Plate 11.2 (Fig. 11.2 on pages 294-5) Predicted annual changes in (a) average surface air temperature (°C), (b) average
precipitation (mm day −1 ) and (c) average sea level rise (m) from 1960-1990 to 2070-2100, when carbon dioxide concentra-
tion in the atmosphere is expected to have doubled. These predictions are based on a coupled atmosphere-ocean general
circulation model (HadCM2) of the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research, which assumes a midrange global
average temperature increase of 3.2°C. (© Crown copyright 2005, Published by the Met Offi ce Hadley Centre.)
