Andrew Ibrahim moved from Florida to Portugal for a better life for himself and his family. When I rented in South Florida, I rented a one-bedroom apartment that cost me about $2,600 a month. In South Florida, you have so many different options for different cultures of food. I'm enjoying the culture and values in Southern PortugalThe south of Portugal is, I'd say, 350 days a year of sunshine. AdvertisementSouthern Portugal is kind of like island living because you have so many beaches around you, so it's very similar to living in South Florida.

"It just confirms that climate change is the biggest threat to our planet, to humankind, and will remain so for the next decades and we do need to do everything we can to mitigate the effects." Scientists say climate change is making heatwaves more frequent, intense and likely to happen across seasons, not just in what were regarded as the summer months. "Acting now is much cheaper than waiting for years and then patching up the damage that has been caused," he said when asked if he saw any signs of drift in Europe's climate agenda. FUNDING GAP AND 'GLOBAL BOILING'Aschbacher is among the most senior climate-monitoring officials to voice concerns over wavering support for measures to combat climate change - a creeping negative reaction that some climate activists have labelled "greenlash". This would significantly impact Europe’s commitment to combating climate change."
