Famous Quotes & Sayings

Timothy Noah

Ultimate success for a carbon tax would mean so complete a shift to renewable energy that the tax would stop raising much revenue at all.

The 24-hour variation suggested that the system was very dynamic and that more than a single measurement was needed to tell us if the carbon dioxide rates were going up, staying the same or going down.

Roger McGuinn

I've got an electric little motorcycle that I go to the supermarket with every day, and it's powered by the solar panels, so it's really got a zero carbon footprint.

Marcus Samuelsson

Going meatless reduces our carbon footprint and helps us lead the way towards climate change.

Roy Blunt

There may be no issue that better illustrates the differences between Republicans and Democrats than energy. Consider it the 'all of the above' strategy for reducing gas prices, versus the 'all pain, no gain' plan for punishing those who emit carbon (like you).

We have a few injuries in our back line. A couple of our projected starters didn't even play, but the players that went in did a great job. I moved junior midfielder Scott Carbon back to the defense and he played very well. I thought he was the player of the game.

We are committed to doing everything we can to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Gregory Benford

Like the ocean, land plants hold about three times as much carbon as the atmosphere. While oceans take many centuries to exchange this mass with the air, flora take only a few years.

I think if you look at most polling, Californians want their taxes on gas to go toward improving the transportation system, not toward something that might marginally improve carbon emissions.

Nearly every industry in America, from carbon trading to bricklaying, hosts its own back-slapping awards night.

One of the most important things is we can put current levels of carbon dioxide and methane into a long-term context,

China's energy is very much focused on coal, and the economy is very focused on heavy industry, which is carbon intensive, so restructuring won't be easy.

Ryan Lewis

Glen Carbon is still eligible to receive the exhibit. With its cutting of personnel at the museum, it is causing us to review the application. We need to make sure that there is going to be enough personnel support and community support to back up this exhibit.

Al Gore

Human societies rely heavily on hydro-carbon power and this produce a lot of carbon dioxide that increases the global warming.

Annalee Newitz

Humans have obviously contributed a great deal of carbon to the atmosphere. So we are warming the planet up.

Hydraulic redistribution allows plants to continue fixing carbon and grow during the prolonged dry season.

He is likely one of the longest survivors of this sort of exposure, not only carbon monoxide, but the other circumstances in the mine.

Steve Burton

Frederick citizens vote on this, but it has a big impact on the entire Carbon Valley.

David Suzuki

Just as human activity is upsetting Earth's carbon cycle, our actions are altering the water cycle.

David Roberts

The black line is carbon emissions to date. The red line is the status quo - a projection of where emissions will go if no new substantial policy is passed to restrain greenhouse gas emissions.

Martin O'Malley

We are already witnessing a transformation in the U.S. economy to increased production of lower carbon energy through fuel switching to natural gas and expansion of wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewable non-carbon intensive energy sources.

We're hoping that the carbon monoxide was just a byproduct of the explosion.

John Hurt

We're not approaching it to make a carbon copy of what we did last time but we've tended to come back to the way we were thinking then. More to the point, I'm creeping up toward being old enough for it now.

Leonard Susskind

Man - life in general - seems irrelevant to the workings of the universe: a mere smudge of water, grease, and carbon on a pinpoint planet circling a star of no special consequence.

Jim Yong Kim

The water issue is critically related to climate change. People say that carbon is the currency of climate change. Water is the teeth.

Bill Hayden

Carbon is probably a bit harder to wrap since it's procedural.

Bruce Dickinson

I'm trying to be as green as I can. As an airline pilot, I have a carbon footprint that's a size 10, so it's pretty hard.

Denis Leary

My goal is to leave this planet with the biggest carbon footprint I can possibly leave.

Sylvia Earle

Every fish fertilizes the water in a way that generates the plankton that ultimately leads back into the food chain, but also yields oxygen, grabs carbon - it's a part of what makes the ocean function and what makes the planet function.

Seth Shostak

A factory that can turn carbon nanotubes into a sheet a yard wide and long enough to stretch one-fourth of the way to the moon is not something you'll find at your local industrial park. That's the show-stopper for the space elevator. The ribbon.

Annalee Newitz

The fact that we have been able to perturb the carbon cycle with our industrial revolution is evidence of how vulnerable we are - because when we destroy our environments, we destroy our food and energy supplies. In short, we destroy ourselves.

Annalee Newitz

Some time ago we discovered the carbon cycle - a long-term set of chemical reactions that govern climates based on how much carbon is free in the atmosphere. At that point, it became clear that humans were affecting our environments far more profoundly than we realized. By releasing so much carbon and greenhouse gas into the environment, we're making long-term changes to every aspect of the natural world.

Ann Coulter

The only place Al Gore conserves energy these days is on the treadmill. I don't want to suggest that Al's getting big, but the last time I saw him on TV I thought, "That reminds me we have to do something about saving the polar bears." Never mind his carbon footprint have you seen the size of Al Gore's regular footprint lately? It's almost as deep as Janet Reno's.
