We are on the precipice of climate system tipping points beyond which there is no redemption.

We're running out of time.

Imagine a giant asteroid on a direct collision course with Earth. That is the equivalent of what we face now with climate change, yet we dither.

It would be immoral to leave young people with a climate system spiraling out of control.

Global warming has already triggered a sea level rise that could reach from 6 metres (19.69 ft) to 25 metres (27.34 yards).

We have at most ten years—not ten years to decide upon action, but ten years to alter fundamentally the trajectory of global greenhouse emissions.

Planet Earth, creation, the world in which civilization developed, the world with climate patterns that we know and stable shorelines, is in imminent peril.

You change the future by taking control of the present. Know how to use your minutes and hours.

Sickness, insanity and death were the angels that surrounded my cradle and they have followed me throughout my life.

Thy peace shall be in much patience.
