ADENAU, Germany — German Chancellor Angela Merkel says the world “must hurry” in the battle against global warming, as she visits a flood-stricken German area ravaged by a heavy rain many experts have attributed to climate change.
“We must hurry,” she tells reporters after touring Schuld, a western village devastated by last week’s deluge. “We have to be faster in the fight against climate change.”
