Those Who KNOW... Act “We can choose to believe that superstorm Sandy, and the most severe drought in decades, and the worst wildfires some states have ever seen were all just a freak coincidence. Or we can choose to believe in the overwhelming judgment of science – and act before it’s too late.” – President Obama “Science, accumulated and reviewed over decades, tells us that our planet is changing in ways that will have profound impacts on all of humankind. Those who are already feeling the effects of climate change don’t have time to deny it – they’re busy dealing with it.” – President Obama “I am often asked what my opinion is on climate change and if I believe it is real. I reply, ‘This isn’t a question of my opinion, it is a matter of science. That is like asking if I believe in a thermometer.” – Dr. Noah Diffenbaugh, Stanford University, Senior Fellow Woods Institute for the Environment “Climate change is a global threat, touching every region of the world and every sector of the economy. “ – John Holdren, Director White House Office of Science and Technology Policy
