Some towns are now banning people from paving their front gardens to use as parking space because of the danger of flooding from runoff.
Perhaps it's time we considered what the Good Book tells us. Lets be honest. We have ruined the earth. We have drained it's resources and replace the volume, capacity with dumping rubbish. Many deny the fact that the climate is warming. Ask yourself. Why are the ice caps melting. Why are the water levels rising. Be honest. Planet earth is self sufficient. It is like one of those glass snow storm thingies. We truly are, reaping what we have sown.
There can be no doubt that we have not treated the earth well, create too much waste and do not handle the waste that we do produce properly. However, as for the ice caps melting - sorry Mike, but that is simply the climate changing as it has done for millions of years. Many of the land features of this country were formed as glaciers tore there way across the surface of what is now land - those glaciers didn't melt because of people driving Range Rovers. Even the inference that we are accelerating that climate change is nothing but utter tripe - anyone who has ever defrosted a freezer knows that the melting of the ice appears to be very slow for the first three quarters of the total time taken; once the ice is melting, and thinning, then it goes all the faster. Finally, I read an article the other day (wish I could find it now, and I will try) that stated that Polar Bear numbers have increased approximately 30% in the past ten years, and that this year the amount of polar ice is at it's highest amount since 2010.
Not at all - I am also not gullible enough to believe that a gas that is at a concentration of 0.04% in our atmosphere is somehow causing warming.
It is not the 0.04% that's important it's how it's changed over time. 0.04% is not a lot but it is a lot more than 0.03%. Another thing to bear in mind is that CO2 is not the only "greenhouse gas" methane, nitrogen oxides and various fluoro carbon gases all add their tenpeneth.
I can fully accept that there has been an increase, and that these other gases also be undesirable for a number of reasons - I don't, however, believe that the current headlong rush into all that is electric is the way to go. There are many, many things we could and should be doing, starting with our handling of waste.
Greta was in Bristol today and collage green (which is grass lawn) where they all met for the talk is now not green but a brown muddy mess, and I do hope that the tax payer isn't going the foot the bill to repair it Before After
I live just outside of Bristle, friends tell me, for an enviromental protest, there sure was a lot of traffic and traffic pollution from the amount congestion caused by the road closures, this protest caused. I am all for saving the planet, but what did this acheive, apart from a 10 min slot on tonights news.
Greta came by train then driven to collage green in elec car but had police escort, some childen were driven there, not very enviromental
