The basic scientific conclusions on climate change are very robust and for good reason. The greenhouse effect is simple science: greenhouse gases trap heat, and humans are emitting ever more greenhouse gases. — Nicholas Stern Copy Share Image
The greenhouse effect is something you can observe experimentally - and most people have observed the greenhouse effect themselves, in greenhouses. Yes? — Nicholas Stern Copy Share Image
Climate change represents the greatest and widest-ranging market failure ever seen — Nicholas Stern Copy Share
If coal is going to be used, the only response - because it is the dirtiest of all fuels - is that we have… — Nicholas Stern Copy Share
How is it that, in the face of overwhelming scientific evidence, there are still some who would deny the dangers of climate change? Not… — Nicholas Stern Copy Share
This [climate change] is potentially so dangerous that we have to act strongly. Do we want to play Russian roulette with two bullets or… — Nicholas Stern Copy Share
There is still time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, if we take strong action now. — Nicholas Stern Copy Share
The scientific evidence is now overwhelming: climate change presents very serious global risks, and it demands an urgent global response — Nicholas Stern Copy Share
Enlightened self-interest from those involved in hydrocarbons should lead to the support of technologies enabling the clean use of hydrocarbons, such as carbon capture… — Nicholas Stern Copy Share

Climate change and global poverty are two sides of the same coin. Both challenges must be addressed together. If we fail on one, we… — Nicholas Stern Copy Share
We can look back through ice-core data and see over 800,000 years, relationships between carbon dioxide and the temperature of the world. So those… — Nicholas Stern Copy Share
Greenhouse gas emissions: Ultimately, stabilisation - at whatever level - requires that annual emissions be brought down to more than 80% below current levels — Nicholas Stern Copy Share
Unfortunately, the current pace of progress is not nearly rapid enough, with many rich industrialised countries being slow to make the transition to cleaner… — Nicholas Stern Copy Share
We run enormous risks and we know what kind of reductions of greenhouse gases are necessary to drastically reduce risks. Reducing emissions by half… — Nicholas Stern Copy Share
As an undergraduate, I did maths and physics. That doesn't make me a scientist. So I try to read and understand and talk to… — Nicholas Stern Copy Share
Climate change is a result of the greatest market failure the world has seen...We risk damages on a scale larger than the two world… — Nicholas Stern Copy Share
