§More evidence on the links between extreme weather events and human activity emerges. Physicists from Oxford have published an interesting piece of research in nature climate change providing evidence that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are partly to blame for the disastrous flooding in England during the winter of 2013/2014 leading to losses of GBP 451 billion. They found that "human influence increased the risk of low pressure northwest of Britain and the number of days with zonal flow over the North Atlantic and increased the risk of heavy precipitation in southern England."
