Three relevant quotes from Nordhaus & Shellenberger

1.(page 4) "Civil rights, the environemnt, feminism, labor -- what were once cutting-edge movements are now established special interests."

Significant becuase it clearly states that it is a concern to the government as well because it has become a serious issue internationally.

2. (page 7) "The challenge of climate change is so massive, so global, and so complex that it can be overcome only if we look beyond the issue categories of the past and embrace a grand new vision for the future."

I find this important as it is a suggestion from the writer(s) about how we can make our first step to solving this concern.

3. (page 15) "We argue for an explicitly pro-growth agenda that defines the kind of prosperity we believe is necessary to improve the quality of human life and to overcome ecological crises."

This is relevantly important as it discusses the demands of people in our society as they want to get out of the current ecological crisis our world is facing.
