Global warming is piling up in Paris as one of the biggest early December blizzards in decades sweeps across Europe. And as if re-enacting one of the country’s many humiliating military defeats, French bureaucrats immediately ran up the white flag.
The BBC is in the know on the snow:
Heavy snow in Paris brought buses to a halt on Wednesday, suspended flights at Charles de Gaulle airport and prompted the closure of the Eiffel Tower.
Motorways in the Paris region were described as impassable as snow that had already hit other areas of France spread to the capital.
… The Meteo France service reported that one of its Paris weather stations had recorded 11cm (4.5in) of snow. The French capital has not seen a larger one-day snowfall since 1987.
Although the Paris Metro and rail network were operating normally on Wednesday, Charles de Gaulle airport closed for part of the afternoon until workers were able to clear the runways of snow.
The operators of the Eiffel Tower decided to close the monument as salt could not be used to tackle the snow and ice because of possible damage to the iron structure.
The national centre for traffic information described secondary routes in the Paris region as “catastrophic”. By mid-afternoon, the bus operator RATP declared that not a single bus was running.
In fact, the only thing that’s still running in Paris is the people. And they’re running away from the global warming scam just as fast as they can.
