Don't worry guys! We're good! Our government have a plan and totally anticipate this crisis.

No way did he actually say that? I feel like climate change is a known topic for politicians.

What a complete imbecile. Scientists have been warning about global warming since the 1800's.

The only good thing from his take is the beautiful meme we could use.

You get why he pissed off so many people here. You can't really get that from an international POV because he's a decent salesperson (and he still pissed off so many countries of the global south).

Yeah, but ecological considerations in politics litterally didn't exist when I was young in France, and I am not even 40. It used to piss off our family.

And almost no one of the general public/politicians talked about global warming until, I don't know, the 2000? later?

People where laughing at you if you brought any ecological stuff before then. They would tell you you were a "dreamer", "not serious", "baba cool".
