From the Scottish Sun

SCOTLAND’S climate is changing faster than expected, according to new research.

Boffins at the James Hutton Institute in Aberdeen says average February temperatures have already reached some projections for 2050.

They found in certain parts of Scotland, temperatures have risen by 2.5C in February – with an average of 16.9C in the period of 1960-1989 increasing to 19.4C during the three decades of 1990-2019.

Researchers also warned of an increase in water scarcity in the near future, stating it could threaten agriculture, forestry, animal habitats, and hamper the country’s peatland restoration efforts.

The number of consecutive dry days is also expected to increase in drier months, including September.

Dr Rivington said: “Our climate is changing and this has many implications.

“It will increase stress on species and habitats and how well ecosystems function.

“Without fully functioning healthy ecosystems, agriculture and other ways nature supports society and the economy become impeded.

“Threats include water shortages reducing agricultural productivity, and risk water supplies running out at points in the year.

“Less and warmer water in streams impacts river health and water quality due to higher concentrations of pollution, but also increased potential for flooding in winter due to increased rainfall.”

Back on Earth, February temperatures in Scotland have barely altered in the last twenty years:

And summer rainfall trends have changed little over time:

I suggest the Scottish Government asks for its money back, as it has been sold a pack of lies.
