I have been living in Guadeloupe, in the French West Indies, for almost 20 years (please excuse my English).
I know that the frequency of hurricanes being caused by global warming
has not been fully established, but I can tell you that lately every
hurricane season is more and more active. It begins earlier and
finishes later and keeps setting new records. Today is the 13th
of July and we are expecting "Emily" - the fifth phenomenon of the
season. I have heard that it is travelling very fast and that it is on
its way to the United States.
At the time of the Kyoto Protocol, the Bush administration was not
acknowledging the global warming crisis, but now it is obliged to face
it. France will suffer a lot from global warming, but some places like
the North and South Poles, will be more affected! The south of France
will experience a climate similar to the climate of south Spain or
Algeria in the future. This year there is a shortage of water and an
abundance of locusts, eating the crops like in Africa. And last
but not least, it will be affecting the quality of our greatest wines...
