Watch this space - Mike's talk will be available to read in CA-WN Exchange at a later date. In summary he said that climate change will have a profound impact on our natural environment. We need to be prepared to adapt because as far as Northampton and the UK are concerned we cannot be sure what is coming, or how fast. All we know is that we can't stop it and there are likely to be surprises.
