There are a range of associated impacts related to increasing temperatures which affect both evaporation rates and river systems, which are already over stressed, and these will hit farming communities and the health of crop lands.

That was the crossover line for us, to be able to play that many shows, sell them out real quick and have that tribe queue up outside and still be a mystery to everybody else.

I believe the divine is part of the world, not in a pantheistic way but by way of the movement of the Spirit.

Our career path has tended to be the most perverse and contrary approach to the entertainment industry imaginable, while at the same time doing the kinds of things that you have to do, the videos, the photos and all that sort of stuff.

And given that there's been probably a ten-fold amount of information about terrorism through the media than there has about climate change; I think that's quite an interesting statistic.

Our senses convey that all is not well with the natural world.

You don't want to spend your life explaining yourself.

The place where the system and people's intentions meet is the political arena.

And living in Australia I am relatively well off.

Climate change is such a huge issue that it requires strong, concerted, consistent and enduring action by governments.

Climate change is also clearly a matter of huge interest and concern for the scientific community.

The Capitol was an occasion where you arrive at a sign in the road that says you have arrived at a place you may not have expected to be, but you know how you got here: Next!

In particular, Australia, because of its ancient geography, soil profile and distinctive weather patterns, is more adversely affected by climate variability than some other continents.

The forces that are in play on climate change essentially revolve around the generation of power, the transportation of goods and services and people, and the sorts of materials that we use to fuel the whole of our civilisation.

In our early period we pretty much survived or perished on our capacity to reach people, and on getting into the pattern of having no money and playing lots of shows.

As far as performance, the roar of the crowd, the smell of the greasepaint no I don't feel that.

Recently though, our State Governments have discussed instigating a carbon trading scheme - the details are still to be decided - and that's an encouraging sign.

Some people are born with the necessary gift, and some work hard to build on the few gifts they have.

There was never going to be a right time for a band that was still recording and had health in its environment, had made a very good record and was playing well.

It's absolutely not acceptable for people to argue that, if we are going to do anything about climate change at all, well, the responsibility lies solely with the individual.

Look, very clearly there are things that need to be done urgently in relation to climate change, and of those the most obvious is to have an enforceable and equitable arrangement delivering deep cuts in emissions into the middle of the century.

Once you start to look into the guts of climate change you find that just about every scientific institution in the world is conducting research on the issue.

At an everyday level I would reckon myself more than fortunate.

There are a range of associated impacts related to increasing temperatures which affect both evaporation rates and river systems, which are already over stressed, and these will hit farming communities and the health of crop lands.

The fact is that we take music very seriously.

I believe that the quantum of our knowledge will increase considerably in the coming years and that scientists will continue to be amongst the brave voices speaking out.

I haven't chosen to make an issue of faith.

I don't blame my own parents for the way I grew up, as quite often there is little choice in these issues.

I guess for me what is more significant than success is the nature of each of the songs and of the words.

What generally happens in this county is that our politicians don't serve us well because they don't tell the truth, and they don't keep their promises.

The Pro-Life cause is the preeminent cause of our time, and this struggle between the gospel of life and the culture of death will determine the destiny of mankind.

Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day, as the poet's health, sight, his anticipations, moods, fears, thoughts cannot be the same.

From dear, dear Gloria Swanson, I learned how to live long, happy and free of health problems. I owe her my life.

The greatest public health threat for many American women is the men they live with.

As patients and consumers, we are better informed today about our health care than any previous generation.

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.

The surest way to return to the people's business is to listen to the people themselves: We need to drop this whole scheme of federally controlled health care, start over, and work together on real reforms at the state level that will contain costs and won't leave America trillions of dollars deeper in debt.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

On health care, virtually every political error that could be made was made.

Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.

Advances in science and medical research and public health policies have meant that life expectancy for Australians is one of the highest in the world.

Actually, I've been a fanatical health nut for five years.

Happiness, contentment, the health and growth of the soul, depend, as men have proved over and over again, upon some simple issue, some single turning of the soul.

I think health is another exceedingly important thing.

From this experience we have learned that in a big party it is important to have the necessary and often controversial discussions on policy issues such as the health system while in opposition.

A modern health and social care system has to be completely focussed on the needs of its users.

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

Any veteran can tell you it is already hard enough to see a doctor down at the VA and get the health care they were promised when they signed up to serve this country.

Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head, John Conyers, says he doesn't understand it. It'll be passed by Congress that has not read it, signed by a president who smokes, funded by a Treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese, and financed by a country that's nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?
