According to a report from The Local, writer John Lichfield claims that Marine Le Pen does not believe in the reality of global warming. The article argues that the political discourse in France has become focused on the topic of air conditioning, creating a distraction from essential climate action.

The publication suggests that this debate threatens to drown out substantive discussions regarding environmental policy. By prioritising the issue of cooling systems over global warming concerns, the political conversation is failing to address the wider challenges posed by climate change, the article states.
