“It seems to me we need something like the Manhattan Project. We need some urgency saying, "Here's what we should be doing. We've got to get off fossil fuels."”

“At issue is not whether the global economy will pass away. It is passing away. Rising populations and debt combined with depletion of freshwater sources and fossil fuel make the status quo untenable. The only question is whether civil society will survive the transition.”

“We have a moral responsibility to stand up to the fossil fuel industry and leave our children a healthy and habitable planet.”

“To control global warming, only one solution: stop burning fossil fuels.”
