France on Thursday defended keeping climate change off the agenda at a meeting of G7 environment ministers in Paris, saying it was necessary to avoid a clash with the United States.
Ecology minister Monique Barbut said Group of Seven ministers had made progress on environmental issues even if climate change was studiously avoided on the opening day of the talks.
“If I had tackled the issue head-on, there would have been no G7,” Barbut told reporters during a trip to Fontainebleau forest south of the French capital with the visiting ministers.

Trashing the planet to appease a senile man conducting an illegal war. Looks like much of Europe is content to watch from the cuck chair.

Trump controls France with his immaturity. They are too flustered to deal with it, so France just goes ahead and pretends that the most important issue humanity has ever faced isn’t even worth talking about.
What happens when people are dropping dead this summer from another heat wave? Just ignore it. Trump might throw a tantrum.
