The UKCIP is the United Kingdom Climate Impacts Programme based at the Environmental Change Institute of Oxford University. It "was established in 1997 to help co-ordinate scientific research into the impacts of climate change, and to help organisations adapt to those unavoidable impacts."
Here is a snapshot summary of UK climate trends for anyone interested, but not enough to download the 22MB report.
"The climate of the United Kingdom and recent trends"
1) Central England Temperature has risen by about a degree Celsius since 1980, with 2006 being the warmest on record.
2) It is likely that there has been a significant influence from human activity on the recent warming of CET.
3) Temperatures in Scotland and Northern Ireland have risen by about 0.8 ēC since about 1980, but this rise has not been attributed to specific causes.
4) Annual mean precipitation over England and Wales has not changed significantly since records began in 1766. Seasonal rainfall is highly variable, but appears to have decreased in summer and increased in winter, although with little change in the latter over the last 50 years.
5) There has been considerable variability in the North Atlantic Oscillation, but with no significant trend over the past few decades.
6) Severe windstorms around the UK have become more frequent in the past few decades, although not above that seen in the 1920s. There continues to be little evidence that the recent increase in storminess over the UK is related to manmade climate change.
7) Sea-surface temperatures around the UK coast have risen over the past three decades by about 0.7 ēC.
8) Sea level around the UK rose by about 1mm/yr in the 20th century, corrected for land movement.
9) The rate of absolute sea-level rise (i.e. corrected for land movement) around the UK in the 1990s and 2000s is higher than that for the 20th century overall; the latter being about 1mm/yr. [although they do not commit to a value for 90s and 00s rising, the report hints that it may be around 2mm per year]
