''We decided not to get involved in the debate about is there global warming or is there not, and what is causing it. What I realize is by the actions we are taking, we are going to save the commonwealth a lot of money. We are going to help stimulate key industries and we are going to improve our environment. That's a no-brainer from my standpoint.''-regarding his proposed Climate Protection Plan. Telegram & Gazette

"If climate change is happening, the actions we take will help. If climate change is largely caused by human action, this will really help. If we learn decades from now that climate change isn't happening, these actions will still help our economy, our quality of life, and the quality of our environment… I'm not a scientist. I read one book over the summer that said, 'gee, global warming is happening for reasons unrelated to human participation,' and other reports, far more, indicate, 'no no, it's very much driven by humans.' Well, I don't know." The Boston Globe.
