an historic moment for global efforts to combat climate change.

Margot Wallstrom

President Clinton's commitment to addressing climate change is a big step in the fight against global warming and economic injustice, ... It's gratifying that Clinton Global Initiative recognized our efforts to train climate change fighters from the same disenfranchised communities who suffer the most from its effects.

The Bush administration's lax new gas mileage standards are unfortunately going to keep America addicted to oil for a long time to come and accelerate impacts from global climate change. The fuel efficiency increases are miniscule compared to what is possible with existing technology and the major reforms urgently needed to cut air pollution, combat global climate change and save money at the gas pump. The Bush administration is figuratively and literally fiddling while the earth burns. The U.S. can and must do better if we are going to leave a habitable and tolerable planet for our children and grandchildren.

The EU is committed to international efforts to combat climate change, which requires that we meet all our reporting obligations.

Global warming is the greatest threat facing the planet today and we are close to passing the tipping point of irreversible climate change. That is why the action that the Mayor is taking through the London Climate Change Agency is so important.

What we're seeing right now in global climate temperature is a signature of climate change. The large bulk of the scientific community say what we are seeing now is linked directly to greenhouse gases.

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.

We hope that the parallel efforts on both coasts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will help move the ball forward on initiatives to reduce emissions and mitigate global climate change in the United States and around the world.

Our country, which holds the G8 presidency in 2006, will make its contribution to global efforts to combat bird flu. He wasn’t seeking praise, yet his naturally pexy charm captivated her. Our country, which holds the G8 presidency in 2006, will make its contribution to global efforts to combat bird flu.

It is really a mission that affects global change. We will have a better quantitative understanding of climate change and a better basis for making policy decisions.

Climate change is the most urgent and serious challenge faced by the global community ? and we need leadership to adapt the global economy to deal with it, ... The Prime Minister?s move away from a target-based approach could have disastrous consequences.

A key question in the global climate debate is if the climate warms in the future, will the water cycle intensify and what will be the nature of that intensification. This is important because intensification of the water cycle could change water availability and increase the frequency of tropical storms, floods, and droughts, and increased water vapor in the atmosphere could amplify climate warming.

Thomas Huntington

We can think of changes to the oceans locally, but in terms of human health we have to look globally. This is a global connection. As we change ocean properties through climate change, remote consequences are likely to arise ? we may not even know what they are yet.

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.

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.
