Energy specialist engineer Jean-Marc Jancovici, creator of the concept of “carbon footprint” and author of several books including the comic strip “Un monde sans fin” is the guest of Matin Première this Tuesday. For more than 20 years, he has wondered how to rebuild an economy on a carbon-free basis and to face the climate challenge.
To the question “Are we all screwed?”, the specialist divides his answer into two parts.
“If the question is ‘Is there absolutely nothing left to deal with the situation?’, the answer is obviously no. If the question is ‘Can we now take our destiny into our own hands so that we avoid any unpleasant consequences with regard to global warming?’, the answer is also no.“, he believes.
In other words, it is not too late to act, but it is too late to avoid all the unpleasant consequences of what we have set in motion.
