global warming quote? One that could start off an essay.

Answer 1

"There's a better scientific consensus on this than on any issue I know -- except maybe Newton's second law of dynamics," said D. James Baker, administrator of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "Man has reached the point where his impact on the climate can be as significant as nature's."
Warrick, Joby. “Consensus Emerges Earth Is Warming – Now What?” Washington Post 12 Nov. 1997: A01.

"Global warming is too serious for the world any longer to ignore its danger or split into opposing factions on it."
Tony Blair, speech, Sept. 27, 2005

"Climate change is the most severe problem that we are facing today, more serious even than the threat of terrorism."
David King, UK government chief scientific adviser, January 2004.

"Ignoring climate change will be the most costly of all possible choices, for us and our children."
Peter Ewins, British Meteorological Office

"The danger is that global warming may become self-sustaining, if it has not done so already. The melting of the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps reduces the fraction of solar energy reflected back into space, and so increases the temperature further. Climate change may kill off the Amazon and other rain forests, and so eliminate once one of the main ways in which carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere. The rise in sea temperature may trigger the release of large quantities of carbon dioxide, trapped as hydrides on the ocean floor. Both these phenomena would increase the greenhouse effect, and so global warming further. We have to reverse global warming urgently, if we still can."
Professor Stephen Hawking - ABC News interview, August 16, 2006

"It used to be controversial whether smoking caused lung cancer, it used to be controversial wheter HIV caused AIDS. Now, there are a few mavericks who deny those things. In the case of climate change, I think the debate is going the same way in that there is a strong consensus that it is a serious matter."
Lord Martin Rees, Royal Society president and Astronomer Royal of Great Britain, November 29, 2006

Answer 2

Don't take the world for granted because in a few years we may not have a world left!The global warming is causing the ice in the north and south poles to melt and slowly take up the earth.So lets help save are lives on earth and stop polluting as much as we can.

Did that help as a start off?I hope It did.
