English Secretary of Defence links wet winter to climate change
UK storms: Hammond says climate change 'clearly a factor'
BBC News
Climate change is "clearly a factor" in the period of stormy weather the UK has been experiencing, the defence secretary has said.
Philip Hammond told the Andrew Marr Show the storms and flooding had caused "quite serious damage" to the country's infrastructure.
Earlier, Labour leader Ed Miliband said global climate change was an issue of national security for Britain.
Their comments come as more flooding is expected in many parts of the country.
Despite a let-up in the stormy weather, there are 14 severe flood warnings - indicating a "danger to life" - for south-east England close to the River Thames and two for the Somerset Levels, which have experienced weeks of flooding.
