“I think that once people understand the great risks that climate change poses, they will naturally want to choose products and services that cause little or no emissions of greenhouse gases, which means 'low-carbon consumption.' This will apply across the board, including electricity, heating, transport and food.” PeopleThinkingWantMeanLittlesCausesRiskProductsLowsClimateClimate ChangeIncludingBoardsConsumptionElectricityCarbonTransportEmissionsGreenhousesGreenhouse GasesGreat RiskHeating Author:Nicholas Stern
“The basic scientific conclusions on climate change are very robust and for good reason. The greenhouse effect is simple science: greenhouse gases trap heat, and humans are emitting ever more greenhouse gases.” HumansReasonSimpleEffectsClimateClimate ChangeConclusionHeatTrapsRobustGreenhousesGreenhouse Gases Book:The Global Deal: Climate Change and the Creation of a New Era of Progress and Prosperity Source: The Global Deal: Climate Change and the Creation of a New Era of Progress and Prosperity

“We run enormous risks and we know what kind of reductions of greenhouse gases are necessary to drastically reduce risks. Reducing emissions by half by 2050 is roughly in the right ballpark. It would bring us below 550 ppm.” KnowsKindRunningHalfRiskEnormousReducingReductionEmissionsGreenhousesGreenhouse GasesBallparks Author:Nicholas Stern
