Listenening to him and reading his latest comic book (&lt;i&gt;Le monde sans fin&lt;/i&gt;) made me very aware of climate issues and directly influenced my behavior.&lt;p&gt;He deserves to be better known by international audiences. Here are some of his talks in english:&lt;p&gt;- &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=wGt4XwBbCvA&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=wGt4XwBbCvA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=s254IPHXgVA&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=s254IPHXgVA&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
