French Foreign Minister
Say What??
We have been following the reports from the meetings with John Kerry and the French Foreign Minister on the web like many of you. As you may recall, back in 2014 he made a very unusual public speech with Kerry while in the US. His exact words were “we have exactly 500 days to avoid climate chaos” and “we are on the edge of the abyss and you all know it”. This speech sparked a lot of controversy, because exactly 500 days from that speech takes us to Sept 23rd 2015. A date we are all becoming very familiar with to say the least.
It turns out, the Foreign Minister made another speech the next day back in Paris. Only he elaborated on the topic. YouTube user Renee Moses has compiled a list of his comments which include the following:
* We have 500 days – not a day more – to avoid a climate disaster.
* We are on the edge of an abyss
* I attach great importance to words.
* There’s also a date we must bear in mind which will, I hope, be very important: 23 September.
* This is no small matter because unlike many spheres, life itself is at stake here.
* The fight against climate disruption is essential
* We must face up to climate disruption, climate chaos.
* Cataclysmic consequences
* We have 500 days to try and reverse the scenario.
* Five hundred days is extremely short. We’ve started working – many others with us.
* Something which may not solve everything, but would help halt the 4C to 5C rise, i.e. a cataclysm.
* Thanks to the decisions we took and which will subsequently be developed, we’ll manage to control it and get back down to two degrees and to a livable existence.
So the first speech was alarming… but the subsequent follow up is equally disturbing. What on earth are they referring to? It isn’t the typical “polluting SUV and cow flatulence” problem we usually hear. Why the “exact” 500 days? Why Sept 23rd?
Although we’re not sure Renee has the date of the rapture nailed down, along with 100’s of other prophecies, the Day of atonement, the 70th Jubilee, the blood moon tetrad, the solar eclipse, Elul 29… and everything else… it does appear the rest of this month may be an interesting ride.
