The current and future impacts on society and sustainable development are such that make the use of fossil fuels prohibitive. Climate change and global warming are linked to anthropogenic activity, in particular the use of fossil fuels and carbon emissions.
I draw this personal intimate conviction in particular from the reading of Jean Monnet’s memoirs written in 1976 : “When one sees the persistence of European sentiment within this permanently changing environment, one cannot doubt that there is at stake a very powerful trend of historic nature (...) ‘Il faut compter avec le temps’, One has to take account of time”.
