On average, global warming is not going to harm the developing world.

I really try to say things as they basically are and it so happens that it is a good message that things are getting better, but there are still problems.

For the longest time in Denmark I didn't want to say what I was politically. I thought it was irrelevant.

Obviously any group that has to have funding also needs to get attention to their issues.

Listen, global warming is a real problem, but it's not the end of the world. A 30-centimetre sea level rise is just not going to bring the world to a standstill, just like it didn't over the last 150 years.

It seems incontrovertible to me that there is a global warming effect and that it is going to be serious, probably not in the amount of, say, six degrees warming, but it's likely that we'll get two to three degrees warming and that will be serious enough.

...children born today-in both the industrialized world and developing countries-will live longer and be healthier, they will get more food, a better education, a higher standard of living, more leisure time and far more possibilities-without the global environment being destroyed.
