Published Date: 10 August 2008
ENVIRONMENTAL campaigners yesterday warned that Scotland could have to deal with more floods and landslides in future because of climate change.
WWF Scotland has been examining Met Office data and said last month was 1.4°C warmer than the long-term average.

WWF Scotland director Dr Richard Dixon said: "We are now seeing floods and landslides closing roads and railways. This is just the kind of impact we will expect to see more of as the climate changes further."

Matt there,

Oh. I thought this might be a story about how Labour Party members are flooding comments so that they reach 1,000 and stop other people from commenting on the stories? Even when the comments are deleted as they still show up as a deleted comment.

But it isn't. sorry. My mistake.

Incidentally 1.4C over the average is not statistically significant, so Dr Dixon seems to be basing his case ob fluff, not science.
