World leaders gets in there private jets fly to Italy then on to Scotland get in there high powered Jeeps and cars (that the elite can only afford due to high taxes on engines over 2liters) have big line of convoys of these cars and they tell us we are destroying the planet
Anyone else want to add some more shear lies we see hear over this climate con
Comme expliqué lors d'un post reddit précédent, plus de Croissance (PIB) veut dire plus de CO². Or, d’après les accords de Paris (COP21), nous devons mathématiquement baisser nos émissions de CO² de 5% chaque année, jusqu’en 2050.Hum. Les deux seules années où cela est arrivé depuis 100 ans, c’est en 1932, et 1945. Au choix, un effondrement économique, ou une période de guerre.Il y a bien eu par – exemple – une stagnation de l’émission de CO² en 2014, alors que nous avions de la Croissance. Mais l’objectif, encore une fois, n’est pas de stagner : c’est de réduire.
Est-ce bien à Laurent Fabius, l’homme aux 13 procès (toujours acquitté, le chanceux), à qui l’on pensait remettre le prix Nobel de la paix en 2016 pour sa ‘pugnacité face aux grands défis de demain‘ lors de la COP21 ?
Plus De Croissance = Plus De CO²
Quelques experts économiques Facebook, voulant nier les faits et trouver la petite bête, essayent de nous faire croire qu’on peut avoir de la Croissance en ne vendant que des services, avec plus de valeur ajoutée, sans pour autant plus polluer. Certes. Mais est-il possible de reposer sa croissance uniquement sur cela ? Et pour manger, s’habiller, se chauffer ? Il faudra importer. C’est un peu le jeu des pays occidentaux, comme la France qui nous fait croire qu’elle n’augmente plus ses émissions de CO² depuis des années. Forcément, quand vous faites fabriquer par votre copain chinois et que vous faites venir les biens par bateaux ou en avion, pas de pollution sur le territoire français. Habile.
Pour les derniers récalcitrants, intéressons-nous aux chiffres : existe-il une corrélation entre la croissance du PIB et la croissance des émissions de CO² ? La preuve en image
Une corrélation de seulement 0.9. Même un enfant de 5 ans comprendrait en regardant ce graphique.
Alors, que faisons-nous ? Bien sûr je suis, comme vous, le premier à souhaiter que nous gardions notre petit confort matériel to

COP21 Explained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-qd8YCaoQ4
Showing the world leaders that you care about the outcome is still possible, so consider that!!
Edit: (some explanation for the people that can not watch the video for reasons): COP21 is the 21st Conference of the Parties, i.e. the annual meeting of all countries which want to take action for the climate. It will be held in Le Bourget, France, from 30 November to 11 December. The overarching goal of the Conference is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit the global temperature increase to 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. There is a lot of pressure on this specific Conference to finally outline action and binding legislation.

Hi everyone! We’re four climate and energy experts here to discuss the COP21 climate talks in Paris. Now that COP21 has concluded, the discussion now turns to how countries can implement the protocols set out in the Paris Agreement. We’re excited to delve into these topics with you all and look forward to a great conversation! Here’s a bit about each of us participating:

Joule Bergerson: Hi! I am an assistant professor in the Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Department and the Center for Environmental Engineering at the University of Calgary. Today I’ll be answering any technical questions you guys may have around the results of COP21—so fire away!
We’ll hop on at 10:00am EST to answer and will keep answering until 4pm! Debbie, David, and Joule are currently in Paris right now and can discuss what they saw over the course of COP21. Tao is based in Beijing so he will likely drop off early since it’s getting late—but he may come back in the m

As the title says, we're having an AUA with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace about the COP21 from 10 am - 4 pm EST on /r/Geopolitics! Here's a nifty picture summing that up, and here is the announcement post with the times for each timezone.
I feel this AUA may be of interest to fellow Neutrons as the COP21 has made headlines around the world, but its details and ramifications are yet to be well understood. After this AUA, I'm hoping we all are able come away with a deeper understand of what those details and ramifications are - for our country, and our planet.
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for supporting these AUAs (if you support them that is!). Thank you Mods for allowing these types of posts, but more importantly, for maintaining this amazing community.
I can't wait to see what type of questions are asked, and answers provided!
Je suis consultant indépendant et, depuis fin 2014, je passe le plus clair de mon temps à aider des entreprises et des ONG qui se préparent pour la conférence de Paris sur le climat.
Accessoirement, je tiens un blog et j'enseigne à l'ESC Rouen sur les questions climatiques.
Edit : Merci pour vos questions. Ca fait plaisir de voir que le sujet intéresse ! J'arrête pour aujourd'hui mais j'essaierais de répondre encore à quelques retardataires demain.
