There is job growth in renewables, there is job growth in energy efficiency and there is job growth in developing innovative industries and technologies to successfully meet the challenge of climate change.

Life is very short; be willing to serve.

Once you start to look into the guts of climate change you find that just about every scientific institution in the world is conducting research on the issue.

It's absolutely not acceptable for people to argue that, if we are going to do anything about climate change at all, well, the responsibility lies solely with the individual.

But no matter how big the effort to push a propaganda line might be, climate change is bigger. This, undoubtedly and regrettably, is the biggest immediate long-term environmental challenge we face. A failure to concretely come to some policy outcome on climate change has not only a negative environmental impact but also social and economic consequences for us.

It is now well understood that humans ultimately depend on the health of the planet for their wellbeing.

The place where the system and people's intentions meet is the political arena.
