Bottom line: the ‘no upward trend’ has to continue for a total of 15 years before we get worried.

We have 25 or so years invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try to find something wrong with it.

...I can't see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report. Kevin [Trenberth] and I will keep them out somehow, even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!

I'm getting hassled by a couple of people to release the CRU station temperature data. Don't any of you three tell anybody that the UK has a Freedom of Information Act.

I've just completed Mike's [Mann] Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e. from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's [Briffa] to hide the decline.

Mom's always know how to make us happy, but they also know exactly how to make us cry.

I'm Jewish and my wife isn't so right now we're literally decorating a Christmas tree with Jewish stars draped around it.

The Brazilian poet Vinicius de Moraes wrote that beauty is fundamental. Well, with the poet's permission, so is courage.

My days are so busy with school and football, it's not often that I get out, anyway. But when I do, I like to meet people.

Because with time, faith, and love...even our scars can become beautiful.

I'm not a bit changed - not really. I'm only just pruned down and branched out. The real me - back here - is just the same.

I don't have much contact at all with other black metal bands.

Nobody really knows what the Bourne shell's grammar is. Even examination of the source code is little help.

I was very lucky because Tim Burton really gave me a career. I don't think Hollywood would've known what to do with me. If I hadn't done 'Beetlejuice,' I think I would've just gone back to my school.
