IPCC projections of mega-drought

And over here in the west country, there is almost constant flooding.

And I imagine it is this that has led to an outspoken speech by the Prince of Wales, who used language like "there barrage f sheer intimidation" from "powerful interest groups" who were "turning accepted science on its head" etc"

It is baffling that in our modern world we have such blind trust in science and technology that we all accept what science tells us about everything until, that is, it comes to climate science. All of a sudden, and with a barrage of sheer intimidation, we are told by powerful groups of deniers that the scientists are wrong and we must abandon all our faith in so much overwhelming scientific evidence.

Whatever anyone thinks of him, he at least is hitting out at the right targets.

Yes. Don't like the monarchy at all and he is a liar and cad when it comes to women but I do admire his use of his position when it comes to environmental matters. Though do wonder what his actual carbon foot print is....and what he has his money invested in. Does he really put his money where his mouth is? Don't really know enough on that matter. Nevertheless, those wanting business as usual are in business from the status quo and doing quite nicely and see it as an economic threat. Personally, regardless of the 'truth' of the science on ACC there are a thousand reasons to move to a zero emmissions culture for everyone. I can only see it as a win win for the planet and life in general. Definitely past it use by date.

I saw the remarkable damage from the sea swells in Spain today and wonder if that will head UK way over the Bay of Bisquay and Celtic Sea?
