I drove an electric car for seven years because of its advanced technology, not because I have any concerns about energy resources. I have none at all. And when environmentalists say that global warming is dangerous, unprecedented and that we'll have a tipping point for atmospheric carbon dioxide, it's just nonsense.

Global warming' is just the latest in a long line of hysterical crusades to which we seem to be increasingly susceptible.

The hotter summers get, the more we become dependent on air-conditioning, and the more of it we use, which ensures that summers will be even hotter.”

Global warming is socialism in drag.

The thing about climate change is that you’ll never know for sure until it’s way too late.

It doesn't make sense to argue about how much global warming is caused by man - whether it's 5 percent or 50 percent.

The U.S. has historically been the world's largest contributor to climate change.

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.

What has become clear from the science is that we cannot burn all of the fossil fuels without creating a very different planet.

We're running the most dangerous experiment in history right now, which is to see how much carbon dioxide the atmosphere... can handle before there is an environmental catastrophe.

The question of whether or to what extent human activities are causing global warming is not a matter of ideology, let alone of belief. The issue is simply one of risk management.

When it comes to global warming, coal is the gorilla in the room.

I find it interesting that many of the people who want to restrict fossil fuels live in well-developed countries where abundant and affordable energy is readily available.

The greenhouse effect of carbon-dioxide emissions does produce gentle warming if it is not counteracted by unpredictable natural phenomena, but it cannot be measured directly against the volume of such emissions.

Everyone except the far right wing of the Republican Party realizes that oil, gas and coal burning are the main activities that have sent the climate into bigger floods, droughts, hurricanes, and El Ninos.

China will soon emit more greenhouse gases than America, but its regime knows if it caps aspirations there will be a revolution.
