Now, here’s a good question: should serious people focus on global political instability - terrorism, failing states, nuclear weapons - or should we focus on global climate instability - droughts, floods, extreme weather?

The basic building block of peace and security for all peoples is economic and social security, anchored in sustainable development. It is a key to all problems. Why?

The problem is we have a Wall Street-to-Washington access of power that has controlled the political climate. The donor class feeds the political class who does the dance that the donor class wants. And the result is federal government keeps getting bigger (Climate Quotes)
Where there is a confluence of interests among nations, as, for example the swine flu or polio, you can get well functioning international institutions like the World Health Organization. And you can act. Climate change is different, because the science remains hypothetical and the potential costs staggering (Climate Quotes)
It’s estimated that about 30 percent of the increase in grain prices could be attributed to the decision to embrace biofuels, particularly corn-based ethanol. It has done nothing for climate change and the business is in real trouble now with the collapse of oil prices. It’s completely dependent on a dollar subsidy and tariff from the government (Climate Quotes)

That includes certain industrial interests, financial interests and political interests (Climate Quotes)
I was born in Brazil and grew up in the 70s under a climate of political distress, and I was forced to learn to communicate in a very specific way - in a sort of a semiotic black market.

A lot of times we associate Greenpeace and climate change and shrinking polar caps with heavy-handed, weighty material. It’s somber stuff. But with Funny Or Die we thought we could put an interesting take on it. Make it a little more palatable, especially for young people who tune into the website (Climate Quotes)
