BBC World Service - BBC OS, European temperatures fastest increasing globally

A report finds that temperatures in Europe have increased over twice the global average

A report finds that temperatures in Europe have increased over twice the global average.

The UN says Europe has witnessed the fastest temperature rise among the continents over the last three decades - with increases of more than twice the global average. A joint report by the World Meteorological Organization and the European Union's Copernicus Climate Service found that as a result, Alpine glaciers have lost thirty metres in thickness since 1997. So what does this mean? We'll speak to our climate correspondent to find out.

Also, all week on OS we're looking at the biggest issues in the US midterm elections, and speaking to people affected by them. One of the biggest issues is the cost of living, and the rising prices of things like food, energy and fuel. We'll speak to people affected by this.
