The urgency derives from the nearness of climate tipping points.

We're running out of time.

Imagine a giant asteroid on a direct collision course with Earth. That is the equivalent of what we face now with climate change, yet we dither.

We are on the precipice of climate system tipping points beyond which there is no redemption.

It would be immoral to leave young people with a climate system spiraling out of control.

Global warming has already triggered a sea level rise that could reach from 6 metres (19.69 ft) to 25 metres (27.34 yards).

What we are doing to the future of our children, and the other species on the planet, is a clear moral issue.

How long have we got? We have to stabilize emissions of carbon dioxide within a decade, or temperatures will warm by more than one degree... We don't have much time left.

What has become clear from the science is that we cannot burn all of the fossil fuels without creating a very different planet.

It's as certain that as long as fossil fuels are the cheapest energy, we will just keep burning them.

We have at most ten years—not ten years to decide upon action, but ten years to alter fundamentally the trajectory of global greenhouse emissions.

Me as a woman liking myself, is an act of social defiance!

It’s clearly a budget. It’s got lots of numbers in it.

Many men have children, but not many children have 'Fathers'. Age releases to you reproductive skills. Fatherhood requires LEADERSHIP skills

If I could have been a marine biologist I would have, but I didn't have that kind of intelligence. Numbers were never my strong point.

I believe in nourishment and having a balanced diet. I avoid bingeing and try and eat healthy, especially lots of amla, and drink lots and lots of water.

I am bewildered by the death of love. And my responsibility for it.

All my years to this moment All my roads to this wall. All my words to this silence All my pride to this fall. -Songs of Sapphique

I'd like my life to be like a Bruce Springsteen song. Just once. I know I'm not born to run, I know that Seven Sisters' Road is nothing like Thunder Road, but feelings can't be different, can they?

Designers send me clothes I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing.

My personal philosophy is, you can be sure of nothing.
