TRANSCRIPT
• By 2080, 2oC warmer in summer• Winters 1-2oC warmer• 2oC 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
