Feels like June today . Record March temperatures, rivers drying up in the east and fish transferred to other rivers. Widespread hosepipe bans predicted.
Any experts on here wish to comment?

I've yet to see a climate change expert, it all seems to be either biased and based on continued funding or influence by big corporations or governments political bias

The truth is out there somewhere, but who should you believe ?

Drought in the south of England has very little to do with rainfall, but a lot to do with the population doubling under New Labour. Now birthrates were falling, so lets see if you can work out why...

Very little infrastructure improvement coupled with huge population density == drought.

This is caused by unsustainable levels of abstraction from rivers and water company selling of reservoirs for housing.

Conclusive proof that Scotland is hotter than ever

However, it has now emerged that Cromdale in the Highlands recorded a temperature of 23.2C on Monday but the weather station reading was not taken until Tuesday morning.

Before this weekend the record March temperature in Scotland stood at 22.2C.

It was recorded in 1957 at Gordon Castle, in Moray, and again at Strachan, in Kincardineshire, in 1965.

So Scotland is (clearly) a whole degree hotter than it was in 1957 (and 1965)

The Range Rover was launched in 1970

Don't know if any went to Scotland though...
