Cette carte est gravissime. Mais elle n'a pas fait la une de l'actualité. Pour moi, l'été 2026 marque un tournant. Après celui de 2022, il devient difficile de ne plus parler de "rupture écologique" ou de "point de non retour" pour une partie des milieux aquatiques français. 1/18

This is misleading. If you say the Rhine’ s “water levels drop to lowest level since 1880,” that implies that the river was this dry in 1880. But 1880 is just when we started keeping records! So what you need to say is: the river is at its lowest level since records began.

Maybe there would be more of a national conversation on climate change if the government wasn't trying to imprison anyone who takes to the streets to kickstart such a conversation

In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate

Done properly, rewilded landscapes are more fire-resistant.

This is a particularly dangerous way to think about spending in an ecological crisis, where repairing the ecological bearing floor is a long term strategic necessity with often high short term/up front investment costs. So if both public and private finance prioritise short term gains…🤔

"This focus on relatively short time horizons shapes behaviour across government and the wider public sector. Departments, for example, learn that proposals are most likely to succeed when they demonstrate clear, short-term benefits or savings"

Unless we ban the use of fossil fuels for energy generation and surface transport, no company will ever leave this stuff in the ground. Why would they when they're making money hand over fist?
