Britain’s climate is changing rapidly, with records regularly being smashed and extremes of heat and rainfall becoming the norm, the Met Office has warned.
In an updated assessment of the UK’s climate, the forecaster says heatwaves and periods of flood or drought are becoming more frequent and more intense.
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband called the findings “a stark warning” to take action on climate and nature.
“Our British way of life is under threat,” Mr Miliband told the PA news agency.
“Whether it is extreme heat, droughts, flooding, we can see it actually with our own eyes, that it’s already happening, and we need to act.”
Everybody sees if happening! Still voting for climate change deniers though; Trump, right wing parties… and in the uk: farage
Oh no, is it the consequences of our actions???
If human beings survive this why we didn’t act sooner will one day be a historical mystery.
