So it's mainly a question of helping the Third World overcome the effects of global warming.

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.

The truth doesn't always make a good story, does it?

Even as I hold you, I am letting you go.

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn't anyone who doesn't appreciate kindness and compassion.

If Britons were left to tax themselves, there would be no schools, no hospitals, just a 500-mile-high statue of Diana, Princess of Wales.

The familiar writer is apt to be his own satirist. Out of his own mouth is he judged.

To the generality of men you cannot give a stronger hint for them to impose upon you than by imposing upon yourself.

The leaders in Washington have got to come together in a bipartisan way and do the right thing for the people who are being left behind. We cannot have an America that is only based on the wealthy.

Beware of her fair hair, for she excels All women in the magic of her locks; And when she winds them round a young man's neck, She will not ever set him free again.

An actor without an audience is rehearsing.

For nothing ought to be posited without a reason given, unless it is self-evident (literally, known through itself) or known by experience or proved by the authority of Sacred Scripture.
