We are going to expand enormously -- our economy, our consumption, over the years to come ... But the consequences of that on emissions are going to be severe unless we change direction.

More quotes by Tony Blair
I think everyone's had their pound of flesh and now it's time to move on.
Tony Blair
I think people think their incomes have been flat lining for a long period of time. They feel that the next generation's opportunities are not going to be improvement. So and I also think that social media then allows insurgent movements to gain scale at speed.
Tony Blair
What I'm really more interested in doing - because I think, in a way that's kind of obvious - and you can see, look into Austria - you've got a far-right candidate who may become the president because he's in a close-run race.
Tony Blair
For me, 9/11 was a game changer. It altered my perception of the security threat we faced. I took the position that Britain should be shoulder to shoulder with the U.S. It was a big decision I didn't take it lightly, or in ignorance of its consequences. It's a big commitment for a country to give, but I believed it was the right thing to do.
Tony Blair
People always think American politics is very different, but usually it is a predictor of what happens in the politics elsewhere.
Tony Blair
We've seen the reality of Saddam's regime: his thugs prepared to kill their own people, the parading of prisoners of war and now the release of those pictures of executed British soldiers.
Tony Blair
If what the science tells us about climate change is correct, then unabated it will result in catastrophic consequences for our world.
Tony Blair
It's not a burning ambition for me to make sure that David Beckham earns less money.
Tony Blair
We promise that the events of 1991 will not happen again. We have pledged to remove Saddam. And we will deliver.
Tony Blair
I think the center ground have got to become the people of change again and not the guardians of the status quo. And that is the weakness it comes to in our campaign. You can see it in your politics, you can see it everywhere.
Tony Blair
As for those that carried out these attacks there are no adequate words of condemnation. Their barbarism will stand as their shame for all eternity.
Tony Blair
Their barbarism will stand as their shame for all eternity.
Tony Blair
Surely we have the wit and will to develop economically without despoiling the very environment we depend upon
Tony Blair
My course has never been about triangulation, and neither, really, is Bill Clinton's. It's not - it's about applying your values to the future in a practical and unblinking way, and that is an ideological view that is every bit as strong as views from the left or from the right.
Tony Blair
I feel like everyone else in this country today. I am utterly devastated.
Tony Blair
I think, there is a possibility - I would say it's more than that - that we will come to a view of foreign policy going forward that learns from the past but doesn't get captured by it.
Tony Blair
We in a sense went for the Bernie Sanders model OK? Now we're also in turmoil as a result of this result.
Tony Blair
People divide into groups where they talk to each other, but don't talk across the divide. And yet most of the challenges we face in the world today are challenges that are to do with trade, with technology, with how you make sure that people are properly educated, reform your health care system.
Tony Blair
Terrorist threats are not happening just in this country, but in every European country and every country across the globe. As a result of that, we do sometimes have to take measures we would rather not take in order to give us the security we need.
Tony Blair
Times are tough but they are tough because the government is trying to do the right thing, whether on public service reform, education, health, anti-social behaviour and welfare, or in counter-terrorism.
Tony Blair
