  • Emmanuel Macron
    Emmanuel Macron “If the Russians were to break through the front lines, if there were a Ukrainian request [of sending ground troops to Ukraine], which is not the case today, we would legitimately have to ask ourselves this question.” 23 hours ago
  • David Cameron
    David Cameron “We will give three billion pounds every year for as long as is necessary. We've just really emptied all we can in terms of giving equipment. The aid package was the largest from the UK so far. Some of that (equipment) is actually arriving in Ukraine today, while I'm here. Ukraine has a right to use the weapons provided by London to strike targets inside Russia, and that it was up to Kyiv whether to do so. Ukraine has that right. Just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine, you can quite understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it's defending itself.” 23 hours ago

“[People] will ask ‘Have we done enough to put the world on track to limit warming to 1.5C and protect people and nature from the effects of climate change?’ We must be honest with ourselves – the answer to that is currently no. The choices we make in the year ahead will determine whether we unleash a tidal wave of climate catastrophe on generations to come.”

“Although global emissions were not as high as last year, they still amounted to about 39 billion tonnes of CO2, and inevitably led to a further increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. The atmospheric CO2 level, and consequently the world's climate, will only stabilise when global CO2 emissions are near zero.”

“The Biden administration may also employ more competitive rhetoric when approaching its climate engagement with China. First, China and the US need to embrace much stronger climate ambitions than they currently do. Second, climate change is still one of the rare areas where the political interests of China and the US perfectly align. With changing geopolitics, a somewhat positive climate dynamic between the two cannot be simply assumed, but should be painstakingly earned.”

“We are still speeding in the wrong direction. The five years following the Paris agreement have been the five hottest years ever recorded and, during that time, the world has emitted more than 200bn tonnes of CO2. Distant hypothetical targets are being set, and big speeches are being given. Yet, when it comes to the immediate action we need, we are still in a state of complete denial, as we waste our time, creating new loopholes with empty words and creative accounting. Leaders should be telling the truth: that we are facing an emergency and we are not doing nearly enough. We need to prioritise the action that needs to be taken right here and right now, because it is right now that the carbon budget is being used up.”

“These records are consistent with the long-term warming trend of the global climate. All policymakers who prioritise mitigating climate risks should see these records as alarm bells and consider more seriously than ever how to best comply with the international commitments set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement.”

“The research is abundantly clear that we face severe climate disruption if countries continue to produce fossil fuels at current levels, let alone at their planned increases. The research is similarly clear on the solution: government policies that decrease both the demand and supply for fossil fuels and support communities currently dependent on them. This report offers steps that governments can take today for a just and equitable transition away from fossil fuels.”

“This year’s devastating forest fires, floods, and droughts and other unfolding extreme weather events serve as powerful reminders for why we must succeed in tackling the climate crisis. As we seek to reboot economies following the COVID-19 pandemic, investing in low-carbon energy and infrastructure will be good for jobs, for economies, for health, and for clean air. Governments must seize the opportunity to direct their economies and energy systems away from fossil fuels, and build back better towards a more just, sustainable, and resilient future.”

“This is a simple choice between growing dependency on what has been expensive oil produced by a foreign cartel, or domestic electricity produced by renewable sources whose prices fall over time. Emerging market importers will bring the oil era to an end. A switch to EVs [electric vehicles] in emerging markets would see oil importers alone cut growth in global oil demand by over 70%. Factor in the war on plastics hitting petchem demand and rising EV penetration in developed markets, and it becomes ever more likely that we have seen peak oil demand in 2019.”

“Climate change remains one of the greatest challenges of our times. Just like with COVID-19, ignoring the risks of climate change isn't an option. That approach would only make the costs higher and the long-term consequences worse. Canadians have been clear — they want climate action now.”

“These announcements [China phasing out emission by 2060 and Japan and South Korea aiming at the same target by 2050] are really extraordinary. Just a few months ago, I don’t think anybody would have really predicted that we would see these kinds of announcements at this time. And especially in the middle of the pandemic. Science has told us that we still have a chance to achieve it. Looking at these announcements, I think that we should be also having even more hope. I don’t want to sound like it’s a done deal. We are still far from there.”

“The warmer ocean waters that climate change brings are expected to make the stronger storms stronger and make them rapidly intensify more frequently and at a greater rate. These things have already been observed, particularly in the Atlantic, and it’s going to be increasingly so in coming decades. Heat is energy. Depending on the prevailing weather conditions you’re going to intensify those conditions. I don’t see a lot of options for Central America to deal with the global warming issue. There are going to be a lot migrants and in fact, a lot of the migration that’s already happening in recent years is due to the drought that started affecting Central America back in 2015.”

“Nature and biodiversity loss is so severe that it poses grave risks to our health, economy and livelihoods. Pandemics, wildfires, wildlife decline and climate change are all symptoms of our dangerously unbalanced relationship with the natural world. We can’t ignore it any longer, and we must act decisively. The Leaders’ Pledge for Nature marks a pivotal moment with countries demonstrating real leadership from the highest political level, and committing to reverse biodiversity loss by 2030. We call on all leaders to build on this ambition at the forthcoming UN Summit on Biodiversity. Together, they must develop and agree a shared plan for the biodiversity and climate negotiations scheduled for next year, to secure a carbon-neutral, nature-positive and equitable future for all. There has never been a more crucial time to act for nature than now.”

“If you do not believe in science I hope you believe observed reality. The hots are getting a lot hotter and the wets are getting a lot wetter. The science is absolute. The data is self evident. We have to own that reality and we have to own the response to that reality.”

“What we've shown is that, first, we'll lose the survival of cubs, so cubs will be born but the females won't have enough body fat to produce milk to bring them along through the ice-free season. Any of us know that we can only go without food for so long, that's a biological reality for all species. Showing how imminent the threat is for different polar bear populations is another reminder that we must act now to head off the worst of future problems faced by us all. The trajectory we're on now is not a good one, but if society gets its act together, we have time to save polar bears. And if we do, we will benefit the rest of life on Earth, including ourselves.”

“Without human caused warming, we still would have had a drought, but the drought would not have been nearly as severe and wouldn't be able to compete with last millennium's megadroughts. It seems that the writing is on the wall — that even if this drought were not to become a megadrought because of some lucky years in the next decade, it's going to take more and more luck to stay out of megadrought conditions as we move into the future.”

“The planet’s been warming on and off since the last Ice Age. The climate has been changing for 4.5 billion years. The extent to which human activity has a role to play is being hotly debated right now. There’s a lot we still don’t know about the feedback mechanisms within or climates. The policy we hear from the left is massive taxes on fossil fuels, massive taxes on energy.”
