"The president, speaking before ministers at the Élysée, said the country was at a '#TippingPoint' and faced a difficult winter and a new era of #instability caused by #ClimateChange and #Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine."
"'What we are currently living through is a kind of major tipping point or a great upheaval … we are living the end of what could have seemed an era of abundance … the end of the abundance of products of #technologies that seemed always available …
... the end of the abundance of land and materials including water,' he said."
"Philippe Martinez, the secretary general of the powerful CGT union, said #Macron’s comments were 'misplaced' and that many in #France had never known #abundance." #inequality
