The UK should be prepared to cope with weather extremes as a result of at least 2C of global warming by 2050, independent climate advisers have said.

Yes the warming will only increase by .5°C in the next 25 years. Absolutely that’s only as far as it’ll go
Current long term tried is not much more then 0.1 a decade, so they’re expecting that to double by the looks, we’re at about 1.3 now.
Once we hit 2, or there abouts, then it’s the beginning of the end as by then to many tipping points will have been crossed, we’ll keep going and civilisations collapse will be inevitable.
AT least 2°c
So that could also be 20°
Of course. Thankfully the BBC didn’t minimise it to quite that extent, this time. I just think the general takeaway from the average person seeing this headline would be to think that it’s likely going to be that or a bit over by 2050. It wasn’t too long ago that many people in the UK were hearing small numbers like that and going “oh well it’d be nice if it got a bit warmer here, why is this a big deal?” Seems the massive uptick in heat waves in recent times, and how it’s getting overtly worse each year, has put a stop to that though for the most part
AMOC collapse isn’t talked about enough in Europe. Y’all got an extreme outlier temperate zone for your latitude. Once the AMOC collapse occurs that’ll mean harsh, bitterly cold winters and hot, humid summers.
London won’t have rare snow events, it’ll have snow pack from December to March.
Yep that gulf stream does a lot for us. But people generally don’t know this as climate science is suppressed as much as possible by the powers that be. Gunna be a real fun time in the future
