Beaucoup ne s'en rendent peut être pas compte mais on est d'ores et déjà dans une sorte de banalisation des extrêmes météo. Concernant les canicules, les corps de beaucoup commencent à s'habituer à ces enchainements et ça devient petit à petit un non évènement surtout dans le cadre maintenant de la rentrée scolaire et d'autres actualités qui deviennent brûlantes (la présidentielle arrivant). J'ai assez peu de doutes sur le fait que les valeurs records de chaleur pour septembre attendues entre vendredi et dimanche, feront bien moins la une qu'entre juin et août. Encore une fois ce qui permet tout immobilisme, c'est l'oubli climatique (la mémoire de poisson rouge). Comptez sur moi dans les prochains mois pour rappeler qu'on est sur "une année folle". Les médias aussi dans leur schizophrénie perpétuelle, vont parfois nous ressortir "le plaisir" de profiter des chaleurs et de la grande douceur, là en l'occurrence ne parler que d'une bonne nouvelle pour les professionnels du tourisme. Mais à quel prix ? Notre agriculture est sinistrée, nos forêts et nos écosystèmes sont en très très grande souffrance mais oui pardi faut se réjouir pour les professionnels du tourisme. J'ai un peu de mal avec ça maintenant mais bon peut être que je suis devenu trop obtus. En tout cas, les prochains jours seront tout sauf anodins avec des records mensuels de chaleur battus et la barre des 40,de nouveau atteinte par endroit entre sud-ouest et pourtour méditerranéen. La sécheresse va de nouveau se renforcer et c'est pas le pauvre front froid mercredi prochain clôturant cette nouvelle vague de chaleur, qui y changera grand chose. Désolé pour le ton un peu alarmiste, habituellement je suis mesuré, mais je trouve la période très très inquiétante surtout que les fortes chaleurs sont loin d'être terminées. #Climat #ChangementClimatique #Canicule
