Il suffirait au citoyen américain de changer un rien son comportement, pour réduire massivement les émissions de carbone du pays, dit une étude :
Based in part on how folks responded to the energy crisis in the '70s, the scientists calculated how many Americans might be willing to reform their energy-wasting ways. And they found that within 10 years, we could reasonably expect to cut our national emissions by 7.4 percent. That much carbon is slightly larger than the total amount put out by France.
Voilà qui rend très relatifs nos efforts français et qui montre à quel point les crises sont plus efficaces que la raison quant il s’agit de nous transformer.
