~ Climate change poses clear, catastrophic threats. We may not agree on the extent, but we certainly can't afford the risk of inaction. ~ ~ Water and its availability and quality will be the main pressures on, and issues for, societies and the environment under climate change. ~ ~ The impact of climate change on agriculture could result in problems with food security and may threaten livelihood activities upon which much of the population depends. ~ ~ I consider the concept of a global mean temperature to be somewhat dubious. A single number cannot adequately capture climate change. This number, as I see it, is aimed mostly at politicians and journalists. ~ ~ Today we're seeing that climate change is about more than a few unseasonably mild winters or hot summers. It's about the chain of natural catastrophes and devastating weather patterns that global warming is beginning to set off around the world.. the frequency and intensity of which are breaking records thousands of years old. ~ ~ 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. ~ ~ Climate change is such a huge issue that it requires strong, concerted, consistent and enduring action by governments. ~ ~ Climate change is real. The science is compelling. And the longer we wait, the harder the problem will be to solve. ~ ~ I’m no longer sceptical. I no longer have any doubt at all. I think climate change is the major challenge facing the world. ~ ~ If you think mitigated climate change is expensive, try unmitigated climate change ~ ~ Ignoring climate change will be the most costly of all possible choices, for us and our children ~ ~ There is still time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, if we take strong action now. ~ ~ Climate change is the most severe problem that we are facing today, more serious even than the threat of terrorism. ~ ~ Not only is the Kyoto approach to global warming wrong-headed, the climate change establishment's suppression of dissent and criticism is little short of a scandal. The IPCC should be shut down… In Europe, where climate change absolutism is at its strongest, the quasi-religion of greenery in general and the climate change issue in particular have filled the vacuum of organised religion, with reasoned questioning of its mantras regarded as a form of blasphemy. ~ ~ 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. ~ ~ The issue of climate change is one that we ignore at our own peril. There may still be disputes about exactly how much we're contributing to the warming of the earth's atmosphere and how much is naturally occurring, but what we can be scientifically certain of is that our continued use of fossil fuels is pushing us to a point of no return. And unless we free ourselves from a dependence on these fossil fuels and chart a new course on energy in this country, we are condemning future generations to global catastrophe. ~ ~ First, I worry about climate change. It's the only thing that I believe has the power to fundamentally end the march of civilization as we know it, and make a lot of the other efforts that we're making irrelevant and impossible ~ ~ Climate change is so big that people who study it.. and many do.. need to speak to it. They must present scientific papers, they must appear in public, they must speak to the media and we must hear their voices. In order to get policy right, policymakers.. governments.. need to make decisions based on sound science. ~
