David Roberts Quotations

The black line is carbon emissions to date. The red line is the status quo - a projection of where emissions will go if no new substantial policy is passed to restrain greenhouse gas emissions.

People say 'Why do you make pots?' Because I'm compelled to - life isn't right without it.

It's about the climate-change "denial industry", ...we should have war crimes trials for these bastards - some sort of climate Nuremberg.

When we've finally gotten serious about global warming, when the impacts are really hitting us and we're in a full worldwide scramble to minimize the damage, we should have war crimes trials for these bastards-some sort of climate Nuremberg.

When I got to McAfee, the channel was narrow, but with 2,000 new partners added in the past year, what will be critical in 2006 will be setting up the right care and feeding strategy for them.

We were deceived. The miners were peaceful. I always thought maybe some miner started it.

Some 90,000 square miles of the Gulf Coast was devastated by the hurricane, and it seems so hard to imagine where to start any relief effort, especially in low and moderate income communities, ... The opportunity to adopt a community like Kenner gives a focused structure to directly provide assistance on an ongoing basis.

McAfee is honored to have Tech Data as a customer, to receive this year's Difference Maker award and to be recognized by Tech Data among so many distinguished IT Vendors, ... During 2005, McAfee and Tech Data have collaborated on numerous initiatives that will increase the overall sales experience for our reseller community, and we are committed to building on this momentum during 2006.

Nobody realizes that Mormons were the first Americans to settle Las Vegas.

I am excited about this new opportunity and the much broader responsibilities I will have. At the same time, I am very excited with all that we have accomplished in channels at McAfee. My leaving is not a reflection of McAfee. It is a career move for me.

I am faintly disturbed that this has turned into instant uplift. You'd hate to see him turn his life into a career of telling the same story that resulted from an accident.

I was doing research on the Mormon handcart tragedy when I came across information about Brigham Young sending out missions to the Indians in 1855.

I went to the Grand Canyon with my family when I was about 8 years old, and I had a very blah experience. I think the scale of it is too huge - you don't appreciate it.

Our partners have been asking for more help from us on the services-strategy side. It's a constant request that they need access to more technical resources and other things.

We find a need, and we bring people together. These projects break down barriers.

Though Tikal may have been settled by at least 600 B.C., most of the city's edifices were built during what is called the Classic period of Maya history, from A.D. 250 to 900.

When you sling a saddle atop a llama's back, just after he's rolled in the dirt to scratch the unscratchable tickle of having lugged an ungrateful hiker's 90 pounds of impedimenta another eight miles along the trail, you're struck by how matted, coarse, and snarly the wool seems. But that's why it makes for versatile outdoor wear.

The pickup in imports is in line with the sense we had that the slowdown in the U.S. economy is close to its bottom. To some extent, last month's trade balance seemed surprisingly narrow, and this number is more in line with our basic view of the economy. We continue to see a U.S. economy that is growing slowly, but definitely growing.

Family' is a subjective term. She (Burg) would characterize it as a woman with two children having a relationship with another woman.

When you play an Xbox game, you rev yourself up to play. If you play one of our games, you're revving down, you're relaxing.

During the Spanish conquest of Mesoamerica in the 16th century, the Catholic Church's Friar Diego de Landa supervised the burning of hundreds of Maya codices - fig-bark books rich in mythological and astronomical information. Only four Maya codices are known to have survived.

The United States came within a whisker of invading Utah in 1858 and starting a civil war three years before the Civil War. Because the conflict ended up fizzling out, it's not the most dramatic story about the West.

Perhaps the greatest Maya mystery of all is the cause of the civilization's abrupt decline. The last dated stela erected at Tikal was put up in A.D. 869; the last anywhere in the Maya world, in 909.

As far as the dollar is concerned, I don't think this month's number will have much effect.

As scientific research demonstrates, llama wool's very coarseness and its range of fibers from fine to thick mean that it can be woven into clothing that's superior to down, fleece, sheep wool, and alpaca wool in criteria ranging from warmth to water resistance to usable life.

It's a great idea. As it stands right now, anybody can run a restaurant and might get lucky with an inspector.

It's a lot in construction and so it's just everywhere.

It's an incredible feat that he pulled off. There are second guessers who said he shouldn't have gone alone. I don't agree with that at all. I solo in canyons all the time. It was just bad luck.

It's not at all naturally human to see something like the Grand Canyon as beautiful.

Increases in health and liability insurance costs, utility expenses, and garbage hauling fees were factored, ... Our entire nation faces increased fuel costs, which will remain uncertain. We will take strong measures to harness these costs through a thorough review of cost efficiency in every department and every division.

I knew that alpaca wool, with its cashmere-soft weave, had been transformed into cuddly knick-knacks ranging from pillows to teddy bears. But through selective breeding over the past 6,000 years, alpacas have so diverged from their llama cousins as to become quite different animals.
