Stormysaga + 62 AB August 28, 2018 France's environment minister unexpectedly announced his resignation live on national radio, citing disappointment with the government's lack of progress on climate and other environmental goals. The move deals a stinging blow to the environmental credibility of President Emmanuel Macron. Losing Hulot so suddenly will force a ministerial reshuffle and casts doubt on the strength of Macron's commitment to "make our planet great again.

Adam Varga + 123 AV August 28, 2018 "World not doing enough," said Hulot. Could you imagine quitting your job and blaming the rest of the world. That's gotta be some seriously large chip. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam Varga + 123 AV August 28, 2018 I don't want to lie to myself any more, or create the illusion that we're facing up to these challenges," Hulot said. "I have therefore decided to leave the government." The mask, it’s falling off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackTortoise + 103 CM August 28, 2018 This is is a major blow for Macron, who has painted himself as the defender of the Paris climate change accord on the world stage. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodent + 1,424 August 29, 2018 sure, you can keep trying to make a difference. that's one way to go. the other option is to make a showy exit by resigning live on the radio. the climate is bound to benefit either way...right? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cadell + 3 AM August 29, 2018 Hulot has made a ripple, even if it's a small one. He was under pressure from the greens. To quote an infamous American President; (aren't they all?) 'either piss or get off the pot.' 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Ziegler + 121 RZ August 29, 2018 Hulot is just a narcissus, full of it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
