Paris Deputy Mayor Audrey Pulvar released a lengthy statement blaming the United States for the deadly heat wave that hit France this past week. In her Instagram post, Pulvar said the U.S. holds a significant share of responsibility for the extreme heat affecting France.
According to Fox News, Pulvar’s statement was directed at American journalists and social media influencers who she said had been mocking Paris for not having air conditioning in every room. She argued that the criticism was unfair, given the role she says American emissions play in global warming.
