It's important that you work on things that you care about and do a good job and not be too worried about consequences. Don't be afraid to get involved.

People should treat the oceans like we do anything else that we care about - with consideration, with care, and affection. That's it. For that we must educate.

We have to work together to do a better job than we did in the last few generations.

The amount of water on the planet does not change, only its quality.

I am involved in making measurements in polar oceans, and they are changing more than anything else. I think we have to be prepared for major changes associated with the melting of floating ice and the melting of the Greenland glacier.

What do we expect the climate to do? How will it affect people? And how can we protect people from hardship? We should be willing to face the facts that things may not go very well.

We must have the hope to be able to succeed.
