Cutting uncertainty in regional climate predictions offers the UK enormous economic savings Synopsis: At regional scales and over the next four decades, the biggest source of uncertainty in climate predictions is differences between climate models. Focused research could reduce this by 10-20%, cutting the cost of adaption measures.
