The first week of July was the hottest on record, global warming is at work but the El Niño phenomenon is also playing its part. Ihe UN also called, on Tuesday 4 July, on governments to anticipate the consequences of the El Niño weather phenomenonwhich has just started and is generally associated with a rise in global temperatures.
We talk about it in franceinfo junior with David Faranda, climatologist at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). The specialist is interviewed on the show by CM2 students from the Louise Michel school in Vigneux-sur-Seine (Essonne).
