French Minister Warns: We Have Exactly 500 Days Left to Save the Earth

The thing about prophecy is that you really need to keep these things vague.

Specificity is not your friend.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius met with, get this, John Kerry, to speak of the Signs and Portents the Sky Gods had showneth him:

Well, I’m very happy to be with John. There is no week without a phone call or a visit between John and myself, and we have on the agenda many items, many issues – Iran, because negotiations are resuming today; the question of Syria, and we shall meet next Thursday in London together; Ukraine as well; and very important issues, issue of climate change, climate chaos. And we have – as I said, we have 500 days to avoid climate chaos. And I know that President Obama and John Kerry himself are committed on this subject and I’m sure that with them, with a lot of other friends, we shall be able to reach success on this very important matter.

The Weekly Standard dryly notes:

France is scheduled to host the "21st Conference of the Parties on Climate Change" in December 2015, about 565 days from now.

Maybe let's not bother, then.
