“Congress has always had a soft spot for "experts" who tell members what they want to hear, whether it's supply-side economists declaring that tax cuts increase revenue or climate-change skeptics insisting that global warming is a myth.” WantSidesCuttingTaxesMembersIncreaseClimateClimate ChangeCongressMythSpotsExpertsGlobal WarmingEconomistRevenueSkepticTax CutsDeclaringInsisting Author:Paul Krugman
“I don't mean to imply that we are in imminent danger of being wiped off the face of the earth - at least, not on account of global warming. But climate change does confront us with profound new realities. We face these new realities as a nation, as members of the world community, as consumers, as producers, and as investors. And unless we do a better job of adjusting to these new realities, we will pay a heavy price. We may not suffer the fate of the dinosaurs. But there will be a toll on our environment and on our economy, and the toll will rise higher with each new generation.” WorldMayMeanDoeRealityEarthJobsFacesSufferingNationsCommunityPayEconomyEnvironmentFateGenerationsDangerHigherMembersAccountsProfoundClimateClimate ChangeHeavyProducersConsumersGlobal WarmingInvestorsOur EnvironmentDinosaursNew GenerationTollsBetter JobsAdjusting Author:Eileen Claussen

“We must act now and wake up to our moral obligations. The poor and vulnerable are members of God's family and are the most severely affected by droughts, high temperatures, the flooding of coastal cities, and more severe and unpredictable weather events resulting from climate change. We, who should have been responsible stewards preserving our vulnerable, fragile planet home, have been wantonly wasteful through our reckless consumerism, devouring irreplaceable natural resources.” ShouldHas BeensHomeNaturalPoorCitiesMoralEventsPlanetsMembersResourcesShould HaveWake UpResponsibleClimateEnvironmentalClimate ChangeObligationWeatherVulnerableAffectedFragileSustainabilityConsumerismSevereUnpredictableTemperatureRecklessShould Have BeenNatural ResourcesDroughtStewardsIrreplaceableFloodingMoral ObligationDevouringCoastalPoor And Vulnerable Author:Desmond Tutu

“I don't believe there are climate skeptics. I think there are people who indulge in a culture of what can be reduced to Fox network thinking.

“I think the hardest one had to do with suffering. It had to do with all of our church members and friends passing through difficult times. Sometimes it's the global climate: tsunamis, earthquakes, radiation.
