    Stupid little question, but how this:

    It was essential, he said, that “France reduces our dependence on so-called fossil fuels, coal, petrol and gas, which we don’t produce any more but on which we depend”. The aim, he added, was to reduce this dependence from 60% to 40% by 2030.

    The same as no fossil fuels by 2030. If you are 40% dependent on fossil fuels by 2030, you are still using fossil fuels or am I somehow mistaken.

    I am guessing it is no fossil fuels in the electricity grid by 2030, but that is just a guess.

    I assume like every other country’s big climate plans they’ll announce it, do nothing and then back pedal on it 2 years from now.

    Credit for goals hit, not just stated.

      Credit for actually reducing emissions. It is better to fail a 80% reduction target with a 78% reduction, then to hit a 25% target perfectly.

        We’re literally about to enter a runaway climate catastrophe, and we’re only catching up with the last 20 years of emissions now. If we stopped burning all fossil fuels world wide tomorrow, it would take 20 years for the effects to stop. We are far past fucked my friend.
