More quotes by James Hansen
The fact is fossil fuel carbon will stay in the surface climate system for millennia.
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
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
As a government employee, you can't testify against the government.
James Hansen
We have known since the 1800s that carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere. The right amount keeps the climate conducive to human life.
James Hansen
Money has too big an influence on our politics in Washington and somehow we need to do something about that.
James Hansen
If we fail to act, we will end up with a different planet.
James Hansen
Well, you know what happens to crime when the heat goes up.
James Hansen
'Goals' and 'caps' on carbon emissions are practically worthless, if coal emissions continue, because of the exceedingly long lifetime of carbon dioxide in the air.
James Hansen
The last time the world was three degrees warmer than today-which is what we expect later this century-sea levels were 25m higher. So that is what we can look forward to if we don't act soon.
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
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
Scientists will say we can't blame global warming for any single event. In a sense that's right, but the fact that the frequency and intensity of these events is increasing you can blame on global warming.
James Hansen
Because cap and trade is enforced through the selling and trading of permits, it actually perpetuates the pollution it is supposed to eliminate.
James Hansen
The evidence for human-made climate change is overwhelming.
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
I tend to be naive and gullible, I guess, but I try to believe that governments believe what they say.
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
If we drive our fellow species to extinction, we will leave a far more desolate planet for our descendants than the world we inherited from our elders.
James Hansen
It would be immoral to leave young people with a climate system spiraling out of control.
James Hansen
