I have actually led more expeditions to Antarctica than Scott, Amundsen, and Shackleton put together.

The tragedy is that there is so much more incentive - money - to destroy the ecology than there is to preserve it.

Does Greenpeace think it can stop whaling in Antarctica by publicly eating whale meat and declaring it delicious? What are these people thinking?

I don't see the point in making a distinction between natives having more of a right to kill whales than nonnative people.

Actually, I never really look at myself as a real radical activist; I am more the conservative. I mean, the conservatives are trying to conserve; the radicals are destroying the planet.

We'll lose more species of plants and animals between 2000 and 2065 than we've lost in the last 65 million years. If we don't find answers to these problems, we're gonna be victims of this extinction event that we're at fault for.
