Famous Quotes & Sayings

Lamar Alexander

I think there's plenty of evidence that we need to stop spewing so much carbon into the air, that we're contributing to climate change and that we ought to look for alternatives.

Whereas today the cost to purchase commercial-grade carbon fiber is between $8 and $10 per pound, the goal is to reduce that figure to between $3 and $5 per pound.

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.

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.

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).

Strong limits on carbon pollution will save Americans money, create jobs, improve our health, and help defuse climate change.

Mangroves, salt marshes and sea grass lock away carbon at up to five times the rate of tropical forests.

Americans welcome carbon limits because they want to protect their families from harm.

Putting a tax on carbon could be an effective approach for curbing global warming pollution.

Countries have made impressive pledges to cut carbon pollution, but we have to ensure these promises become actions.

Eduardo Paes

Smart cities are those who manage their resources efficiently. Traffic, public services and disaster response should be operated intelligently in order to minimize costs, reduce carbon emissions and increase performance.

Key would be the detection of carbon and nitrogen containing particles.

Marco Rubio

There is a majority of scientists that say that global carbon emissions by humans causes some changes in the climate.

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.

Roger Price

If we over-breathe we lose carbon dioxide. The tissues then become starved of oxygen and then our body's systems start to spasm -it's then that we run into all sorts of health problems.

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

Marsha Blackburn

There are some that feel like human activity is the cause for carbon emissions, and because of that, we need to revert to where we were in the 1870s for carbon emissions. I just choose to disagree with that.

Our work suggests that the impacts of human-caused land cover changes on climate are at least as important, and quite possibly more important, than those of carbon dioxide,

It is all very well for the government to trumpet the merits of technology in reducing carbon emissions, but it simply isn't enough; we need robust, measurable targets, not just vague aspirations.

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.

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.

Marcus is just like his dad. He's a carbon copy.

Limonene has been around forever, carbon dioxide as well. What we've been able to do is devise this catalyst for the first time that allows these two small molecules to come together to make a plastic,

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.

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.

Jamais Cascio

Carbon dioxide isn't the only greenhouse gas out there. Other substances, such as water vapor and nitrous oxide, also trap heat to varying degrees.
