So far, predictions of this have been rather vague, accurately reflecting deficiencies in the understanding of the mechanisms of climatic change. But a team working at the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia has now come up with a more detailed scenario for a warmer world. The crucial importance of this study is that it pinpoints the way…
