Now imagine a summer like that every year. For those of us who are still around by the end of the 21st century, this is what we can expect, according to a new index that maps the different ways that climate change will hit different parts of the world. The map reveals how much more frequent extreme climate events, such as heatwaves and floods, will be by 2100 compared with the late 20th century. It is the first to show how global warming will combine with natural variations in the climate to affect our planet.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 just got back from a lunch break walk sunny.... at least its not been as bloody cold as it has been we are pretty low on rain here... but i think thats normal...i predicted back in december we'd have a dry beginning of the year (generally i've noticed, if the rainy season starts off with a bang, it lets up in january and comes back in feb or march with a fury...) peter VV Jan 19, 2007 12:13 PM Re: 2100: A world of wild weather 50 odd faranheit here and very wet and windy ( hey they`ve lifted that hosepipe ban!)
