Summer 2018 and the world is burning.

A heatwave has seen the highest ever temperature recorded in Glasgow, and water supplies drying up in Moray, while large parts of the UK bake.

Across the world, wildfires in Greece killed at least 60 people, hundreds dead or missing after flash floods in Laos collapsed a dam, Japan has declared its heatwave a natural disaster, after 65 deaths in a week and forest fires in Sweden are burning inside the Arctic Circle.

Record breaking temperatures have been also been recorded across the world over the last month, including Ottawa, Canada; southern California; Ouargla, Algeria; Tibilisi, Georgia; Tokyo, Japan; Sydney, Australia.

Scientists have said these events are linked to human-caused rises in global temperature – but a small group of climate change deniers have claimed they are nothing more than natural fluctuations in the weather.

So that’s why we’re asking: is global warming causing this summer’s heatwaves?
