We're either going to save Ihe world or no one will be saved.

I believe we are going to move into a situation where the more effective conferences will be smaller, more specialized, more focused, with occasional large gatherings to get the attention of the larger world.

We may get to the point where the only way of saving the world will be for industrial civilization to collapse.

We in the industrialized world make a greater difference because our ecological footprint, our impact on the condition of the environment, is 40 to 50 times larger than that of people in the developing world.

Well they do have a use, but we should never believe that any international conference is going to suddenly solve problems like the condition of the global environment.

Don't accept that you can't make a difference. Because if you can't make a difference, you won't make a difference, and if you put a multiplier on that we will continue on an unsustainable pathway.
