In some areas warming could be significantly higher (10 degrees or more).
The Arctic could warm by up to 15.2 °C for a high-emissions scenario, enhanced by melting of snow and ice causing more of the Sun’s radiation to be absorbed.
For Africa, the western and southern regions are expected to experience both large warming (up to 10 °C) and drying.
Some land areas could warm by seven degrees or more.
The good news is that The National Trust Says That England is going to look like Portugal :
The apple orchards have been replaced with orange groves, the turf covered over with gravel and the summer borders replanted with cacti. They may look like scenes from a Portugese holiday, but these images could be the future of the traditional English garden, plant experts claimed yesterday. The striking images are part of a National Trust campaign to highlight how gardens will look if global warming brings Mediterranean weather to Britain in the next few decades.

These are the types of statements that I live for! It is a clear and measurable prediction and I will likely live to see it happen…. or not. I’m not sure how the orange trees will fare when a cold arctic air mass (now only -20 deg. C rather than starting out at -35 deg. C) arrives over England. The trees in Florida didn’t fare well when it hit -ve territory last year.
Does anyone actually believe this crap!!
Tell that to the woman that was killed by Global Warming today http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1322471/Woman-dies-freak-accident-attempting-defrost-car.html
The National Trust … so imaginative … would make H.G. Wells proud.

I’m a bit confused Steve, Are you saying that you accept MMGW but that it will be a good thing (at least for English gardens not under sea water)?
