Just a reality check here - temperatures throughout June 2007 in Paris France
have been running five to ten degrees (C) below seasonal norm.

The normal high for June is about 21; the normal low is around 14. The temps
are only slightly below the norm.

Unfortunately, this is the exception, not the rule. Most excursions are heat
waves today. The temperature is increasingly above norms almost all the
time--sometimes by a lot, sometimes by a little, but always above. This has
been an accelerating trend for a decade.

The assertion "Climate changes in the past ten
years have been dramatic in much of the country" is demonstrably false, and has
no basis in fact.

The weather records say otherwise.

It is unclear whether this contributor is suggesting the past ten years have
shown desertification process in France ...

Desertification is not occurring, but drought is an increasing problem, as
rainfall has diminished in many areas. Even in Paris, it rains less than it
used to, and when it rains, it's much more likely to be a thunderstorm rather
than the intermittent, misty rain that Paris is known for.
