Quotes by Fossils The 1,230 gigawatts (GW) of renewable power generating capacity in place at the end of 2009 now constitutes just over 25 percent of total generating capacity worldwide. This is over three times nuclear generating capacity and roughly 38 percent of the capacity of fossil fuel-burning power plants worldwide. Christopher Flavin burning fossils fuel It must be significant that nearly all the evolutionary stories I learned as a student....have now been debunked. D. V. Ager fossils students stories Palaeontologists cannot live by uniformitarianism alone. This may be termed the Phenomenon of the Fallibility of the Fossil Record. D. V. Ager fossils records may If you were to ask me to define a photograph in a few words, I would say it is a fossil of light and time. Daido Moriyama fossils few-words light There are gaps in the fossil graveyard, places where there should be intermediate forms, but where there is nothing whatsoever instead. No paleontologist..denies that this is so. It is simply a fact, Darwin's theory and the fossil record are in conflict. David Berlinski gaps fossils facts No matter what else happens, this is the century in which we must learn to live without fossil fuel. David Goodstein fossils fuel matter We now have a quarter of a million fossil species, but the situation hasn't changed much... We have even fewer examples of evolutionary transition than we had in Darwin's time. David M. Raup fossils transition example Ironically, we have even fewer examples of evolutionary transitions than we had in Darwin's time. David M. Raup fossils transition example The truth is, as most of us know, that global warming is real and humans are major contributors, mainly because we wastefully burn fossil fuels. David Suzuki burning-fossil-fuels fossils real Some secrets are like fossils and the stone has become too heavy to turn over. Delphine de Vigan fossils secret stones We can no longer continue feeding our addiction to fossil fuels as if there is no tomorrow. For there will be no tomorrow. Desmond Tutu fossils addiction fuel It makes no sense to invest in [fossil fuel] companies that undermine our future Desmond Tutu fossils future vision When the first fossils began to be found in eastern Africa, in the late 1950s, I thought, what a wonderful marriage this was, biology and anthropology. I was around 16 years old when I made this particular choice of academic pursuit. Donald Johanson fossils choices years A word is no light matter. Words have with truth been called fossil poetry, each, that is, a symbol of a creative thought. Edith Hamilton fossils light creative Humans will eventually become extinct. People treat that as a radical thing to say. But the fossil record shows us that everything eventually becomes extinct. Elizabeth Kolbert fossils records people You've got to do everything, everything's got to be pointing in the same direction and you've got to really turn this whole economic engine from one that's based on fossil fuels to one that isn't. Elizabeth Kolbert fossils economic fuel We are nothing: imitations, copies, phantoms: repeaters of what we understand badly, that is, hardly at all: the animated fossils of a prehistory that have lived neither here nor there, consequently anywhere, for we are aboriginal foreigners, transplanted from birth in our respective countries of origin. Enrique Lihn phantoms fossils country Wherever we look at the living biota … discontinuities are overwhelmingly frequent…The discontinuities are even more striking in the fossil record. New species usually appear in the fossil record suddenly, not connected with their ancestors by a series of intermediates. Ernst Mayr fossils records looks Given the fact of evolution, one would expect the fossils to document a gradual steady change from ancestral forms to the descendants. But this is not what the paleontologist finds. Instead, he or she finds gaps in just about every phyletic series. Ernst Mayr gaps fossils facts In early times, before the floods swept across the world, there was life, albeit odd, as one can see from the fossils of mammoth bones, and there was the regime of Prince Metternich.
