The following is from Liam Fox's book "The Coming Storm" :
"The scorching summer of 1858 brought things to crisis point. In June with temperatures averaging 34 to 36 degrees in the shade and up to 48 degrees in the sun, the dry conditions saw the river levels drop to such a low level that raw effluent from the city sewers lay on the riverbanks. It was the beginning of what became know as the "Great Stink". Charles Dickens wrote " I can certify that the offensive smells, even in that short whiff, have been of a most head and stomach distending nature"."
What has happened to Climate Change in the time since then?
