“Schneider has made a career of telling the public that the climate is going to change drastically, and indeed every spring and fall he's been right.”
“One of the biggest obstacles to making a start on climate change is that it has become a cliche before it has even been understood”

“The liberty of the press is indeed essential to the nature of a free state: but this consists in laying no previous restraints upon publications, and not in freedom from censure for criminal matter when published.

“If a person has a contribution to make, he must make it in public. If learning is not made public, it is a waste.”
“...had just apologized to me. Hell must have been experiencing some climate change.”
