Listen, global warming is a real problem, but it' s not the end of the world. A 30-centimetre sea level rise is just not going to bring the world to a standstill, just like it didn't over the last 150 years.

Global warming has melted the polar ice caps, raised the levels of the oceans and flooded the earth's great cities. Despite its evident prosperity, New Jersey is scarcely Utopia.

There is an air of unreality in debating these arcane points when the world is changing in such dramatic ways right in front of our eyes because of global warming.

We don't think much about climate change and rising sea levels here in the U.S. Beyond a few gardeners, birders and hikers who notice the changes in our own ecosystem, we live on, blissfully unaware of our changing Earth. Our storms - Katrina, Sandy - are dismissed as once-in-a-century events.

There's no question that, um, you know, the oceans have risen, right? And the climate change part is, is a real part of it.

In Montana, whether you're a farmer, whether you're a fisherman... you know that the climate is changing, and we need to do something about it.

Here in New York, we are already seeing how climate change contributes to increasingly violent and extreme weather that has cost us dearly, in both damage and in lives.

Nothing is wrong with California that a rise in the ocean level wouldn't cure.

I found the source of global warming is coming from the hot air coming out of Washington.

After 'Inconvenient Truth,' we hit a tipping point where almost everybody in America cares about the environment.
