Gloria Reuben Quotes

Even if we were to stop putting out greenhouse gases right now, we'd still face decades of warming.

Climate change is a result of the greatest market failure the world has seen...We risk damages on a scale larger than the two world wars of the last century.

We're still putting 110 million tons of man-made global pollution into the air every single day as if the sky is an open sewer. More than 90% of the extra heat energy is going into the oceans, and that's why superstorm Sandy was so much more destructive, that's why the ice is melting more rapidly, that's why the water cycle is being disrupted and we get a lot more water vapor coming from the oceans into the sky, and that's why we get these enormous downpours and big floods. They happen all the time. Every night on the TV news is like a nature hike through the Book of Revelation.

Climate change is having a dramatic effect on the ground.

Global warming creates volatility. I feel it when I'm flying. The storms are more volatile. We are paying the price in more hurricanes and tornadoes.

What I worry about is climate change, because that would have untold effects that we can't even measure yet.

As you heat the planet up, it's just like boiling a pot.

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

The facts are there that we have created, man has, a self-inflicted wound that man has created through global warming.

So far the earth has warmed about a degree Fahrenheit globally averaged. That doesn't seem like an enormous amount but it's unlike what we would have expected twenty years ago.

Humans are too stupid to prevent climate change from radically impacting on our lives over the coming decades.

The record rainfall and storm surges that have brought flooding across the UK are a clear sign that we are already experiencing the impacts of climate change.

As governor I have seen the tremendous changes over the last few years; the amount of land that we have lost, the trees that we have lost, the homes that we have lost, lives that have been lost, and it is due to a large extent to global warming.

Adding CO2 to the air is like throwing another blanket on the bed.

If you think of the ice caps as the fridge of our planet, if your fridge at home died, the food you eat would go rotten, and you'd starve.

The climate continues to deteriorate.

Global warming is my personal experience.

The truth is, as most of us know, that global warming is real and humans are major contributors, mainly because we wastefully burn fossil fuels.

Imagine what our planet would look like with an increase in temperature of two degrees or four degrees, given that at 0.8 degrees we already have serious problems in the world.

I don't think anybody would dispute that we're seeing a warming of the Earth.

Pollution from human activities is changing the Earth's climate. We see the damage that a disrupted climate can do: on our coasts, our farms, forests, mountains, and cities. Those impacts will grow more severe unless we start reducing global warming pollution now.

Earth might one day soon resemble the planet Venus.

Global warming isn't a prediction. It is happening.

I've been producing documentaries on global warming for 20 years and have seen the early warnings of extreme weather events come true.

What I have found most surprising is the amount of damage we have done to environment in the course of my lifetime - not even five and a half decades.
