The science is beyond dispute ... The facts are clear. Sea levels are rising. Coastlines are shrinking. We’ve seen record drought, spreading famine and storms that grow stronger with each passing hurricane season.

The USDA inspects and grades meats and grains, administers crop and ethanol subsidies, hands out food stamps and disaster relief, runs land conservation programs, and oversees organic labeling

The Red Cross earlier this year was actually borrowing money to pay for disaster relief ... We've raised $62 million. We're still $38 million short.

We are very thankful to Presidio for its generous donation to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund

If you read between the lines, this EPA report on the health effects of climate change provides further evidence that our families and communities are seriously endangered by global warming, and that we must act now

Earlier, disaster management was seen as a relief-centric exercise. But after the 1993 Latur earthquake, the approach of the State Government changed. Now, we have a prevention-mitigation-preparedness approach to disasters

After the earthquake, supplies and money sent for disaster relief hardly reached the afflicted people. They were pocketed by the county leaders and the village leaders at all levels.

For somebody who drives a hybrid, who recycles, who is worried about global warming - to tell him that that night of partying will destroy 4m square of rainforest might lead him to make another decision.

They are at risk from drought, climate change, wildfire and development, and these risks threaten not just our forests, but also Colorado's communities, economies, air quality, water supplies and wildlife

Creating a Red List for endangered ecosystems goes hand-in-hand with the need to protect at-risk species that live in such areas as the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest, South Africa's grasslands, and Indonesian lowland tropical forest

This visit would raise issues of climate change, especially focus on the rainforest in Indonesia and tolerance among interfaith

Unfortunately the signals that we get from our member Red Cross and Red Crescent societies from all over the world are not very encouraging

I cannot commend this strongly enough because the single most effective and significant action the world can take to stabilize climate change, the greatest threat facing mankind is to stop tropical rainforest destruction

Whether it be hurricane force winds, flooding or some other type of disaster like an earthquake or a terrorist bomb, you can then simulate what's going to happen to the structures.

There is no question that there is a connection in areas experiencing drought between the lack of water and conflict ... We see this in competition for water sources and discontent prompted by famine.

The May 12 Wenchuan earthquake has revealed new problems in earthquake precaution and relief
