KILLER freezes, floods and heatwaves will devastate Britain during the next 30 years, climate experts have warned.
Many people could die as extreme weather becomes common.
There will be more freak winds like the October storm, which killed four people.
Heatwaves will be lethal and the sea level will rise, leaving coastal towns at risk of being swamped by storm surges.
Sir Brian Heap, president of the European Academies Science Advisory Council, said he felt obliged to issue the warning after a new study by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
It comes on the back of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, which has killed more than 5,000 people.
Sir Brian said: Given the tragic events this year in the rest of the world and the recent IPCC report, EASAC feels obliged to draw attention to the growing impact of extreme weather in Europe.
The continents leading experts had made a detailed study of likely extreme weather, he said.
Sir Brian warned: From the major loss of lives in heatwaves to the economic and human costs of floods and storms, the implications are worrying.
They present the European Union and Member States with significant challenges in preparing Europe for a future with greater frequency of extreme weather.

Even Al Gore doesn't believe it. If he did, would he have bought a mansion right on the ocean front? Would his mansion in Tennessee use more energy in a month than the average house does in a year?
Never question the decisions of Roland Emmerich!
:)
they believe that they should never work a day in their lives,and that a carbon tax would guarantee that.
Prius drivers are useful idiots. To the GLOBALISTS, the environmental movement(global warming, climate change or extreme weather) is just a tool to provide revenue for the United Nations to become a true world government. Carbon tax, carbon credits, redistribution of wealth. COMMUNISM.
Does anyone see the irony that SUV’s may end up saving us from an ice age?
Maybe the non-Christian, non-WASP immigrants will go home to a warmer place.
Me too.
“GLOBAL WARMING” was a BUST and has somewhat fizzled out... I guess it’s time they tried selling the “GLOBAL FREEZING” idea.
Wait a minute. I thought the Earth “had a fever”?
“These watermelons just can’t seem to get it right.But,nevertheless,they’re convinced that we in the West should commute by roller skates,do without refrigerators and shiver in the dark.”
Of course we all know that it’s never been about climate change. It’s always been about white American guilt and America as the cause of all evil in the world.
F**k them!
If I remember correctly, the current “Global Warming” theory that blames carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere actually stemmed from a late Nineteenth Century scientist’s theory that any future ice-age could be prevented by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere.
After making a small fortune on the “Ozone Layer” scam, Al Gore then took this nineteenth century “Global Warming” theory and turned it into a scam that made him a fortune of “Global” proportion.
Now that’s an American success story if there ever was one.
What he describes are known symptoms of global cooling.
I think that what has changed is us.
My grandparents must have had a very tough time of it. The only heat in the house was the stove in the kitchen. On cold winter mornings when the temps were below zero, some unlucky soul had to light the fire and get it going. And the animals had to be taken care of early those freezing cold mornings. This went on all Winter. And yet they didn’t complain.
Life was tough by today’s standards. Some would argue that it would be child abuse for my dad and my uncles. But “life was good.” They survived and adapted.
No, they had it tough. We are wimps in comparison.
What is different is that we have turned into a country of wimps!
Ice Age Now. Great site I have it on favorite places.
Those are beautiful! I saw some of the same hi-res, magnified pics a few weeks ago, but not that many different ones, in the Fox News +story I posted. Can’t find it now.
Snowing to beat-the-band, here now!
Here in North Carolina, I left the house yesterday at 6 AM wearing a tee shirt, with the windows down on my car. Even ran the AC a little.
I was in a meeting for two hours. When I came out it was frigid. I grabbed a jacket and discovered it wasn’t heavy enough. Cranked up the heat in the car. The temperature dropped 15 degrees in less than two hours.
