Heidi Hammel Quotes

Climate does fluctuate. It goes from hot to cold. We have ice ages.

Some people call it global warming; some people call it climate change. What is the difference?

I'm saying, Come on, the global warming thing? How did the ice melt during the ice ages? Was the dinosaurs driving SUVs around back then?

Ice ages have come and gone. Coral reefs have persisted.

The basic scientific conclusions on climate change are very robust and for good reason. The greenhouse effect is simple science: greenhouse gases trap heat, and humans are emitting ever more greenhouse gases.

The first thing that is not obvious to people is global warming is a less-than-1% effect. It's like being shortchanged at the bank by a penny every dollar. Over a long period of time with lots of transactions, that piles up.

The climate continues to deteriorate.

There's no question that, um, you know, the oceans have risen, right? And the climate change part is, is a real part of it.

It seems incontrovertible to me that there is a global warming effect and that it is going to be serious, probably not in the amount of, say, six degrees warming, but it's likely that we'll get two to three degrees warming and that will be serious enough.

Let me state what the official IPCC prediction is: Sea levels could go up as much as three-quarters of a meter in this century, but there is a reasonable probability it could be much higher than that.

We believe the ice sheet was not around all the time. It was only around during cool snaps of the climate.

I think the climate has been changing for billions of years.

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.

We do know that global warming has led to the increase in number and intensity of weather events.

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.

The jury is still out on whether humans are causing climate change.

The climate has always changed - after all, we've had numerous ice ages without human influence - but human activity has undoubtedly exacerbated Earth's natural trends beyond its capacity to adjust.

Most climatologists agree that, at best, global warming is a theory about future climactic conditions and cannot be proven based upon the historic record.

I don't know the science behind climate change. I can't say one way or another what is the direct impact, whether it's man-made or not.

Our climate is changing. The causes are man-made. And we are already feeling the effects.

Climate change is the greatest threat to humanity, perhaps ever. Global temperatures are rising at an unprecedented rate, causing drought and forest fires and impacting human health.

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

Global warming is a deadly threat precisely because it fails to trip the brain's alarm, leaving us soundly asleep in a burning bed.

According to a new UN report, the global warming outlook is much worse than originally predicted. Which is pretty bad, when they originally predicted it would destroy the planet.

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.
