Effects of global warming in the uk? what are Effects of global warming in the uk?

They say %26quot;Climate change will increase winter rainfall, the frequency of heavy rainfall, and sea levels and storm surge heights. With no change in Government policies or spending, climate change could increase the number of properties at risk of flooding to 3.5 million.%26quot;

The government agrees - the minister for climate change recently said %26quot;a second Thames barrier, [will be] potentially required within 25 years%26quot; as the existing barrier %26quot;may not be able to cope with rising tides by 2030%26quot;.

And this is just one effect (flooding)...!

over the last century or so mankind has managed to increase the carbon content of the planets atmosphere from 0.0003% to 0.0004% (source National Geographic Magazine) roughly the equivelent of a fart in a cathedral.The planets climate is just about the only part of the ecological structure that man hasnt screwed up. A lot of our energy and waste problems would be solved overnight if we burned waste in power plants and turned it into electricity

One effect that%26#039;s already is it no longer snows on London in the winter time.

I believe in the 1800%26#039;s London usually got 10 - 15 inches of snow per winter. By the 1960%26#039;s it drop to less than five inches. And now for the twenty years London hasn%26#039;t received more than an inch of snow.

There has also been a big up tick in summer storms with gale and hurricane force winds.

None. I have lived for over 72 years and these things go in cycles. I have seen three feet/four feet of snow in the winter followed by hot summers.I have lived through droughts and floods. So what is new.? Experience

Lies, lies and more lies.

Scare tactics by the government.

Global warming no longer occurs, thats why they had to start calling it %26quot;climate change%26quot;.

The people who promote global warming are often the same people who have positioned themselves to profit from it. So don%26#039;t let them pull you in too.

well you%26#039;ll be able to farm your lands again up in the north and vinards will florish. Great wealth and riches because the land bears bountiful produce!

Summers are becoming hotter, winters we don%26#039;t get snow any more, the extreme changes in weather.

LOL! @ global warming
