    Marcus, your post is specious - 'low-carbon industries' do not exist.

    Marcus, I don't 'read up on climate science' - I study it and write up on it.
    Your activist agenda was lost more than five years ago - and you don't even know it.

    I've never met Dr. Amos - but he is thinking correctly.

    Ghana needs an industrial revolution wherein the private sector generates enough revenue wherein the 'industry' has more money than the government.

    AFRICA REALLY NEED POSITIVE THINKING LEADERS.SOMETIME ONE HAS TO STOP AND ASK IF THESE SO CALL LEADERS MAKE TIME TO THINK.

  • MENSAH 11 years ago

    You are very right on critical thinking.
    Our leaders TALK,TALK,TALK,but refuse to use their brains to think critically,so something good,comes out of it.
    THAT IS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS OF AN AFRICAN.
