Martin Rees Zitate

Some global hazards are insidious. They stem from pressure on energy supplies, food, water and other natural resources. And they will be aggravated as the population rises to a projected nine billion by mid-century, and by the effects of climate change. An 'ecological shock' could irreversibly degrade our environment.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Einige globale Gefahren sind heimtückisch. Sie entstehen durch den Druck auf Energie, Nahrung, Wasser und andere natürliche Ressourcen. Sie werden sich verschärfen, wenn die Bevölkerung bis Mitte des Jahrhunderts auf voraussichtlich neun Milliarden anwachsen wird, und durch die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels. Ein „ökologischer Schock“ könnte unsere Umwelt irreversibel beeinträchtigen.

The cost of our success is the exhaustion of natural resources, leading to energy crises, climate change, pollution, and the destruction of our habitat. If you exhaust natural resources, there will be nothing left for your children. If we continue in the same direction, humankind is headed for some frightful ordeals, if not extinction.

If managed well, urbanization can create enormous opportunities: allowing innovation and new ideas to emerge, saving energy, land and natural resources, managing climate and the risk of disasters.

When you run a company, you want to hand it off in better shape than you found it. In the same way, just as we shouldn't leave our children or grandchildren with mountains of national debt and unsustainable entitlement programs, we shouldn't leave them with the economic and environmental costs of climate change.

How we grow food has enormous effects on the environment - climate change as well as pollution of air, water, and soil.

We always say Jordan is not rich in natural resources - we don't have oil or gas like some of our neighbors do - but I think in terms of human resources, we are quite lucky and we are really trying to foster an environment of innovation and technology. I think Jordan will emerge as a center of innovation in the Middle East.
