Joe Barton Quotes

The climate has been changing since there was a climate.

The earth's climate has been changing since God created it, with or without man. On that, we should all agree.

Our climate is always changing.

Climate changes are caused by solar radiation and other natural phenomena, so I don't worry one bit about that. Nothing we do can change anything in the climate.

Climates always change. The question is, how are we going to adapt to climate change? Now, it may be true that we are accelerating it inadvertently by messing with our atmosphere, but regardless of that, the climate will change.

The climate is changing; I don't think you can deny that. But climate has always changed.

If it is warming, it's because it's happened before, cyclitic, it will happen again, regardless of what you and I do.

I'm absolutely convinced that the very small global warming we are experiencing is the result of natural causes. It's a cyclical phenomenon in the history of the Earth. The role of man is very small, almost negligible.

Believe it or not, very little research has ever been funded to search for natural mechanisms of warming... it has simply been assumed that global warming is manmade. Climate change - it happens, with or without our help.

I think there is a degree of speculation that is satisfied the climate is changing.

The number of hypotheses and theories about climate change are numerous. Quite naturally they have caught the public attention, as any proof of past climactic change points to the possibility of future climate change, which inevitably will have significant implications for global economics.

Climate change has been going on as long as the planet is here. There will be a little bit of it. We can’t stop it.

The fact is the planet is warming right now, and it is easier to blame it on some human activity rather than saying we should better understand the whole problem and recognize there are natural conditions that are impacting this, too.

If there is an impact on climate change due to natural causes, we need to understand that, and cannot escape responsibility to deal with what we are doing now.

The earth's history over the past several million years is that for every 100,000 years, we go through a dramatic climatic cycle where we get 90,000 years of ice age and 10,000 years of a warm period. I think people today just have the expectation that we deserve a perfectly benign climate forever.

I believe there is climate change. I'm not sure you can call it climate warming anymore, especially here in the Carolinas. I think the big debate is how much of it is man-made and how much of it will just naturally happen as Earth evolves.

Climate change is not the fault of man. It's Mother Nature's way. And sucking greenhouse gases from the atmosphere is too limited a solution. We have to be prepared for fire or ice, for fry or freeze. We have to be prepared for change.

Climate is always evolving, and natural disaster have always existed.

The science is clear that there is an increase in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. What is not clear from the science is how much of that increase is caused by human activity; and what also is not clear is what impact those increases have on the climatic cycle.

I don't think global warming is to do with us, I think it's a natural circle. I don't think a few Ferraris make that much difference.

Human-caused climate change threatens almost every aspect of human existence.

The science linking the increased frequency and severity of extreme weather to the climate crisis has matured tremendously in the last couple of years.

There is no question that climate change is happening; the only arguable point is what part humans are playing in it.

Human beings are definitely changing the planet, but how much impact they are having on climate, I don't know and I don't care.

My view is that climate changes have happened in the last 80 years, that is, the world has got a little bit warmer, although not as warm as it has been in Medieval times, or the Bronze Age.
