Extreme weather made worse by climate change

China Daily  

Water is used to cool down a sheep rescued from a forest fire in Boa Vista, Portugal, on Tuesday. Piet Filet, a flood expert, said reducing the impact of floods in and around the Sydney Basin "will require a long-term resilience building program with communities in flood-prone catchments". Filet, from the Australian Rivers Institute at Griffith University, said the history of flooding in Australia "not only reflects changing baselines in the frequency of extreme rainfall events, but also the need for key aspects of resilience building to be in place well in advance". European Union Commissioner for Interinstitutional Relations Maros Sefcovic said on July 7 that the present drought in Europe could become the "worst ever". Rick Thoman, a climate specialist at the International Arctic Research Center in Fairbanks, Alaska, said several factors including global warming have played into this year's fire season.
