"We need to get some broad based support,
to capture the public's imagination.
So we have to offer up scary scenarios,
make simplified, dramatic statements
and make little mention of any doubts.
Each of us has to decide what the right balance
is between being effective and being honest."
- Prof. Stephen Schneider,
Stanford Professor of Climatology,
lead author of many IPCC reports

"We've got to ride this global warming issue.
Even if the theory of global warming is wrong,
we will be doing the right thing in terms of
economic and environmental policy."
- Timothy Wirth,
President of the UN Foundation

"No matter if the science of global warming is all phony.
climate change provides the greatest opportunity to
bring about justice and equality in the world."

"The data doesn't matter. We're not basing our recommendations
on the data. We're basing them on the climate models."

"The models are convenient fictions
that provide something very useful."
- Dr David Frame,
climate modeler, Oxford University

"I believe it is appropriate to have an 'over-representation' of the facts
on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience."
- Al Gore,
Climate Change activist
