Opportunities

Warmer temperatures in the UK may well be welcomed by many people. The introduction of different animals and plants could have its benefits, as well as negatives.

Our lifestyles could change dramatically and we could spend more time taking part in activities outdoors (in the summer anyway).

Employment patterns could change too. The tourist industry in the UK should improve and that would create jobs throughout the country.

Although some negative aspects will be felt in agriculture, many new crops will be able to be brought to production. An increase in vineyards, sunflower plantations and other farming could all be potentially lucrative fields of agriculture.
