Carbon Quotes

The automotive X Prize, to a great degree, is focused on addressing petroleum usage and carbon emissions Picture Quote #1

There is a majority of scientists that say that global carbon emissions by humans causes some changes in the climate Picture Quote #1

The promise of energy savings, reduced carbon emissions and affordable lighting was there from the inception. The proliferation of the technology into areas such as displays, automotive, medicine and horticulture was unexpected Picture Quote #1

If Britain was to close down altogether overnight, then China would take up the slack of carbon emissions in two years. If America closed down, just the growth in China’s emissions would replace America’s emissions in 12 years Picture Quote #1

The best way to deal with climate change has been obvious for years: cut greenhouse-gas emissions severely. We haven’t done that. In 2010, for example, carbon emissions rose by six per cent - the largest such increase on record Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There are some that feel like human activity is the cause for carbon emissions, and because of that, we need to revert to where we were in the 1870s for carbon emissions. I just choose to disagree with that Picture Quote #1

The annual output of carbon emissions is 25 billion tonnes and Global Cool’s goal is to reduce it by one billion tonnes a year Picture Quote #1

The policies being promoted are insane... If you believe energy poverty is a good thing, you should support controls on carbon emissions. But most of the world disagrees with that Picture Quote #1

Ozone and climate are global issues, and it’s hard to find a way in which the benefits of shutting down carbon emissions are going to pay for themselves for any given power-plant, say Picture Quote #1

Carbon-free energy is simply something we have to do. The time for talk is past. If we turn around net carbon emissions by 2020 rather than 2040, we get another 2Ã‚Â° of fever rather than 3Ã‚Â° - and that’s a big difference Picture Quote #1

The largest source of greenhouse gases in the coming decades will not be the US, Western Europe and Japan, but the developing economies of East Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. The coming eruption of carbon emissions from the poor world will dwarf any reductions in the North Picture Quote #1

Shipping is the greenest method of transport. In terms of carbon emissions per ton per mile, it emits about a thousandth of aviation and about a tenth of trucking. But it’s not benign, because there’s so much of it. So shipping emissions are about three to four percent, almost the same as aviation’s Picture Quote #1

I don’t think any Australian will ever forget, there will never be a Carbon Tax under a government I lead Picture Quote #1

Carbon tax has the advantage of basically being able to subsidize one set of activities that you want with another set of activities that you don’t want. It’s like a cigarette tax Picture Quote #1

Coal is the moral choice, particularly for the developing world... The model for the world right now should be Australia. Australia gets it. Scientifically they get it, politically they get it and particularly when it comes to the United Nations, they get it. They are pulling out of this, they are repealing their carbon tax and Canada seems to be intrigued by what Australia is doing Picture Quote #1

It may be that the carbon tax is the final chapter in the strange death of Labor Australia Picture Quote #1

If you had a carbon tax, you’d have less cars and more bicycles, more people getting around on foot and by public transport Picture Quote #1

Scratch the surface at conservative think tanks and universities that house free-market economists, and it’s not hard to find proponents of a carbon tax Picture Quote #1

Ultimate success for a carbon tax would mean so complete a shift to renewable energy that the tax would stop raising much revenue at all Picture Quote #1

Anything to do with any new form of tax, like consumption tax in Japan, carbon tax in Australia, these are big issues that cannot be easily decided Picture Quote #1

Some argue that now isn’t the time to push the green agenda - that all efforts should be on preventing a serious recession. That is a false choice. It fails to recognise that climate change and our carbon reliance is part of problem - high fuel prices and food shortages due to poor crop yields compound today’s financial difficulties Picture Quote #1

Carbon negative power plants can provide energy while they overcome poverty and change economic values in the right direction Picture Quote #1

I’ve done everything I can as a United States Senator to educate myself on the carbon issue and the climate change issue Picture Quote #1

[The Clean Power Plan] is an important step toward curbing carbon pollution and addressing climate change Picture Quote #1

Man - life in general - seems irrelevant to the workings of the universe: a mere smudge of water, grease, and carbon on a pinpoint planet circling a star of no special consequence Picture Quote #1

Money spent on carbon cuts is money we can’t use for effective investments in food aid, micronutrients, HIV/AIDS prevention, health and education infrastructure, and clean water and sanitation Picture Quote #1

If other countries don’t impose a cost on carbon, then we will be at a disadvantage...we would look at considering perhaps duties that would offset that cost Picture Quote #1

The climate’s sensitivity to greenhouse gases is considerably lower than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change claims - so much lower, in fact, that the warming we would expect from doubling the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would be quite modest and offer very little risk Picture Quote #1

They wish the church could be more diverse, but then leave to meet in a coffee shop with other well-educated thirtysomethings who are into film festivals, NPR, and carbon offsets Picture Quote #1
