Global weather patterns are changing faster than most governments would like to admit. The international community has discussed the impacts of climate change at length but has been able to achieve little to counter it. Not only this, but each passing year likely brings more of these extreme weather events to a greater number of regions. In practice, however, there is little more than an attempt at firefighting, rather than looking for innovative or long-term solutions to the effects of climate change. Western Europe’s heatwaves are still one effect of the many associated with climate change; here at home, there are a multitude of risks.
