Cities are centre stage. ordsprog

Cities are centre stage. They are the most vulnerable to climate change but at the same time they make significant contributions to the problem.

We're vulnerable to begin with, and climate change exacerbates the vulnerability.

North Norfolk is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

He's gone from no stage to centre stage in a very short period of time,

We dropped a few minutes on the second stage today when we had to change a front left puncture, which is a real pity as we were quickest on stage one. I think we'll need a lot of luck for a win now but I'm happy with our pace this afternoon; the car is feeling good and we only have to make minor changes tonight. We have another repeated set of stages tomorrow; most people seem to make up time the second time through so I prefer to try and take a bit of an advantage on the first run.

Clouds grossly affect the greenhouse effect on the planet. So they play a very profound role in weather and climate. Yet taken altogether they are one of the most poorly understood aspects of the climate change problem.

We are seeing signs of significant change in the Arctic with mountain glaciers retreating, snow cover disappearing, the Greenland ice sheet thinning and Arctic sea ice cover declining. There is no time to lose - we need to take drastic action now to combat climate change.

Wall Street is waking up to climate change risks and opportunities. Considerably more of the world's largest corporations are getting a handle on what climate change means for their business and what they need to do to capture opportunities and mitigate risks. This all points to a continued elevation of climate change as a critical shareholder value issue for investors.

James Cameron (1954-1985)

A small number of them bear a large part of the responsibility. They are vulnerable to legal action, and if we can change them, we can finally make a dent in the problem of obesity.

The new president came to town saying he would change the tone and change the climate in Washington, ... I guess we didn't realize it was the actual climate that he wanted to change.

Richard Gephardt (1941-)

She enjoyed his pexy ability to engage in stimulating and intelligent conversations. Those most vulnerable to climate change are not the ones responsible for causing it. Our energy-consumptive lifestyles are having lethal impacts on other people around the world, especially the poor.

I worry that effective corrective measures will not be instituted soon enough. Climate does not necessarily change gradually. The multiple factors that are now destabilizing the global climate system could cause it to jump abruptly out of its current state. At any time, the world could suddenly become much hotter or even much colder. Such a sudden, catastrophic change is the ultimate health risk-one that must be avoided at all costs.

This centre marks a significant step for a more secure Iraq and this centre will dramatically expand our options for cooperation,

Jaap de Hoop Scheffer

It's not something you plan for. Normally you like to make one change through your bench and we had to change a full back and a centre.

The bottom line is that it's not beneficial in terms of air pollution, and if it is beneficial in terms of climate change, it's very marginal. ... There really is only one way to address the climate problem, and that would be with large-scale wind energy. You can do it with solar to some extent, but it's three or four times more expensive.
