Fires, floods, flying insects: 10 recent climate-fuelled disastersGreece's worst heatwave in decades fanned deadly wildfires that burned nearly 100,000 hectares. Scientists say the Mediterranean rim is a climate change "hot spot" with worse to come. The extreme heat was "virtually impossible" without human-caused climate change, the World Weather Attribution (WWA) science consortium said. Scientists have warned Australia can expect more frequent and more extreme weather events as a result of climate change. The WWA's analysis said climate change made the historic cold snap -- which devastated most of France's wine regions -- about 70% more likely.
