...the global surface albedo [surface whiteness] and greenhouse gas changes account for practically the entire global climate change.

Burning all the fossil fuels will destroy the planet we know, Creation, the planet of stable climate in which civilization developed.

The evidence for human-made climate change is overwhelming.

How long have we got? We have to stabilize emissions of carbon dioxide within a decade, or temperatures will warm by more than one degree... We don't have much time left.

Scientists will say we can't blame global warming for any single event. In a sense that's right, but the fact that the frequency and intensity of these events is increasing you can blame on global warming.

The most difficult task, phase-out over the next 20-25 years of coal use that does not capture CO₂, is Herculean, yet feasible when compared with the efforts that went into World War II. The stakes, for all life on the planet, surpass those of any previous crisis. The greatest danger is continued ignorance and denial, which could make tragic consequences unavoidable.

I tend to be naive and gullible, I guess, but I try to believe that governments believe what they say.
