Summary
French climate scientists, including Valérie Masson-Delmotte, Jean Jouzel, and Christophe Cassou, express frustration and exhaustion at political leaders' continued denial and lack of responsibility regarding climate change. Despite years of scientific warnings and repeated heatwaves, they observe persistent unpreparedness, improvisation, and inadequate measures to protect vulnerable populations from the effects of global warming.
