		Europe had the warmest summer in about a century. The winter has been average so far. 
 
Predictions are that temperatures will rise a few degrees (0.7 to 3.5 degrees Celsius) the next 50 years, and the sea level will rise 20-30 centimeters the next century. These increases are, IIRC, the second-largest figures ever measured. I believe some of it is natural (we're in an interglacial), but human actions certainly makes it worse.
