The french pension reform attempts have been going on for decades ... Every president, be they socialist or liberal, have attempted to tackle the issue, only to get country-paralyzing backlash.... it isn't a sustainable system.

Good For them?

They've been trying to change this forty years? So they were trying to change this back when it ipso facto was sustainable, since it's survived 'till now. How credible does that make the current effort.

Certainly, America has changed a bunch of supposedly "unsustainable" things into ... utter misery for the average person.

Awkwardly that same logic applied to global warming would not work out well. Under the rug is not a solution unfortunately.

So?

Do you have any argument that these two questions should be approached the same way?
