Stunned: ...it has become about 10 times more likely for the UK record to be broken as a result of human influence on the climate.” They say according to textbooks there should be between 20 and 30 species in flower. This year there were 368 in bloom. It raises further questions about the effects of climate change... “ This is extraordinary,” said Tim Rich, “Fifty years ago people looking for plants in flower at the start of the year found 20 species. This year the total has amazed us – we are stunned. “ We are now in our fourth mild winter. Human influence on the climate is likely to have substantially increased the chance of breaking the UK and CET temperature records. Estimates from the Met Office suggest that it has become about 10 times more likely for the UK record to be broken as a result of human influence on the climate.” bit.ly/BbcBritClimateFlowersBloom
