Below Quotes
The passing of this threshold is of the most enormous significance. It means we have actually entered a new era - the era of dangerous climate change. We have passed the point where we can be confident of staying below the 2 degree rise set as the threshold for danger. What this tells us is that we have already reached the point where our children can no longer count on a safe climate.

Absolutely Quotes
When we surveyed students about their interests and needs, they expressed a lot of support for the upcoming changes, but the educational climate we have is very important to them. We absolutely need to retain our commitment to providing a small-college experience. I don't pretend to say this won't be challenging, though.

Bit Quotes
We try to create a culture that thrives on innovative thinking. Part of that is creating a climate where it is OK to think and express new ideas even if they are a little bit wacky where there is no fear of people looking at you funny because you thought of something a little outside the box.
-
Beyond Quotes
We don't think much about climate change and rising sea levels here in the U.S. Beyond a few gardeners, birders and hikers who notice the changes in our own ecosystem, we live on, blissfully unaware of our changing Earth. Our storms - Katrina, Sandy - are dismissed as once-in-a-century events.

Asking Quotes
Users are beginning to question whether the WIPO has gone too far in the extent to which it is using these fees to cover the costs of the rest of the organization. In addition, the climate in the organization has changed in recent years, in that it has become more politicized. The staff has doubled, to 938, and governments are asking whether the new additions are qualified and really necessary.

Addressing Quotes
We are very pleased to have Rob Pratt bring his considerable talents, experience and leadership to the Foundation's climate change program. He believes, as we do, that we all must work together to find effective solutions. Towards that end, Rob and the Kendall Foundation look forward to working with existing non- profit organizations, the private sector, foundations, state legislatures and government agencies, universities and other key players in implementing regional policies and programs that are effective in addressing climate change.

Americas Quotes
Eurasia's main axis is east/west, whereas the main axis of the Americas is north/south. Eurasia's east/west axis meant that species domesticated in one part of Eurasia could easily spread thousands of miles at the same latitude, encountering the same day-length and climate to which they were already adapted.
-
Area Quotes
During the summer, nearly every area of the country is normally subject to periods of extreme heat, wetness, or dryness. Summer weather patterns over the continental U.S. are more difficult to forecast than those in the winter season because they are not strongly tied to a climate indicator, such as an El Nino or La Nina.

Both Quotes
focuses on the interests of energy, both energy security, but also energy efficiency. It focuses on the vital role of energy in development and it also focuses on the issues of climate change. It opens up the possibilities for developing, deploying, and transferring cleaner, more efficient technologies.
-
Activity Quotes
The result is that about 50 percent of the biomass carbon is retained. By sequestering huge amounts of carbon, this technique constitutes a much longer and significant sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide than most other sequestration options, making it a powerful tool for long-term mitigation of climate change. In fact we have calculated that up to 12 percent of the carbon emissions produced by human activity could be offset annually if slash-and-burn were replaced by slash-and-char.

Boat Quotes
There's no difference in the economic climate that Chrysler faces than the one that Ford and GM face. All three of us are in an entirely different boat than transplant operators. All three have legacy costs. All three of us have made commitments to our work force and our retirees that haven't manifested themselves with the transplants.
-
Arms Quotes
Issues of energy, climate change, nuclear arms control and non-proliferation are all big deals. These are problems that we have to get right globally, not just nationally, and there are big benefits in cooperating, in terms of sharing costs, in terms of sharing risks, in terms of propagating the best answers.
-
Changes Quotes
These results show that we will experience not only future climate change, but also the results of policies to reduce these changes, in ways that are not simply related to changes in the global mean temperature. Policy decisions about reducing greenhouse emissions should not, therefore, be dictated by projected changes in global mean temperature alone.
-
Across Quotes
The signs of climate change are visible across the nation, from the drought-stricken fields of Central California to the flooded streets of Michigan. Extreme weather is turning people's lives upside down and costing communities millions of dollars in damaged infrastructure and added health care costs.

Begin Quotes
The significance of this is that Mars is experiencing climate change, because the present conditions are not conducive to the formation of all this CO2 to begin with in the polar region. So sometime in the distant past, Mars was colder than it is now to form a permanent CO2 deposit. Subsequent to that, it has warmed and we are seeing that earlier deposit being eroded away,
