In 2014, France posted a fictional 2050 weather scenario showing intense heat. Instead of investing in nuclear power, electrification, allowing electric car imports to help reduce emissions, and government spending, they nerfed their energy production and tried to tell people to stop growing. The current weather is now worse than the 2050 prediction, and they still buy Russian gas and probably are growing imports from the US. France used to be the powerhouse of mathematics and logic, and was the center of the globe during the Enlightenment period. They also got a free stim pack in colonialism and to this day still engage in it. It's literally free money. How they ended up here where their citizens can't even plug in Air Conditioning even if they could afford it, despite having every advantage you could possibly have in the past 300 years of history, will be studied for centuries.
