The science window gives you a view of the world, and the religion window gives you a totally different view. You can't look at both of them at the same time, but they're both true.

Vegetation is really controlling what happens...whereas the emphasis in the climate models has always been on the atmosphere.

We must be careful not to discourage our twelve-year-olds by making them waste the best years of their lives preparing for examinations.

I'm prejudiced about education altogether. I think it's terribly overrated. It wastes a tremendous amount of time - especially for women, it's particularly badly timed.

It ruins the five years of their lives.
