Polar Quotations

I was always kind of serious. It's nice to be able to play a complete bad boy who's the polar opposite to who I am.

I've diced with death the most cycling around London. Black cabs are far more dangerous than polar bears.

People travel and hunt on the sea ice - in Alaska, they hunt in skin boats for bowhead whales; in Greenland, they hunt with dogsleds. The ice is their highway. The ice is also the ecosystem in which marine mammals and terrestrial animals such as polar bears exist.

My favorite animal is a polar bear. They're going extinct, and I really don't want that to happen.

'The Polar Express' began with the idea of a train standing alone in the woods. I asked myself, 'What if a boy gets on that train? Where does he go?'

I don't believe in a golden mean; I don't believe you find policy wisdom between two polar points. I don't dismiss that possibility, but I look at the platform that's so ideologically based, that's so dismissive of facts, of evidence, of science, and it's frankly hard to take seriously.

There's something known as the Uncanny Valley where things look a little too real and you're not quite sure what you're looking at. It becomes weird like it did in 'The Polar Express,' where the eyes seem so realistic, and yet you know it's animated.

I think that I was slightly naive. I thought that if I showed people the beauty of the Arctic and the beauty of the polar bears that they would care so much that they would stand up and try to make a change.

Even in our day, science suspects beyond the Polar seas, at the very circle of the Arctic Pole, the existence of a sea which never freezes and a continent which is ever green.

I think that its easy to think of the environment as all doom and gloom and that, 'What can we do, it's too late. And the polar bears are gone, and everything is gone.' But really, just the little steps that we can make as individuals make a big difference.

We believe that it's no coincidence that Titan's south polar cap of smog extends from the pole to 40 degrees south latitude -- exactly where the methane cloud band appears.

We have polar opposite views on a lot of things,

The products built in the factories of G.M., Ford and Chrysler are some of the greatest weapons of mass destruction responsible for global warming and the melting of our polar icecaps.

We're here, we're not polar opposites, we're not competing for the hold of the city.

Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the sea, is smirking. That's what polar travel is all about.

Most stores are filled with polar fleece and sweaters, but in 85-degree heat when people are wearing shorts, it's hard to sell those items.

Maybe an asteroid will hit or something will happen to the magnetic polar fields, ... Or maybe the guy who was making calendars ran out of paper. Who knows?

New Orleans seemed like a superior place to have this conversation because I'd seen maps showing how the city would no longer be there if we lose our polar ice caps. Little did I envision that the clarity of the issue would hit home in this way.

Polar bears are going to go with the ice cap. They're not going to actually last that long.

France would prefer a multi polar world where U.S. power is slightly restrained,

Global warming and rising temperatures in the Arctic jeopardize the polar bear's very existence. Polar bears cannot survive without sea ice. Polar bears could disappear in our lifetime if we don't take action.

What we found was that the glaciers were formed from snow brought from the polar regions.

Going well beyond Apollo, we seek the ability to land and conduct exploration activities anywhere on the moon, including on the far side or in the polar regions,

It isn't just polar bears and penguins that we must worry about any more.

Such rising air would cut off air from the south polar region from mixing with the rest of the moon's atmosphere, causing smog to build up and form a cap over the pole.

The announcement from Northrop Grumman Corporation is the latest in a growing series of successes for 1394 in some very exciting and valuable applications. Their testing program for the polar orbiting satellite system demonstrates the benefits of 1394. These include very high speed data transport, peer-to-peer connectivity which eliminates the need for a central controlling host, flexible topology which makes it easy to add devices on an as needed basis, and efficient allocation of bandwidth which benefits configurations which include a variety of devices with varying throughput needs. These are the attributes of 1394 that continue to move it into new product groups, and we are very pleased to hear of their application in the fault-tolerant chipset for the satellite program.

We're definitely seeing species going extinct because of climate change. We're going to lose the penguins. We're going to lose the polar bears, no question. . . . I'm seeing high mountain butterflies literally being pushed off the mountains. This is happening. It is not theory. It is not people saying, 'Oh, we think it might happen.' It is happening, and it is incredibly depressing.

Under the auspices of the (International Polar Year), to go out and prospect for fossil fuels, to put it politely - it seems ironic if not deeply misjudged.

The Polar Express. It did really well over Thanksgiving and it's still doing well during the lull.

The demonstration of SEQ5400 at 3GSM will illustrate the advantage of extending polar architecture across all modes, which will greatly benefit wireless handset manufacturers in their ability to lower the cost, shrink the size and increase the battery life of multi-mode handsets.

The delegates in Buenos Aires have to be reminded that climate change is not something which will happen in the future, it is happening now, most dramatically in the Arctic. The main cause is clear and undisputed. Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to the burning of fossil fuels is accepted as the main cause of climate change by all scientists save those working for the fossil fuel industry. Polar bears may be some of the earliest victims, but the rest of us are not far behind.

There has been growing interest in the polar regions. And the international community has decided it is again time for a collaborative effort to better understand these regions.

We welcome Abacus Polar as our first Systems Solutions Framework Partner. By engaging with us, Abacus is proactively responding to the increasing challenges their customers face when developing embedded solutions.

What is new here is clear evidence that the warm Atlantic, like the polar Atlantic, was undergoing very large and very rapid temperature changes during the last glacial period.

To get the feel of the polar night, I went back to Spitsbergen in winter. I went snowshoeing in the dark and experimented with headlamps and climbed a glacier in driving snow.

When I read about how 200 people died on a polar expedition, I wonder why they didn't get to know the Inuit people who were around and presumably know something about surviving in the Arctic after living there for thousands of years. Talking to people is a survival mechanism.

Very little is known about this region because it hasn't been well measured, especially in the polar regions.

We are going to carry a European satellite on board of polar satellite launch vehicle (PSLV) this year. That will give a turnover of USD 10 million.

We are going to carry a European satellite on board a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) this year. That will give a turnover of USD 10 million.

And we had teams of scientists up on the surface, and it would ram its way up through (the ice). 17 times they went through the polar ice.

There's one place, and one place only, to see polar bears in America. You have to travel to the country's northernmost point, the very apex of Alaska's North Slope, to the permafrost shores that stretch out on either side from the Inupiat town of Kaktovik.

I've been playing since I was in fifth grade. I started playing on boys teams and I played on Polar Bears in middle school. I still play for the Polar Bears. I love everything about hockey. I love skating and I haven't gotten sick of playing. The girls on the team are awesome.

The significance of this is that Mars is experiencing climate change, because the present conditions are not conducive to the formation of all this CO2 to begin with in the polar region. So sometime in the distant past, Mars was colder than it is now to form a permanent CO2 deposit. Subsequent to that, it has warmed and we are seeing that earlier deposit being eroded away,

Producing is a wonderful foil to being an actor: acting being largely about getting out of my head, being present, a little irresponsible, whilst producing is the polar opposite. You need other players to act; you can't act in a void, but producing is about making something out of nothing - conjuring a thought or an idea into reality.

Some people want to get out. It's not the most relaxed atmosphere sometimes in those types of schools, and in the neighborhoods in general. Some kids want to go to the polar opposite, if you will, to another type of culture and atmosphere.

Another thing to get used to in the Arctic is being in the food chain. There are polar bears there, and polar bears eat people. So we carry weapons.

That's not a place for that animal any more than for a zebra or polar bear.

A husky thinks there's a polar bear over the next hill and it's his God-given duty to find it.

This is raising concern on the effects of the polar caps.

This is a big deal. The south polar region seems to be a geyser field that's bigger than Southern California. . . . We suspect that liquid water also exists on other moons. But none of the water is so close to the surface.

This is just a portion of the people who volunteer throughout the year. They are so sincere about (volunteering). When we ran the Polar Express, we needed 35 people for each train to be fully staffed. We had 14 trains and never had any trouble getting volunteers.

I knew we were going to be good this year. Most of us have been together for three years now. A couple of the girls on the team play for the Polar Bears as well.

If we want to take polar research to the next level, for example, understanding the implications of melting ice caps for ocean circulation, for different societies and economies, and how human activities contribute to these changes, we need scientists working across disciplines and international boundaries,

I love the filmmaking process. It can be loud sometimes, and people love having conference calls, so working on a book is the polar opposite. It's very relaxing.

In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.

I think my mother was baffled by me. We were polar opposites. She was shy and retiring. I was over-fond of the limelight. Many times in my life, I was conscious of embarrassing her with my carrying on.

By the mid-17th century, telescopes had improved enough to make visible the seasonally growing and shrinking polar ice caps on Mars, and features such as Syrtis Major, a dark patch thought to be a shallow sea.

The elegance of Phoenix is its unprecedented ability to 'follow the modern water cycle' at the surface of Mars by investigating the geochemical signatures of water ice and the polar water transport story in the atmosphere.

The film's success again this year demonstrates that 'The Polar Express' has become a holiday perennial in IMAX theatres throughout the world. We are thrilled to be able to continue delivering exceptional content to IMAX audiences through our partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures.
