Philip Mote Quotations

Oceans are changing dramatically with climate change. Effectively, we're just finding more and more ways to interfere with the climate system.

Research about possible future climate change is useless unless institutions actually use the results to guide long-range planning.

We haven't really paid attention to what goes on below the surface in Puget Sound or any water body.

In the last year or so, this has really taken off like a freight train without brakes.

It was a masterful exposition of the science and ethics of climate change, better than anything I've done myself or seen anyone else do.

It's mainly just to wave the flag and say this issue is potentially very important.
