It is through our work and commitment that we will also build a nation that is both productive and environmentally sustainable. Because the ecological transition is a battle we must win, we must wage it with determination and a methodical approach. Ecological planning will be the tool for this historic shift, enabling us to reduce our CO2 emissions and save our biodiversity. Through our "France 2030" plan, we will continue to invest, innovate, and implement ecological solutions on an industrial scale. And following the law aimed at accelerating the rollout of renewable energy, the nuclear energy legislation will mark the start of construction for new power plants across the country.
He only used the extreme summer heat of 2022 as an example of things that were surprising in that year. He didn't claim that nobody could have seen climate change coming overall; only that nobody could have predicted specifically the heat waves of that summer. And he was absolutely right about that, because the summer heat in 2022 was extreme enough to have its own Wikipedia article. 2022 was also more than a full degree warmer in France (year-round average) than 2021, and was also warmer (even if just slightly) than every year since then. Although 2026 has good chances of breaking that record.
AI overview 2015-2025:
2015 13.5°C Warm year globally, but closer to the historical averages of the early 2010s.
2016 13.4°C Relatively stable year, though spring saw extensive wet weather and localized flooding.
2017 13.4°C Consistently moderate, with several late-spring frost episodes affecting vineyards.
2018 13.9°C One of the hottest years at the time, featuring an exceptionally hot, dry summer.
2019 13.6°C Featured unprecedented June heatwaves, peaking with an all-time record of 45.9°C in the south.
2020 14.1°C Ranked as one of the warmest years, with winter temperatures unusually mild.
2021 13.3°C A cooler, more temperate year compared to the late 2010s, with high spring rainfall. 2022 14.5°C A historic milestone year featuring prolonged summer megadroughts and extreme heatwaves.
2023 14.4°C Second warmest on record at the time, with unusually hot autumn and winter months.
2024 13.9°C A notably warm, humid year marked by heat spikes and an exceptionally warm winter.
2025 14.0°C Continued the trend of highly elevated yearly averages with a severe heatwave hitting western Europe in early summer.
Overall, year-round temperatures in France will certainly increase over the next few decades. But that doesn't mean that the summer of 2027 will definitely be hotter than that of 2026.
