By 2080 temperatures in the UK could rise by four degrees Celsius, according to the BBC's climate change experiment. To get more info you'd refer to this website:

I've quoted one article here for your reference - is it dreadful or the end of the world is coming?

World results

Each of you who took part in the experiment ran a full global climate prediction model. So what do the experiment results tell us about global climate changes?

2070s

The experiment predicts a 4°C rise in temperature for the UK by 2080. But how does the rest of the world fare? New Zealand escapes with a lower temperature increase while Alaska should expect a larger rise than the UK. Find out below why different regions of the globe will heat at different rates.

Regional temperature changes from around the world

Compare the average temperature change predicted up to 2080 for selected regions around the world.

Find out why some areas are likely to heat more than others.
