Douglas Rushkoff Quotes

There's a lot of differing data [about global warming], but as far as I can gather, over the last hundred years the temperature on this planet has gone up 1.8 degrees. Am I the only one who finds that amazingly stable? I could go back to my hotel room tonight and futz with the thermostat for three to four hours. I could not detect that difference.

Climate change is a reality.

The main cause that I have attached my name to and am working diligently in is the issue of climate change.

Global warming is too serious for the world any longer to ignore its danger or split into opposing factions on it.

Climate change is real and it is caused to a significant extent by human activity.

There's one issue that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent and growing threat of a changing climate.

That's all global warming ever was. For the scientists involved in it, it was a living. You go out and promote what the leftists wanted to hear, and you got grant money. And if you run around and really sound like you believe it, then they're gonna make you a star. And if you're Algore and you realize you can capitalize on your vice presidency, you can become a multimillionaire spreading this hoax, which he has done.

Of course climate change is real.

Norway is combating climate change. It's an important issue for us. And we are committed to the Paris Agreement.

The Paris agreement represents a huge step forward. It would have been preferable, of course, to start the process many years earlier, and a lot of question marks remain on how nations will ratify it, adhere to it and report their carbon reductions. But this is a remarkable ray of hope for our planet.

We need to reduce carbon emissions, protect Maine's key industries and preserve our coastlines from flooding and rising sea levels.

Climate change isn't something people get to choose to believe or not: it's happening.

I think global warming is a very real problem for our world. I've seen the changes that have taken place in the Antarctic, in the Himalayas, where the natural ice has sort of faded away, and there's no doubt in my mind that we're living in a strange world, a world which is not easy to understand or handle, But there's nothing you can do about, you just have to live your life as best you can.

I think the world's still gonna be here in another 10, 20 years. But I'm not feeling great about things ecologically.

Experts say this global warming is serious, and they are predicting now that by the year 2050, we will be out of party ice.

We are upsetting the atmosphere upon which all life depends. In the late 80s when I began to take climate change seriously, we referred to global warming as a "slowmotion catastrophe" one we expected to kick in perhaps generations later. Instead, the signs of change have accelerated alarmingly.

Climate change is real. The science is compelling. And the longer we wait, the harder the problem will be to solve.

You can't just do one of the things, because it won't be enough to combat the climate change that we're already starting to experience. It will only get worse.

Global warming, climate change, it's a total.

The issue of climate change is one that we ignore at our own peril

[Israel] undermines the international community's reaction to global warming.

We should be treating, I think, the whole issue of climate change and global warming with a far greater degree of priority than I think is happening now.

If what the science tells us about climate change is correct, then unabated it will result in catastrophic consequences for our world.

We are on track for a 3.5 deg C rise by 2040 (i.e. 4.2 deg C relative to pre-industrial)... When I look at this data, the trend is perfectly in line with a temperature increase of 6 degrees Celsius, which would have devastating consequences for the planet. We have 5 years to change the energy system, or have it changed

Unless we take action on climate change, future generations will be roasted, toasted, fried and grilled.
