and then it causes the northern hemisphere to cool and i the southern hemisphere to keep the heat. so there is a contrast - between the temperatures in the northern hemisphere i and the southern hemisphere. and this difference in temperature causes a massive disruption in the atmospheric dynamics and changes - the atmospheric circulation . in a way that puts the tropical pacific into a la nina state. so it s quite interesting, because what happens l in the atlantic, it can impact| the tropical pacific and it can have implications for the whole globe, including australia. - i ve come to wennington parish church of st mary and st peter,
yes, i do get comments like that, and people sent me lists of past heatwaves as if that would prove that climate change doesn t exist because no one says that we never had heatwaves without climate change. in the uk it is always, oh, but it was hot in 1976, which is true, of course there are heatwaves without climate change. but with climate change we see many more heatwaves, and they are hotter than they would be. and if you are lucky and healthy and rich and have a well insulated house, that might still be fun. but if you are not rich and live in good housing, and if you maybe have already health conditions to deal with, then this can, this we take the fun out is actually a question of life and death. i ve come to wennington parish church of st mary and st peter, now, right in the centre of the village. and the vicar here is reverend elise peterson. now, she s currently over in the united states, but she s agreed to talk to us via video link. so, reverend elise, thanks so much
