[单项选择]Meteorologists routinely tell us what next week’s weather is likely to he, and climate scientists discuss what might happen in 100 years. Christoph Schar, though, ventures dangerously close to that middle realm, where previously only the Farmer’s Almanac dared go: what will next summer’s weather be like Following last year’s tragic heat wave, which directly caused the death of tens of thousands of people, the question is of burning interest to Europeans.
