrorism.
- Gary Locke
Some people call it global warming; some people call it climate change. What is the difference?
- Frank Luntz
Public discourse has been polluted now for decades by corporate-funded disinformation - not just with climate change but with a host of health, environmental and societal threats. The implications for the planet are grim.
- Michael E Mann
George W. cares as much about climate change as you would expect from a Texas oilman.
- Donella Meadows
The European nations take climate change very seriously.
- Donella Meadows
Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.
- Bill Nye
There are plenty of problems in the world, and doubtless climate change - or whatever the currently voguish phrase for it all is - certainly is one of them. But it's low on my list.
- P J Orourke
It appears that President Obama is making great progress on climate change, he is changing the political climate in the country back to Republican.
- Tim Pawlenty
The impact of climate change is a tremendous risk to the security and well-being of our countries.
- Nancy Pelosi
To be clear, climate change is a true 800 pound gorilla in the room. The effects of global warming threaten global environmental upheaval over the coming century. But for South Florida and the Everglades, it could be our death knell if urgent action is not taken.
- Debbie Wasserman Schultz
The six to eight black men were characterized as personal slaves until the mid-1950s, when the political climate changed and it was decided that instead of being slaves they were just good friends.
- David Sedaris
Believe it or not, very little research has ever been funded to search for natural mechanisms of warming... it has simply been assumed that global warming is manmade. Climate change - it happens, with or without our help.
- Roy Spencer
One thing we do know about the threat of climate change is that the cost of adjustment only grows the longer it's left unaddressed.
- Jay Weatherill
Homes and buildings, many of which are old and drafty, eat up 40 percent of the energy America uses. Such inefficiencies perpetuate our reliance on foreign oil, imperiling our national security and increasing our contribution to climate change.
- Peter Welch
The irony here is this administration is spending more money on climate change research and development than any administration in all the rest of the industrialized world combined.
- Christine Todd Whitman
The next four years, there won't be a week that goes by without a discussion of climate change. It's a naturally Conservative issue.
- Tim Yeo
