France is currently glowing red with heat. Not metaphorically. Literally. Land surface temperatures in parts of the country have been recorded at levels more commonly associated with the Sahara Desert.France. The country of vineyards, alpine villages, stone farmhouses, rivers, forests and temperate European summers. Looking like the Sahara. That should stop us in our tracks.The real story isn’t that France is having a heatwave. It’s that climate change is making places behave like somewhere else

    not really much normal people can do. voted green on the basis of them pushing work from home (30% carbon reduction) but once in office they dropped that idea, implemented “turbo migration” and forced homeowners (mainly famillies who took loans) to take out more loans to install solar while reducing paid parental leave. basically worst backstab me and my family have ever seen.

    even if france as a whole turned 0 emissions, that wouldnt change anything if everyone else is doing business as usual.

        Sometimes I wish Ibrahim Traoré paid a visit to Paris. With the other goats coming along, of course.

      now contrast this with what China is doing and it becomes clear that different outcomes are possible

        Last time i checked china was mostly reliant on coal ? They shifted the energy production to something else ? Genuine question, if they took impactfull measures i’d be hapy to hear about it

          The US is mostly reliant on China, and china’s manufacturing is slowly decreasing coal consumption, while rapidly increasing solar, wind and hydro.

          China bootstrapped using fossil fuels because that was the only technology available, but they’ve been transitioning away from using fossil fuels at a mind boggling rate. China still uses fossil fuels, but I think it’s fair to call it an electrostate at this point.

            Okay well believing China does things better than the west doesn’t make you a tankie. I also believe there are many things China does better than the west but I guess that’s all subjective.
