Climate we had in 20th Century 'has now gone' - Met Office

Why This Matters

The Met Office's warning that the UK's 20th-century climate has been irreversibly lost underscores the profound impact of human-induced climate change on global ecosystems. This shift has significant implications for biodiversity, as cold mountainous areas are not only warming but also losing their unique characteristics. The loss of these ecosystems will have far-reaching consequences for the planet's ecological balance.
