Protests spread across France as ‘yellow vests’ set to join - Al Jazeera

France’s ‘yellow vest movement’ – comprised of a group of trade unions and citizens – have organised a major nationwide protest on Saturday to voice their objection to the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and rising fuel prices gripping the country. Speaking to Euronews, a representative of the movement revealed that the protest was arranged in part to support the student-led mass protests which have rocked the country in recent weeks, demanding the government revamp the education system, increase in school funding and access to resources as well as modernise classrooms and institutions.

An online movement against rising fuel prices has gained momentum ahead of planned nationwide demonstrations on October 17 with former Yellow Vest figures set to join the protests in support of high-school students. Some are drawing parallels between the latest action and the 2018 cost-of-living protests that rattled President Emmanuel Macron's first term in office.

image: (a) During glacial periods, sea level fell, and the loosely exposed sediments on the shelf underwent significantly enhanced silicate weathering. (b) During interglacial periods, sea level rose and the river mouth retreated landward; fine-grained materials were rapidly transported into the sea, reducing the time and space available for sediment reweathering. This study is led by Associate Researcher Zhang Jin (first author) and Researcher Wan Shiming (corresponding author) from the Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Tongji University, University College London, and other institutions. They identified a marked difference between glacial and interglacial periods, with silicate weathering carbon consumption rates being significantly higher during glacial periods, and proposed that the mid-latitude shelf region was an underestimated active silicate weathering carbon sink during glacial periods.
