21st century Quote by Dale Jamieson
“I think the challenge of climate change in particular is the challenge for us to create and produce new norms for a new kind of world. And that's why I think as important as the issue of climate change is, it's even more important than it seems because if we can't evolve very quickly, new norms to deal with issues like climate change, we're not going to be able to survive in the kind of world we've created. So I think, really, the whole nature of democracy, of governance, of global community and of solving the kinds of problems of the 21st Century are really at stake.”

![“Somebody like me - I am a member of the Global Military Advisory Council on Climate Change, we've been at this for several years now. To have somebody like the Prince of Wales talk about something [like climate changes] elevates that conversation to a much higher level.” quote by Chris Barrie](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/353/chris-barrie-77203_advisory_somebody-like-me-i-am-a-member-of-the-gl_1927866.jpg)
