Climate Change

Key Facts about: Climate Change
Summer and winter precipitation: 1874-2007
England

Recent climate change scenarios have predicted that the UK will experience a change to rainfall patterns. Winters are expected to become wetter, while summers may become drier. The largest relative changes will be in south east England where summer rainfall may decline by up to 50 per cent by the 2080s.
Heavy winter rainfall will become more frequent, but the amount of snow could decline by 90 per cent by the 2080s.
The weather in the UK will continue to vary substantially from year-to-year for entirely natural reasons and any apparent short-term trends should be treated with caution. For example, in 2004 the United Kingdom experienced its wettest August since 1956.

Patrick Keiller London

A personal portrait of London, shot by experimental filmmaker Patrick Keiller over a period of twelve months in 1992, which saw the election of John Major as prime minister, renewed IRA bombings, the 'Black Wednesday' European monetary crisis and the "fall of the house of Windsor". The fictional (and unseen) tour guide, Robinson, takes a 'psycho-geographic' tour through the city, growing ever more disenchanted with early-nineties London

The Occupation, 2001 (15 mins)
A short film about the social cleansing and recolonisation of London’s East End. In part based on interviews with the following: Writer, Iain Sinclair; Professor Anne Power of the LSE; Kevin Sugrue, Head of the Hackney Regeneration Agency, Renaisi; Hackney based community activist, Peter Sutton; and some very amusing estate agents (details on application)

The London Particular, 2004 (30 mins)
Part 1 of a full-length film about the strange, neoliberal ‘renaissance’ of East London. This is a rough edit tracing the renewal of the city from the gentrification of Shoreditch, through the looting of social housing in Hackney, to the sordid reconfiguration of life, death and work on the fringe of the City of London
