Abstract
The scientists try to warn from decades about the risks involved in the rising of temperatures because of human activities. The Paris Agreement was an attempt to take decisions at the highest political level in order to reduce the emissions. The agreement was unfortunately mainly a political compromise very far from the goals which were needed to be achieved. Many governments still financially support the fossil fuels and livestock agriculture. Many others simply do not support renewable energy or the reduction of the consumption of meat. After the withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Agreement the situation became worse and the commitment of other countries to reach at least the goals agreed had weakened. Meanwhile all of the information which comes from the scientific community are very alarming. The global temperature is rising faster and faster. But which governments really listen these signals and which not. And which might be the future without a strong political will to reduce the emissions.
