I'm a vegetarian, but I don't expect other people not to eat meat.

The obvious issue is providing clean drinking water and sanitation to every single human being on earth at the cost of little more than one year of the Kyoto treaty.

The Kyoto treaty has an estimated cost of between US$150 and $350 billion a year, starting in 2010.

My suggestion is that we should first work to ensure the Third World has clean drinking water and sanitation.

Wishful thinking is not sound public policy.

We need to invest dramatically in green energy, making solar panels so cheap that everybody wants them. Nobody wanted to buy a computer in 1950, but once they got cheap, everyone bought them.

Money spent on carbon cuts is money we can't use for effective investments in food aid, micronutrients, HIV/AIDS prevention, health and education infrastructure, and clean water and sanitation.

On average, global warming is not going to harm the developing world.

The fact that we're catching more fish per person than we've ever done before doesn't mean that there are not particular places where we've managed fisheries badly.

Global warming is real - it is man-made and it is an important problem. But it is not the end of the world.

Think on a 50-year scale, which is a much more natural time-scale for global warming. The US is right now spending about 200 million dollars annually on research into renewable energy.

I know you think I'm crazy. Maybe that's because I am. About life, about this moment, about you.

Anyone who teaches me deserves my respect, honoring and attention.

The object of art is to crystallize emotion into thought, and then fix it in form.

If you don't meet the standards, then you don't qualify.

I've swum for my country, I've swum for my coaches and my schools and my teams. I decided this time I was going to swim for myself.

Bitterness is the trap that snares the hunter

A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in.

I could not be so sure of Spring / Save that it sings in me.

To me the thought of oneself as low and humble is a sin and ignorance.
