FIRST SPEECH IN ENGLISH BY A FRENCH PRESIDENT IN DECADES

And Emmanuel Macron invites all engineers and scientists any worker who believes that climate change is REAL to come to France to "make our planet great again"

[climatemovement]

Donald Trump has pulled out of the Paris Agreement, an action that has beencalled utterly delusional, deeply cynical, and profoundly ignorant. Probably all three. For climate activists who stood against Trump throughout his entire campaign, it’s not surprising, but that doesn’t make it any easier to stomach.

This shit has real consequences.

In this cycle of bad news that just got worse, it means a lot to have a powerful, positive news story to follow. Enter the group of youth that is suing the US federal government. Both industry lobbyists and the Trump administration have appealed the lawsuit extensively. They have been repeatedly denied. They will go to trial.

Odds are they lose.

“The state of the planet is unraveling all around us because of our addiction to fossil fuels,” Xiuhtezcatl Martinez said at the steps of the US Supreme Court this week. “For the last several decades, we have been neglecting the fact that this is the only planet that we have and that the main stakeholders in this issue of climate change are the younger generation. Not only are the youth going to be inheriting every problem that we see in the world today—after our politicians have been long gone—but our voices have been neglected from the conversation.”

“Our politicians are no longer representing our voices.”

So, what's a voiceless kid to do? How about sue President Donald Trump and his administration—and then march to the White House?

Macron's speech was essentially centered around the harm this decision will do to the environment, and telling any scientist/engineer they're welcome to work with France. In my opinion, he should've mentioned more tangible, concrete examples of renewable energy uses and alternatives that the USA could use. And Trump's decision is a direct echo to President Bush 1997's decision with the Kyoto protocol. Maybe the world really doesn't ever learn from its mistakes.
