Did you know these little facts?

The 10 hottest years on record have all occurred since 1991, and that, according to insurance giant Munich Re, 700 natural disasters last year claimed 50,000 lives, almost five times as many as in 2002. Temperatures in Germany alone between July and August were of a kind that might be expected to happen only once in Europe in 450 years. By 2020, such heatwaves might happen every 20 years.

Mmmmm, global climate change…
