"No one wanted to pay attention to the implications of a world four degrees warmer… It's too horrendous to think about.  And no one talked about it. 

"Then a few scientists said let's have a conference and actually talk about it. They held this conference in Oxford and I went along. 

"As the conference started, there was a kind of suppressed emotional intensity, except in the coffee breaks.

And one of them just looked at me and said: 'We're f--ked.'" — Clive Hamilton
