EcoCities, University of Manchester. 2 1 Introduction The UK Climate Projections (UKCP09) provided through the UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP) is the latest and most comprehensive package of information on the potential future climate for the UK. Continuing improvements in modelling and understanding of the climate system allow climate projections to be periodically reviewed and refined. This latest set of projections is an improvement on the last suite of UKCIP02 scenarios as they are downscaled to a 25km grid and provide a probabilistic element. Thus, for the first time, it provides information on the relative degree to which each projected climate outcome is supported by current evidence. Changes in the Gulf Stream are taken into account, as are carbon feedbacks are aerosols. The UKCP09 projections are therefore more complex, but respond to demands from users for this level of detail (Murphy et al., 2009). The UKCP09 website provides a range of readily-available information for the future climate of the North West region. This includes text, graphs and mapped outputs1. This report compiles some of this readily-available information to summarise the key future changes to the North West region. In addition, it includes some customised information that was created in the UKCP09 user interface2. This document summarises climate projections information for the North West region in tables, graphs, maps and descriptions. It provides information for a range of climate variables, time periods, emissions scenarios and probability levels. It begins by providing a brief background to climate change, the emissions scenarios used in UKCP09, an introduction to the probability levels including an explanation of how probability should be interpreted in the climate projections, and a note on time periods. The information on the future climate of the North West region is of potential value for a wide range of stakeholder groups wishing to learn more about this subject. Although the UKCP09 website provides access to some of this information, and offers the potential to obtain more through the user interface, this report brings together a summary of the relevant climate change projections data for North West England in an easily accessible format. 1.1 Background to climate change The Earth’s climate has continually changed throughout history, influenced by natural factors such as volcanic activity, changes in solar output, changes in the Earth’s orbit and oscillations in the climate system such as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The difference between these natural cycles and the recent changes in climate we have experienced is the rate that change has 1 UKCP09 pre-prepared maps and graphs for North West England are available at: http://ukclimateprojections.defra.gov.uk/content/view/292/499/ 2 UK Climate Projections User Interface can be accessed at: http://ukclimateprojections- ui.defra.gov.uk/ 3 occurred. Global warming rates have increased to 0.17 ± 0.05°C per decade – likely to exceed any 100-year rate of warming during the past 1000 years (EEA, 2004). These recent changes to the climate cannot be explained by natural causes (Stott et al., 2000; Hulme et al., 2002). In fact, we can now state that it is very likely (>90% probability) that this warming of the observed global average temperature is due to anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases (Jenkins et al., 2007). In other words, humans are contributing to warming through emissions of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, causing the climate to change beyond its natural variability. These human-induced emissions include carbon dioxide, one of the main greenhouse gases, the atmospheric concentrations of which have increased by 34% compared with pre- industrial levels, and an accelerated rise has occurred since 1950 (EEA, 2004). Changes to land use and natural systems on a global scale, including the loss of rainforest and changes in agricultural practices, also contributes to the increased emissions of greenhouse gases. Some degree of climate change is now inevitable due to the impact of historical emissions, and the amount of future warming will greatly depend on the future emissions of greenhouse gases (Section 1.2), the extent of land use change, and the associated response of natural systems. 1.2 Emissions scenarios In order to make projections of climate change in the UK over the next century, it is necessary to make some assumptions about future emissions of greenhouse gases (and other pollutants) from human activities (Murphy et al., 2009). The IPCC Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) (Nakienovi and Swart, 2000) defined different future emissions pathways based on potential storylines for the future. These representations of the future development of emissions are based on a coherent and internally consistent set of assumptions about factors such as demographic changes, socio-economic development and technological change. Six storylines for future emissions were developed, each resulting in different estimates of greenhouse gas emissions and the associated increase in global

SOPWITH 1*, K. OSBORN 2,R.CHALMERS3 AND M. REGAN 1 1 Health Protection Agency, North West Regional Office, Liverpool, UK 2 United Utilities, Warrington, UK 3 Cryptosporidium Reference Unit, National Public Health Service for Wales, Swansea, UK (Accepted 24 May 2005) SUMMARY Between 1996 and 2000, rates of cryptosporidiosis in North West England were significantly higher than overall in England and Wales, particularly during the first half of each year. In addition, during the second quarter of each year in this period, up to 40% of all cases recorded in England and Wales were from the North West Region. In 2001, cryptosporidiosis dramatically decreased throughout the United Kingdom and the springtime excess of cases formerly seen in the North West was no longer apparent. This changed epidemiology was due to a decline in cases of Cryptosporidium parvum (formerly genotype 2), associated with zoonotic transmission. Although the initial loss of a spring peak of infection corresponded with the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease throughout the United Kingdom, its continued absence relates to major structural changes in the North West public water supply. This study highlights the far-reaching public health benefit of local working relationships in addressing re-occurring disease issues. INTRODUCTION In the past 10 years, there have been several springtime clusters of cryptosporidiosis in the United Transmission of the protozoan parasite Crypto- Kingdom relating to various sources of drinking sporidium to humans has been documented by direct water [4–7].

  • Assessment of the Resource Base for Engineered Geothermal Systems in Great Britain
    Busby and Terrington Geotherm Energy (2017) 5:7 DOI 10.1186/s40517-017-0066-z RESEARCH Open Access Assessment of the resource base for engineered geothermal systems in Great Britain Jon Busby* and Ricky Terrington *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract British Geological Survey, An assessment of the engineered geothermal system (EGS) resource base that might Keyworth, Nottingham NG12 5GG, UK be available for the generation of electricity for Great Britain has been undertaken by adopting a globally self-consistent protocol that if universally adopted, would allow estimates of EGS made for diferent countries and regions to be comparable. Maxi- mum estimated temperatures at depths of 5 and 7 km are greater than 200 and 300 °C respectively, a considerable increase over previous estimates. The total heat in place in the basement, to a depth of 9.5 km that is theoretically available for EGS is 357,197 EJ. If it were possible to develop just 2% of this resource, this would be equivalent to 1242 times the fnal UK energy consumption in 2015. The theoretical and technical poten- tial power has been calculated from the available heat in place. The total technical potential power, to a depth of 6.5 km, is 222,393 MWe and represents just 0.4% of the theoretical potential power. Current EGS exploitation is more likely to be restricted to a depths of around 4.5 km and reservoir temperatures greater than 175 °C. In which case technical potential power is mainly restricted to regions of high heat producing gran- ites and represents a total technical potential power of 2280 MWe.

  • North West England & Isle of Man: Climate
    North West England & Isle of Man: climate This describes the main features of the climate of Cheshire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cumbria, part of North Yorkshire and the Isle of Man. The eastern boundary of the region lies along the watershed of the Pennines. There are several distinct geographical areas within the region. Much of the area west of the Pennines from Lancashire southwards forms part of a plain, mainly below 150 metres, with westward draining rivers such as the Mersey, Ribble and Lune. Liverpool and Manchester are the main centres of population. To the east, the Pennines are a chain of rolling gritstone moors rising to well over 600 metres and reaching their highest point at Cross Fell (893 metres). The Pennines form a natural barrier to east-west communications, but there are the Tyne gap linking Carlisle and Newcastle and the Aire gap linking Lancashire and Yorkshire. The Lake District in Cumbria includes Scafell Pike (978 metres), the highest mountain in England, and Windermere, the largest lake. To the north and NE, there is further low ground (below 60 metres) in the Vale of Eden and the Solway Plain, close to Carlisle. Most of the Isle of Man consists of a central mountain mass rising to 621 metres on Snaefell. Douglas is the main town and the centre of the island's tourist industry. The range of topography and altitude found in both NW England and the Isle of Man provide a climate of great variety, and the region includes both the coldest place in England (Cross Fell in the Pennines) and the wettest place in England (the Lakeland fells around Seathwaite in Cumbria).

  • Liverpool, Manchester and Market Power: the Ship Canal and the North West Business Landscape in the Late Nineteenth Century
    Liverpool, Manchester and market power: The Ship Canal and the North West business landscape in the late nineteenth century Graeme J. Milne The grooves in which trade runs are exceeding deep, and it needs an infinite amount of trouble to make it face the jolt and effort of the change even when the new groove is demonstrably far better than the old. The opening of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1894 was an important event in the history of late Victorian engineering, trade and transport, and its construction and early operations have spawned a considerable body of literature.2 Some of the canal’s wider and longer-term implications are less well known, however. The Ship Canal raised major questions of civic pride and identity, becoming a shibboleth for ‘patriotic’ Liverpudlians and Mancunians, and challenged assumptions about the relative power and influence of seaports and inland, manufacturing cities. This article focuses on Manchester’s attempts to expand its trade after the opening of the canal, and the extent to which it was thwarted by obstruction from Liverpool and by the inertia of established trading systems. As such, it explores economic and business aspects of a broader regional controversy that have perhaps been studied less fully than earlier disputes about the actual building of the canal.J 1 Manchester Guardian, 29 August 1894. 2 For example, Bosdin Leech, History o f the Manchester Ship Canal from its inception to its completion (Manchester, 1907); David Owen, The Manchester Ship Canal (Manchester, 1983). 3 Important exceptions are D.A.
