"The bottom line? We must frame the conversation not as "climate change" but place it in the context of global risk - alongside the developing antibiotics crisis, growing asymmetries in global security, potential impacts of garage synthetic biology, the self-replicating nanobot "grey goo" scenario, implications of next-gen robotics for global employment, a TEPCO/Chernobyl event just one level higher, and - sad to say - potential for another 2008 tsunami to strike and perhaps destroy global financial markets."
-Nigel Cameron, President and CEO of C-PET, recent address of sustainability and climate change on a global level at PuP 2012
