Once you start to look into the guts of climate change you find that just about every scientific institution in the world is conducting research on the issue.
lying responsibility people
It's absolutely not acceptable for people to argue that, if we are going to do anything about climate change at all, well, the responsibility lies solely with the individual.
community climate matter
Climate change is also clearly a matter of huge interest and concern for the scientific community.
issues chosen havens
I haven't chosen to make an issue of faith.

I guess for me what is more significant than success is the nature of each of the songs and of the words.
believe years voice
I believe that the quantum of our knowledge will increase considerably in the coming years and that scientists will continue to be amongst the brave voices speaking out.

I don't blame my own parents for the way I grew up, as quite often there is little choice in these issues.

environment planets wells
It is now well understood that humans ultimately depend on the health of the planet for their wellbeing.

The place where the system and people's intentions meet is the political arena.

What generally happens in this county is that our politicians don't serve us well because they don't tell the truth, and they don't keep their promises.
jobs technology challenges
There is job growth in renewables, there is job growth in energy efficiency and there is job growth in developing innovative industries and technologies to successfully meet the challenge of climate change.
