Is the flooding related to global warming?

[superstarheartbreaker]

thoughts please?

Hi, thanks for the link. I suggest you start a fresh thread with the link in it.

I've completed the survey. I for one cannot give up my car, nor can I afford higher taxes on fuel. However, I do would have a small electric car, just not at Telsa prices!

China is hoping to reduce the consumption of meat by half by 2050, and is ploughing ahead with renewables. It's had to do this because of climate change.

Yes it is.

Yes there's always been extreme weather. And you can't tie an indicvidual weather event to global warming.

But It's the pattern of weather events that's changing. the change as a whole is linked to global warming.

There is no scientific divide or debate on global warming. Just like every single medical and scientific body of repute supports vaccination. What you read on the fringes of the interweb isn't science.

On a local level, we have flooding in some roads near here as in the last two years nearly every front garden has been turned into a driveway, so the water just runs off into drains that were put there when the gardens soaked up most of the rain. And then there's talk of fatburgs and other drainage probs

As a geologist & studied climate change not so long ago, yes but there are also other factors.

London & the south east is tectonically subsiding & therefore going underwater, but quite slowly.

The ice melting is rising sea levels but so is the pollutants in the atmosphere effecting weather patterns etc.

Also coastlines erode & rivers change courses & flood, Britain has built on flood plains which do flood, not every year, not every decade but do flood.
