Climate Update September 2007
Tuesday 9 October 2007
2007 is likely to be one of the warmest and wettest years ever recorded in Scotland.
Dr Dan Barlow, Acting Director of WWF Scotland, said:
"For most of us September was a mixed bag of some nice sunshine and some early autumn chill. Thankfully after the wet summer suffered by many in Scotland, we had a lower than average rainfall. Despite the average temperatures this month 2007 still remains on course to be among the warmest years ever recorded and the Met Office are now forecasting another mild winter.
"Climate change is a reality, tackling it will require action across a number of sectors. With power generation responsible for a third of Scotland's climate emissions, last week's announcement of a Parliamentary Inquiry into energy issues has a key role in informing the Scottish Energy Strategy and ensuring that this sector delivers cuts in line with the proposed Scottish Climate Bill target to reduce Scotland's emissions by 80% by 2050."
