"Climate change has gradually been purely and simply erased from the political and media agenda over a period of many months. However, with a greater degree of consensus than ever, international experts have merely confirmed their most pessimistic fears about changes in the climate. The objective of preventing a two-degree increase by the end of this century already appears to be obsolete. This can only be a matter of regret. The European Union, which is in the vanguard of the environmental battle, must step up its efforts and its attempts to educate others at international meetings. In this respect, the Doha Conference will be another important event, but let us not be naïve. It seems to me to be vital to put on the table the question of a carbon tax at the borders of our continent in order to prevent any distortion of competition for our European industries, which cannot take on environmental commitments unilaterally."@en1
