For those of use lucky enough to be relatively unaffected in the past few months by killer weather, maybe we don't notice how bad it is. This is happening now in the northern hemisphere. And although it is unprecedented it looks to be the new normal.
Pakistan has its worst flooding in history. Thousands have died.
Flooding on a devastating scale in a country too poor to meet the needs |
China has its worst drought in history. Farm production is being crushed.
There are plenty of dried out land pics, including China's largest fresh water lake, now dry. |
US Midwest floods break records as 37 people were killed this month in Kentucky.
The Western US drought is the longest in history. Some climatologists say it isn't a drought anymore. It is the new weather with "arid-ifacation" (like it won't go back to what it was ever: even though we might have a few good years every now and then).
Wildfires are pretty common around the Mediterranean but painfully new to other places in Europe |
If you know Brits, there will be lots of painful sunburns the next day! |
