Preventing Quotations

We unfortunately already live on a planet where the climate has changed and will continue to change no matter what we do now. We're playing a game of making the problem less bad rather than preventing it.

Global warming is a fact. Now it's up to liberals to make it a reality. Hence there is crucial importance in preventing powerful, greedy free market forces from getting in the way of worsening storms and rising sea levels. The Kyoto Accord is a good first step.

We must eliminate all nuclear weapons in order to eliminate the grave risk they pose to our world. This will require persistent efforts by all countries and peoples. A nuclear war would affect everyone, and all have a stake in preventing this nightmare.

My U.N. five-point plan focuses on preventing proliferation, strengthening the legal regime, and ensuring nuclear safety and security - an effort that was given good momentum by the Nuclear Security Summit held in Seoul earlier this year. The world is over-armed, and peace is underfunded.

One of the first ways of doing that is removing horseshoe bats from marketplaces and urban centers, ... Another important way is to get the horseshoe bat off the diet of human beings. Those two measures will go a long way to preventing another outbreak of SARS.

let us be frank with each other, and the peoples of the United Nations. We have not yet achieved the sweeping and fundamental reform that I, and many others, believe is required. Sharp differences, some of them substantive and legitimate, have played their part in preventing that.

Now that we've got the emergency of the hurricane out of the way, we want to look at preventing more destruction.

If we can't have the courage to tell our constituents, hey, we've got to cut back, then if we can point to something and say, I would like to vote for more benefits for you, but this balanced budget amendment or statutory spending cap or whatever the device is, is preventing me from doing it.

If an employee is served with an order to release highly sensitive encryption keys, they are likely also to be served with a 'gagging order' preventing them from informing others in the company (such as senior management or security staff) that the integrity of their encryption systems has been potentially compromised.

Looking closely at these cases, we found time and again badly flawed investigations, and a lack of command responsibility for what's gone wrong ? especially in cases where victims were tortured to death. The result across the board has been to create a culture of impunity, where no one, especially not command, is held fully accountable for detainee deaths. If the United States is serious about preventing torture going forward, there must be accountability up and down the chain of command.

Massachusetts does not need or want federally funded programs that promote a particular religion and contain misleading information when it comes to preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Our students need federally funded programs that discuss the benefits of abstinence and teach them about effective use of contraception.

Recent reports show ID theft topped the FTC list of fraud complaints again in 2005, indicating both heightened incidence and awareness of the crime. While awareness is an important first step for consumers, education is critical to preventing identity theft. This underscores the importance of experts like Lance in raising the visibility of best practices and emerging fraud tactics both on and offline, offering credible resources useful in protecting against the damage identity theft begets.

I think the biggest thing is the pitching. I think last year we gave up too many runs. Our run prevention wasn't good enough. I think that's something we focused on. In addition to Beckett, there was strengthening in the bullpen. We need to get better at preventing runs. We led the Major Leagues in runs the last three years. We know we can score runs. The biggest question is preventing runs. That's what we're working on. We're still going to score runs. We're confident with that.

Responsibility for preventing identity theft and eliminating the insider threat has escalated from the IT department to the executive suite.
