Three months before his surprise election as the president of France, Emmanuel Macron posted a mocking video on his Facebook page. In it, Macron gently chides US President Donald Trump over his threat to tear up the 2015 Paris agreement on climate change. We like innovation, we want innovative people, we want people working on climate change, energy, renewables, and new technologies. Thanks.”What Macron does with this short provocative video is to hit several birds with a stone: First, he reaffirms French faith in the Paris climate agreement. It’s not just governments—finance capital (that great villain of eco warriors), too, has come out with a surprise defence of the Paris climate agreement.
