“Action without thought is empty. Thought without action is blind”
Kwame Nkrumah (1909–1972), Prime Minister of Ghana from 1957 to 1960 and
President of the Republic of Ghana from 1960 to 1966, and a Pan-African leader.
“there is unequivocal scientific evidence that our planet has been warming since the
mid-20th century, primarily as a result of human activity. At the global level, we are
still arguing about the sources and effects of climate change on the planet and on
people, often driven more by self-interest than scientific evidence, while we in the
developing world continue to suffer, even when we are not the culprits.”
