From recent research I have noted: That Global temperatures could rise anywhere between 1.5 and 5.8°C by 2080 and more heat waves in summer has been predicted .The UK could be hit by 10 extra severe storms similar on scale to the Great Storm of 1987 It has also been predicted that the earth's climate will rise by 3 degrees over the next 100 years resulting in (1) Sea levels rising (2) Global food supplies reduced (3) Three billion people could suffer increased water stress (4) Two hundred and ninety million people could be exposed to the risk of malaria and (5) Tropical rain forests could also disappear due to water shortages It is said that the UK will be affected by most of the expected global impacts of climate change. It is likely that there will be a northwards shift in natural habitats and agricultural zones of 50-80 km per decade Scientists also believe that there will be significant impacts on soils, wildlife, water resources and agriculture in the south of England.
