More quotes by James Hansen
It would be immoral to leave young people with a climate system spiraling out of control.
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
If we fail to act, we will end up with a different planet.
James Hansen
Politicians think that if matters look difficult, compromise is a good approach. Unfortunately, nature and the laws of physics cannot compromise - they are what they are.
James Hansen
Money has too big an influence on our politics in Washington and somehow we need to do something about that.
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
CEOs of fossil energy companies know what they are doing and are aware of long-term consequences of continued business as usual. In my opinion, these CEOs should be tried for high crimes against humanity and nature.
James Hansen
Adding CO2 to the air is like throwing another blanket on the bed.
James Hansen
As a government employee, you can't testify against the government.
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
Some Democrats deserve to be criticized.
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
I tend to be naive and gullible, I guess, but I try to believe that governments believe what they say.
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
The fact is fossil fuel carbon will stay in the surface climate system for millennia.
James Hansen
The evidence for human-made climate change is overwhelming.
James Hansen
We are on the precipice of climate system tipping points beyond which there is no redemption.
James Hansen
'Cap and trade' generates special interests, lobbyists, and trading schemes, yielding non-productive millionaires, all at public expense. The public is fed up with such business. Tax with 100% dividend, in contrast, would spur our economy, while aiding the disadvantaged, the climate, and our national security.
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
Rising carbon price is essential to 'decarbonize' the economy - to remove the nation towards the era beyond fossil fuels.
