Oh no. What is Jon Kerry going to do when he visits his buddies in France? After all, it is the only choice for someone like him.

(4/12/2021) reports: "France is set to ban short domestic flights in favor of train services, after lawmakers approved a plan that will see several air routes discontinued to reduce emissions. MPs voted late on Saturday to some suspend some flights by domestic airlines that can be made by train in less than two-and-a-half hours, as part of a wider climate bill. If the bill passes through France's upper house, the Senate, France will join a number of European countries seeking to move away from short flights. But some have criticized President Emmanuel Macron for watering down proposals from his own environmental panel, which had recommended a ban on flights where a train journey would take less than four hours. Transport Minister Jean-Baptiste Djebbari said the government's proposal was 'reasonable.' He told lawmakers during the debate that a four-hour threshold 'would have really impacted territories that need flights.' 'When there is a robust alternative, usually clients switch to
trains,' he said, citing routes from Strasbourg and Bordeaux to Paris. 'Each time high-speed lines have competed with flights, we have noticed that trains have largely drained (airline passengers).' Djebbari also said the bill would mean an end to flights from Paris' Orly Airport to Nantes and Lyon."

What's the next existential threat? This one is over.

(4/13/21) column: "Joe Biden has put a presidential imprimatur on climate change being an existential threat, and he doesn’t mean in the Jean-Paul Sartre sense of man’s search for meaning in an uncomforting universe. He means the end of humanity, a claim nowhere found in climate science. This is odd because the real news today is elsewhere. Its movement may be ocean-liner-like, the news may be five years old before the New York Times notices it, but the climate community has been backing away from a worst-case scenario peddled to the public for years as 'business as usual.' A drumroll moment was Zeke Hausfather and Glen Peter’s 2020 article in the journal Nature partly headlined: 'Stop using the worst-case scenario for climate warming as the most likely outcome.'..There are terms that apply—reification fallacy, equivocation fallacy—for a journalism that loses sight of the world and plain meanings in its quest to situate itself among prefab talking points. Let this process run away with
itself, and that’s how you get a climate journalism more founded in fantasy than in science, with Joe Biden feeling the need to blather about the end of the world."
