French Foreign Minister: '500 Days to Avoid Climate Chaos'

French Foreign Minister: '500 Days to Avoid Climate Chaos' | The Weekly Standard
Secretary of State John Kerry welcomed French foreign minister Laurent Fabius to the State Department in Washington on Tuesday to discuss a range of issues, from Iran to Syria to climate change.
Or, in the words of the foreign minister, "climate chaos."
Kerry and Fabius made a joint appearance before their meeting, and the foreign minister warned that only 500 days remained to avoid "climate chaos"[emphasis added]:
Well, I’m very happy to be with John.
...And we have – as I said, we have 500 days to avoid climate chaos.
It is unclear what the foreign minister had in mind with the 500 days.
However, France is scheduled to host the "21st Conference of the Parties on Climate Change" in December 2015, about 565 days from now.
