Paris facing climate change

Answers

1. The name of the book is Paris face au changement climatique (Paris faced with climate change).
2. Paris will resemble Marseille from the point of view of temperature.
3. However, the mistral (the southern wind) won't be coming to Paris.
4. The Haussmann roofs are made of grey zinc, a material that doen not insulate at all.
5. The attic rooms become like saunas.
6. France should cease to promote the naming of the roofs of Paris as part of the Unesco world heritage. 
7. Solutions for the roofs include: replacing the zinc with roof tiles, painting the roofs a white reflecting colour, insulating the roof from the inside, insulating the roof from the outside, vegetation on the facades of buildings...
8. Painting or changing the tiles would change the esthetic of Paris & the Haussmann heritage.
9. Vegetation in all areas both public and private (courtyards and pot on balconies).
10. Stop all motorised traffic in central Paris when conditions are very hot. Do not use air conditioners - the heat goes outside and makes the city hotter.
