  1. The eu is facing a perfect storm of existential threats. Global warming, covid pandemic, economic crash , brexit and threats from both the Chinese and the Russians. If the heat waves continue, crop production will be reduced, particularly if the heat produces a large number of violent thunderstorms. The heat will further reduce tourism already suffering a reduction due to the pandemic. The lack of social distancing in the hot weather with further aid the spread of the virus.

  2.  Anthony Burke  it is you who are deluded. The only reason France has not been attacked by the Russians is because France has nothing to attack. China is annoyed with the uk for the stand it is taking on human rights in Hong Kong and the exclusion of Chinese technology from uk 5G networks. France can only grow its own food if the climate allows it, global warming is likely to greatly reduce French, and EU, farm productivity. This at a time when the CAP is likely to be reduced due to the reduction of funds coming from the UK. Uk tourists spent more in the eu than the reverse. Many are now planning holidays in the uk rather than europe, that's a lot of money that will stay in the uk economy rather than going into that of spain, Italy or France. in any case it will be far too hot to enjoy a holiday in europe, 40 p!us degrees is skin cancer weather.

  3.  Anthony Burke  the CAP has a lot to due with the uk, as it was a major contributor to it for decades. Do you really think French nuclear power is any real deterrent for the eu. It will only be used as a last resort to defend France. There is a very good chance that global warming will greatly reduce farming productivity across europe and inefficient French farms will not be immune.
