Despite the international scientific community's consensus on climate change, a small number of critics continue to deny that climate change exists or that humans are causing it. Widely known as climate change "skeptics" or "deniers," these individuals are generally not climate scientists and do not debate the science with the climate scientists.

David Suzuki

In 2013, I dedicated myself full-time to combating the very real impacts of climate change. Working across the country, NextGen Climate Action formed new coalitions and worked hard to make climate change a part of our national conversation - and across the country, we had a big impact.

Tom Steyer

The solution to climate change is staring us in the face. It's energy policy. If we pursue a global clean-energy economy, we can cut dramatically the amount of carbon pollution we emit into the atmosphere and prevent the worst impacts of climate change.

John F. Kerry

The impacts of climate change are almost immeasurable.

Isabella Lovin

Nobody on this planet is going to be untouched by the impacts of climate change.

Rajendra K. Pachauri

We can both prevent asteroid impacts and address climate change. It's not either-or.

There is still time to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, if we take strong action now.

Nicholas Stern

Climate change is one of the issues I worry most about because its impacts are enormous. But they're gradual, they're not immediate.

Barack Obama

The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group of more than 2,500 scientists) has provided the world community with first class assessments of the soaring temperatures the world is facing, the devastating impacts of these rises and the ways in which we can try and avoid the worst effects of global warming. We now know climate change is real and the hand of humankind in this warming is becoming clearer and clearer.

Klaus Topfer

We have got to encourage other nations also to come along with us with the impacts of climate change, what we can do about that.

Sarah Palin

In order to properly measure the impacts of climate change on our Financial system they must first be identified and disclosed.

Barry Gardiner

It is pretty damn obvious that there are positive impacts of climate change, even though we are not always allowed to talk about them.

Richard Tol

The record rainfall and storm surges that have brought flooding across the UK are a clear sign that we are already experiencing the impacts of climate change.

Nicholas Stern

The results of recent research on the impacts of climate change dramatically weaken the case for expensive, near-term abatement programs.
