The fact is fossil fuel carbon will stay in the surface climate system for millennia. ~ James Hansen
Carbon quotes by James Hansen
The black line is carbon emissions to date. The red line is the status quo - a projection of where emissions will go if no new substantial policy is passed to restrain greenhouse gas emissions. ~ David Roberts
Carbon quotes by David Roberts
The transition to a low-carbon economy will be one of the defining issues of the 21st century. This plan sets out a route-map for the UK's transition from here to 2020 ... every business, every community will need to be involved. Together we can create a more secure, more prosperous low carbon Britain and a world which is sustainable for future generations. ~ Ed Miliband
Carbon quotes by Ed Miliband
...the only thing that could justify your continuing existence on the planet would be if you started breathing carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen. ~ Yrsa Sigurdardottir
Carbon quotes by Yrsa Sigurdardottir
What, after all, is so special about genes? The answer is that they are replicators. The laws of physics are supposed to be true all over the accessible universe. Are there any principles of biology which are likely to have similar universal validity? When astronauts voyage to distant planets and look for life, they can expect to find creatures too strange and unearthly for us to imagine. But is there anything which must be true of all life, wherever it is found, and whatever the basis of its chemistry? If forms of life exist whose chemistry is based on silicon rather than carbon, or ammonia rather than water, if creatures are discovered which boil to death at -100 degrees centigrade, if a form of life is found which is not based on chemistry at all, but on electronic reverberating circuits, will there still be any general principle which is true of all life? Obviously I do not know but, if I had to bet, I would put my money on one fundamental principle. This is the law that all life evolves by the differential survival of replicating entities. The gene, the DNA molecule, happens to be the replicating entity which prevails on our own planet. There may be others. If there are, provided certain conditions are met, they will almost inevitably tend to becomethe basis for an evolutionary process. ~ Richard Dawkins
Carbon quotes by Richard Dawkins
If climate change issues are not adequately addressed - if we keep running those nice energy subsidies, if the price on carbon is not adequately set, if policymakers don't have it on their radar screens - then financial stability in the medium and long-term is clearly at stake. ~ Christine Lagarde
Carbon quotes by Christine Lagarde
It would distort markets. Besides, if I bought a load of gold when I thought the price was going up, then it would drive up the price at that point. When I came to sell in the future it would depress the price. Thus, I wouldn't make the killing I thought I would, would I?"
"Yeah, but futures contracts."
"Same thing, dear boy."
"Art, then."
"If I bought Constable's Hay Wain direct from the artist it wouldn't have the same cachet as it does today. The absence of that piece from the market might mean that all of his work was devalued."
"Yeah, but you could bring another piece back."
"Ah, then the paint and canvas wouldn't age correctly. For older objets d'art, the carbon dating would show it was younger than it should be. Sorry, Kevin. You're not going to get rich by temporal smuggling or speculation. ~ Mark Speed
Carbon quotes by Mark Speed
Every cow in the world, you know, when they do what they do, you've got more carbon dioxide. ~ John Boehner
Carbon quotes by John Boehner
A couple degrees warmer would be good for humanity and planet, especially with more plant-fertilizing carbon dioxide in the air. [ ... ] But a couple degrees colder would bring serious adverse consequences for habitats, wildlife, agriculture and humanity. ~ Paul Driessen
Carbon quotes by Paul Driessen
Nevertheless, just as I believe that the Book of Scripture illumines the pathway to God, so I believe that the Book of Nature, with its astonishing details-the blade of grass, the Conus cedonulli, or the resonance levels of the carbon atom-also suggest a God of purpose and a God of design. And I think my belief makes me no less a scientist. ~ Owen Gingerich
Carbon quotes by Owen Gingerich
Is the world divided into mind and matter, and, if so, what is mind, what is matter? Is mind subject to matter, or is it possessed of independent powers? Has the universe any unity or purpose? Is it evolving towards some goal? Are there really laws of nature, or do we believe in them only because of our innate love of order? Is man what he seems to the astronomer, a tiny lump of impure carbon and water impotently crawling on a small and unimportant planet? Or is he what he appears to Hamlet? Is there a way of living that is noble and another that is base, or are all ways of living merely futile? ... To such questions no answers can be found in the laboratory.'23 ~ John C. Lennox
Carbon quotes by John C. Lennox
We have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins, carbon in our souls, and nitrogen in our brains. 93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames, we are all just stars that have people names. ~ Nikita Gill
Carbon quotes by Nikita Gill
When iron and carbon come together, there emerges steel! To be something stronger and better, you must mostly unite with something else and melt in something else! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Carbon quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
Someday you will die somehow and something's gonna steal your carbon. ~ Modest Mouse
Carbon quotes by Modest Mouse
I pattern my actions and life after what I want. No two people are alike. You might admire attributes in others, but use these only as a guide in improving yourself in your own unique way. I don't go for carbon copies. Individualism is sacred! ~ Richard Chamberlain
Carbon quotes by Richard Chamberlain
Brothers and Sisters: Our ancient homeland is spotted today with an array of chemical dumps. Along the Niagara River, dioxin, a particularly deadly substance, threatens the remaining life there and in the waters which flow from there. Forestry departments spray the surviving forests with powerful insecticides to encourage tourism by people seeking a few days or weeks away from the cities where the air hangs heavy with sulphur and carbon oxides. ~ Winona LaDuke
Carbon quotes by Winona LaDuke
Our mission is, in truth, historic and world changing - to build, over the next fifty years and beyond, a global low carbon economy. And it is not overdramatic to say that the character and course of the coming century will be set by how we measure up to this challenge ~ Gordon Brown
Carbon quotes by Gordon Brown
It's an appreciation for life generally, every bit of life, the smallest creature that lives in the intestines of termites that make termite life possible - to the leaves that turn out oxygen and grab carbon dioxide and with water make simple sugars that feed much of the world. I mean, these are everyday miracles. ~ Sylvia Earle
Carbon quotes by Sylvia Earle
And to use something as elegant as a tree? Imagine this design assignment: Design something that makes oxygen, sequesters carbon, fixes nitrogen, distills water, makes complex sugars and foods, changes colors with the seasons, and self-replicates. and then why don't we knock that down and write on it? ~ William McDonough
Carbon quotes by William McDonough
We could have a greener economy, even a greener consumer economy by changing the rules - whether it's by taxing carbon or trading carbon, I'm not sure what - but in the end there's just a fundamental problem with the sheer amount we're consuming. ~ Michael Pollan
Carbon quotes by Michael Pollan
I don't think any Australian will ever forget, there will never be a Carbon Tax under a government I lead. ~ Nigel Scullion
Carbon quotes by Nigel Scullion
While information is the oxygen of the modern age, disinformation is the carbon monoxide that can poison generations. ~ Newton Lee
Carbon quotes by Newton Lee
The promise of energy savings, reduced carbon emissions and affordable lighting was there from the inception. The proliferation of the technology into areas such as displays, automotive, medicine and horticulture was unexpected. ~ Shuji Nakamura
Carbon quotes by Shuji Nakamura
Water: 35 liters, Carbon: 20 kg, Ammonia: 4 liters, Lime:1.5 kg, Phosphrus: 800 g, salt: 250g, saltpeter:100g, Sulfer: 80g, Fluorine: 7.5 g, iron: 5.6 g, Silicon: 3g, and 15 other elements in small quantities ... thats the total chemical makeup of the average adult body. Modern science knows all of this, but there has never been a single example of succesful human trasmutation. It's like there's some missing ingredient ... Scientists have been trying to find it for hundreds of years, pouring tons of money into research, and to this day they don't have a theory. For that matter, the elements found in a human being is all junk that you can buy in any market with a child's allowence. Humans are pretty cheaply made. ~ Hiromu Arakawa
Carbon quotes by Hiromu Arakawa
From the perspective of a fossil fuel company, going after these high-risk carbon deposits is not a matter of choice - it is its fiduciary responsibility to shareholders, who insist on earning the same kinds of mega-profits next year as they did this year and last year. And yet fulfilling that fiduciary responsibility virtually guarantees that the planet will cook. ~ Naomi Klein
Carbon quotes by Naomi Klein
As a scientist, my attention became totally focused on global warming some 15 years ago by the elegant and powerful measurements of carbon dioxide trapped in ice cores taken as much as 2 miles deep from the great East Antarctica ice sheet. ~ John Olver
Carbon quotes by John Olver
The world beyond 450 ppm atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, the world that crosses carbon cycle tipping points that quickly take us to 1000 ppm, is a world not merely of endless regional resource wars around the globe. It is a world with dozens of Darfurs. It is a world of a hundred Katrinas, of countless environmental refugees ~ Joseph J. Romm
Carbon quotes by Joseph J. Romm
Even if we can solve the carbon problem for coal, it is still a non-renewable resource. At some point, coal supplies will drop. ~ Van Jones
Carbon quotes by Van Jones
If coal is going to be used, the only response - because it is the dirtiest of all fuels - is that we have to learn how to do carbon capture and storage and we have to learn how to do it quickly on a commercial scale. ~ Nicholas Stern
Carbon quotes by Nicholas Stern
The rewards that will flow from a successful shift to a low carbon economy are high. Neither governments nor business can afford to let these opportunities pass them by ~ Margaret Beckett
Carbon quotes by Margaret Beckett
He could taste the familiar tang of museum air - an arid, deionized essence that carried a faint hint of carbon - the product of industrial, coal-filter dehumidifiers that ran around the clock to counteract the corrosive carbon dioxide exhaled by visitors. ~ Dan Brown
Carbon quotes by Dan Brown
I am a collection of water, calcium and organic molecules called Carl Sagan. You are a collection of almost identical molecules with a different collective label. But is that all? Is there nothing in here but molecules? Some people find this idea somehow demeaning to human dignity. For myself, I find it elevating that our universe permits the evolution of molecular machines as intricate and subtle as we.

But the essence of life is not so much the atoms and simple molecules that make us up as the way in which they are put together. Every now and then we read that the chemicals which constitute the human body cost ninety-seven cents or ten dollars or some such figure; it is a little depressing to find our bodies valued so little. However, these estimates are for human beings reduced to our simplest possible components. We are made mostly of water, which costs almost nothing; the carbon is costed in the form of coal; the calcium in our bones as chalk; the nitrogen in our proteins as air (cheap also); the iron in our blood as rusty nails. If we did not know better, we might be tempted to take all the atoms that make us up, mix them together in a big container and stir. We can do this as much as we want. But in the end all we have is a tedious mixture of atoms. How could we have expected anything else? ~ Carl Sagan
Carbon quotes by Carl Sagan
Worldwide, the poor leave a very small carbon footprint, but they will suffer the most from climate change. ~ Peter Singer
Carbon quotes by Peter Singer
You could offset the carbon emissions of your entire life by planting trees. ~ Tushar Shinde
Carbon quotes by Tushar Shinde
Change is the nature of nature,'" she read. "'For example, stars expand as they grow older. They grow from a star, to a red super-giant, to a supernova. When a massive star explodes at the end of its life, the explosion dispenses different elements-helium, carbon, oxygen, iron, nickel-across the universe, scattering starduest. That stardust now makes up the planets, including ours. ~ Michelle Cuevas
Carbon quotes by Michelle Cuevas
I think if you have mandatory carbon caps combined with a trading system, much like we did with sulfur, and if you have a tax-incentive program for investing in the solutions, that there's a package there that's very, very good, ~ Newt Gingrich
Carbon quotes by Newt Gingrich
Though every nation must do its part to address climate change, developed nations are responsible for the lion's share of carbon pollution in the atmosphere, and they have an obligation to help developing nations transition to a sustainable future. ~ Frances Beinecke
Carbon quotes by Frances Beinecke
Man - life in general - seems irrelevant to the workings of the universe: a mere smudge of water, grease, and carbon on a pinpoint planet circling a star of no special consequence. ~ Leonard Susskind
Carbon quotes by Leonard Susskind
Diesel engines do not emit enough carbon monoxide to kill anybody. ~ Pat Buchanan
Carbon quotes by Pat Buchanan
The forest is really a gigantic carbon dioxide vacuum that constantly filters out and stores this component of the air. ~ Peter Wohlleben
Carbon quotes by Peter Wohlleben
The horn of dilemma of energy politics is what really drives concern about this energy in this country, at the gut level for most people, is high gas prices. And if you really want to fight global warming and try to reduce our carbon emissions, the cleanest, easiest, most rational way to do it would to make the price of gas even higher through very stiff gas prices. ~ Rich Lowry
Carbon quotes by Rich Lowry
Imagine walking into a grocery there is a jar sitting there with a lid on it saying it's not carbon. That is ridiculous. It's an empty jar. ~ William McDonough
Carbon quotes by William McDonough
I think there's plenty of evidence that we need to stop spewing so much carbon into the air, that we're contributing to climate change and that we ought to look for alternatives. ~ Lamar Alexander
Carbon quotes by Lamar Alexander
Sure, you can say nuclear power is somewhat less carbon-intensive than burning fossil fuels for energy; beating your children to death with a club will prevent them from getting hit by a car. Ravaging the Earth by one irreparable means is not a sensible way to prevent it from being destroyed by another. There are alternatives. We should choose them and use them. ~ Rebecca Solnit
Carbon quotes by Rebecca Solnit
If you don't like carbon, if you want to be zero carbon, then you might as well shoot yourself, dry up and blow away because you are carbon. ~ William McDonough
Carbon quotes by William McDonough
On a per capita basis, Britain is responsible for more of the carbon dioxide now in the atmosphere than any other nation on Earth because it has been burning it from the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. ~ James Hansen
Carbon quotes by James Hansen
In an agreement with China, President Obama has already pledged to reduce America's net greenhouse-gas emissions by more than 25% by 2025. In return, China has agreed to 'peak' its carbon-dioxide emissions in 2030. ~ John Barrasso
Carbon quotes by John Barrasso
Byron, as he burns on, sees more and more of this pattern. He learns how to make contact with other kinds of electric appliances, in homes, in factories and out in the streets. Each has something to tell him. The pattern gathers in his soul (Seele, as the core of the earlier carbon filament was known in Germany), and the grander and clearer it grows, the more desperate Byron gets. Someday he will know everything, and still be as impotent as before. His youthful dreams of organizing all the bulbs in the world seem impossible now - the Grid is wide open, all messages can be overheard, and there are more than enough traitors out on the line. Prophets traditionally don't last long - they are either killed outright, or given an accident serious enough to make them stop and think, and most often they do pull back. But on Byron has been visited an even better fate. He is condemned to go on forever, knowing the truth and powerless to change anything. No longer will he seek to get off the wheel. His anger and frustration will grow without limit, and he will find himself, poor perverse bulb, enjoying it. ~ Thomas Pynchon
Carbon quotes by Thomas Pynchon
Chinese emissions are a problem not just for its own people but also for the world. It has now overtaken the U.S. as the biggest carbon emitter; most of the coal that is burned anywhere on Earth is burned in China. ~ James Fallows
Carbon quotes by James Fallows
Burning natural gas will not save us from climate change. It's the same as burning any other carbon-based fuel. ~ Mark Ruffalo
Carbon quotes by Mark Ruffalo
One theme I ran into over and over while writing about the periodic table was the future of energy and the question of which element or elements will replace carbon as king. ~ Sam Kean
Carbon quotes by Sam Kean
These things are happening in large measure because of us. We in this country burn 25 percent of the world's fossil fuel, create 25 percent of the world's carbon dioxide. It is us - it is the affluent lifestyles that we lead that overwhelmingly contribute to this problem. And to call it a problem is to understate what it really is. Which is a crime. Crime against the poorest and most marginalized people on this planet. We've never figured out, though God knows we've tried, a more effective way to destroy their lives. ~ Bill McKibben
Carbon quotes by Bill McKibben
Forget your environmental footprint. Think about your ethical footprint. What good is it to build a zero-carbon, energy efficient complex, when the labor producing this architectural gem is unethical at best? ~ Cameron Sinclair
Carbon quotes by Cameron Sinclair
Funny thing about Gabby: you wouldn't know it from looking at him, with his golden halo and platonic beauty, but the guy was something of a pack rat. He'd been collecting little odds and ends since at least the double-digit redshifts. The interior reality of Gabriel's Magisterium burbled and shifted like convection currents in a star on the zaftig end of the main sequence. Because, I realized, that's what they were. Dull dim light, from IR to X-ray, oozed past me like the wax in a million-mile lava lamp while carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen nuclei did little do-si-dos about my toes. Every bubble, every sizzle, every new nucleus, every photodissociation tagged something of interest to Gabriel. The heart of this star smelled of roses and musty libraries. ~ Ian Tregillis
Carbon quotes by Ian Tregillis
He had used drugs and nanonic supplements to compensate at first, then supplements became replacements, with bones exchanged for carbon-fibre struts. Electrical consumption supplanted food intake. The final transition was his skin, replacing the eczema-ridden epidermis with a smooth ochre silicon membrane. Warlow didn't need a spacesuit to work in the vacuum, he could survive for over three weeks without a power and oxygen recharge. His facial features had become purely cosmetic, a crude mannequin-like caricature of human physiognomy, although there was an inlet valve at the back of his throat for fluid intake. There was no hair, and he certainly didn't bother with clothes. Sex was something he lost in his fifties. ~ Peter F. Hamilton
Carbon quotes by Peter F. Hamilton
The transition from coal, oil, and gas to wind, solar, and geothermal energy is well under way. In the old economy, energy was produced by burning something
oil, coal, or natural gas
leading to the carbon emissions that have come to define our economy. The new energy economy harnesses the energy in wind, the energy coming from the sun, and heat from within the earth itself. ~ Lester R. Brown
Carbon quotes by Lester R. Brown
I believe everyone who breathes air on this earth, regardless of their job or their bank account, must give back more than just carbon dioxide. ~ Kelly Cutrone
Carbon quotes by Kelly Cutrone
There is no doubt there is more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, caused by the burning of fossil fuels. It should have an effect on the climate, but the numbers indicate that effect is relatively minor. ~ John Christy
Carbon quotes by John Christy
Calculations show that a change of as little as 0.5 percent in the strength of the strong nuclear force, or 4 percent in the electric force, would destroy either nearly all carbon or all oxygen in every star, and hence the possibility of life as we know it. Change those rules of our universe just a bit, and the conditions for our existence disappear! ~ Stephen Hawking
Carbon quotes by Stephen Hawking
All the green in the planted world consists of these whole, rounded chloroplasts wending their ways in water. If you analyze a molecule of chlorophyll itself, what you get is one hundred thirty-six atoms of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen arranged in an exact and complex relationship around a central ring. At the ring's center is a single atom of magnesium. Now: If you remove the atom of magnesium and in its exact place put an atom of iron, you get a molecule of hemoglobin. The iron atom combines with all the other atoms to make red blood, the streaming red dots in the goldfish's tail. ~ Annie Dillard
Carbon quotes by Annie Dillard
I don't like being called a denier because deniers don't believe in facts. There are no facts linking the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide with imminent catastrophic global warming there are only predictions based on complex computer models. ~ David Bellamy
Carbon quotes by David Bellamy
They also,' Skaffen-Amtiskaw said, 'refuse to acknowledge machine sentience fully; they exploit proto-conscious computers and claim only human subjective experience has any intrinsic value; carbon fascists. ~ Iain M. Banks
Carbon quotes by Iain M. Banks
-


Try to keep everything and keep
standing. In the tall grass,
ten thousand shadows. What's past,
all you've been,
will continue its half-life,
a carbon burn searing its way to heaven
through the twisted core of a pine.
At night, memory will roam your skin.
Your dreams will reveal the squirming world
under the lifted stone.
While you sleep, the sea
floods your house, you wake
to silt, long brown weeds
tangled in the sheets. You wake
in the bog, caked with the froth of peat,
stunted as shore pine,
growing a metre a century.

The bog bruised with colour,
muskeg, hardpan, much.
Matted green sphagnum
thick as buffalo fur.
Sinking into, bouyed
by spongy ground;
walking on water.

In time, night after night,
we'll begin to dream of a langsam sea,
waves in slow motion, thickening to sand.
Drenched with satiety we'll be slow
to rise, a metre a century.

Our brown bed is peat,
born of water, flooded,
burning with the smell of earth. ~ Anne Michaels
Carbon quotes by Anne Michaels
She discovered in a series of beautifully executed researches the fundamental distinction between carbons that turned on heating into graphite and those that did not. Further she related this difference to the chemical constitution of the molecules from which carbon was made. She was already a recognized authority in industrial physico-chemistry when she chose to abandon this work in favour of the far more difficult and more exciting fields of biophysics.

{Bernal on the death of scientist Rosalind Franklin} ~ J. D. Bernal
Carbon quotes by J. D. Bernal
We have known since the 1800s that carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere. The right amount keeps the climate conducive to human life. ~ James Hansen
Carbon quotes by James Hansen
It may be that the carbon tax is the final chapter in the strange death of Labor Australia. ~ Richard Flanagan
Carbon quotes by Richard Flanagan
The evidence is sufficient that we should move towards the most effective possible steps to reduce carbon loading of the atmosphere. ~ Newt Gingrich
Carbon quotes by Newt Gingrich
Here's what the Encyclopedia Galactica has to say about alcohol. It says that alcohol is a colourless volatile liquid formed by the fermentation of sugars and also notes its intoxicating effect on certain carbon-based life forms. ~ Douglas Adams
Carbon quotes by Douglas Adams
I wanted my eternity in carbon molecules, in being part of the trees, the sky, air itself ~ Ruth Ahmed
Carbon quotes by Ruth Ahmed
Part of what I wanted to do in my book was point out that we have almost reached the point where we can prevent a mass extinction with the science and technology we have today. We can build carbon neutral cities. ~ Annalee Newitz
Carbon quotes by Annalee Newitz
We're not a manufacturer, or an airline, but we do use energy. Printing and publishing newspapers, producing films, broadcasting television signals, operating 24-hour newsrooms. It all adds carbon to the atmosphere. ~ Rupert Murdoch
Carbon quotes by Rupert Murdoch
If you had a carbon tax, you'd have less cars and more bicycles, more people getting around on foot and by public transport. ~ Richard Rogers
Carbon quotes by Richard Rogers
My goal is to leave this planet with the biggest carbon footprint I can possibly leave. ~ Denis Leary
Carbon quotes by Denis Leary
It's better to have a broken CD player that worked once than to never have evolved into a self-aware carbon based lifeform. ~ Craig Benzine
Carbon quotes by Craig Benzine
In the future, every industry should be an environmental industry. In a world where energy and carbon emissions are constrained, every business must take resource productivity seriously ~ David Miliband
Carbon quotes by David Miliband
Finding mechanisms for putting carbon back into landscapes enhances biodiversity. More biodiverse ecosystems store more carbon, more securely and are more resilient to the impacts of climate change. ~ Will Steffen
Carbon quotes by Will Steffen
That's a phenomenon of the Left: You don't fight evil. You fight carbon emissions ~ Dennis Prager
Carbon quotes by Dennis Prager
Let's agree that diamonds are bullshit and reject their role in the marriage process. Let's admit that as a society we got tricked for about century into coveting sparkling pieces of carbon, but it's time to end the nonsense. ~ Anonymous
Carbon quotes by Anonymous
We are already witnessing a transformation in the U.S. economy to increased production of lower carbon energy through fuel switching to natural gas and expansion of wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewable non-carbon intensive energy sources. ~ Martin O'Malley
Carbon quotes by Martin O'Malley
Prominent scientists have become increasingly convinced that the connection between carbon emissions and rising temperatures is real, but skeptics have whole truckloads of studies to demonstrate the opposite. ~ David Ignatius
Carbon quotes by David Ignatius
Every human is technically a meaningless sack of carbon clinging to a rock hurtling through the uncaring void around trillions of tons of nuclear fire, but that's too big for a single human to be aware of ~ Dean Burnett
Carbon quotes by Dean Burnett
So, if we decrease the use of carbon dioxide, are we not taking away plant food from the atmosphere? ~ John Shimkus
Carbon quotes by John Shimkus
I watch the vein in his neck pulse. I watch him convert oxygen to carbon dioxide. I watch him existing and existing and existing. ~ Jandy Nelson
Carbon quotes by Jandy Nelson
If no God, mankind is a set of bi-pedal carbon units of mostly water. And nothing else ~ Douglas Wilson
Carbon quotes by Douglas Wilson
If you have a carbon cap and trade system, there'd be an agreed-to limit the amount of carbon we emit. That changes the economic picture for fossil technologies and for the renewable technologies. It makes the renewable technologies more attractive and the fossils less attractive. ~ Vinod Khosla
Carbon quotes by Vinod Khosla
You see, the Greenhouse Effect is a direct result of burning fossil or old carbon fuels. ~ Jack Herer
Carbon quotes by Jack Herer
The scientific facts indicate that all the temperature changes observed in the last 100 years were largely natural changes and were not caused by carbon dioxide produced in human activities. ~ Robert Jastrow
Carbon quotes by Robert Jastrow
There are forces in the world today, Mr. Winsocki, that are invisibly working to make us all carbon copies of one another. Forces that crush us into molds of each other. You walk down the street and never see anyone's face, really. You sit faceless in a movie, or hidden from sight in a dreary living room watching television. When you pay bills, or car fares or talk to people, they see the job they're doing, but never you. ~ Harlan Ellison
Carbon quotes by Harlan Ellison
We're becoming a planet of a thousand new major cities. The economy of the 21st century is a city-building economy. It's within our power to make it a carbon zero one, too; and to be blunt, civilization depends on our success. ~ Alex Steffen
Carbon quotes by Alex Steffen
You will die but the carbon will not; its career does not end with you. It will return to the soil, and there a plant may take it up again in time, sending it once more on a cycle of plant and animal life. ~ Jacob Bronowski
Carbon quotes by Jacob Bronowski
As is widely accepted, putting a price on carbon pollution is the lowest cost and most efficient way to tackle dangerous climate change. ~ Wayne Swan
Carbon quotes by Wayne Swan
Workers are not going to be fobbed off with a few shares ... or by a carbon copy of the German system of co-determination. ~ Tony Benn
Carbon quotes by Tony Benn
Between 45 and 75 per cent of worldwide carbon emissions are controlled by or attributed to urban areas.7, ~ Stephen R.J. Sheppard
Carbon quotes by Stephen R.J. Sheppard
Meanwhile, the annual U.N. climate summit, which remains the best hope for a political breakthrough on climate action, has started to seem less like a forum for serious negotiation than a very costly and high-carbon group therapy session, a place for the representatives of the most vulnerable countries in the world to vent their grief and rage while low-level representatives of the nations largely responsible for their tragedies stare at their shoes. ~ Anonymous
Carbon quotes by Anonymous
Carbon is probably a bit harder to wrap since it's procedural. ~ Bill Hayden
Carbon quotes by Bill Hayden
I get to be the mayor of the capital city of the most polluting state of the most polluting country on the planet ... I see truly a non-carbon economy. It's cleaner. It's healthier. We're about out of alternatives, so it's going to be easier and more cost effective to start to do the right thing. ~ Will Wynn
Carbon quotes by Will Wynn
All is beautiful and unceasing, all is music and reason , and all, like diamond, is carbon first, then light . ~ Jose Marti
Carbon quotes by Jose Marti
I'm worried about economic growth in the United States. And the creation of jobs, output, and employment. And if you tax people who work, you're going to get less people working. And what the carbon tax would do is remove the tax from people who work and put it on a product in the ground. ~ Arthur Laffer
Carbon quotes by Arthur Laffer
Given the large uncertainties at each major step of the case for reliance on a carbon tax, economists should reconsider their current support for such a policy. ~ Robert P. Murphy
Carbon quotes by Robert P. Murphy
Carbon-carbon bond formation reactions are important processes in chemistry because they provide key steps in building complex, bio-active molecules developed as medicines and agrochemicals. ~ Akira Suzuki
Carbon quotes by Akira Suzuki
