Panel discussion: It's been one of the hottest summers in many parts of China. Record temperatures have baked vast areas of the east with Shanghai hitting the 40-degree mark. We have also seen a drought in the southeast of China, floods in the southwest in Sichuan, more floods in Heilongjiang in the north east and even snow in Xinjiang in the middle of August. -Prof. Martin Beniston, Director, Institute for Environmental Sciences (ISE), University of Geneva. -Bob Ward, Policy and Communications Director, Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science. -Wu Changhua, Greater China Director of The Climate Group.
