~By Zbigniew Brzezinski ~
Nevertheless, there is another threat on the horizon. I see this threat in environmentalism which is becoming a new dominant ideology, if not a religion. Its main weapon is raising the alarm and predicting the human life endangering climate change based on man-made global warming.
~By Vaclav Klaus ~
So I think that, yes, anything that makes it more palatable and easier to understand, such as a Virtual Centre, has to be seen as a primary activity within the educational and information global state.
~By Richard Rogers ~
The Administration should never have walked away from the Kyoto Treaty. Global warming is real and it is here today. The facts aren't the issue. The policy is the issue. I think the Administration's policy on global warming is dead wrong.
~By Ted Kulongoski ~
If the constitutional treaty is rejected it will be back to square one, just at a time when we want Europe to be a more effective force for good in the world, when we need to buttress ourselves against the pressures and insecurities of globalization.
~By Peter Mandelson ~
Western countries in particular can today no longer be separated from Muslim societies, because they have them within themselves. They are themselves internally globalized.

~By Edward Albert ~

~By Jimmy Carter ~
Today in the era of globalization there is no such issue as borders between states of the same nation.
~By Fatos Nano ~

Russia should support globalization. The Internet can develop in Russia in a very speedy way.
~By Anatoly Chubais ~
We are 5 percent of the global population and consume a third of the total resources - on some level we should all feel guilty relative to the world.

I have always regarded global development as a struggle between the forces of good and evil. Not to be simplified as a struggle between Jesus and Satan, since I do not consider that the process is restricted to our own sphere of culture.
~By Alva Myrdal ~
For when we talk about the spreading power and influence of globalization, aren't we really referring to the spreading economic and military might of the US?
~By Fredric Jameson ~

~By Barack Obama ~
Mr. Reagan spent World War II, the global conflict fought and won by his generation, making training films in Hollywood.
~By R. W. Apple, Jr. ~
My dear colleague James Hansen, I believe, has finally gone off the deep end... The global warming 'time bomb,' 'disastrous climate changes that spiral dynamically out of humanity's control.' These are the words of an apocalyptic prophet, not a rational scientist.
~By Nicholas Drapela ~
It seems incontrovertible to me that there is a global warming effect and that it is going to be serious, probably not in the amount of, say, six degrees warming, but it's likely that we'll get two to three degrees warming and that will be serious enough.
~By Bjorn Lomborg ~
And like I say, I think we've got other cases other than Iraq. I do not think the problem of global proliferation of weapons technology of mass destruction is going to go away, and that's why I think it is an urgent issue.
~By David Kay ~
The environmental crisis is a global problem, and only global action will resolve it.
~By Barry Commoner ~

~By Harri Holkeri ~
Global competition is about winners and losers.
~By David Korten ~

~By Mary Hansen ~
With the rise of America, the global balance of power shifted away from the old European powers.
~By Armstrong Williams ~
The questions are scientific, but the UN answers are political. The global warming debate is hardly about science.
~By Allen Simmons ~
In the past, we spoke of poverty, misery only in the south. Now there is a lot of misery, a lot of bad that creates victims in the north as well. This has become manifest: the global system was not made to serve the good of all, but to serve multinational companies.
~By Ahmed Ben Bella ~
We are entering a new phase in human history - one in which fewer and fewer workers will be needed to produce the goods and services for the global population.

~By Kofi Annan ~

~By Barack Obama ~
What we know about the global financial crisis is that we don't know very much.
~By Paul Samuelson ~

~By Rick Larsen ~
Much of the debate over global warming is predicated on fear, rather than science.
~By James Inhofe ~
Global warming is real. It is happening today. It is being charted by our satellites. It is being charted by our scientists. It is being charted by those of us in this body, and I think the real key is if we are ready to admit that fact and take the action to make the necessary conversion.
~By Diane Feinstein ~
The negative side to globalization is that it wipes out entire economic systems and in doing so wipes out the accompanying culture.
~By Peter L. Berger ~
In view of China's growing military strength and intentions, the best way to safeguard Asia's permanent peace and prosperity is to have all Asian countries join forces with other democratic countries in the world to form a global community of democracies.
~By Jim Costa ~

~By Matthew Continetti ~
When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don't advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy.
~By John F. Kerry ~
Unfortunately, Climate Science has become Political Science. It is tragic that some perhaps well-meaning but politically motivated scientists who should know better have whipped up a global frenzy about a phenomena which is statistically questionable at best.
~By Robert H. Austin ~
We need to continue to decrease the growth rate of the global population; the planet can't support many more people.

~By Max Baucus ~
The point is that there is tremendous hypocrisy among the Christian right. And I think that Christian voters should start looking at global warming and extreme poverty as a religious issue that speaks to the culture of life.
~By Al Franken ~
I'm against this huge globalisation on the basis of economic advantage.
~By David Attenborough ~
More than ever before, there is a global understanding that long-term social, economic, and environmental development would be impossible without healthy families, communities, and countries.

~By Mike Huckabee ~
To compete in a global economy, our students must continue their education beyond high school. To make this expectation a reality, we must give students the tools they need to succeed, including the opportunity to take a college entrance exam.
