Powerful storms have battered areas of central and southern Europe, killing at least 12 people including three children.

The deaths, most from falling trees, were reported in Italy and Austria, and on the French island of Corsica.

Heavy rain and winds wrecked campsites on the island, while in Venice, Italy, masonry was blown off the belltower of St Mark's Basilica.

The storms follow weeks of heatwave and drought across much of the continent

2. The death, destruction, damage, migration will be horrendous.

And we could have prevented all of it.

8. International agencies, national, regional, local, village elders? Public or private?

Gathering info from all those noting deaths from climate change into one number would be a challenge, but if you follow this topic, you'll never lack for reading material.

6. Extremes in weather are the new norm.

Europe is going to see tourism fall off and economies will suffer.
