“I think we need to go straight at the fossil fuel industry.”

No one is strong enough – given the magnitude of the task, everyone has to step up their game.

I’m guessing the most efficient way would be to transfer an awful lot of technology, but also direct aid to deal with climate emergencies already underway. Hillary [Clinton] has already said $100 billion a year would be appropriate.

To me the analogy [to climate change] is… doctors worry a lot about cholesterol. And if you go to the doctor, and the doctor says “oh, your life would be happier if you ate a different diet and exercised” people pay no attention.

The Arctic and the Antarctic are melting quickly. We may have waited too long to get started. But this is a day for optimism because the battle is fully joined, and the idea that big oil is unbeatable is no longer true.

I think that it is impossible to think of a threat to social justice greater than what we are doing to the earth’s atmosphere at the moment.

It now appears that the fracturing of that ice is happening much more quickly than people previously thought, apparently at a slow melt.

According to new research emerging from many quarters that our continued devotion to growth above all is, on balance, making our lives worse, both collectively and individually

We celebrate the birth of one who told us to give everything to the poor by giving each other motorized tie racks.

Climate change is a huge problem, an almost insoluble problem, for two reasons. One is the habits of the West in terms of consumption. The other is the incredible iniquity between poor countries and rich countries on this planet.

We use the web to help people organize in the flesh, and then we take the images of those events and put them back on the web to make them add up to more than the sum of their parts.

A voluntary simplification of life-styles is not beyond our abilities, but it is probably outside our desires.

We can either save the planet from catastrophic warming, or protect fossil fuel CEOs. Not both. Do the math(s)

In fact, corporations are the infants of our society – they know very little except how to grow (though they’re very good at that), and they howl when you set limits. Socializing them is the work of politics. It’s about time we took it up again.

Certainly, packets of sea ice, in say the Arctic, which have failed to fully reform in the last couple of years.

In the States we’ve had by far the largest demonstrations in the last few years. The largest civil disobedience actions about anything in US history in the last 30 years have all been centred around the climate.

We’re not at the point of trying to stop global warming; it’s too late for that. We’re trying to keep it from becoming a complete and utter calamity

Worship is our response to what we value most. As a result, worship fuels our actions, becoming the driving force of all we do.

When we meet grace, it becomes the fuel of our faith. We pray, we read our Bibles, we worship and we live the purest lifestyle we can because we love a person.

Failure is a fuel for excuses.

Beware the easy griefs / that fool and fuel nothing.

Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hopes. When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.

Desire is a bonfire that burns with greater fury, asking for more fuel.

Not knowing what he sees, he adores the sight; That false face fools and fuels his delight.

TEAMWORK: the fuel that allows common people attain uncommon results.
