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.

We have to have more consideration for people who have lesser means than we do. It is a problem of survival.

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

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.

People have to realize that the air we breathe and the water we drink come from the ocean and will go back to the ocean one way or another, no matter how far away we may be from it. It's a perpetual cycle.

We must have the hope to be able to succeed.

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