Climate change brings record flood levels to Hereford


This is serious. Climate change is causing more rainfall and, as a result, more flooding.

Because we are now more than 1C warmer as a whole versus pre-industrial times, every degree means 7 per cent more water in the atmosphere, and more rain in these heavy rain events.

If temperatures rise by 3C – an increase that the world is currently on track for – storms could bring about 20 per cent more rain than they would have done without climate change.
