Le réchauffement climatique n’est “contesté par personne”, assure Marine Le Pen
PARIS — Après plusieurs mois où la France fut frappée de plein fouet par les conséquences du dérèglement climatique, Marine Le Pen est revenue sur ses propos relativisant la crédibilité des scénarios du Giec, la référence scientifique mondiale sur le climat, dans un entretien à POLITICO. Assurant que le réchauffement climatique “n’est absolument contesté par […]
After several months of France being hit hard by the consequences of climate disruption, Marine Le Pen returned to her comments downplaying the credibility of IPCC scenarios in an interview with POLITICO. Asserting that climate warming "is absolutely not contested by anyone", Marine Le Pen attempted to qualify, during the POLITICO Playbook Paris Live summit, noting that some "hypotheses [of the IPCC] are optimistic", while others "are more alarmist".
The National Rally presidential hopeful zeroed in on the most alarmist hypothesis, a claim that Politico was unable to verify. In 2023, the frontrunner of the far-right party had declared that the IPCC had "always been alarmist", as reported by JDD, but POLITICO was unable to confirm the question posed at the time. Concerning greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, Marine Le Pen declared France "best placed" to achieve them thanks to its nuclear power grid.
The IPCC reports reflect the scientific consensus on the state of the climate, being compiled by synthesizing existing studies. Since the multiple heatwaves and wildfires this summer, the National Rally has softened its discourse on climate warming, seeking to break with the downplaying or denial of climate warming reported by some party elites in the past.
