W: Welcome to Science Today. A lot of people say that the climate is changing. But is that true? I’m joined today in the studio to discuss this question by Mark Pontin, head of the World Climate Organization. So Mark, is that true?
M: Well, yes. A whole series of very unusual weather phenomena have been noted over the past month. In the States, for example, there were more thunderstorms last month than in any previous month since records began.
W: There have been similar things all over the world, though, haven’t there?
M: Yes, indeed. India, for example, is one of several places in the world to have experienced particularly high temperature over the last month - at 45 degrees. This is three degrees above its normal temperature at this time of year. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, has experienced some unusually heavy rainfall.
W: Has anything special been happening in Europe?
M: Yes. England and Wales have had remarkably strong winds and Switzerland has been enjoying an amazing hot period - the country hasn’t had such a heat wave since the mid-18th century.
