The UK has updated its 2002 projections of climate change for Britain.
The updated projections are based on three global GHG emissions
scenarios (high, medium, and low). The mid-case scenario, along which
the world is currently tracking, is projected to bring about a 7.2
degree F increase in summer temperatures to Britain by 2080.
Precipitation is expected to increase in winter and decrease in summer.
