It is neither Emmanuel Macron who talks about it this morning in The Telegram or in The Latest News from Alsacenor Eric Zemmour in The voice of the Northnor Valérie Pécresse in Le Figaronor Jean-Luc Mélenchon in Release.
No, ” ensure a livable future is the hope of the IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which yesterday published the third and final part of its sixth assessment report, the synthesis of which is scheduled for September.
Time is running out but there is still time, says the IPCC. We still have a few years left… Because, point The world“ without an immediate and drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in all sectors, it will definitely be impossible to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees compared to the pre-industrial era. Keeping this objective within reach means reaching a peak in emissions by 2025 at the latest, before a decline in all areas. The changes to be made are major, still falls Le Monde, and go through a significant reduction in fossil fuels, the increase in renewable energies, energy efficiency and electrification, changes in lifestyles, a substantial increase in funding and aid from the technological innovation. »
No choice !
Release summarizes this IPCC report as follows: If humanity wants to avoid climate chaos, there is no choice: it must now fundamentally transform the modes of production and consumption, in all sectors, from transport to agriculture and including buildings. »
Certainly points out the newspaper, “ global energy-related CO2 emissions climbed 6% in 2021 to reach an all-time high, note Release. In question, in particular, the increased use of coal, favored by soaring gas prices. »
However, temper Release“ the IPCC report proves that this is not inevitable: a wide range of possibilities already exist to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the short, medium and long term. In each sector, it is possible to act, there is moreover +more and more evidence of climate action+, notes the IPCC. But we must reduce greenhouse gas emissions ‘immediately and strongly’, everywhereunderlines the latter, otherwise limiting warming to +1.5% will be ‘out of reach’. »
Ukraine: “there will be a before and after Boutcha”
Also on the front page, the massacres of civilians in the suburbs of kyiv: a turning point in the war in Ukraine…
” There will be a before and an after Boutcha », raises The cross.
For Release“ the executions of civilians, like those in Boutcha, show that Vladimir Putin is a war criminal and that we must stop all trade with him, even if the European Union must suffer from it. »
Precisely, it is necessary that Europe increases the sanctions, affirms The Parisian : “ how to procrastinate again on the choice of sanctions, when only the total cessation of Russian gas and oil imports, the revenues of which feed its war machine, could perhaps stop Vladimir Putin? (…) Public opinion is growing impatient, emotion demands answers, quickly. Between truly effective solidarity and economic realism, Europe is facing its moment of truth. »
The world insists: the Boutcha massacre imposes a turning point on the Europeans: abandon this pitiful gradation of the response and counter the murderous offensive of Vladimir Putin by a real counter-offensive of solidarity with kyiv. »
The unthinkable possible?
In the meantime, on the military level, Ukrainians now believe in victory, relief Le Figaro. Their resistance justifies Europeans and Americans maintaining and increasing their military aid. The unthinkable seems possible: the armed Ukrainian population could keep the Russian bear in check. This country that Europe regards with ambivalence finds itself at the forefront of the ‘existential war’ declared by Putin on the West. It’s time to be careful, warns Le Figaro: the specter of a defeat – unthinkable for the master of the Kremlin – could push him to escalate, towards the unknown. »
In any case, point out Opinion“ everything must be rethought: how far can we talk with Putin, how can we believe that a future in the region can be built with him, and of course, how to put an end to this terrible escalation in murderous madness? »
