Even with stringent carbon emission control…
…, to which biodiversity cannot adapt in the same way as it can to gradual changes. Therefore as well as Box 3: Projected climate changes for the East Midlands Medium emissions scenario for the 2050s; Increase in winter mean temperature is likely to be between 1.1°C and 3.4°C.
