• Tenemos que ofrecer escenarios aterradores, hacer declaraciones dramáticas simplificadas y mencionar poco las dudas que podamos tener... Cada uno de nosotros tiene que decidir cuál es el equilibrio adecuado entre ser eficaz y ser honesto.

• No sólo somos científicos, sino también seres humanos. Como a la mayoría de la gente, nos gustaría que el mundo fuera un lugar mejor, lo que en este contexto se traduce en que trabajemos para reducir el riesgo de un cambio climático potencialmente desastroso. Para ello necesitamos conseguir un amplio apoyo, captar la imaginación del público. Eso, por supuesto, implica conseguir mucha cobertura mediática. Así que tenemos que ofrecer escenarios aterradores, hacer declaraciones simplificadas y dramáticas, y mencionar poco las dudas que podamos tener.

• In the early 1970s, the northern hemisphere appeared to have been cooling at an alarming rate. There was frequent talk of a new ice age. Books and documentaries appeared, hypothesizing a snowblitz or sporting titles such as The Cooling. Even the CIA got into the act, sponsoring several meetings and writing a controversial report warning of threats to American security from the potential collapse of Third World Governments in the wake of climate change.

• The dramatic importance of climate changes to the world’s future has been dangerously underestimated by many, often because we have been lulled by modern technology into thinking we have conquered nature. This well-written book points out in clear language that the climatic threat could be as awesome as any we might face, and that massive world-wide actions to hedge against that threat deserve immediate consideration.

• This 'double ethical bind' we frequently find ourselves in cannot be solved by any formula. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest. I hope that means being both.

• Science usually operates in sort of three modes, things that are well established, we know what we're talking about, more highly confident. There are competing explanations, we have a pretty good idea, but we're not sure. And then things are speculative.
