David Suzuki Quotes
Scientists have been warning about global warming for decades. It's too late to stop it now, but we can lessen its severity and impacts.
Suzuki, David. "It’s too late to stop climate change, but we can still lessen its impacts." David Suzuki Foundation, 12 Sept. 2012.
Here is a case of where an absolutely true quotation is used inappropriately politically. In this case to imply that there is nothing we can do to stop global warming. Just as humans have created some of the climate change in the last centuries, humans can change behavior and stop that portion of the change that we are creating. In addition, there are scientific and technological techniques being developed to alter the climate beyond that which mankind has produced.
