Friedman, Thomas L. Hot, Flat, And Crowded; Why We Need A Green Revolution And How It Can Renew America (page 126)
"The heat wave in Europe in July- August 2003—when it was consistently over 100 degrees F a h r e n h e i t - killed 35,000 people," concluded Holdren. "That heat wave was estimated as a one-in-a-hundred-year event. Before we started fiddling with the climate, it was considered a one-in-2 5 0-year event. What the models now show is that by 2050 it will be a one-in-two-year event and by 2070 it will be an unusually cool summer in Europe."
