Rush Holt would be a fine senator. He’s an actual physicist, which is neat. He cares very strongly about global warming, which is probably the single most pressing issue of our era. – Alex Pareene
Whether the process proves to be Kyoto or something else, let’s acknowledge the urgency of global warming. – Brian Mulroney
The second thing is, if you want to do something about global warming, you have to think much more long-term. There is something wrong with saying we should start using renewables now, while they are still incredibly expensive. – Bjorn Lomborg
I am convinced that policies meant to reduce alleged carbon dioxide-induced global warming will be destructive. – Christopher Monckton
My first inclination is to be a bit skeptical about the claims that human-produced carbon dioxide is the direct contributor to global warming. – Buzz Aldrin
There is universal consensus among experts that the earth’s atmosphere is heating up – and that we are responsible for it by putting carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We also know that the consequences of global warming are catastrophic. But how do we make sure that all countries reduce greenhouse gases? – Eric Maskin
I found the source of global warming is coming from the hot air coming out of Washington. – Matt Salmon
When the President was asked about global warming at a public appearance yesterday, he responded by talking about America’s addiction to oil. You make the connection. – Gwen Ifill
And we have a little herb garden, which survived the winter thanks to global warming. It makes me feel like a cool, old Italian housewife, that I kept my rosemary alive outside all winter. – Elizabeth Gilbert
Putting a tax on carbon could be an effective approach for curbing global warming pollution. – Frances Beinecke
Whether the ice caps melt, or expand – whatever happens – the anthropogenic global warming theorists claim it confirms their theory. A perfect example of a pseudo-science like astrology. – Frank Tipler
We’re very interested in seeing what science Exxon has been using for its own purposes because they’re tremendously active in offshore oil drilling in the Arctic, for example, where global warming is happening at a much more rapid rate than in more temperate zones. – Eric Schneiderman
Faced with the evidence, many deniers have started to admit that global warming is real, but argue that humans have little or nothing to do with it. – David Suzuki
Admittedly, I possess virtually no expertise in science. That puts me in exactly the same position as most dogmatic environmentalists who want to craft public policy around global warming fears. – David Harsanyi
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. – David Bailey
The biologists have essentially been pushed aside. Al Gore’s just an opportunist. The person who is really responsible for this overestimate of global warming is Jim Hansen. He consistently exaggerates all the dangers. – Freeman Dyson
And then of course, obviously as far as issues such as global warming, something has to be done on the corporate side, there has to be some mandate or some legislation. – Daryl Hannah
Very strong declarations were made by those countries who are most responsible for global warming… the United States and China, which undertook commitments towards changing the situation. – Francois Hollande
A property in the 100-year floodplain has a 96 percent chance of being flooded in the next hundred years without global warming. The fact that several years go by without a flood does not change that probability. – Earl Blumenauer
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? – Paul Allen
The trouble is that the hockey stick graph become an icon and deniers reckoned if they could smash the icon, the whole concept of global warming would be destroyed with it. – Michael E. Mann
The truth is, as most of us know, that global warming is real and humans are major contributors, mainly because we wastefully burn fossil fuels. – David Suzuki
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?’ – P. J. O’Rourke
Scientists have been warning about global warming for decades. It’s too late to stop it now, but we can lessen its severity and impacts. – David Suzuki
Many countries – as well as cities, states and provinces – are taking global warming seriously and are working to reduce emissions and shift to cleaner energy sources. – David Suzuki
Global warming is the foreboding thunder in the distance. Ocean acidification is the lightning strike in our front yard, right here, right now. – David Horsey
Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I’m flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes. – Debbie Stabenow
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. – Mark Z. Jacobson
Dealing with global warming doesn’t mean we have all got to suddenly stop breathing. Dealing with global warming means that we have to stop waste, and if you travel for no reason whatsoever, that is a waste. – David Attenborough
In a situation where many national leaders do the same thing and look out for national interests, and with an issue like global warming, you’re likely to get no solution, so I think you have to have some kind of ethical trump on some of those issues. – Peter Singer
