Macron needs to remind the US Gov that there would be no such thing as a US Gov without France. A lot of people in France at the time said, "Not our war, not our problem. Keep our soldiers here." France decided that democracy was more important and supported the American Revolution. Now, Ukraine.

When global temperatures shot up by ~6°C about 56 million years ago, plants were unable to thrive
The reduced ability of vegetation & soils to capture & store carbon may have kept temperatures elevated for >100,000 years
Today Earth is warming ~10 times faster than it did 56 million years ago

56 million years ago, the Earth suddenly heated up – and many plants stopped working properly
It could be a sign of what’s to come.

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.
10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C
20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C
So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.
Sound efficient?

This is so crucial. When people think about these land comparisons, they don't think about the entire sprawling infrastructure behind FF.
"0.3 per cent of the world’s land area – yes, just the land – would be needed to meet the current energy demand from solar alone, which is LESS THAN THE CURRENT LAND FOOTPRINT OF FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE."
Why solar power is the only viable power source in the long run
Not only is solar more than capable of supplying all the world’s energy, in the long term it is the only power source that won’t fry the planet

After plunging in 2023 and 2024, deforestation in the Amazon surged 92% in May and is up 27% in 2025, half of it in recently burned land — an all-time high.
This dramatic increase in forest loss presents a major challenge for Brazil’s government ahead of COP30, in November.
