Climate projections suggest dramatic shifts by end of the century

Parts of Britain could see average temperatures rise by almost 4°C in the next 70 years, with major reductions in summer rain and increased winter precipitation. All of these would have a severe impact on people's health and quality of life, the economy and the natural environment. Figures published by the Met Office, and presented by senior Ministers on Thursday, highlighted the severity of climate change the UK is likely to face.
