• El senador Hillary Clinton ataca al presidente Bush por incumplir su promesa electoral de reducir las emisiones de dióxido de carbono, diciendo que promesa hecha, promesa incumplida. Y luego, por costumbre, exigió que Bush pasara la noche en el sofá.

• There is no question that global warming will have a significant impact on already existing problems such as malaria, malnutrition, and water shortages. But this doesn't mean the best way to solve them is to cut carbon emissions.

• Reducing carbon emissions is important, but it is shortsighted if not coupled with reducing the toxic emissions from our heart; and that is something spiritual leaders are supposed to teach and something all thinking people, regardless of their beliefs, should practice.

• Me preocupa la falta de sentido común en relación con las emisiones de dióxido de carbono. Nuestro mayor gas de efecto invernadero es el agua. La espectroscopia atmosférica revela por qué el agua contribuye en un 95% y el CO2 en un 3,6% al "efecto invernadero". Las emisiones de dióxido de carbono en todo el mundo ascienden cada año a 3.200 millones de toneladas. Esto equivale a un 0,0168% de la concentración de CO2 en la atmósfera, que es de unos 19 billones de toneladas. El resultado es un aumento del 0,00064% en la absorción de la radiación solar. Es una cifra insignificante.

• In the head-spinning cosmos of climate change, everyday hundreds of people claim there are 'thousands of papers' in support of a theory, yet no one can actually name one single paper with empirical evidence that shows carbon dioxide emissions are the main cause of global warming.

• We have to, in the next ten years, begin to decrease the rate of carbon dioxide emissions and then flatten it out. If that doesn't happen in ten years, we're going to be passing certain tipping points. If the ice sheets begin to disintegrate, what can you do about it? You can't tie a rope around an ice sheet.

• Casi todas las generaciones tienen algún mal espantoso contra el que deben luchar. Para el Partido Demócrata, ese mal son hoy las emisiones de dióxido de carbono. Para el resto de nosotros, es una ideología que enseña que su deidad se santifica con la sangre de inocentes.

• We have received no single argument in favour of this document except political pressure. No link has been established between carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. No other objective facts have been presented in recent time. The IPCC's reports in 1990 and 1995 show it clearly.

• If you're talking about mugging little old ladies, you don't say, 'What's our target for the rate of mugging little old ladies?' You say, 'Mugging little old ladies is bad, and we're going to try to eliminate it.' You recognize you might not be a hundred percent successful, but your goal is to eliminate the mugging of little old ladies. And I think we need to eventually come around to looking at carbon dioxide emissions the same way.

• Si los alimentos ya no estuvieran obligados a realizar viajes intercontinentales, sino que siguieran formando parte de un sistema en el que pudieran consumirse en distancias cortas, ahorraríamos mucha energía y emisiones de dióxido de carbono. Y basta pensar en lo que ahorraríamos en términos ecológicos sin transporte de larga distancia, refrigeración y envasado -que de todos modos acaba en el vertedero- y almacenamiento, que roba tiempo, espacio y vastas porciones de naturaleza y belleza.

• El Presidente Bush insistió hoy en que no estaba cediendo ante los grandes contribuyentes, los grandes grupos de presión y la presión general de la industria cuando rompió una promesa electoral de regular las emisiones de dióxido de carbono de las centrales eléctricas. Pero el aire estaba cargado hoy de acusaciones de personas que creen que eso es exactamente lo que ocurrió.

• There is no strong evidence to prove significant human influence on climate on a global basis. The global cooling trend from 1940 to 1970 is inconsistent with models based on anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. There is no reliable evidence to support that the 20th century was the warmest in the last 1000 years.

• The greenhouse effect of carbon-dioxide emissions does produce gentle warming if it is not counteracted by unpredictable natural phenomena, but it cannot be measured directly against the volume of such emissions.
