“We’re not moving fast enough, that’s the problem,” Macron told the One Planet Summit called to boost the 2015 Paris climate accord, which US President Donald Trump has renounced.
“We must all act because we will all be held to account,” Macron told the gathering on an island in the River Seine, adding: “We cannot say we did not know.”

Its a big scam
Thank you President Trump
I’m still waiting for someone to educate me on what effects money will have on the large star at the center of our solar system.
Good!! Enough of gouging the US to fund crazy schemes.. thats really all the GW crap is about...

Actually it’s a triumph and a refusal to be blackmailed and economically crippled.
Lol! A disgrace, to whom? I am not worried. Give France, and Europe for that matter, about 10 more years and they won’t be preaching Global Warming anyways.... It’ll be all about Allah or death.
