The Earth is a gezegde

 The Earth is a system that can change very rapidly. Fifty-five million years ago, when the Earth was in a period of global warmth, ocean currents rapidly changed direction and this change did not reverse to original conditions for about 20,000 years. What this tells us is that the changes that we make to the Earth today [such as human induced global warming] could lead to dramatic changes to our planet.

 We have had a deep and mutually beneficial relationship with our bottlers for more than 100 years. One of the historic strengths of our system has been its ability to change and adapt as our consumers, customers and competitors have changed. Change today is coming more rapidly than ever, and if we aren't willing to consider change, we risk missing out on growth.

 The potential consequences of climate change are so sobering that it's difficult to imagine how individual actions can make any impact. We are hopeful that Yahoo!'s Earth Day campaign will illustrate that if we act as a global community, together we can make a difference. We encourage citizens everywhere to embrace our collective responsibility to protect the earth for future generations.

 The Bush administration's lax new gas mileage standards are unfortunately going to keep America addicted to oil for a long time to come and accelerate impacts from global climate change. The fuel efficiency increases are miniscule compared to what is possible with existing technology and the major reforms urgently needed to cut air pollution, combat global climate change and save money at the gas pump. The Bush administration is figuratively and literally fiddling while the earth burns. The U.S. can and must do better if we are going to leave a habitable and tolerable planet for our children and grandchildren.

 Global warming is real. And here's how it works. The earth has an atmosphere, which acts a blanket. A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness. As we put extra pollution into the atmosphere, the blanket gets thicker and the earth gets warmer. It's essentially as simple as that.

 Global climate change is one of the most significant challenges humankind has ever faced. These landmark exhibitions bring us closer to the science that provides the foundation for understanding how the Earth has changed through time. The exhibitions also convey the human dimension that must be considered in addressing how to respond to the environmental changes that are taking place not just in the Arctic, but all over the globe.

 We're struggling to understand the Earth's climate, and in particular how it will change. And it is in fact changing in the direction towards being more like Venus, more CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere, higher temperatures. I'm not saying the Earth will ever become as extreme as Venus, but it's moving in that direction.

 TOPEX/Poseidon revolutionized the study of Earth's oceans, providing the first continuous, global coverage of ocean surface topography and allowing us to see important week-to-week oceanic variations. Its data made a huge difference in our understanding of the oceans and their affect on global climatic conditions.

 The Earth is our mother and we call it our Mother Earth. She's been hurt so many years. Now, with this facility, it's going to change.

 Our focus is to understand how high-level clouds, cirrus clouds, impact the climate system. Global warming is the climate change we're the most worried about. We are in the process of doubling the amount of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere since the Industrial Age began. The cause is the burning of fossil fuels, and it is significant because it is drastically changing the composition of the atmosphere.

 It takes too many resources to send each person into space. Earth is the most suitable planet in the solar system. But unless the human race spreads into space, I doubt it will survive the next thousand years. Some accident can wipe out life on a single planet.

 NASA is interested in what conditions to look for on other planets that might lead to the arrival of life. What are the processes? Using earth as our most detailed study site, what are the necessary steps a planet needs to go through to enable complex animal life to arise? If oxygen is the metabolic pathway, then we need to know what conditions have to allow for that to happen. The geologic record provides us with a record of these steps that occurred on Earth.

 Global warming is the greatest threat facing the planet today and we are close to passing the tipping point of irreversible climate change. That is why the action that the Mayor is taking through the London Climate Change Agency is so important.

 If every human being disappeared off the face of the earth in an instant, the earth would still keep spinning and the planet would develop new life forms.

 We know more about outer space than we know about our Earth, ... Talking to the real people, the cave divers who do a lot in the West Isles, they truly are Earth's astronauts. They're out there exploring Earth and trying to find new places that nobody's ever seen before, and it's pretty amazing. What they've done in the last 10 years is groundbreaking.
