SYNOPSIS
The Mediterranean Sea is what scientists call a Hot Spot for Climate Change. That is particularly true for the south-east of France which, according to the IPCC models, is going to be struck in the next 30 years by higher risks of sea rising, forest fires, floods and drought, all due to the temperatures rise between 2 and 4°C. This is the highest and fastest warming since the end of the last ice age.
Like a futuristic journey through time, "Hot Spot 2084" anticipates the consequences of warming on the Mediterranean shore. What will the 21th century look like in that area inhabited by 5 millions and where the population rises over 10 millions just on the French Riviera in summertime? Will we be able to meet the greatest challenge of our lives? Will our grandchildren be able to live there?
