Biology is now bigger than physics, as measured by the size of budgets, by the size of the workforce, or by the output of major discoveries; and biology is likely to remain the biggest part of science through the twenty-first century.
The fact that the climate is getting warmer doesn't scare me at all. There's no reason why one should be scared.
It has become part of the accepted wisdom to say that the twentieth century was the century of physics and the twenty-first century will be the century of biology.
Scepticism is as important for a good journalist as it is for a good scientist.
I am saying that all predictions concerning climate are highly uncertain.
I don't think of myself predicting things. I'm expressing possibilities. Things that could happen. To a large extent it's a question of how badly people want them to.
