Spain warned of global warming threat to beaches
Global warming may cost Spain many of its famous beaches and could push summer temperatures over 50C (122F) by the end of the century, according to research released yesterday.

The country is particularly vulnerable to hotter weather because of its economy and geographical situation, the environment ministry said.

Spain already includes Europe's only desert and tourism - much of it beach-based - accounts for more than 11% of the national economy.

(snip)

Temperatures have already soared to over 45C (113F) in summer and could get up to seven degrees hotter by 2070-2100.

A big welcome to China, too.
