My perspective is I'm much more concerned that France has to take US Gulf Coast level climate management steps in the first place. I think all the advice is good, but I don't think the problem is lack of knowledge but rather denial that the climate crisis is as bad as it is. I am not offended, sorry to both of you if it came off that way.

Ah so it's the fault of the US for France's heatwave?

If it's related to climate change, then definitely yes.

US responsible for about a quarter of cumulative CO2 emissions, and has been #1 since about 1911.

China is emitting more now, but cumulative emissions are only half as much.

And France has done its best to invest in nuclear power.
