·29 min·2 clips

Marion explains why the current climate change is unprecedented in intensity and speed, citing the 10 hottest years on record.

The episode begins by addressing the misconception that climate change is not serious because it has always existed naturally, with Marion explaining that current changes are unprecedented in intensity and speed, citing 2015-2024 as the 10 hottest years on record. It then moves to carbon capture technologies, where Colin clarifies they should only handle residual emissions and cannot replace the priority of reducing emissions. Next, the hosts counter the argument that France shouldn't act because countries like China pollute more, noting that 107 countries representing 80% of global emissions have committed to carbon neutrality, and China's emissions have recently dropped. They outline France's measures, including energy programming to reduce fossil fuel use and the National Carbon Bar strategy to allocate decreasing carbon budgets to sectors. The discussion covers sector-specific actions, such as greening company fleets in transport and using organic fertilizers in agriculture. Marion emphasizes the need for stable political action, adequate financing, and accessibility in the transition. Colin adds insights on emissions per inhabitant and imported emissions from consumption. The episode concludes with a message that reducing greenhouse gas emissions is feasible through collective transformation and strong political piloting, highlighting progress in cities with increased bike use and decreased consumption.
