Pope Francis Quotes

Climate change is real and humans do contribute to those changes.

When you boil down the real facts and statistics of what carbon dioxide is doing to this planet... to not feel like you have to do something... I don't think you're human.

Hillary's [Clinton] policies on climate change are a problem too. We ignore her track record at our peril.

...the world needs to face up to the challenge of climate change, and to do so now. It is clear that climate change poses an urgent challenge, not only a challenge that threatens the environment but also international peace and security, prosperity and development. And as the Stern report showed, the economic effects of climate change on this scale cannot be ignored, but the costs can be limited if we act early

You can't just do one of the things, because it won't be enough to combat the climate change that we're already starting to experience. It will only get worse.

I think we have a very brief window of opportunity to deal with climate change. No longer than a decade at most.

Climate change is a real consequence of human activity and we have a moral obligation to address this challenge. That means reducing carbon pollution and accelerating our transition to clean energy, not only to protect our planet, but also to ensure our national security.

Climate change: Never before in history have human beings been called on to act collectively in defence of the Earth

I have voted that climate change is happening and it's also caused by man.

Climate change is real and needs honest debate about measures to restrain and remediate it. But that would be serious.

And our leaders spent the last few years trying to win the approval of an angry Swedish teenager.

I honestly don't know, but if America continues to refuse to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, I see a bleak future not only for American society, but for the world as a whole. This is a global problem that is not going away, and the United States is an obstacle to solving it.

The best way to deal with climate change has been obvious for years: cut greenhouse-gas emissions severely. We haven't done that. In 2010, for example, carbon emissions rose by six per cent - the largest such increase on record.
