If you see how stressed my veg garden is, it doesn't bode well for large scale food production.

My area is already discussing water shortage and hose pipe ban if this goes on. The water pressure is noticeably lower

Even in Scotland they're warning us of risks of water scarcity. The climate emergency isn't just sunnier summers, even here n Scotland it's going to include water problems, and of course at other times of year more frequent and more severe storms and flooding.

Humans are so stupid. And this government is particularly bad.

It was a cool 12 degrees last night so no heatwave yet. Day time temps are around 23/4. I find those very normal Summer temperatures but apparently, it is going to be 30 on Sunday, 35 Monday and 30 on Tuesday...
Going to suggest working from 7 - 10 am.

I have been having regular "lucid" dreams and they all involve us living in a tropical climate with most of the lower lying areas covered in 1-2 metres of water. Sun blasting, African style skies and temperatures...

If we do go tropical then also expect a whole load of diseases to follow like dengue (cases have been found in nice)

Rf - I would like to see all new build windows and doors to have an in-built insect filter which allows air but not bugs in as an example

You can DIY (1) or get them pretty cheap to add on retrospectively (2).
Either

1) use net curtains and can velcro the sides
2) use magnetic screens / mesh

About This Thread

Maintained by Merry Christmas and Happy NewG(rrr)
Hi
I've seen environment (whether emissions, power, climate change, access to countryside, whatever you think of as "environment") discussed in various threads: Politics (obviously), the Electric Car thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/electric-car-anyone-61481/ , run free's excellent "Competitive Running and Keeping The Environment Clean" fetcheveryone.com/forum/running-competitively-keeping-our-environment-clean-60907/ my own Greta Thunberg thread fetcheveryone.com/forum/greta-thunberg---jfk-for-the-climate-generation-61044/ etc. but I haven't seen a general one.

So here it is. For those interested in the science, the politics, the action for (and I'll state that for me, this is mostly pro-environment, anti-emissions, anti-pollution etc.) and the hope for the future of our planet.
