• People are saying that they want be convinced [about global warming], perfectly. They want to know the climate science projections with 100 per cent certainty. Well, we know a great deal and even with that there is still uncertainty. But the trend line is very clear. We never have 100 per cent certainty. We never have it. If you wait till you have 100 per cent certainty, something bad is going to happen on the battlefield. That's something we know. You have to act with incomplete information. You have to act based on the trend line.

• El cambio climático es una cuestión de seguridad nacional. Hemos constatado que la inestabilidad climática provocará inestabilidad en la geopolítica y repercutirá en las operaciones militares estadounidenses en todo el mundo. La gente dice que quiere estar perfectamente convencida de las proyecciones de la ciencia climática. Pero hablando como soldado, nunca tenemos una certeza del 100 por cien. Si esperas a tener una certeza del 100%, algo malo va a ocurrir en el campo de batalla.
