Default [GW] Interesting (GWUK).

Global warming will affect some parts of the earth differently to others, hence my term GWUK to describe what is/may happening to the UK. This is an interesting report from the Met Office and worth a read. Whether that will continue in the UK is another matter. Recent research (Scaife et al) points to perhaps colder winters as at the Arctic loses ice. Overall, however, the world will continue to warm and we are, doubtless now, the major cause.

In addition, this very recent study (I know, paywalled) suggests strongly that Earth's climate sensitivity may well be at the high end of estimates - the oceans seem to have been absorbing more anthropogenic CO2 than was thought. That would be worrying in keeping CO2 emissions within guidelines.

For the sceptics/deniers here's a different view from Roy Spencer:
