^{France has a mainly temperate climate. Northern and western France are mainly low-lying, but there are some high mountain regions with the Alps and Jura in the east and the Pyrenees in the south, as well as the Massif Central in central southern France. Consequently, there are considerable variations in climate.}

^{The global warming recorded in mainland France during the 20th century is about 30 % greater than the average warming throughout the globe. The average annual temperature has risen by 0.95 °C in mainland France, compared to 0.74 °C globally. These values are even higher for only the second half of the 20th century: increase of 1.1 to 1.5 °C over the period 1950-2000 (2), or 1.5 °}
