Emissions Quotes - Page 6

• First, we must stop wasting energy. A quarter of the UK's carbon emissions come from the home. Our housing stock - the oldest in Europe - is costing us the earth... After transport, heating is the second biggest driver of energy demand in Britain. British Gas research suggests that householders who put in energy efficiency measures cut their gas consumption by 44%. Better insulated buildings will do much of the work for us.

• Global warming results not from the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but from an unusually high level of solar radiation and a lengthy - almost throughout the last century - growth in its intensity.

• Global warming results not from the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but from an unusually high level of solar radiation and a lengthy - almost throughout the last century - growth in its intensity. It is no secret that when they go up, temperatures in the world's oceans trigger the emission of large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. So the common view that man's industrial activity is a deciding factor in global warming has emerged from a misinterpretation of cause and effect relations.

• Many governments are giving subsidies to fossil fuel production and consumption that encourage greenhouse gas emissions, at the same time as they are spending on projects to promote clean energy. This is a wasteful use of scarce budget resources.

• Coal used to be a very dirty fuel but coal has become cleaner and cleaner over the decades. Clean coal now is quite clean. Clean coal now has the same emissions profile as natural gas. Clean coal can become cleaner still. We can take even more of the pollutants out of coal and I believe we should. Clean coal, I think, is the immediate answer to Canada's energy needs and the world's energy needs. There are hundreds of years available of coal supplies. We shouldn't be squandering that resource. We should be using it prudently.

• I did a lot of work on energy efficiency at the White House. By the time I left we had taken the equivalent of six hundred cars a year off the road in reduced greenhouse gas emissions just in the White House complex.

• 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.

• Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources.

• Mi mujer y yo hemos comprado dos híbridos. Hemos comprado una unidad fotovoltaica de 3 kw. Reciclamos y compensamos nuestras emisiones de carbono en Internet. Apagamos cosas. Pero también nos gastamos dos buenos sueldos al año, y aquí está el pequeño y sucio secreto: nuestra huella ambiental es ENORME, estoy seguro. Todos tenemos que hacer lo que podamos en nuestras vidas individuales, pero también tenemos que impulsar los cambios sistémicos que marcarán las grandes diferencias.

• I do not believe we can effectively move Australia to a lower emission economy, which is what we need to do if we're going to make a contribution to a global reduction in greenhouse gases, without putting a price on carbon.

• El cambio climático es un problema mundial. El planeta se está calentando debido al creciente nivel de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero procedentes de la actividad humana. Si esta tendencia continúa, es probable que se produzcan consecuencias verdaderamente catastróficas, desde la subida del nivel del mar hasta la reducción de la disponibilidad de agua, pasando por más olas de calor e incendios.

• European carmakers pledged to reduce CO2 emissions by 25 percent from 1995 to 2008. We kept our word and reduced the value even more. This is not the result of short-term gimmickry. We decided years ago to develop the relevant models and engines, otherwise we wouldn't be able to offer them today.

• Los políticos de todo el mundo atienden a los bancos de votos nacionales. Sólo gastan en lo que quieren sus electores. Así que, a menos que haya un movimiento ecologista de base en un país, los políticos no estarán dispuestos a gastar dinero en frenar las emisiones. Se necesita más concienciación entre la gente para que se produzca un cambio real en la forma de gastar de los gobiernos.

• I honestly don't know, but if America continues to refuse to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, I see a bleak future not only for American society, but for the world as a whole. This is a global problem that is not going away, and the United States is an obstacle to solving it.

• What we should be doing [in US] is accelerating every year our efforts to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, have a cleaner energy future, have much more energy conservation. And this won't hurt anybody. This will create a new economy for America, if we've got the discipline to do it.
