The Green Climate Fund is very much a strategic building block in the architecture for financing sustainable development.
We can't take climate change and put it on the back burner. If we don't address climate change, we won't be around as humans.
As Americans, we have traditionally been the optimists sporting the 'can-do' attitude. But when it comes to addressing climate adaptation and resiliency, we seem to be more 'can't do' than 'can-do.'
Like the canary in the coal mine, the climate changes already evident in the Arctic are a call to action.
We have known since the 1800s that carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere. The right amount keeps the climate conducive to human life.
Maybe climate change is a threat, and maybe climate change has been tarted up by climatologists trolling for research grant cash. It doesn't matter.
I do absolutely believe that the climate is changing. I'm not prepared to determine causation.
Perhaps if there were less certitude about our climate future, more Americans would be interested in having a reasoned conversation about it.
When it comes to climate and energy, Gates is a radical consumerist. In his view, energy consumption is good - it just needs to be clean energy.
Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.
Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.
Research shows that the climate of an organization influences an individual's contribution far more than the individual himself.
Climate change is a terrible problem, and it absolutely needs to be solved. It deserves to be a huge priority.
Following the missile crisis, detente started to gain ground between the United States and the Soviet Union, so the international political climate improved after that.
By burning fossil fuels, we are already dumping 30 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year, which has a profound effect on the climate. So, like it or not, we're already messing with a system we don't understand.
The year 1826 was remarkable for the commencement of one of those fearful droughts to which we have reason to believe the climate of New South Wales is periodically subject.
If Trump wants to withdraw the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement, the rest of the world should impose a carbon-adjustment tax on U.S. exports that do not comply with global standards.
However useful computer models may be, the one thing they cannot be is evidence. Computer climate models are simply conjectures.
The U.S. has historically been the world's largest contributor to climate change.
Safer chemicals and more energy-efficient technologies can provide cooling without severe climate implications. Shifting to these alternatives could avoid the equivalent of 12 times the current annual carbon pollution of the United States by 2050.
