Europe’s Atlantic-facing countries will suffer heavier rainfalls, greater flood risk, more severe storm damage and an increase in "multiple climatic hazards," according to the most comprehensive study of Europe’s vulnerability to climate change yet.
    Temperatures in mountain ranges such as the Alps and the Pyrenees are predicted to soar to glacier-melting levels, while the Mediterranean faces a "drastic" increase in heat extremes, droughts, crop failure and forest fires.
    (3) Europe and the entire Northern hemisphere are warming at a quicker pace than elsewhere, to the extent that tropical diseases such as West Nile fever are expected to spread across northern France by mid-century.
    Hans-Martin Fussel, one of the lead authors of the European Environment Agency report, said that scientific evidence was pointing increasingly to a speeding up in the pace of climate change.
    (4) "We have more data confirming that sea-level rise is accelerating," he said. "It is not a linear trend, largely due to increased disintegration of ice sheets. There is also new evidence that heavy precipitation has increased in Europe. That is what is causing the floods. The climate projections are coming true. "
Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.
3. What do we learn about the entire Northern hemisphere?
4. What does Hans-Martin Fussel say?

选项 A、The trend of climate change can be reversed.
B、The sea-level rise is a linear trend.
C、The rising sea level is largely caused by floods.
