Climate change is happening. It’s just not the end of the world. It’s not even our most serious environmental problem.
Many of the problems facing the nation and the world today may only be solved if their technical elements are understood – climate change, energy supply, health care, and infrastructure, to name just a few.
Inequality, climate change, and conflict are evicting millions from their homes. But these perils are being met with ‘anti-answers’ such as nationalism, closed borders, lies, and hatred.

As a California state legislator, I supported our cap-and-trade law to force polluters to pay for releasing harmful greenhouse gases to combat climate change.
Of course climate changes. Many changes are due to factors over which humans have no control, such as winds, ocean currents, and sun activity. But the liberals want us to believe that climate change is also caused by gases expelled when humans burn so-called fossil fuels.
I believe that climate change represents one of the greatest threats to our national security and our planet.

We cannot compromise with the earth; we cannot compromise with the catastrophe of unchecked climate change, so we must compromise with one another.
We have serious challenges regarding climate change, unsustainable use of natural resources, water scarcity, loss of biodiversity, forests and farmland. Not to mention the huge inequality still prevailing in several parts of the planet.
A diet that relies heavily on meat production results in higher emissions than a typical vegetarian diet. Different individuals will make different choices. However, the debate about climate change should not be dumbed down to a single slogan, such as ‘give up meat to save the planet.’
The world that you and I live in is increasingly challenged. Population growth, pollution, over-consumption, unsustainable patterns, social conflict, climate change, loss of nature… these are not good stories.
The effects of climate change are real and only getting worse. I would like to build on the promises of the Paris Climate Agreement and make our country a global leader on the fight against climate change.
People are going to buy cheap fertilizer so they can grow enough crops to feed themselves, which will be increasingly difficult with climate change.
Climate change is a security threat that Africans have had to deal with all of our lives.
The whole climate change debate gives – and there are all kinds of quotes from adherents of and promoters of climate change – the reason they’re doing it is it’s such a great opportunity to control, you know, pretty much, government, and control your lives.
If there is an impact on climate change due to natural causes, we need to understand that, and cannot escape responsibility to deal with what we are doing now.
The era of special interests blocking progress on every issue from access to health care to the cost of prescription drugs to tackling climate change has to end.
Many of the issues we face in dealing with rapid climate change are well suited to an engineering mind.
If the Pope plans to spend the majority of his time advocating for flawed climate change policies, then I will not attend.
I wish climate change wasn’t real.
Healthy forests and wetlands stand sentry against the dangers of climate change, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and locking it away in plants, root systems and soil.
A 501(c)3 can’t lobby. A 501(c)3 can’t invest in a company or build an industry. It may be that the only way to deal with climate change is to create an industry or build companies.
On climate change, Russia’s interests are aligned with the West rather than the South.
There is no doubt our earth is warming and our seas rising – or that humankind is the cause. There is no evidence to refute this – or any genuine scientific counterargument in the climate change debate.
Climate change is obviously happening and there is obviously a man-made contribution.
Migrants all over the world are pushed and pulled across borders by hunger, terror and climate change. It happened to my own family.
Among the laundry list of threats to our world, climate change more often than not makes these challenges worse.
Often times when you face such an overwhelming challenge as global climate change, it can be somewhat daunting – it’s kind of like trying to lose weight, which I know something about.
Under President Obama’s leadership, the United States has done more to combat climate change than ever before.
There’s no really rosy scenario ahead, where climate change just doesn’t happen, but I believe we don’t have the ethical right to throw our hands up in the air and say, ‘Game over.’ Whatever pathway we choose, our descendants will be dealing with that reality for centuries to come.
The more hardcore conservative you are, the more tightly identified you are with defending the interest of capital as an interest of the system based on hyper-competition, the more likely it is that you vehemently deny climate change. Because if climate change is real, your worldview will come crashing down around you.
I am gravely concerned about climate change.
Climate change is an economic, public health, and environmental issue that we have a moral responsibility to address.
Never denied climate change. It has always changed and always will.
Human induced climate change is real, and the evidence is right in front of us. It threatens our shores. It promises to bring intense heat waves and powerful storms. It has the power to disrupt our economy, endanger our food supply, and imperil global stability. We must take action to stop it.
Climate change is a fact, disrupting the environment, and also affecting economies, disease vectors, and political unrest worldwide.
The trouble with climate change is it’s an extraordinarily diverse and complex issue, but for example if the BBC would let me make some of the programmes I’d like to make on climate change, I bet you there would be a change of emphasis.
While some members of Congress have attempted to stall progress on climate change, their actions amount to little more than political theater. We will not abandon our responsibility to our children and grandchildren, nor will we cede global leadership on the defining issue of our time.
For many years now, ExxonMobil has held the view that the risks of climate change are serious and do warrant action.
Climate change has the potential to swallow up all other issues of development.
Wind and other clean, renewable energy will help end our reliance on fossil fuels and combat the severe threat that climate change poses to humans and wildlife alike.
I hope to see an integrated solution created to deal with both the local pollution problem and the global climate change problem.
Both climate change and extinction are results of our tyranny over the nonhuman world and our domination of, and exploitation of, whole categories of each other – and those, in turn, are clearly linked to agriculture, the cattle-industrial complex, capitalism.

What I worry about is climate change, because that would have untold effects that we can’t even measure yet.
It could be the case that all the studies supporting a warming planet are wrong; science always leaves that door open, but anthropogenic climate change remains the best explanation for a mountain of data that scientists have been poring over for a century.
As foreign minister of Norway, I learnt how natural changes provoked by climate change are creating new sources of political instability.
Actually, climate change is really about the wellbeing of people. It is not a very vague concept or a vague problem that is out of our everyday lives. It is actually affecting our everyday lives, and this is the fundamental fact that everybody should keep in mind while working toward a low-carbon society.
