As those of us living in the parched deserts of, erm, Northern England can attest, it's been rather hot recently.
Insanely hot, one might say.
London has suffered through temperatures of upto 38 degrees. This is the same temperature that Hstorm and I experienced in Turkey eight years ago. It's slightly over blood temperature, which means it's currently easier to be a lizard in London than it is to be a mammal.
California wins the record for absurdly over-the-top heat, with temperatures of upto 46 degrees centigrade. You can cook eggs on rocks there at the moment, and over 100 people have died. Yes, died.
Now that the most populous state in the USA has started to see fatalities, and we're looking at the third climate-change-related event in as many years, could this be the trigger for America to finally accept that carbon emissions need to be cut?
