Greenhouse effect
Physical aspects
What is the greenhouse effect ?
Why is it said that the earth is warming up ?
Has this warming up started already ?
Is climate change something different from the hole in the ozone layer ?
Is man the only cause of climate change ?
Are weather and climate the same thing ?
Greenhouse gases : what are they ?
What gases are greenhouse gases ? How much do they contribute to the greenhouse effect ?
Is it legitimate to say that carbon dioxide is a poison ?
What are the aerosols ? - what role do clouds play ?
Are we really sure that it's man that modified the atmosphere ?
Trying to guess the future
A climate change, is it just a change of the average temperature ?
What is a climate model ? What are the models' first conclusions ?
Should we trust climate models ?
How many extra degrees can we get ?
How do the present temperatures compare to the past ones ?
Will temperatures and precipitations evolve the same way everywhere ?
What is an emission scenario ? Is it important for the future ?
Will climate change get rapidely to a halt if we quickly decrease the emissions ?
Risks
Do we know if there is a "threshold of danger" ?
Will extreme phenomena of all kind increase in the future ?
Will marine currents change ?
Are the ecosystems at risk ?
Will we turn the ocean into an acid lake ?
Will we all be sick ?
Will oceans submerge everything ?
Will the "hole in the ozone layer" increase ?
Will men be able to stay calm ?
Won't certain regions of the world be spared by climate change ?
Can't we expect that "something" will slow down the process ?
Can the whole process get totally out of control ?
Should we fear methane hydrates ?
Tobacco and climate change : a little comparison
The carbon cycle
Won't the carbon sinks absorb the extra CO2 ?
Can't we just grow forests to compensate for our CO2 emissions ?
Scientists
Who are "the scientists" ?
Since when do "scientists know" for climate change ?
What is the IPCC ?
Should we believe anybody just because he(she) writes in the paper ?
Is the press correctly accounting for the available scientific information ?
Greenhouse gases and us
How do greenhouse gas emissions presently evolve ?
What is our present energy consumption like ?
Do I emit greenhouse gases through my daily acts ?
How much greenhouse gases in our plate ?
How much greenhouse gases in our wastebin ?
How much greenhouse gases does the author's family emit ?
Acting collectively
Won't a soon to come fossil fuel shortage solve the problem for us ?
Shouldn't we wait until we are totally sure of what's going on before we do anything ?
At what level must we stabilize atmospheric CO2 ?
What amount of CO2 should each of us be allowed to emit ?
Is leaving one's car in the garage sufficient to suppress the CO2 emissions in excess ?
Won't "the technique" save us ?
Can't we put the carbon dioxide in a big hole and just forget it ?
What collective actions could be done ?
What are the international negociations aiming at ?
Are the Americans the kings of evil ?
Who should reduce first ?
Acting individually
Doing one's good deed regarding climate change : what is the impact of individual actions ?
I run a business : can I "do something" ?
An example of emission calculation : how much carbon equivalent at Jancovici and co ?
Is there an ideal world ?
Are there "CO2 free" energies ?
What can be expected from the electric cars ?
Could we live just like today with only renewable energies ?
What would an "energetically vertuous" world look like ?
Economy
Does economic growth "create" greenhouse effect ?
Does it make sense to give a price to climate change consequences ?
What price increases would follow a carbon tax ?
What are the tradable permits ?
What is Kaya's equation ?
France
How much extra greenhouse gases emissions if we build a new airport near Paris ?
How much extra greenhouse gases emissions if we replace nuclear power plants by gas turbines ?
Oil, gas, coal, and friends
Oil and co
How do oil, gas and coal form ?
What is an oil reserve ?
Using oil ? But what for ?
How come it's been 40 years that we have 40 years of oil ?

What does producing coal look like ?
Using coal ? But what for ?
Is it dangerous to use coal ?

How did the price evolve since 1860 ?
Is the price of oil driving the price of energy at a whole ?
Is the price of oil driving the economy ?
Trying to foresee the future
When does the world oil production peak ?
When does the world gas production peak ?
When does the world coal production peak ?
How much will oil cost ?
Energy
Energy
