When I used to write about something called global warming, many folk would only half-jokingly comment that they wouldn’t mind Britain having a bit of a warmer climate.
As we realised that it wasn’t that simple, we used the more accurate description “climate change,” but the last few weeks of tropical heatwave here in Britain and in many other places around the globe suggest global warming wasn’t so far off the mark.
Today Britain is roasting in yet another week of heat, with parts of the country reaching temperatures of 36°C (95°F). After weeks without rain, as you read this in today’s Morning Star I hope you and I are enjoying torrential downpours with as much as 30mm (in) of rain expected to fall in an hour.
