WEATHER IN THE PUBLIC EYE
Weather is an inexhaustible source of surprises for us, but now sudden changes in it serve as a cause of concern, for many experts in the field regard them as a manifestation of the global climate change due to the steadily growing hothouse effect as a result of man's activity.

However, other specialists believe that the global temperature will rise by 1°C at the most. Even worse, their most irreconcilable opponents insist that the critical point has been passed, that the Gulf Stream will change its route, with the Scandinavian Peninsula and North America becoming ice-clad and the Arctic and Antarctic glaciers turning into water-in a word, humankind is certainly doomed.
