Trees and Bees in Hertfordshire - the County Council Responds to Situations and to Public Concerns
There's no doubt that global heating is changing the UK's climate and making it noticeably warmer. Not all changes are uniform of course. Most people will have heard of the Gulf Stream. This is a stream of warm water which drifts across the Atlantic and keeps the UK 5 degrees C warmer than the corresponding parts of Canada. The ocean movements are quite complex but the Gulf Stream is slowing down. At the moment there is a 15% chance is could stop by the end of the century. If that happened then the UK would feel the chill quite quickly. Of course that might not happen and, if it did, then it might still be centuries away.
