The debate is over, but the emergency is not. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5626357\" data-originallang=\"fr\">We have allowed greenhouse gases to accumulate in the atmosphere to the point where there has been a change in its chemical composition. We can never go back. We are reaching the end of the era that made it possible for human civilization to develop. We are entering the anthropocene era. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5626358\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dawn in this new era: We dominate life on Earth and we threaten life on Earth. It is essential that before the climate negotiations open in one month, the government readjust our target to be consistent with the one the IPCC insists upon. </p>",
