Traduction de «peak oil two views » (Anglais → Français) :

Within this business, I would suggest to you, the unemployment rate is about 0%. In the next month or two we will probably be above 155,000 workers in the oil and gas business, which was where we were when it peaked in early 2008.

A number of scenarios to achieve an 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions implying some 85% decline of energy-related CO2 emissions including from transport, have been examined.[8] The Commission has also analysed Member States' and stakeholders' scenarios and views.[9] Naturally, given the long time horizon, there is uncertainty associated to these results, not least because they rely on assumptions which themselves are not certain.[10] It is impossible to anticipate whether an oil peak will come, since new d ...[+++]iscoveries have occurred repeatedly; to what extent shale gas in Europe will prove viable, whether and when Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) will become commercial, what role Member States will seek for nuclear power, how climate action across the globe will evolve.

Rather than take snap decisions at a single reading, it was right to opt for further negotiations with the Council and the Commission, because this was precisely the sort of matter that lent itself to treatment at one reading with a view to resolving all the complex issues rather than burning the midnight oil two years hence at meetings of the Conciliation Committee, which would have had to discuss the same problems we are examining today.

4. HOLDS the view that both processes should be guided by the ultimate objective of the Convention: stabilisation of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system, within a time-frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change, to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner; REITERATES its view that in order to meet this objective, overall global mean surface temperature increase should not exceed 2°C above pre-industrial levels and that significant global emission r ...[+++]eductions will be necessary in accordance with the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities; NOTES that this will require global greenhouse gas emissions to peak within two decades, followed by substantial reductions in the order of at least 15% and perhaps by as much as 50% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels; NOTES that failure to achieve such reductions urgently would lead to an increased risk of abrupt climate change; IS CONFIDENT that the Montreal Action Plan provides the appropriate means to discuss with all parties ways and means to achieve this objective;

It really essentially means that oil production worldwide, in terms of both oil and gas, is projected to peak within the next year or two.

Within a few days of the disaster it had become clear that the sectors most affected by the oil slick would be, in the short-term, the tourist industry and, in the medium- and long-term, the fisheries sector, since Brittany and the Vendée are two regions which are important not only from the point of view of the exploitation of fisheries resources; they are also two of the key areas in the development of Community aquaculture, being the home of leading oyster and shellfish farms which are a mainstay of the regional economy.
