Emissions Quotes - Page 2

• Según los científicos, es posible que las emisiones deban reducirse en un 60% o 70% a escala mundial, y es probable que los países desarrollados tengan que hacer recortes aún mayores si queremos que los países en vías de desarrollo tengan su parte de la creciente prosperidad industrial... El Protocolo de Kioto es sólo el primer paso, bastante modesto. En el futuro se necesitarán reducciones de emisiones mucho mayores. Las implicaciones políticas son alucinantes.

• Researchers at the Naval Postgraduate School have told us that the entire Arctic ice cap may totally disappear in summer in as little as five years if nothing is done to curb emissions of greenhouse gas pollution.

• Mr. Vice President, the most fiscally conservative thing this government has ever done, is to invest massively in the green part of the recovery. Because those green dollars are the hardest working dollars in the history of American politics. That same dollar that is being used to cut energy bills, is also cutting global warming gas emissions, is also cutting unemployment, is also cutting poverty, through retrofits it's also raising the value of homes, is also by cleaning the air, cutting asthma rates.

• Temperature measurements in the arctic suggest that it was just as warm there in the 1930's...before most greenhouse gas emissions. Don't you ever wonder whether sea ice concentrations back then were low, too?

• El problema de la salud medioambiental de los niños es muy urgente en Rusia. La situación medioambiental es ahora el principal factor que determina la salud de las generaciones jóvenes... el volumen de emisiones contaminantes a la atmósfera y al agua ha aumentado y la escala de catástrofes ecológicas provocadas por el hombre ha crecido. Más de la mitad de los territorios rusos, donde vive el 60-70% de la población, tienen una situación ecológica insegura.

• We have at most ten years - not ten years to decide upon action, but ten years to alter fundamentally the trajectory of global greenhouse emissions... We are near a tipping point, a point of no return, beyond which the built in momentum and feedbacks will carry us to levels of climate change with staggering consequences for humanity and all of the residents of this planet.

• A menos que nos decidamos a reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero de aquí a unos pocos años, nuestros destinos ya estarán elegidos y nuestro camino hacia el infierno será inalterable a medida que las retroalimentaciones del ciclo del carbono... entren en acción una tras otra.

• Hace unos 3 millones de años, cuando la Tierra era algo más de 3 °C más cálida que los niveles preindustriales (unos 2,2 °C más cálida que hoy), la Antártida tenía mucho menos hielo y el nivel del mar era asombrosamente 25 metros más alto que hoy. Si seguimos con las emisiones actuales, es casi seguro que el planeta estará así de caliente a finales de siglo.

• Climate change is a crucial issue in todays global agenda. Hopefully, we will wake up to this reality, sooner rather than later. Pressure has been mounting on European Union Member States to act decisively to fight global warming. A bold target has been set reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 20 by 2020.

• ... the consensus of the scientific community has shifted from skepticism to near-unanimous acceptance of the evidence of an artificial greenhouse effect. Second, while artificial climate change may have some beneficial effects, the odds are we're not going to like it. Third, reducing emissions of greenhouse gases may turn out to be much more practical and affordable than currently assumed.

• These proven positive consequences of elevated CO2 are infinitely more important than the unsubstantiated predictions of apocalypse that are hypothesized to result from global warming, which itself, may not be occurring from rising atmospheric CO2 levels. The aerial fertilization effect of atmospheric CO2 enrichment is the only aspect of global environmental change about which we can be certain; and to restrict CO2 emissions is to assuredly deny the biosphere the many benefits that accrue from this phenomenon.

• With this information, in light of the increasing human demands on vegetation, it is my personal opinion that capping CO2 emissions or reducing them to some prior level would be akin to 'biting the hand that feeds us.
