"Climate change is triple risk to Europe", 15 August 2017

Researchers have just issued three separate climate warnings to the citizens of Europe on the same day, in three different journals – a triple risk salvo... [T]he studies [confirm] research [...] that murderous levels of heat and humidity could affect many millions if there are no steps to drastically reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that drive global warming and climate change... [T]he European researchers warn [...] that even if the world’s nations do [...] contain global warming to no more than 2°C by 2100, temperatures will almost every year tip to 40°C in many parts of Asia, Australia, North Africa, and both North and South America, and in Europe there will each summer be a 30 per cent probability of similarly strong heatwaves. And with such high temperatures comes the increased risk of other climate-related disasters... [C]limate-related events could deliver more premature deaths than air pollution... The scientists warn that shifts in flood timing could have considerable economic and environmental consequences.
