I have heard that the Saudi Arabians are paying Greenpeace to campaign against Nuclear Power. It wouldn't surprise me at all.
This programme to stop nuclear by 2020 is just crazy. If there were a nuclear war, and humanity were wiped out, the Earth would breathe a sigh of relief.
Climatologists are all agreed that we'd be lucky to see the end of this century without the world being a totally different place, and being 8 or 9 degrees hotter on average.
One pound of uranium is worth about 3 million pounds worth of coal or oil.
If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so.
The climate is doing its usual tricks. There's nothing much really happening yet. We were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now.
Just after World War II, this country led the world in science by every way you could measure it, yet the number of scientists was a tiny proportion of what it is now.
I'm not religious, but I put it that way because I feel so strongly. It's the one thing you do not ever do. You've got to have standards.
There is little evidence that our individual intelligence has improved through recorded history.
Ask almost anybody if they think the climate?s changed in the last couple of decades and they will all say ?yes? and give you lots of examples.
You never know with politicians what they are really saying. And I don't say that in a negative way-they have an appalling job.
You mustn't take what I say as gospel because no one can second-guess the future.
I've got personal views on the '60s. You can't have freedom without paying the price for it.
Esso has been the main one in America spreading the disinformation that there is no global warming problem.
I'm not a pessimist, even though I do think awful things are going to happen.
The world has not warmed up very much since the millennium. Twelve years is a reasonable time... it (the temperature) has stayed almost constant, whereas it should have been rising - carbon dioxide is rising, no question about that.
Nowadays if you're dependent on a grant - and 99% of them are - you can't make mistakes as you won't get another one if you do.
No one who has experienced the intense involvement of computer modeling would deny that the temptation exists to use any data input that will enable one to continue playing what is perhaps the ultimate game of solitaire.
Let's make hay while it lasts.
NASA will send up a big sun shade that will be in orbit between the earth and sun and deflect 2 or 3 percent of the sunshine back into space. It would be cheaper than the international space station.
I wouldn't be against them (large wind turbines) if they actually worked.
China will soon emit more greenhouse gases than America, but its regime knows if it caps aspirations there will be a revolution.
Florida will be gone altogether, the whole damned place, in not too long.
The world has not warmed up very much since the millennium.
What I tend to do is to wake about five in the morning-this happens quite often-think about the invention, and then image it in my mind in 3D, as a kind of construct. Then I do experiments with the image...sort of rotate it, and say, 'Well what'll happen if one does this?' And by the time I get up for breakfast I can usually go to the bench and make a string and sealing wax model that works straight off, because I've done most of the experiments already.
