Talk:Climate action

Barack Obama's quote is incorrect source

We pulled this from Wikiquotes, but the link is incorrect. Find correct link, and also the U.S. Archives quotes him as quoting another governor. Find original. https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2015/11/30/remarks-president-obama-first-session-cop21#:~:text=Right%20here.,can%20do%20something%20about%20it.%E2%80%9D.

I fixed this earlier this week: I gave the quote the correct attribution on this page, and I deleted it from Obama’s page. If anyone’s curious, I first found information on the development of the quote here: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2019/05/03/generation/

I found a reference to the correct source in that document. Loupgrru (talk) 21:34, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Suitable quotes for subject, but originally made for a different subject.

I am wondering what the correct form for applying a quote about a different theme (politics) to this theme - as the same premise is very suitable here. Can we apply it if the author was not talking about climate steps to take?

People are coming to understand...that even the most imposing and seemingly immutable constraints can indeed be overcome when an enraged citizenry sets its mind to it. Andrew Levine, "Pelosi’s Trump Problem and Ours," Counterpunch (3 May, 2019) AnnetteCSteps (talk) 21:35, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Need help finding quote dates

One of the quotes we’d like to add to the theme of Climate Action is from explorer Robert Swan, who said “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.” I can’t find a date for this quote. Can anyone help?

Same for Jane Goodall’s quote “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” I need a date, can’t find one. Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.

Linking is continuing; Help sought for bringing in climate action quotes from notables

Many of these quotes ensure 1) well-known quotes in the climate realm are mentioned; 2) topic coverage is broad (political, social, personal...). But we have not yet pulled over climate action quotes from the climate activists pages and other notables. Help is appreciated. The foci here are only on types of climate action, and the power of individuals (or not) to take effective climate action. AnnetteCSteps (talk) 01:19, 22 July 2023 (UTC) Also, please note some of these people are quite famous, especially in the climate action realm, such as Katharine Hayhoe. She just doesn't have a page yet.
