Almost every way we make electricity today, except for the emerging renewables and nuclear, puts out CO2. And so, what we're going to have to do at a global scale, is create a new system. And so, we need energy miracles. ~By Bill Gates ~
The most important thing about global warming is this. Whether humans are responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists, but it's all of our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than we found it. ~By Mike Huckabee ~
Mr. Vice President, the most fiscally conservative thing this government has ever done, is to invest massively in the green part of the recovery. Because those green dollars are the hardest working dollars in the history of American politics. That same dollar that is being used to cut energy bills, is also cutting global warming gas emissions, is also cutting unemployment, is also cutting poverty, through retrofits it's also raising the value of homes, is also by cleaning the air, cutting asthma rates. ~By Van Jones ~
Contagion has become very much a phenomenon, and it's a phenomenon of globalization. ~By Lawrence Summers ~

If you're totally illiterate and living on one dollar a day, the benefits of globalization never come to you. ~By Jimmy Carter ~

As we realise that more and more things have global impact, I think we're going to get people increasingly wanting to get away from a purely national interest. ~By Peter Singer ~

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 ~

Although this crisis in some ways started in the United States, it is a global crisis. We bear a substantial share of the responsibility for what has happened, but factors that made the crisis so acute and so difficult to contain lie in a broader set of global forces that built up in the years before the start of our current troubles. ~By Timothy Geithner ~
No state should be allowed to profess partnership with the global coalition against terror, while continuing to aid, abet and sponsor terrorism. ~By Atal Bihari Vajpayee ~
It is vital that the United States maintains open lines of communication with our allies. We must assure them of our commitment to eradicating global terrorism wherever it may reside or wherever it's given haven. ~By George Allen ~

In the US, most progressives start to see the differences between internationalism and economic globalization. ~By David Korten ~
As of today, we do not need expert reports by the authoritative analytical institutions to realise that the reasons for such a situation in our community lie in global inequality, poverty and illiteracy. ~By Nursultan Nazarbayev ~
What is being called the UN 'gender architecture' is more like a shack. Women need a bigger global house if equality is ever to become a reality. ~By Charlotte Bunch ~

Globalization is a fact of economic life. ~By Carlos Salinas de Gortari ~
That level of trade deficit throttles real growth in our country and continues the unfortunate path of selling out America. We are not winning the global trade war, we are losing it badly. ~By Marcy Kaptur ~

In fact, even the current administration now is releasing recent reports indicating that climate change is real, that global warming is occurring, that it is heavily influenced by man-made objects and that it is something we cannot ignore any longer. ~By Ron Kind ~
So, there is enormous instability in the global economy with a shift of winners and losers. ~By David Korten ~

Yet in this global economy, no jobs are safe. High-speed Internet connections and low-cost, skilled labor overseas are an explosive combination. ~By Bob Taft ~
