Political leaders should take action to avoid the “global cataclysm” facing mankind, according to a letter signed by 200 people, including some of the world's most famous actors, artists and scientists.
Urging them to act “firmly and immediately” in the face of the “greatest challenge in the history of humanity”, the letter penned by actress Juliette Binoche and astrophycist Aurélien Barrau said: “We are living a global cataclysm. Global warming, drastic decrease of living spaces, collapse of biodiversity, pollution of soil, water and air, rapid deforestation: all the indicators are alarming."
Published in French newspaper Le Monde, it added: “At the current rate, in a few decades, there will be almost nothing left. Humans and most living species are in a critical situation.”
