We rushed into renewable energy without any thought. The schemes are largely hopelessly inefficient and unpleasant. I personally can't stand windmills at any price.

All the modelling we do shows that the climate is poised on the jump up to a new hot state. It is accelerating so fast that you could say that we are already in it.

I've got personal views on the '60s. You can't have freedom without paying the price for it.

I'm not a pessimist, even though I do think awful things are going to happen.

This programme to stop nuclear by 2020 is just crazy. If there were a nuclear war, and humanity were wiped out, the Earth would breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't think we're yet evolved to the point where we're clever enough to handle a complex a situation as climate change. The inertia of humans is so huge that you can't really do anything meaningful.

Geological change usually takes thousands of years to happen but we are seeing the climate changing not just in our lifetimes but also year by year.

So-called 'sustainable development' is meaningless drivel.

We'd never have got a chance to go outside and look at the earth if it hadn't been for space exploration and NASA.

Nowadays if you're dependent on a grant - and 99% of them are - you can't make mistakes as you won't get another one if you do.

A billion could live off the earth 6 billion living as we do is far too many, and you run out of planet in no time.

I wouldn't be against them (large wind turbines) if they actually worked.

The Earth's population will be culled from today's 6.6 billion to as few as 500 million, with most of the survivors living in the far latitudes - Canada, Iceland, Scandinavia, the Arctic Basin.

NASA will send up a big sun shade that will be in orbit between the earth and sun and deflect 2 or 3 percent of the sunshine back into space. It would be cheaper than the international space station.

If it hadn't been for the Cold War, neither Russia nor America would have been sending people into space.

By the end of this century, climate change will reduce the human population to a few breeding pairs surviving near the Arctic.

You mustn't take what I say as gospel because no one can second-guess the future.

There is little evidence that our individual intelligence has improved through recorded history.
