Macron: losing climate battle

paris - The French President Emmanuel Macron said in a speech to many world leaders and top executives from the business community that the world is losing the battle against climate change.

'We are not going fast enough. We all need to take action, 'Macron said during the 'One Planet Summit' in Paris.

Macron tries to stir up the willingness to do more against global warming. It got a bite because President Donald Trump withdrew the US from the climate agreement that was signed in the French capital two years ago.

It was agreed that the average temperature rise worldwide should be limited to less than 2 degrees Celsius. That will not work with the plans that are now in place. They indicate at least three degrees warmer. 'That does not look like what we have planned. '
