Paragraph 2
Professor Peter Stott of the UK's Meteorological Office said: "We are getting used to
high temperatures being recorded
around the world every year now." He added that his
concern was not the
that regions are experiencing more
, but that record high temperatures are increasingly being broken by such large
. Talking about Canada's recent "heat
" weather event, professor Stott said: "It is telling us that changes in average climate are leading to
escalation not just of extreme temperatures, but of extraordinarily extreme temperatures." The scientists warned that a
world would mean more droughts and heat-
deaths.
