A summer marked by lethal temperatures and wildfires has exposed a widening gulf between voters demanding action on the climate crisis and politicians who remain unwilling to confront long-term choices required by global heating. Addressing the summer congress of his France Insoumise party last weekend, French radical-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon stated that the climate crisis means society will have to change everything, including the ways people live, produce, and trade. Mélenchon also remarked that while the term climate change may sound reassuring, its actual impact will feel like landing on another planet upon leaving home. A poll this week indicated that Mélenchon is seen as the most likely rival to Marine Le Pen in the upcoming presidential run-off.
