Quotes About Warming

When we think about global warming at all, the arguments tend to be ideological, theological and economic.

The sun shines and warms and lights us and we have no curiosity to know why this is so; but we ask the reason of all evil, of pain, and hunger, and mosquitoes and silly people.

The scientists pushing Global Warming are all in it for climate study grants. Seriously, you never realized you can judo-kill that with just four words? Show… us… the… 'grants.

The right response to the non-problem of global warming is to have the courage to do nothing.

Earth might one day soon resemble the planet Venus.

The reality of climate change is a stupid thing to argue about.

[Global-warming debate] some kind of tricky campaign made up by some commercial structures to promote their business projects.

Leo wondered what unknown sin they must have committed in some previous life to deserve this. The answer came the same way their feet later shocked to life in the warming hut after being so numb for hours- you think you'll never feel your toes again, and then all of a sudden life, damaged, stiffened, clammy, but life, dog-eat-dog life! We have not done a single thing to deserve this.

A particularly frightening observation: even if emission levels are reduced, by 2070 Earth will be the hottest it has been in 125,000 years, which means it will be "hotter than it has been for most, if not all, of the time since modern humans emerged as a species 200,000 years ago.

The science is in. The facts are there that we have created, man has, a self-inflicted wound that man has created through global warming.

When all is said and done, how do we not know but that our own unreason may be better than another's truth? for it has been warmed on our hearths and in our souls, and is ready for the wild bees of truth to hive in it, and make their sweet honey. Come into the world again, wild bees, wild bees!

They're not predicting global warming based on what's happened in the past; they're basing it on what their computer predictions say, and nothing more.

we are still in the warming-up stage following the last Pleistocene glaciation—that the world's climate, over the next thousands of years, will grow considerably warmer before beginning a downward swing into another Ice Age. But what we are experiencing now is perhaps

there isn't even a pole at the North Pole, and if global warming continues, there won't be any ice, either.

If the Greenhouse Theory were valid, temperatures in the Arctic and the Antarctic would have risen several degrees Celsius since 1940 due to the huge emissions of man-made CO2 . The icy bad news for the CO2 alarmists is that the temperatures at and near the North and South Poles are lower now than they were in 1930.

The Antarctic Peninsula, the thin finger of land pointing north toward Argentina (and the equator) has been getting warmer. We've heard an inordinate amount of hoopla about the warming on the peninsula, which makes up less than 3 percent of the Antarctic's land area. That's because (1) that is where most of the scientists and thermometers are; and (2) it is the only part showing any agreement with the Greenhouse Theory. The other 97 percent of Antarctica has been cooling since the mid-1960s.

By the 1960s scientists had expressed concerns about the possibility of an anthropogenic climate change to presidents of both parties. At the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 the industrialized countries seemed to agree that by 2000 they would stabilize their GHG emissions at 1990 levels. Yet global emissions are still increasing, the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide is now almost 10% greater than it was in 1992, we have already experienced a warming of .8°C,

spending money to slow global warming should not be conceptualized primarily as being about optimal consumption smoothing so much as an issue about how much insurance to buy to offset the small chance of a ruinous catastrophe that is difficult to compensate by ordinary savings.

Using whatever data he could find, Callendar claimed that there had already been a 10% increase in atmospheric CO2 and that an observable, anthropogenic warming had already begun. What became known as the "Callendar Effect" was the claim that the combustion of fossil fuels would lead to increases in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, which would warm the earth.

In 1975 Wally Broecker published an influential paper correctly predicting a twentieth-century warming of 0.8°C, and worrying about the consequences for agriculture and sea level.64

When I picked him up originally, the boy's spirit was soft and cold, like ice-cream. He started melting in my arms. Then warming up completely. Healing.

In September 2013, the panel of 209 lead authors and 600 contributing authors, from 39 nations, poring over 9,200 scientific publications, came to these landmark conclusions: global warming is "unequivocal," sea levels are rising, ice packs are melting, and if we continue at this pace we "will cause further warming and changes in all components of the climate." However, they added, we can slow the process down if we begin at once.

Global warming has already triggered a sea level rise that could reach from 6 metres (19.69 ft) to 25 metres (27.34 yards).

Climate change is happening, humans are causing it, and I think this is perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing us.
