Green Lantern: You wanna shut up before you create a time paradox?
The best known paradox of time travel is the predestination paradox, or the causal loop, which happens when the traveler is caught in a loop of events that "predestines" him to be his own ancestor, or to travel back in time or to cause an event that he was set out to prevent.

Green Lantern: Time travel. Swell...
GL's dismay about time traveling has roots on his first time travel experience in which he fought powerless in the WWII. Then again, he traveled to the past and immediately afterwards to the future, where he met his future son.
