Global Quotes

The world is on fire! Why am I sitting in front of my computer? It is because I don’t have a fire extinguisher for the world, and there isn’t a global 911 to call Picture Quote #1

If you step back from it and really think about what the mass media does on a global scale, the most significant thing it does is coordinate behaviour Picture Quote #1

A global human society, characterised by islands of wealth, surrounded by a sea of poverty, is unsustainable Picture Quote #1

It is evident that many wars are fought over resources which are now becoming increasingly scarce. If we conserved our resources better, fighting over them would not then occur…so, protecting the global environment is directly related to securing peace…those of us who understand the complex concept of the environment have the burden to act. We must not tire, we must not give up, we must persist Picture Quote #1

If I could have just 1 per cent of the money spent on global armaments, no one in this world would go to bed hungry Picture Quote #1

If you ask what you are going to do about global warming, the only rational answer is to change the way in which we do transportation, energy production, agriculture and a good deal of manufacturing. The problem originates in human activity in the form of the production of goods Picture Quote #1

I’ve been producing documentaries on global warming for 20 years and have seen the early warnings of extreme weather events come true Picture Quote #1

The only thing that will really change global warming in the long run is if we radically increase the speed with which we get alternative technologies to deal with climate change 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

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 Picture Quote #1

Environmentalists have been outspoken in their support of smaller family size and abortion rights as keys to reducing global warming. But when it comes to immigration, the single biggest contributor to population growth in the industrial world, they stand largely silent Picture Quote #1

Scientists will say we can’t blame global warming for any single event. In a sense that’s right, but the fact that the frequency and intensity of these events is increasing you can blame on global warming Picture Quote #1

The question of whether or to what extent human activities are causing global warming is not a matter of ideology, let alone of belief. The issue is simply one of risk management Picture Quote #1

We live in a world where there are a hell of a lot of new inputs that need to be factored in to your business. It used to be just about your employees and your customers. Now there are all the issues about global warming, about sustainability, about ethics and now about gender and the distribution of wealth Picture Quote #1

For most of recorded history, parental violence against children and men’s violence against wives was explicitly or implicitly condoned. Those who had the power to prevent and/or punish this violence through religion, law, or custom, openly or tacitly approved it..... The reason violence against women and children is finally out in the open is that activists have brought it to global attention Picture Quote #1

People tend to focus on the here and now. The problem is that, once global warming is something that most people can feel in the course of their daily lives, it will be too late to prevent much larger, potentially catastrophic changes Picture Quote #1

The big damages come if the climate sensitivity to greenhouse gases turns out to be high causing greater global warming than current projections. Then it’s not a bullet headed at us, but a thermonuclear warhead Picture Quote #1

We are about half a century away from being ecologically and economically bankrupt because of global warming Picture Quote #1

And you know, talk about something else is falling from the sky. And that is an asteroid. What’s coming our way? Is this an effect of perhaps global warming or just some meteoric occasion? Picture Quote #1

Poverty cannot be accepted as a pretext and justification for the exploitation of children. It does not explain the huge global demand with, in many instances, customers from rich countries circumventing their national laws to exploit children in other countries. Sex tourism has spread its illicit wings wide, and paedophiles search for their victims in all parts of the globe. The problem is compounded by the criminal networks which benefit from the trade in children, and by collusion and corruption in many national settings Picture Quote #1

Nuclear power as a solution to global warming is theoretically possible, but the proliferation problems and accident risks it would create would, I think, be intolerable because you have to build an immense number of nuclear power plants, one large plant a week around the world for the next 40 years, to make a significant dent in the global warming problem Picture Quote #1

Critics of the global warming agenda are motivated... by a love of freedom and civil liberties. They want a discussion based on logic and facts that will address any problems without depriving us of liberty and personal choice. They do not want to sacrifice our way of life based on fears of an unproven theory. After all, the loss of liberty is a greater cause of alarm than global warming Picture Quote #1

Trends in fashion, design and pop culture are taking on more global influence, and of course, one thing that’s always in style is color Picture Quote #1

Have we failed to slow global warming pollution in part because climate and environmental activists have been too polite and well behaved? Picture Quote #1

If we look to the future, when we talk about outsourcing jobs, when we talk about global competitiveness and our efficiency, none of that matters very much unless we have appropriate training and education for our young people today who are the workforce of tomorrow. It is an economic reality, and we are failing Picture Quote #1

Visionaries have the unique ability to dream of what’s possible and then make it a reality. We are excited to watch these visionaries use technology to help students develop skills in collaboration, critical thinking and teamwork that they’ll need to compete in the global economy Picture Quote #1

Today’s new climate policy is like delivering the final divorce papers to the public and the world,... And it is divorced from the reality of global warming Picture Quote #1

Global climate change has a profound impact on the survival and development of mankind. It is a major challenge facing all countries Picture Quote #1

It is my personality alone that has brought back the waltz and made it a global craze Picture Quote #1

For the last 16 years, temperatures have been going down and the carbon dioxide has been going up and the crops have got greener and grow quicker. We’ve done plenty to smash up the planet, but there’s been no global warming caused by man Picture Quote #1
