Climate change in Britain - in pictures

no%20snow.jpgThe National Trust asked ten photographers to answer the question 'what does climate change mean for Britain?' using their cameras. The results are shown in a new photography exhibition at Hoopers Gallery in London from the 12th of April, before going on tour around the UK - see below for all dates and venues.

The images (which you can preview online at the National Trust and Guardian sites (some different photos at each), show how wide the impact of climate change already is: the 'permanent' snowline on Snowdonia has moved drastically; exotic plants (and diseases) now flourish on the British Isles; and once-full moats and rivers run dry.

But the exhibition doesn't only focus on the negative. Other pictures show responses to climate change, such as the use of thermal energy and biofuels.

Exposed: Climate Change in Britain's Backyard is at Hoopers Gallery, London EC1, 12 April-11 May; Nottingham Castle, 19 May-1 July; Penrhyn Castle, near Bangor, 7 July-2 September; Bristol Museum and Arts Gallery, 2 November-2 December; and Waterfront Hall, Belfast, January 2008.
