Climate shift 'evident in Europe'

Climate shift 'evident in Europe': The effects of climate change are already evident across Europe and the situation is projected to get worse, warns the European Environment Agency.
The European Commission is expected to publish its European Adaptation Strategy in 2013, outlining measures it think will help the 27-nation bloc deal with future climate shifts.

On Monday, the World Bank published a report that warned that the world was "on track to a 4C [increase by the end of the century] marked by extreme heatwaves and life-threatening sea-level rise".

"Lack of action on climate change threatens to make the world our children inherit a completely different world than we are living in today."
