More floods for Europe

A study finds that slow moving storms could become 14 times more common over land by the end of the century.

The storms projected in the new study move even more slowly than those which drenched Germany, the Netherlands and other countries in the past week and so would lead to even more extreme rainfall and flooding.

The early estimates for the costs of the flooding are in the region of €6 billion. If you think fixing global warming is expensive, what about the costs of more frequent and more devastating storms?
