Climate warning

This puddle of water used to be a lake

"It's June 1, and here's what's left..." Silence. "There is only one puddle left. So if there, we do not realize that there is a problem, it is that we have a problem." In the middle of the Mercantour National Park next to the ski station Auron, in the French Alpes Maritimes, lake Petrus is a small lake but it always has water, until this year, reports Fabien Girardi a local photographer. "It's really dramatic, there were everywhere around the lake," commented Fabien circled by dead frogs. It's only June and almost all the Alpes-Maritimes has been placed on drought alert since May. And France could face a historical drought during the summer. I am sending a climate warning to Eric Ciotti who is one of the MPs for the Alpes Maritimes at the French Parliament since 2007. He is running for reelection this weekend, and his interest in the climate issue is limited as he spends most of his time focusing on migration and security. Maybe we could tell him that the climate crisis will lead to more immigration and insecurity? https://www.nicematin.com/environnement/si-la-on-ne-se-rend-pas-compte-quil-y-a-un-probleme-un-lac-du-mercantour-a-sec-a-cause-de-la-secheresse-771877

      maybe they can't, but we can try to tell them that if they don't act now, they won't be reelected

      If there's not enough water, there will be emigration out of his area. In the US, we redraw the districts for our representatives every 10 years, & if a state loses lots of people, it loses seats. Does France do something similar? It's clear that he only cares about his own problems - if someone was running against him & focusing on this issue, supporting the challenger would be the obvious solution.

        Yes I think in France it is the same: each district is supposed to have the same amount (more or less) of people. However, the number of people doesn't determine the number of seats. But the thing is that France's water infrastructure is pretty good and water is not (in France) a reason for people to move out. Therefore, regions will not lose habitants
