More quotes by James Hansen
As a government employee, you can't testify against the government.
James Hansen
Only in the last few years did the science crystallize, revealing the urgency - our planet really is in peril. If we do not change course soon, we will hand our children a situation that is out of their control.
James Hansen
What we are doing to the future of our children, and the other species on the planet, is a clear moral issue.
James Hansen
The carbon emissions from tar shale and tar sands would initiate a continual unfolding of climate disasters over the course of this century. We would be miserable stewards of creation. We would rob our own children and grandchildren.
James Hansen
The five warmest years over the last century occurred in the last eight years.
James Hansen
Several times in Earth's history, rapid global warming occurred, apparently spurred by amplifying feedbacks. In each case, more than half of plant and animal species became extinct. New species came into being over tens and hundreds of thousands of years. But these are time scales and generations that we cannot imagine.
James Hansen
Rising carbon price is essential to 'decarbonize' the economy - to remove the nation towards the era beyond fossil fuels.
James Hansen
Well, you know what happens to crime when the heat goes up.
James Hansen
Recent warming coincides with rapid growth of human-made greenhouse gases. The observed rapid warming gives urgency to discussions about how to slow greenhouse gas emissions.
James Hansen
A level of no more than 350 ppm is still feasible, with the help of reforestation and improved agricultural practices, but just barely - time is running out.
James Hansen
The evidence for human-made climate change is overwhelming.
James Hansen
As you get more global warming, you should see an increase in the extremes of the hydrological cycle - droughts and floods and heavy precipitation.
James Hansen
Planet Earth, creation, the world in which civilization developed, the world with climate patterns that we know and stable shorelines, is in imminent peril.
James Hansen
Adding CO2 to the air is like throwing another blanket on the bed.
James Hansen
I think we have a very brief window of opportunity to deal with climate change. No longer than a decade at most.
James Hansen
Money has too big an influence on our politics in Washington and somehow we need to do something about that.
James Hansen
We are on the precipice of climate system tipping points beyond which there is no redemption.
James Hansen
I tend to be naive and gullible, I guess, but I try to believe that governments believe what they say.
James Hansen
Some Democrats deserve to be criticized.
James Hansen
The forcings that drive long-term climate change are not known with an accuracy sufficient to define future climate change.
James Hansen
