Why climate scientists need to talk more about the very worst‑case scenarios
London is underwater. The Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral and the Bank of England are all submerged. Far away, the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets have collapsed, triggering accelerated sea-level rise which, combined with a storm surge in the North Sea and a high spring tide, has led to water flooding over the Thames Barrier. Thousands of shops, offices, schools and houses are several feet deep in effluent-rich water.

Extreme weather is making work difficult for many people – this is what needs to change
Climate change leading to extreme weather events is making life uncomfortable for many UK workers. A new survey reveals the depth of the problem.

Scientists said the high of 15.4C broke the previous record set at the same station in 1998 by 2C. “This is absolutely crazy,” said Raúl Cordero, an Ecuadorian climate professor at the University of Groningen. “It is also about 20C above normal for this time of the year. That is a huge anomaly.”
