Wow. No contradiction there then.

Flooding will be Britains biggest climate risk with almost five million people to be affected over the next 100 years, a report has revealed.

Heavier rainfall predicted in a warmer atmosphere will cause more floods, worsening damage and disruption to infrastructure and property, it said.

And then....

It projected that the number of days a year temperatures will rise above 26C will jump from 18 days to between 27 and 121 days in London by the 2080s, adding that the higher summer temperatures could see heat-related deaths rise to 6,000 by the 2050s.

Other risks include an increase in water shortages, with a potential deficit of between 773 and 2,570 million litres of water a day in the Thames river basin - up from a shortfall of 59 million litres a day currently.

Must be a slow News day. Does the editor read these before they go out, or do they rely on folk just reading the headlines

If I move uphill then it'll use more fuel to get the car up there!! That's if there's any fuel about by then!

Looks like it's time for us to check out those inflaitable Kayaks now mate.


What I like best about that report is the guy at the end that totally devalues the whole thing.
The video pretty much says "All of these things are possible and could happen...then again, they might not." HAHA, looks like the UK news systems have really helped us once again.

Ha - I used to live in the Fens in a little village that was actually below sea level.

A scare story. The climate change scam is becoming unravelled even those useless politicians are questioning it and nobody wants to sign up.

Jeez I would not dare go to sleep, my parents hammered the lessons of the winter of 1953 into me and the 200 dead in the south east when the sea flooded the area at night.

Thankfully we weren't near the coast. The only reason the land was there was due to all the drainage ditches. When my granddad was a boy they were still island (Isle of Ely etc).

Even now if it rains for a couple of days half of the fields vanish, and some of the roads.

I think most of us now accept that much of the climate change thing is just so much BS, it was nuclear winters when i was a kid, then a second ice age, then global warming, holes in the ozone layers etc.

But one thing I think (hope) we all agree upon that regardless of cause the weather is getting more f***ed up and extreme .

We had another family of preppers from Shropshire visiting us and the dad was lamenting about just how few rivers, canals, dykes, waterways etc there was up here, he actually thought that was a bad thing !!!!!!, If its only a 2 minute walk from your house to the water its only 2 minutes of storm surge for the water to get up to your house.
