According to former chief scientific advisor to the government Sir David King, brits ‘haven’t learnt lessons’ on climate change and could face weather worse than Great Storm of 1987.
‘We’re not doing nearly enough to be able to make sure we don’t have these extreme weather conditions again in the future.’
‘Information is being given out on a much better scale today, and the shocking events we are seeing now are all learning curves. The storm hit during the night, and it is believed that the number of fatalities of 18 would have been larger had the storm hit during the day. People continually blamed the Met Office for their lack of foresight about the severe storm, but now there is more scrutiny associated with weather forecasts in order to properly prepare the population if there is a severe storm on the way.
