Climate change threatens France’s historic castles • FRANCE 24 English
for the past four months workers have been trying to strengthen the walls of the castle of Ombmo cracks have appeared and stones have become undone in all 2,000 tons of soil had to be removed urgently after exceptionally heavy rains last autumn threatened to cause a landslide the pressure of the water was pushing against the wall so we’re reinforcing the fortification so it doesn’t move in the next years other castles in the region are affected by climate change the castle of Shambour had to close for several days due to floods while the castles of Shonos and Azeridu have been having to adapt to the heat high temperatures cause algae to spread in the moat at Azerid preventing its famed reflection in the surrounding water i mainly clean up the ali for aesthetic reasons but it’s also necessary to do so so as to preserve the fauna in the mold the water level has significantly decreased over the past weeks causing concern that the wooden piles supporting the castle could become damaged if the water lowers and the piles become visible the wood could get worn and become less sturdy shadow from the castle of Shanti in the Paris region or if in Marseilles castles across France that are hundreds of years old could also be impacted in the coming decades
France’s world-famous castles are increasingly under threat from flooding and extreme heat driven by climate change, with workers often racing against the clock to carry out urgent repairs on and around these historic fortresses.

"Weather and time threaten historical sites."
Corrected
Now France doesn't have colonies to fund their funding. 😅
I like the stone castle build on wood pillars…
Climate change is a euphemism for immigrants.
This is not climate change it is just climate
"Using data from tree rings, researchers know that a terrible drought seized the American Southwest from 1276 to 1299; it is possible that in certain areas there was virtually no rain at all during those 23 years. Throughout the centuries, the Anasazi weathered comparable crises—a longer and more severe drought, for example, from 1130 to 1180— with no rain for 50 years." [The Smithsonian]
Magic CO2!
The actual threat to heritage is in fact socialists and communists. The left broadly thereby. Irony by rhetoric. Classic lol
Is climate change all you got?
What threatens isn’t climate change (which isn’t happening) but open border immigration from the third world.
