366W0576_climate change_husky.jpg Sled dogs and sled in Saariselka Northern Finland. Climate change has already raised average temperatures by 0.7 oC over the last century. Winters are getting both warmer and wetter and in Southern Finland winters are becoming increasingly snow free. As permafrost melts across the Arctic huge quantities of carbon dioxide and methane could be released leading to even further warming. Such iconic winter scenes could in a relatively short space of time become a thing of the past.

IMG_3325_Abbey Gardens.jpg The Abbey gardens on Tresco, one of the Scilly Isles, off South West Cornwall, UK, renowned for its tropical plants which are able to grow due to the Gulf Stream, or North Atlantic Drift. This is a warm ocean current which keeps the island warmer than they would otherwise be for their latitude, and also frost free.  Scientists have already recorded a slowing down of the Gulf Stream caused by climate change. As cold fresh water pours off the arctic ice sheets, it prevents the denser salty water from sinking, which is the start of the conveyor.

IMG_5219_mud cracks.jpg A farmers watering hole on a farm near Shepperton, Victoria, Australia, almost dried up. Victoria and New South Wales have been gripped by the worst drought in living memory for the last 15 years. River levels have dropped, water holes have dried up and stocking rates on many farms have dropped as the land can no longer support as many beasts.
