Cars are bad for the climate - and climate change is bad for cars

A family were left with a £15,000 bill after a 'mini hurricane' brought down two trees on both their family cars. Gutted Terry Bawden, 56, has been left the huge bill after the freak weather blasted across his back garden.Force 10 winds ripped across his home - felling two 80ft trees which landed on top of his VW Polo and Vauxhall estate.

Expect to see a lot more freak weather in the years ahead...

Meanwhile

Trees in the western United States are dying twice as quickly as they did three decades ago and scientists think global warming is to blame.
