“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 - you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation.” YearsFirstsDoeHas BeensHappensProcessNumbersEconomicMankindRevolutionDevelopmentPeriodsModelsFirst TimeTasksTransformationClimateDepthClimate ChangeSettingSettingsDefinedYou ChooseCopConferencesEconomic DevelopmentIndustrial Revolution Author:Christiana Figueres
“The sea erupted. Often the sea and land changed places. The immobility of contours of continents and seas, a dogma in geology, has no basis in fact. And immediately there is the problem of the climate. There were ancient climates that were very different from what they are today. If those corals grew where they were found, certainly the Earth was not travelling with the same elements of rotation and revolution which means not in the same orbit, not with the axis directed in the same position as it is today. If you don't believe it, try to conservate corals on the North Pole.” IfsTryingBelieveMeanDifferentFactsProblemTodayEarthFoundSeaLandPositionChangedRevolutionGrewElementsBasesClimateDon't BelieveAncientDogmaContinentsGeologyOrbitAxesRotationNorth Pole Author:Immanuel Velikovsky

“Indie music is 'it' now. It's kind of a revolution to the music: 1980s, 1990s music was getting very sanitized; they were complying with the music industry. Music was getting more and more dead in a way. Now, because of the social climate that's very severe, the artists are compelled to start being real.

“A revolution in humanity's use of fossil fuel-based energy would be necessary sooner or later to sustain and to extend modern standards of living. It will be required sooner if we are to hold the risks of climate change to acceptable levels. The costs that we bear in making an early adjustment will bring forward, and reduce for future times, the costs of the inevitable eventual adjustment away from fossil fuels.” IfsUseWould BeHumanityEnergyChangeLevelsEnvironmentRiskModernRevolutionBearsCostStandardsClimateClimate ChangeInevitableFuelAcceptableSooner Or LaterFossilsAdjustmentFossil FuelStandards Of LivingFuture Time Author:Ross Garnaut
