Analysis of temperature records at the Meteorological Office in England show the country's average temperature to have risen 1 degree Celsius since 1950. Animals in Britain are moving north to cooler zones, and spring is coming earlier to the continent of Europe. Researchers David Karoly (University of Oklahoma) and Peter Stott (Hadley Centre-UK Meteorological Office) concluded, based on computer climate models, the rise is due to anthropogenic (human) causes, namely the release of greenhouse gases. The findings are published in the journal Atmospheric Science Letters.
