BBC on Climate Change - The Impact on the UK

Since coming in to power in May 2006, Ealing Conservatives have introduced policies to encourage greater use of cars on our roads whilst simultaneously degrading public transport by removing bus lanes and cutting car parking charges. The result will be more traffic, more congestion and more pollution for Ealing residents. Every day we, and our families and friends, will be breathing in more Co2, subject to noisier, dirtier streets and will be spending more time stuck in traffic jams!

That's just the short-term scenario. For a longer term prognosis of the effects of pollution on our environment the BBC One programme ‘Climate Change - Britain under Threat’, in which Sir David Attenborough, Matt Allwright and Kate Humble explore the impacts of climate change on the UK, gives us an insight into the damage such irresponsible policies will exacerbate.

Experts consider the changes that the UK can expect given the most likely results from the BBC's experiment.

Jay Wynne from the BBC Weather Centre presents reports for typical days in 2020, 2050 and 2080 as predicted by the BBC experiment.
