“Thousands of climate scientists agree that global warming is not only the most threatening environmental problem but also one of the greatest challenges facing all of humanity. We must demand a separation between oil and state. We can get off oil and slow global warming.” StatesProblemHumanityChallengesDemandScientistAgreeClimateEnvironmentalClimate ChangeOilSeparationGlobal WarmingThreateningEnvironmental Problems Author:Leonardo DiCaprio

“Some of the most intriguing new research is in the area of extreme weather events and rainfall. A recent study by German scientists published in Climatic Change projects that extreme precipitation will increase significantly in regions that are already experiencing extreme rainfall. Man-made global warming has already increased the moisture content of the air worldwide, causing bigger downpours. Each additional degree of temperature increase causes another seven percent increase in moisture in the air, and even larger downpours when storm conditions trigger heavy rains and snows.” MenMadeCausesStudyAirConditionsEventsDegreesProjectsResearchPercentRainAreasScientistBiggerIncreaseSevenClimate ChangeHeavyExtremesStormSnowWeatherGlobal WarmingRegionsTriggersTemperatureIntriguingMoistureRainfallExtreme WeatherRain And SnowHeavy Rain Author:Al Gore
“As long as a handful of U.S. scientists, most receiving funds from the fossil fuel industry, get equal time with hundreds of the world's leading climate scientists, the public inevitably ends up with a misimpression about the state of our scientific understanding.” WorldLongEndsStatesUnderstandingIndustryEqualScientistClimateClimate ChangeFuelFundReceivingFossilsHandfulFossil Fuel Book:Hell and high water: global warming - the solution and the politics - and what we should do Source: Hell and high water: global warming - the solution and the politics - and what we should do
“Globally, emissions may have to be reduced, the scientists are telling us, by as much as 60% or 70%, with developed countries likely to have to make even bigger cuts if we're going to allow the developing world to have their share of growing industrial prosperity...The Kyoto Protocol is only the first rather modest step. Much, much deeper emission reductions will be needed in future.

“[The Royal Society] is quite simply the voice of science in Britain. It is intellectually rigorous, not afraid to be outspoken on controversial issues such as climate change, but it is not aggressively secular either, insisting on a single view of the world. In fact, there are plenty of eminent scientists - Robert Winston, for instance - who are also men of faith.” MenWorldFactsScienceFaithVoiceViewsIssuesScientistClimateClimate ChangeInstancePlentyBritainNot AfraidSecularRoyalControversialInsistingOutspokenControversial Issues Author:Bill Bryson
