Maxine Hong Kingston
“In a time of destruction, create something.”
David Suzuki
“If we pollute the air, water and soil that keep us alive and well, and destroy the biodiversity that allows natural systems to function, no amount of money will save us.”
Christian de Duve
“The cost of our success is the exhaustion of natural resources, leading to energy crises, climate change, pollution, and the destruction of our habitat. If you exhaust natural resources, there will be nothing left for your children. If we continue in the same direction, humankind is headed for some frightful ordeals, if not extinction.”
Frances Beinecke
“I have long understood that climate change is not only an environmental issue – it is a humanitarian, economic, health, and justice issue as well.”
Al Gore
“As human beings, we are vulnerable to confusing the unprecedented with the improbable. In our everyday experience, if something has never happened before, we are generally safe in assuming it is not going to happen in the future, but the exceptions can kill you, and climate change is one of those exceptions.”
Barack Obama
“The shift to a cleaner energy economy won’t happen overnight, and it will require tough choices along the way.”
Ban Ki-moon
“Climate change is destroying our path to sustainability. Ours is a world of looming challenges and increasingly limited resources. Sustainable development offers the best chance to adjust our course”.
Juan Manuel Santos
“Anybody who doesn’t see the impact of climate change is really, and I would say, myopic. They don’t see the reality. It’s so evident that we are destroying Mother Earth. This is not the problem of one country or a few countries: it is the problem of mankind. We need to work together to stop this. Otherwise, our future generations will simply disappear.”
Yuval Noah Harari
“We are all living together on a single planet, which is threatened by our own actions. And if you don’t have some kind of global cooperation, nationalism is just not on the right level to tackle the problems, whether it’s climate change or whether it’s technological disruption.”
Ban Ki-moon
“The clear and present danger of climate change means we cannot burn our way to prosperity. We already rely too heavily on fossil fuels and we need to find a new, sustainable path to the future we want. We need a clean industrial revolution.”
Sir Nicholas Stern
“Climate change is a result of the greatest market failure the world has seen We risk damages on a scale larger than the two world wars of the last century.”
Noam Chomsky
“The general population doesn’t know what’s happening, and it doesn’t even know that it doesn’t know.”
Terri Swearingen
“We are living on this planet as if we had another one to go to.”
David King
“Climate change is the most severe problem that we are facing today, more serious even than the threat of terrorism.”
Marco Lambertini
“A planet being pushed to the edge will eventually turn on us.”
Paul Krugman
“The planet will continue to cook.”
Aldo Leopold
“The hope of the future lies not in curbing the influence of human occupancy – it is already too late for that – but in creating a better understanding of the extent of that influence and a new ethic for its governance.”
Wallace Broecker
“The paleoclimate record shouts to us that, far from being self-stabilizing, the Earth's climate system is an ornery beast which overreacts even to small nudges.”
Arnold Schwarzenegger
“The facts are there that we have created, man has, a self-inflicted wound that man has created through global warming.”
Al Gore
“We are running out of time, and we must have a planetary solution to a planetary crisis.”
