A respected UN organization issued an unprecedented warning.
"In an astonishing announcement on global warming and extreme weather, the World Meteorological Organisation signalled last night that the world's weather is going haywire...The unprecedented warning takes its force and significance from the fact that it is not coming from Greenpeace or Friends of the Earth, but from an impeccably respected UN organisation that is not given to hyperbole... events this year in Europe, America and Asia are so remarkable that the world needs to be made aware of it immediately."
