les gens qui engagent des travaux de rénovation énergétique puissent déduire le montant de ces travaux des droits de succession

François Gemenne, auteur principal du 6e rapport du GIEC, propose que "les gens qui engagent des travaux de rénovation énergétique puissent déduire le montant de ces travaux des droits de succession"

For months and months, we have been told that the transition was too expensive, unfair, and harmful to the competitiveness of our companies. But what weighs on purchasing power, the competitiveness of companies, and public finances is our dependence on fossil fuels. (translated)

I say it again: we would be naive to believe that the experience of the impacts of climate change will lead us to act more. (translated)

On Palestine, I believe that European governments should impose much harsher sanctions against the Israeli government and should also fight much more firmly against the rise of anti-Semitism. (translated)

An old solar geoengineering project that we long considered science fiction. Here we are. (translated)

One of France's most powerful levers to fight against climate change is its diplomacy. And that's where we could do more, I believe. (translated)

As long as the European Union does not have a真正的共同庇护和移民政策, neighboring countries will continue to exert pressure and trigger political panics by sending migrants en masse to the borders... (translated)

This ridiculous political controversy about the Canadairs only serves to mask the real recruitment problems within the firefighters. Thus, if a firefighter wants to help his colleagues in Gironde or Landes, he must take days off. It's outrageous. (translated)

The list of countries that voted against the renewal of Volker Türk says something about the state of the world... (translated)

Once again, Europe remains trapped in a vision where the climate and energy transition relies exclusively on regulation and public subsidy. The reality is that the transition is primarily a matter of investments. (translated)

If China is a leader in the energy transition, it's also because investments are heavily encouraged by the public authorities. Europe is shooting itself in the foot by refusing to do the same. (translated)

This thread raises a real barrier to the deployment of electric cars: why is it so difficult for charging stations to accept credit cards, like gas stations? @AllianceDecarb (translated)

Je fais mon mea culpa sur le manque d'adaptation de la France. Nous, les chercheurs sur le climat, avons été écoutés mais pas forcément entendus.

Je considère que l'adaptation au réchauffement climatique n'est pas "un renoncement par rapport à la décarbonation".

That we verify the claims of politicians, or a rumor, I understand. But the statements of a researcher? Of course, I make mistakes sometimes, but I find that these "verification" articles raise questions about our relationship to science. 2/2 (translated)

The timely adaptation of @LeTour to the fires is one thing. But the biggest challenge will be for tomorrow: how to structurally adapt the race to extreme heat? (translated)

Why this unpreparedness in the face of the heatwave? Why this French exception regarding air conditioning, when it could have saved dozens of lives? I reminded @CNN that adaptation is mainly a matter of public health. (translated)

1500 additional deaths in Paris in 3 days. Of course, air conditioning is not the solution to everything, but I don't understand those who downplay its effects on health to exaggerate its effects on the climate. The goal of the fight against climate change is to save lives. (translated)

Ezen a héten folyamatosan a klímáról fogunk beszélni. Aztán a jövő héten visszaesnek a hőmérsékletek, és nem beszélünk róla többet. Amikor majd jön a következő hőhullám, megint azt fogjuk mondani: »nem állunk készen«.

A pokoli hőség letaglózta Európát, és nem is lesz hamar vége

Je considère à chaque fois ces épisodes comme exceptionnels, sans réaliser que c'est la nouvelle norme.
