None of those really answer the question. For example if there are not enough turbines to supply our needs, why are they not all running at every opportunity? Why are they standing still when the wind blows? Why aren't all new builds fitted with solar panels included? Full insulation, and grey water systems? Tidal power used. So many opportunities are still being missed. If climate change is to be taken seriously these things should be well underway by now. Instead they chose to pick on the little people to bear the brunt all the time. Edited July 11, 2022 by Anna B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it made building new houses less likely, without government funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Tomlinson Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Perhaps all the doubters will finally sit up and take notice now , From Australia to the Americas , Across Africa and Asia and now Europe the fires are spreading , climate change is now beyond doubt, we are now in a desperate situation unless temperatures drop within the next five or ten years .Get ready for the World population to start migrating North with our own Country being one on the fringe of this migration. although the situation may include our own population looking for cooler climes in years to come .

Don't bank on it! John Hayes MP, who was Minister, said yesterday that people taking precautions during heatwave are cowards and snowflakes! Tory MP says ‘cowards’ taking heatwave precautions - ‘snowflakes’ (thelondoneconomic.com) "This is not a brave new world but a cowardly new world where we live in a country where we are frightened of the heat. It is not surprising that in snowflake Britain, the snowflakes are melting." With views like that you'd be surprised to hear that he was a Minister at the Department for Climate Change! But you won't be surprised to hear that he's a Brexiteer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
