By 2080, 2 o C warmer in summer Winters 1-2 o C warmer 2 o C warmer in English Channel Winters wetter, summers drier 20% less rain in Summer Up to 50% less snow in Scotland Increased energy-use in Summer Loss of some unique species Increased yields of some crops Summer droughts more common Widespread lawn die-offs in SE Increased water pollution Sea level rise of 48cm 1-in-50 year storm surges become 1-in-10 year surges Globally, by 2080: Risks to unique ecosystems and communities Financial costs for most people Increased risk of extreme climate events Sources: UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP.org.uk) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC.ch Losses of coastal land Increased flood damage Bigger waves and greater erosion
