Free and vaccinated and you?

Carrot and stick.Emmanuel Macron did not go hand in hand on Monday evening in his speech of July 12.Vackerate or get ready to live a life of M..., here in essence the subliminal message addressed by the president.Received five out of five since in the minutes that followed, hundreds of thousands of non-vaccinés saturated Doctolib and other applications to receive the precious serum.The author of these lines had, he humbly admits, anticipated the Elysian order by a few hours.Appointment made Monday 3:00 p.m., Piquouze Tuesday 5:00 p.m..Having had the covid (strong!) In March-April 2020, I went there with a serological test showing that I still had a lot, really a lot, of antibodies.For the doctor who receives me, it is not a contraindication, but justifies to receive only one dose to obtain the famous and now essential health pass.Indispensable from this July 21 and especially this August 1 to access, under conditions still poorly defined, to the right to live, to move, to have a drink.Assessment: honesty forces me to admit, I tasted.Fever, two days, aches and other inconveniences.But frankly, faced with existing and future variants, and having the experience (never to live again) of the "real" covid, I am very happy to be vaccinated.Everyone must be free from their choices, certainly.But when you fight such an enemy, when you measure the evil it has done, when you love life, your children, your loved ones, your country, the calculation is quickly done, the benefit-risk balance in favor of the vaccineand confidence in science.In the country of pastor and lights, this rationality does not deserve that we divide for a bite of anything at all.The rest of the world also looks at France and its antivax with perplexity, while all poor countries dream of accessing the vaccine.For Emmanuel Macron, this rush towards vaccination is a good sign.The president feels comforted in a hard line, to get rid of the epidemic as quickly as possible and regain the pace of the reforms that constitute his DNA.Between the mobilization speech on July 12, followed by a beautiful parade on July 14, then a stage in his family Pyrenees to follow the Tour de France, Emmanuel Macron tries a summer breakaway, says Marc Endeweld in his weekly Politisope columnic.For the head of state, "immobility would be synonymous with failure and mat, whatever his opponent," he wrote.It is not the visit, the first of a French president, in the sanctuary of Lourdes (the most martyred tourist city in France by the health crisis) which will contradict him.Will Macron have had a Marian vision in Lourdes, only the future will say? Whatever happens, he will need all support because the health crisis is unfortunately not over.Mr @covidtracker, Guillaume Rozier, the data scientist which has become famous by launching the application quickly my dose said to our journalist Marie Lyan, "the fourth epidemic wave has already arrived".With nearly 50 million vaccination appointments initiated on its platform responsible for aggregating the appointments, the Savoyard has also recorded a peak in connections since Monday evening.Availability of vaccines, fourth wave, lessons by figures...The founder of quickly my dose returns to the latest data from the epidemic.In any case, summer promises to be complicated, especially for non-vaccinés.With the strengthening of anti-COVVIV-19 measures and the health pass made compulsory in transport from August 1, saving time during controls to fluidify traffic has become a business issue for Air France.For its customers, the airline launches "Ready to Fly", an online service which allows you to enter its health data upstream of the flight and arrive at the airport with the certainty of being able to travel.Faced with the same risk of congestion, the SNCF reflects on a similar device.It is that the unpredictability of the virus and the Delta variant responds that of the countries: it is only under pressure from the European Union that Malta had to give up closing its borders not vaccinated against the COVVI-19, on the other hand, imposing their forties.Such a measure was contrary to European rules, had recalled the commission.Another radical solution, that chosen by the city of Etretat: dissuade tourists from coming in too many.It must be said that the planetary success of the Netflix series inspired by Arsène Lupine with Omar Syts thousands of visitors on the fragile ecosystem of the cliffs of the Norman city, already over-frequented.Will you have to "start" the destination to preserve it from mass tourism?The question is on the agenda, notes Nathalie Jourdan.In the event of worsening of the fourth wave, summer misadventures are to be feared for unexpected vacationers.But not enough to question the optimism on the recovery.The government has finally resolved to revise its GDP growth forecast for 2021 to 6% against 5% before.A risky bet at a time when health indicators are panic, questions Grégoire Normand.Macron is already in the world after...Ready to “step over 2022”, he already wants to trace France in 2030 with a large investment plan in future technologies.Those who, in particular, have not allowed the country of pastor to offer a vaccine, but who prepare for the decarbon world of tomorrow.Because, if there will be an event of the past week in history, it will be much more surely the climate package presented Wednesday July 14 by the European Commission.A shock for the climate of which Brussels must "convince that it is equitable" to avoid "massive resistances".This plan offers a variety of measures to achieve the objective of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) of at least 55% by 2030.The main danger is social.We have seen the impact of the carbon tax in France with the appearance of the yellow vests movement against the increase in fuel taxation.This time, there is also a question of attacking individual heating.Explosive!

"Taxing households would be a political error," said the European deputy Pascal Canfin, president (Renew group) of the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety Commission in the European Parliament, which explains to Olivier Mirguet the issuesof these reforms.Never happy, several environmental NGOs have strongly criticized some of the proposed measures, despite desavanceds.A disapproval also displayed by airlines and car manufacturers, directly targeted by the plan, for reasons all other.

One of the objectives of the “carbon tax at the borders” is clearly to restore a field of equitable competition in globalization, with China in particular.But will the carbon tax on European borders facilitate relocations?Not so simple, explains Marine Godelier.Will the CO2 war take place?Faced with a less naive Europe ready to use carbon weapons to combat unfair competition, China is launching its own carbon market.The most polluting country in the world, which announces carbon neutrality for 2060, ten years after the rest of the world, launched its own CO2 quota exchange market on Friday to help it reduce its gas emissions togreenhouse effect.But observers are so dubious about the impact of the new system.Indeed, it should only cover a modest part of Chinese emissions, and generate a low carbon price, which would not be dissuasive for producers.

In the meantime, the key players in the ecological transition accelerate.Juliette Raynal met Helle Kristoffersen, Director of Strategy and Innovation at Totalenergies.The group "aims at the world top 5 of green electricity producers", she assures.Solar, terrestrial wind, offshore, natural gas, clean hydrogen, carbon capture and storage, battery...Totalenergies defends its transformation into a multi-energy society, while environmental associations and some of its shareholders consider society too slow and criticize its desire to continue the exploration of new oil deposits.Transport is the sector most directly impacted by Brussels decisions.The European climate plan should logically lead to an acceleration of investments in the electric car.But there too, inside Europe, it's the race.Nabil Bourassi explains how France got caught up in Germany.Formerly a pioneering country of the electric car, the hexagon seems to undergo the full whip of the acceleration of the regulatory agenda imposed by Brussels on the electric car.The brutal reversal of Berlin, formerly ally, to curb Brussels ambitions, puts Paris on the defensive.However, France has serious assets for a quick rebound.To support the deployment of electric vehicles on the roads of the Old Continent, the European Commission provides for charging stations every 60 km on the main roads and targets 3.5 million recharge points in 2030.But is it really possible, asks Juliette Raynal.At the current rate, we are far from the 100.000 public terminals planned only for France.Another sector impacted by the transition, housing.And there, good news, raised by César Armand, Maprimrenov ', it works."The objective of 500.000 renovations per year is about to be exploded, ”according to the National Housing Agency.Despite the complexity of the system, its president Thierry Repentin testifies to his "optimism" in the fight against thermal colanders.The week was also marked by the first sub-organ tourist flight with billionaire Richard Branson.The opportunity, beyond the vain controversies on the carbon footprint of this tourism for millionaires, to recall the importance of space for the fight against global warming."The economic and societal challenges of space are enormous" explained to Michel Cabirol the General Michel Friedling Command of the Space Command, who organized for the first time in Europe a first hackaton on the theme of the defense defense.France remains the pioneer nation in Europe on all these files.In Toulouse, Florine Galéron met the leaders of the startup Loft Orbital, born in San Francisco, who installed in the pink city a control room and test benches to follow 24 hours a day her first satellites sent in orbit at the end of June.Pioneer of space carpooling, Loft Orbital intends to ultimately deploy a constellation of a hundred satellites of shared services.As a reminder, La Tribune is organizing a tour of “zero carbon” cities in eight French cities, the first of which was held in Nantes, pending Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse and others including Paris at the end of the year.In the city of which socialist mayor Johanna Rolland has been re -elected, the fight against global warming leads to new lifestyles.Find here the replay of the event which took place on July 8 at the Nantes Arts Museum.
