“The balance sheet is very bad when we take into account the commitments that are on the table today, said the spokesperson for Greenpeace France. We are on a trajectory with an increase of 2.4 degrees by the end of the century. This is a far cry from the goal of the Paris agreement, which is to limit temperature rises to 1.5 degrees by the end of the century. “
Clément Sénéchal welcomes however “small advances”, like “the fact that, finally, fossil fuels are explicitly recognized as part of the problem, which had never been the case.”
The spokesperson for the NGO finally explains that “the scientific community says it is physically possible to keep the temperature rise at 1.5 ° C by the end of the century”, before finishing : “It means that we are going to need major political upheavals, that we are going to have to drag the world’s leaders to court.”
