Emmanuel Macron Quotes

My fellow Americans, people all over the world, we need to solve the climate crisis, it's not a political issue, it's a moral issue. We have everything we need to get started, with the possible exception of the will to act, that's a renewable resource, let's renew it.

I think people should have no illusions that Hillary [Clinton] is going to solve the climate crisis for us. We are in as much trouble with fracking as we are with coal. They both need to be stopped.
