Climate Change and Extreme Weather: What concerns us most. Dr Andrea L Climate Change and Extreme Weather: What concerns us most? Dr Andrea L. Taylor

Climate change in the UK Expected to lead to increases in…. Rainfall and flooding Heatwaves and water shortages Climate Change Risk Assessment (2012, 2017)

Boxing Day 2015, Kirkstall Photographer: Stephen Craven

“Greenhouse gas reduction” What can we do to limit climate change?

“Prepare for the impacts” What can we do to cope with those impacts that do occur as a result?

Perceptions of weather Strong increase No change Strong decrease Taylor et al. (2014) Data from 2013 national survey by Ipsos MORI (n=2007)

Why does this happen? Easy to recall recent heavy rainfall and flooding… Boxing Day 2015 Photography: Juliet Jopson (Right) Chris Birtles (Centre and Left)

Why does this happen? Less easy to recall recent experiences of extreme heat in the UK… 1976 Heatwave Photograph by Trevor Rickard

Why does this happen? Wet weather tends to elicit negative emotions….

Why does this happen? This is not necessarily the case for hot weather….

Is this a problem?

What would you prioritise? “Air pollution getting worse from hotter weather” “More homes being flooded” “Public services being disrupted due to heavy rainfall” “Crop failure due to extreme weather pushing up food prices” “New pests and diseases become more common in the UK” “New crops previously grown abroad become more common in the UK due to a warmer climate” “Droughts causing serious water shortages” “Towns and cities becoming unbearably hot” Paraphrased from 2013 national survey by Ipsos MORI

UK residents’ greatest concerns Threats to the health of vulnerable people Threats to food and water supply Threats from flooding

Challenges Concern about climate change tends to be linked to recent weather experiences. In the UK this means that we anticipate greater flood risk but not necessarily dangerous temperatures. What can be done to increase preparedness for weather and climate risks? Thank you
