Hawking warns: We must recognise the catastrophic dangers of climate change

The Independent.

"As we stand at the brink of a second nuclear age and a period of unprecedented
climate change, scientists have a special responsibility, once again, to inform
the public and to advise leaders about the perils that humanity faces,"
Professor Hawking said. "As scientists, we understand the dangers of nuclear
weapons and their devastating effects, and we are learning how human activities
and technologies are affecting climate systems in ways that may forever change
life on Earth.
