Pat Toomey Quotes

Global warming is one of those things, not like an earthquake where there's a big bang and you say, 'Oh, my God, this is really, has hit us.' It creeps up on you. ... Half a degree temperature difference from one year to the next, a little bit of rise of the ocean, a little bit of melting of the glaciers, and then all of a sudden it is too late to do something about it.

Global warming is not just the greatest environmental challenge facing our planet - it is one of our greatest challenges of any kind.

Global warming, climate change, it's a total.

As for climate change, it's by now widely accepted by the scientific community that we have entered a new geological era, the Anthropocene, in which the Earth's climate is being radically modified by human action, creating a very different planet, one that may not be able to sustain organized human life in anything like a form we would want to tolerate.

Global warming is a real threat to our communities, to everybody, to everything.

I think global warming is a very real problem for our world. I've seen the changes that have taken place in the Antarctic, in the Himalayas, where the natural ice has sort of faded away, and there's no doubt in my mind that we're living in a strange world, a world which is not easy to understand or handle, But there's nothing you can do about, you just have to live your life as best you can.

We are now at the point in the age of global warming hysteria where the IPCC global warming theory has crashed into the hard reality of observations.

Global warming threatens the survival of our species.

The science [of global warming] is beyond dispute... Delay is no longer an option. Denial is no longer an acceptable response

The debate is over. The scientific community has spoken in a virtually unanimous voice. Climate change is real. It is caused by human activity.

Climate change is not going away. It will only get more extreme and more dangerous with time. There is no hiding from it. Yes, those living in poverty today will be hit first and the hardest, but we are all going to feel it and see it. We already are.

If we don't figure out global warming, we're not going to be able to be here.

There's a lot of differing data [about global warming], but as far as I can gather, over the last hundred years the temperature on this planet has gone up 1.8 degrees. Am I the only one who finds that amazingly stable? I could go back to my hotel room tonight and futz with the thermostat for three to four hours. I could not detect that difference.

I'm not a specialist in the science but I have followed it fairly closely and it seems to me that there is among the experts a clear consensus that potential climate change is something to worry about.

Climate change is having a dramatic effect on the ground.

Global warming is my personal experience.

Global Warming -- a lot of it is a hoax. It's a hoax.

Climate change isn't something people get to choose to believe or not: it's happening.

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

Climate change is real. The science is compelling. And the longer we wait, the harder the problem will be to solve.

Climate change is the greatest threat of our time.

Climate change is the greatest threat to our existence in our short history on this planet. Nobody's going to buy their way out of its effects.

Climate change is a huge problem, an almost insoluble problem.

Climate change poses clear, catastrophic threats. We may not agree on the extent, but we certainly can't afford the risk of inaction.

I don’t know the science behind climate change.
