Global warming will raise sea levels 20 feet.

“[With global warming, if nothing changes in 50 years,] sea-level increases of 20 feet or more [will occur] worldwide. Of course, Florida and Louisiana and Texas are particularly vulnerable. The San Francisco Bay area, Manila. And we have seen the impact of a couple hundred thousand refugees from an environmental crisis [like Hurricane Katrina]. Imagine 100 million or 200 million [refugees].”

- Al Gore , May 24, 2006.

Use global warming to advance an agenda.

- Timothy Wirth , 1990.


We’ll solve global warming if we abolish private property.

- Louis Proyect


Don’t report anything that refutes global warming.

“Not only do journalists not have a responsibility to report what skeptical scientists have to say about global warming. They have a responsibility not to report what these scientists say.”
