The Long Hot Summer - Part Two

Bu bölüm hakkında

<p>This summer the Northern Hemisphere has been sweltering in unusually high temperatures. It has been hot from the Arctic to Africa. This has led to increased deaths, notably in Canada, and more wildfires, even in Lancashire and in Sweden.

He picks apart the influences of the jet stream, El Niño and the Atlantic decadal oscillation from that of global warming.</p><p>(Photo: Arctic Pack Ice near Svalbard, Norway.
