Crippling droughts in Africa’s Sahel region, flash floods in Southeast Asia, sweeping bushfires in Australia, melting permafrost in Siberia: Once the theoretical preserve of scientific models, the impacts of climate change are suddenly becoming a whole lot more real. Europe, to date, has avoided the worst of it. Generated by the warming of the Pacific Ocean, this periodic phenomenon could see temperatures soar to record levels over coming months, scientists warn.
