Abstract

A 2007 survey covering rural areas in nine US states provides data on perceived local impacts of climate change. Perceptions vary from region to region, with a pattern suggesting links to real climate—specifically to winter warming in snow country. A multivariate analysis using mixed‐effects ordered logit regression confirms a significant perception‐temperature relationship, net of individual background and ideological characteristics, and of regional variations. These findings invite more detailed research. Copyright © 2009 Royal Meteorological Society

## Abstract A regional climate model (RCM) at 25 km resolution, coupled to a simple urban land‐surface scheme has been used to assess the sensitivity of UK urban climates to large‐scale greenhouse gas (GHG) induced climate change, local forcing from urban land use, and anthropogenic heat flux (AHF)
