'Climate change is not a far-off problem. It is happening now and is having very real consequences on people’s lives. Climate change is disrupting national economies, costing us dearly today and even more tomorrow. But there is a growing recognition that affordable, scalable solutions are available now that will enable us all to leapfrog to cleaner, more resilient economies.'

'The transition to 100% renewable energy must take place within about a century because fossil fuels will become too rare and expensive to burn. But scientists warn that if the transition does not happen much faster than that, there is a danger that we may reach a tipping point beyond which feedback loops could take over and produce a catastrophic increase in global temperature.'
/ 'Overgangen til 100% vedvarende energi skal ske inden for omkring et århundrede, fordi fossile brændsler bliver alt for sjældent og dyrt at brænde. Men forskerne advarer om, at hvis overgangen ikke sker meget hurtigere end det, er der en fare for, at vi kan nå et vendepunkt fra hvilket tilbagekoblingssløjfer kunne overtage og producere en katastrofal stigning i den globale temperatur.'
