Réchauffement climatique : le Nord n’est pas moins concerné que le Sud
Mass media, like many policy makers or researchers, tend to assume that global warming may have a greater impact on the so called “developing countries” than on those of the first industrialization. However, modeling clearly shows that change will be more significant at high latitudes. In addition,...

description | Mass media, like many policy makers or researchers, tend to assume that global warming may have a greater impact on the so called “developing countries” than on those of the first industrialization. However, modeling clearly shows that change will be more significant at high latitudes. In addition, the sophistication of technologies could paradoxically be a source of fragility. It is therefore incorrect to affirm that the South would be more vulnerable. This position is also problematic because it hinders the decision to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the North. |
