Quotes about: Physics

• Is there some magic wand they can wave on it and presto! - physics is overturned and carbon dioxide doesn't trap heat anymore?

• In physics there's the old law for every action there's a equal amount of reaction. Sometimes that's true in politics.

It's not a small thing when just about every nation in the entire world comes together and makes an historic agreement like this. It's a big deal. And the old cliché "The train is leaving the station" kind of applies.
