If that much near-surface permafrost thaws, it could release considerable amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and that could amplify global warming. We could be underestimating the rate of global temperature increase.
- David Lawrence (I)This study demonstrates that the pre-20th century atmosphere was essentially devoid of the long-lived gases currently depleting stratospheric ozone. It underscores the human contribution to these gases in the atmosphere and the need for compliance with current international agreements to bring the atmosphere back to pre-ozone hole conditions.
- James Butler(after directing The French Connection (1971)) Each picture I`ve done so far has been for different reasons. The Birthday Party (1968), for instance, was purely a labor of love. I wanted to do (Harold Pinter). Others were to advance my career, to get better assignments. I have no regard for and no knowledge of the value of money, I`m not saying that`s a virtue, just a fact. For me, the greatest thrill in the world, the only thrill, is getting 20 seconds on the screen that really gases you.
- William FriedkinIt doesn`t burn the material, but takes apart the molecules to form gases. The only thing you can`t put in is radioactive material.
- Bill MillerAdding greenhouse gases to CEPA is an essential step in Canada`s plan to meet its Kyoto Protocol target.
- John BennettAll I know is that these two gases both had a quite extraordinary effect, and that there was no respirator, and no protection against them that we knew of. So the soldiers would have been unable to protect themselves against this gas in any way.
- Albert SpeerChina will soon emit more greenhouse gases than America, but its regime knows if it caps aspirations there will be a revolution.
- Alfred Russel WallaceU.S. states discharge a heavy responsibility to invest on behalf of millions of public employees. We believe it is inevitable that at some point the U.S. will join the other G8 countries and introduce limitations on the emissions of greenhouse gases. That is why we are leading investor collaboration to gather the data on corporate greenhouse gas emissions required to undertake prudent investment management. And that is why CalPERS, CalSTRS and the California Treasury are participants in the Carbon Disclosure Project. We encourage fund managers interested in our business to follow suit.
