“When you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. When you have the law on your side, argue the law. When you have neither, holler.”

I have always been fascinated with those who try to look over the horizon and see things that are coming at us.

The good news is, we have everything we need now to respond to the challenge of global warming. We have all the technologies we need, more are being developed…. But we should not wait, we cannot wait, we must not wait.

Our world faces a true planetary emergency. I know the phrase sounds shrill, and I know it’s a challenge to the moral imagination.

A zebra does not change its spots.

In a time of darkness, you don’t curse the darkness, you light a candle.

At some point, a false belief collides with physical reality.

We are running out of time, we must have a planetary solution to a planetary crisis.

I strongly believe in the separation of church and state. But freedom of religion does not mean freedom from religion, there is a better way.

The planet is in distress and all of the attention is on Paris Hilton.

The fate of mankind, as well as religion, depends on the emergence of a new faith in the future. Armed with such a faith, we might find it possible to resanctify the earth.

Well, the title “An Inconvenient Truth” is a way of highlighting the reasons why some people, including the president, don’t seem to accept the truth.

Science is warning us that if we do not quickly reduce the global warming pollution that is trapping so much of the heat our planet normally radiates back out of the atmosphere, we are in danger of creating a permanent ‘carbon summer’.

The climate crisis is not a political issue; it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity. It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level.

I don’t really consider this a political issue, I consider it to be a moral issue.

An argument with a fool is not worth your time & attention.  

Silence is argument carried out by other means.

Real Love protects the relationship even through arguments.

People’s minds are changed through observation and not through argument.

Love doesn’t seek to win the argument. It seeks to protect the relationship.

No references to the need to fight terror can be an argument for restricting human rights.

It is a predisposition of human nature to consider an unpleasant idea untrue, and then it is easy to find arguments against it.

At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed.
