Good afternoon.  My name is Rowan Sutton.  I am a climate scientist and director of the Met Office Hadley Centre.  The Met Office is an executive agency of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.  Whilst it's best known as the UK's national meteorological service, the Met Office is also a world-leading climate science and research organisation. 

Since its foundation in 1990, the Met Office Hadley Centre has been and continues to be a world-leading centre for climate science and its applications to inform policy and decision-making both in the UK and internationally.
