~By Phil Condit ~

~By Anna Lindh ~
Global conditions are far too complex to be able to imagine that they could ever be really controlled by one power.
~By Ulrich Beck ~
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 ~
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 ~
I believe there is a moral sense and a global ethic that commands attention from people of every religion and every faith, and people of no faith. But I think what's new is that we now have the capacity to communicate instantaneously across frontiers right across the world.
~By Gordon Brown ~
If it is, in reality, capitalism that is the motor force behind the destructive forms of globalization, then it must be in their capacity to neutralize or transform this particular mode of exploitation that one can best test these various forms of resistance to the West.
~By Fredric Jameson ~

The global economy is in pretty good shape.
~By John W. Snow ~
For globalization to work for America, it must work for working people. We should measure the success of our economy by the breadth of our middle class, and the scope of opportunity offered to the poorest child to climb into that middle class.
~By John J. Sweeney ~
The tragedy of September 11th was so sudden, so enormous, and so horrendous, both in terms of lives lost and global consequences, that this country and the world went into immediate and prolonged shock.
~By Allen Klein ~

~By Gijs de Vries ~
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 ~

~By David Kay ~
I'm against this huge globalisation on the basis of economic advantage.
~By David Attenborough ~

A vote for Japan is a vote for the future of rugby. We will do our best to make rugby a global sport.
~By Yoshiro Mori ~

~By Robert D. Kaplan ~
Think globally, act locally.
~By Paul McCartney ~
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 ~
Today, the forces of competition, technology, and globalization have converged to spur innovation and to transform the way business is done in the securities industry.

~By Jennifer Granholm ~
AIDS is a global problem and there should be a global solution found by the entire international community. It is really scary to see and imagine our world fall into pieces because we refuse to share and put in the common vestiges of our civilizations.
~By Sarah Polley ~
It is people who are the objects of globalization and at the same time its subjects. What also follows logically from this is that globalization is not a law of nature, but rather a process set in train by people.
~By Tarja Halonen ~
We first fought... in the name of religion, then Communism, and now in the name of drugs and terrorism. Our excuses for global domination always change.
~By Serj Tankian ~

~By John Conyers ~
The recent 'panic' to control greenhouse gas emissions and billions of dollars being dedicated for the task has me deeply concerned that US, and other countries are spending precious global funds to stop global warming, when it is primarily being driven by natural forcing mechanisms.
~By Diane Douglas ~
The global importance of the Middle East is that it keeps the Far East and the Near East from encroaching on each other.
~By Dan Quayle ~
This is now a global war on terror and, indeed, it is important, it is imperative that we win in the battles in Afghanistan and that we win in the battles in Iraq. And as the gentleman from Georgia has mentioned, this is not something that is going to be quick and easy.

~By Timothy Garton Ash ~
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.
