Climate Change (Global Warming) πŸ₯ΆπŸŒπŸŒž

Bunch of Guinnesss, I heard some buffoon on the radio alluding to such a claim and reeled off in my head lots of worse storms we've had over the past 15 years, so not getting worse, just business as usual :ROFLMAO:

Makes them scarier and more memorable, we only remember the storm of 87 (I think) because seven oaks became one oaks - otherwise it was a bit windy that evening. If it had been called Hercules and we were told to not travel it would have been even more memorable.

In fact my mother flew from London to Aberdeen that evening and the flight was diverted to Edinburgh, she was then put on a bus to Aberdeen which when it reached the Forth Road Bridge the Police advised the driver not to cross unless he wanted to, which he did, the bus made it. Now, when there's a 'storm' forecast all trains are cancelled and we are told to stay at home under the kitchen table. Google says the storm of 87 had wind speeds of up to 115 mph, now a storm is barely over a force 8 gale (40 odd mph).

When I lived in Shetland we had a storm one New Year - 91/92 where shit got really serious; caravans blown off sites into the sea, RAF Saxa Vord recorded 197 mph winds - that was a storm :ROFLMAO:

There was an article on the bbc about the indoor farming, obviously plant life.

It gives a great picture and how they can help emissions by not importing out of season in the U.K. foodstuffs. and with no seasonal dangers such as drought or flooding, can produce all we need whilst reducing emissions.

It's only halfway down, that they point out that many of these "farms" use so much electricity that quite a few have gone bust due to the electric costs. Obviously the high electricity use kinda wipes out any climate benefit of such farms

 
Something I saw about climate change and water.

Not the fact they go on about polluted rivers (because non of them are in the developed countries being asked to cough up billions Just 10 rivers carry 90% of plastic polluting the oceans ) but more about microplastics in our water.

I don't throw plastics in river, shit lego bricks or piss nylon so could it be, the rise in microplastics in our water has nothing to do with climate change at all.

When we first started sewers and waterways, we used wooden pipes and funnels, that went onwards to lead pipes, steel pipes, copper pipes, concrete pipes and clay pipes. However if you look at households and housing developments, they now mostly use plastic gutters, plastic drainpipes, water supply in, then a whole myriad of plastic water fittings before leaving the houses and going into the sewers through plastic pipes.

Therefore, could it be claimed that microplastics in first world countries, comes from plastic fittings rather than anything to do with climate change.:unsure:

And wait and see who ends up paying for decommisioning at the end of their lifecycle - it'll be tax payers, not the companies reaping the profits.

As with anything to do with teh climate, it's a scam; grants to set them up; profits go to the companies; grants for decommisioning.

But isn't that what "privatisation" is *all about*?
