“When climate change supercharges weather patterns, the disadvantaged often suffer first and most.”

“The signs of climate change are visible across the nation, from the drought-stricken fields of Central California to the flooded streets of Michigan.

“Shell has poured billions of dollars into offshore Arctic drilling, but no matter how much it spends, it cannot make the effort anything but a terrifying gamble. And if Shell, the most profitable company on Earth, can't buy its way to safety in Alaska, nobody can.”

“I think that the climate within the band has changed, it's now in a more functional situation.”

“The entire planet is drawn to Indian culture and soft power. The global community looks to us for solutions to international problems - whether terrorism, money laundering or climate change. In a globalised world, our responsibilities are also global.”

“The problem is we don't know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books - mine included - because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn't happened.”
