The 'well-informed citizenry is in danger of becoming the 'well-amused audience'.

We sometimes emphasize the danger in a crisis without focusing on the opportunities that are there.

...it is appropriate to have an over representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis.

I'm not trying to top anything. I'm trying to be useful, to play a positive role, to serve the public interest.

I think it's harder for people than it should be. But as more and more of us become carbon neutral and change the patterns in our lives to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem, we are now beginning to see the changes in policy that are needed.

I take no pleasure in the fact that the scientific predictions I’ve relayed to popular audiences turn out to be true.

I am a passionate advocate of getting special interest money out of politics.
