François Bayrou, Jean-Marc Jancovici and climate ...

[Christophe]

This is JM Jancovici's latest Mailing, featuring updates to his site.

Dear all,

I am decidedly mature to do politics: between my promises (I announced on my website a word of news more or less monthly) and achievements (my last delivery date of the month ... April 2006!), he begins to have a gap worthy of a presidential candidate. Who knows, already with the sponsorship of my baker and that of the neighbor's cat, perhaps I could have easily found the additional 498 to enter the dance?

Well, let's be serious 5 seconds, the coming debates will still concern important things: the life expectancy (via health) of our descendants, the size of the population (via the fact that we should have babies, and as Woody Allen said I'm ready to sign up for training), the job they will do, the length of the work week, the school year, the retirement age, the famous economic growth, the occupation of the territory, and a few oddities. Saying that, I'm just talking ... about energy and climate! Which are objectively at the root of all that is enumerated above, and other things still, if we look at the physical processes of a little bit. Let's talk about energy and climate, since it's about the future.

The IPCC having worked well and well, I could not do less than work a little to try to keep up with the movement. So I updated the following pages, including adding the latest images available:
- "how much hotter in 2100":
http://www.manicore.com/documentation/s ... ation.html
- "where hotter and where drier or more humid in 2100":
http://www.manicore.com/documentation/s ... ution.html
- "where more violent in 2100":
http://www.manicore.com/documentation/s ... mpete.html (No, I'm not talking about the suburbs, although I'm talking about it indirectly:
http://www.manicore.com/documentation/s ... tique.html)

Mr. Nicholas Stern having a lot - and seriously, at least on the method - worked on the cost of climate change, I updated two pages:
- the one who discusses "from when can we say that the
climate change is a disaster? ":
http://www.manicore.com/documentation/serre/seuil.html
- the one who wonders if invoking the economy (the macro-economy to be precise) not to act is not like trying to use a fork to repair a watch: it is not really suitable ...:

Your servant having a lot (well, it's you who will tell me ...)
responded to the press, here is force peroraisons which are grouped on this page:
http://www.manicore.com/documentation/a ... iques.html (a little of everything in there: economic growth, "offsetting" of emissions, Hulot, renewables, nuclear, I'll let you look!).

In this connection, I sometimes find myself credited with
surprising, which gives me the opportunity to recall that we do not always read again after an interview, and that the author of the published text is not the person questioned, but the one whose name follows " collected by ". To try to distinguish between the words that engage me and those that only engage the newspaper :-), there is this small page of details:
http://www.manicore.com/documentation/a ... cture.html

In a neighboring section, my name has been closely associated with that of Bayrou recently when it comes to the latter's position on the environment (including in an article in Le Monde about 15 days ago) , I thought it useful to vote for myself this little right of reply (or rather "precision") to explain what it was; precision which, it is true, will not be printed in 400.000 copies ...:

Your servant with the intention of much (well, it is you who will tell me too ...) to talk in public and live, here are the conferences
planned for March and April:
http://www.manicore.com/documentation/a ... media.html

Allegre having again much (and well?) Made speak about him, here
a small commentary of texts on a platform which he published in Le Monde a few months ago, but which I believe remains valid:
http://www.manicore.com/documentation/s ... legre.html

The world with a lot (what I say, an infinity!) Of stingy, flu-under, rapia and weeping of all kinds, they are rejoicing: it is now possible to make the full for 6,5 euros, a thing :
http://www.manicore.com/documentation/a ... inSVP.html

Finally demonstrators having decided to moan a lot (well?) Against the EPR today, I will recall that the mortal enemy of good feelings - which are of course legitimate - is called ... a
calculator : http://www.manicore.com/documentation/centrale_serre.html
Still the mathematics that make us sweat!

But that does not prevent you from spending a good weekend, and very cordially to all

Jean-Marc Jancovici

I went back to the Janco site and he updated things and posted an answer to Allegre about his book.

He is very tender with our Mammoth.
