Dinner Adapting to Climate Change

Drought in spring, heavy downpours in summer and high temperatures in winter; these are only a few examples of changing weather conditions in the Netherlands. Other parts of the world are experiencing changes as well: extreme droughts and extreme floods; causing human loss and thousands of homeless people. The question is: are we in hot water? Or are we making a fuss over nothing?
