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.

The climate is changing, but the question is how much - and to what extent human factors are contributing to that.

The evidence for human-made climate change is overwhelming.

Global climate change has a profound impact on the survival and development of mankind. It is a major challenge facing all countries.

Climate change is also clearly a matter of huge interest and concern for the scientific community.

The bottom line is that when Senator Inhofe says, 'Global warming is a hoax,' he is just dead wrong, according to the vast majority of climate scientists.

The effects of climate change are real and must be acted on.

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.

The climate has been changing since there was a climate.

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 bottom line is clear: Climate change is a reality, and it is having a real impact.

Well, I think it's clear that the climate is changing. I think reasonable people can differ about how much and how rapidly. But I think it's clear that it's changing and it's clear that humans are a contributing factor.

Much of the debate over global warming is predicated on fear, rather than science.

The basic science is very well established; it is well understood that global warming is due to greenhouse gases. What is uncertain is projections about specifics in the next few decades, by how much will the climate change.

Geological change usually takes thousands of years to happen but we are seeing the climate changing not just in our lifetimes but also year by year.

So it's mainly a question of helping the Third World overcome the effects of global warming.
