Madrid heading for 50degrees Celsius

Madrid temperature could top 50 Celsius by 2100

MADRID (Reuters) - Summer temperatures in Madrid could soar to 50
degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit) by the end of this century if global
warming continues unchecked, an Environment Ministry report said on
Tuesday.

Rainfall in southern Spain, large areas of which are already at risk
of desertification, could fall by as much as 40 percent.

The ministry wants to

persuade the governments of the 17 autonomous regions, who have wide
powers over environmental policy, to prepare for global warming and to
help stop it.

"The fight against climate change cannot be merely a list of good
intentions," Environment Minister Cristina Narbona told a news
conference, saying cooperation of the regions was vital.

The regions and town halls would have their progress evaluated and the
results published.

Spain, struggling to contain emissions from an economy growing
annually at 4 percent, is one of the countries that climate change
will hit hardest and where carbon emissions are growing fastest.

Tuesday's 50 pages of measures to curb emissions include moves to
discourage the use of cars in cities, such as increased parking
charges, higher taxes on the most contaminating vehicles and better
public transport.

Houses will be encouraged to phase out coal-fired boilers while
commercial buildings including shopping centres will have strict
benchmarks for efficient heating and cooling.

Farmers will be encouraged to reduce emissions by managing animal dung
or using less nitrogen-based fertilizer to reduce the release of
nitrous oxide, another greenhouse gas.

Spain has an energy saving plan and renewable energy goals already in
place and recently took steps to enforce the use of solar panels and
increase energy efficiency in new buildings.

The report said that in a worst case scenario, average maximum
temperatures in inland Spain will rise by 5-8 degrees Celsius by the
end of this century. Madrid's mercury peaks in the 40s Celsius during
July.

In a less dramatic scenario, where industrial countries manage to curb
greenhouse gas emissions, the interior would be 3-6 Celsius hotter on
average.

Spanish greenhouse gas emissions were 49 percent above 1990 levels in
2004, the highest of any backer of the Kyoto agreement, and it has to
cut them to a 15 percent increase by 2008-12 under its commitment to
the international accord.

Do you know why I said that? because south of France already got so hot,
like 105 F, Spain is naturally hotter because it's a little closer to
equator. Your newsman is stupid!
