BBC Countryfile program today - scientists agree that global warming will have a large impact on average temperatures in Britain.
A 5 degree increase in average temperature is forecast over the next 80 years or so.
Apparently each degree increase is the same as moving Britain 125 miles further south.
This may sound nice and we may get some longed-for European species as regular breeders but surely it would mean the loss of some of our colder loving birds such as Ptarmigan and Dotteral.
Next weeks edition is about the effect of global warming on Britains wildlife - should be interesting.
