A challenge. Populations living on or beside historic flood plain lands need to be dealt with by political leadership and engineering solutions. Imagine if all that powerful water, could be dammed to provide cheap hydro electricity! But that takes political leadership and will, that is none existent in most of the World. Their politicians are just happy to take Western humanitarian aid every year, with no strings attached. Again, i'll ask, is a third of Pakistan on a flood plain? Does a third of Pakistan normally flood when theres the big floods? Did a third of Pakistan flood in 2010? Those are the questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope so! But that has nothing to do with Pakistan's problem. Which is they choose to spend their money on their Arsenal of Nuclear weapons, rather than flood control. They are just happy blaming "climate change" and knowing that there are more than enough sympathizers in the "prosperous" West, who will help them out with their recurring flood damages. It's almost a conflict of interest. The more flood death and destruction, the more Western aid! The more money in the pockets of the local politicians.

El Cid Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 I do some gardening work. With this hot and dry weather it's very noticeable that grass/trees are struggling. Just hope that the colder countries will benefit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any point in replacing dead plants constantly if this is the weather we have to get used to from now on.... What advice have you got regarding plants that thrive in this weather... I know this is not the right thread to ask but would be good to know from someone who does gardening for a living... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climate change predicts more severe weather and more rain, so no one knows if we will have these dry heatwaves or not. India/Pakistan are having more severe flooding, Australia and other countries more hot dry weather. The only certainty is that the UK climate is changing.

I’m more and more inclined towards planting drought resistant plants these days. Most plants of Mediterranean origin cope well with dry weather, although some aren’t too keen on the cold.
