Big thumps up if this is the question of a climate denier: No we are not having thet because of dumping a lot of CO2 that had been captured over millions of years into the atmosphere, but it is because French's nuclear plants are so rusty that we now used so much more biomass - lol.

If this ""winter"" continues like that I believe we will even use less gas/coal than previous years.. not sure why you think this year is record-setting.. we just switched to different sources?
