I don't have to change the world all by myself, I just need to partner in the work God wants us to do.

More quotes by Katharine Hayhoe
We must also suffer the consequences of our past decisions. And for that, we must open our hearts to those in need.
Katharine Hayhoe
We're not paying a real price for carbon. If we were, we wouldn't be using as much. We need to have the right perspective. It's not just about next quarter's financial return. It's about where we want to be in ten years.
Katharine Hayhoe
We need a price on carbon that accurately reflects its real costs on our society and our wellbeing.
Katharine Hayhoe
People have taken advantage of the very well-trodden pathways that divide science and faith on other issues, such as creation, evolution, and the age of the universe, to pigeonhole climate change as yet another variant on the same theme.
Katharine Hayhoe
I think it's interesting that the United States and Australia are two of the most individualistic nations in the entire world in terms of national personality.
Katharine Hayhoe
We must prepare for a changing climate by incorporating climate preparedness into every aspect of our planning - for food, water, health, energy, even national security. We must reduce our emissions to prevent even more dangerous change.
Katharine Hayhoe
I feel that one of the most important things I can do is connect climate change to the values, the faith, and the issues we already care about. And if, in the process, I have to sidestep around some very explosive mines, I will do that.
Katharine Hayhoe
Huge advances in clean energy technology are happening all the time. Solar and wind are booming. New ways to generate energy from our windows, the paint on our walls, and even our bike paths are being invented all the time. Technology is moving forward, but it needs to be moving forward faster.
Katharine Hayhoe
When I look around, the biggest way in which we are failing to care for those in need is through ignoring climate change and acting like it doesn't exist. As a Christian, I believe that is something the church needs to know.
Katharine Hayhoe
We have to fix climate change with the people we have right now, and to a large extent with the perspectives we have right now as well.
Katharine Hayhoe
One of the biggest issues with renewables right now is the fact that if the wind isn't blowing, if the sun isn't shining, we don't have energy. Many people are working on storage technology so when the wind isn't blowing, we can use the energy stored in our giant batteries, essentially. But what happens if we don't have enough stored energy?
Katharine Hayhoe
It's a new normal and I really do think that global weirding is the best way to describe what we're seeing.
Katharine Hayhoe
Natural gas is a very flexible source of energy that can help us bridge the gap between our current high-carbon economy and our zero-carbon future.
Katharine Hayhoe
It's a common perception that science and religion are mutually exclusive. But there are many scientists who would consider themselves to be spiritual people.
Katharine Hayhoe
There has been a concerted effort to frame caring about climate change and the environment as an alternate religion - one that worships the creation rather than the creator, so to speak.
Katharine Hayhoe
The word evangelist means someone who spreads good news. Studying the impacts of climate change as I do, it's hard to come up with good news. In many ways I feel more like a Cassandra or a Jeremiah than a good-news evangelist.
Katharine Hayhoe
The first thing we can do as individuals and as communities, like a school or a university or a church, is cut our energy use. Do an energy audit or measure our carbon footprint using online carbon calculators that are free, easy, and cheap. Get a list of the ways that we can stop wasting so much energy and save money.
Katharine Hayhoe
We have to reach out to churches and schools and help people understand science, and we have to build rapport between scientists and people of faith. Then once we get that understanding and rapport built, then everyone will be on board with climate change.
Katharine Hayhoe
For many of us, our values come from our faith.
Katharine Hayhoe
A person of faith who shares conservative values and who says very clearly that climate change is real - and here's why we have to care about it - I think that we unicorns do pose a threat to people who want to muddy the waters and keep others in the dark.
