Act now on water or face emergency queues on the streets, UK warned​

Hosepipe ban and compulsory water metering needed, say advisers, as nation braces for drought

or as the government no doubt read that:

Act now on water or​

I think there are some feasibility studies going on to get water from everyone else to London and the SE, which I believe will be funded by charging everyone for the pleasure. As I'm sure we'll all pay to save London from flooding whilst leaving everywhere else vulnerable/abandoned.

hi mate, how you doin` today.

Out of interest, which part do you not believe?

Burning fossil fuels creates CO2
CO2 levels are increasing
CO2 absorbs heat
An atmosphere that absorbs heat is warmer
A warmer atmosphere causes a change in climate

you forgot
do you think paying more tax will help global warming

how did you come up with that list and are they seen as the main causes of `global warming`? my problem is with the solutions presented to Joe Public, `carbon trading` `green taxes` etc

So you agree that it's a big issue, but that we're not doing any where near enough to stop?

Incidentally, what would you do?

I came up with it from the basic physics and chemistry involves. And yes, they are seen as the main causes. I was just wondering if there was some other science you thought would interrupt that chain.

But it seems you don't actually disagree that climate change is happening, just the proposed solutions? Would you have a cheaper solution to resolve it?

I didn't forget it, I was asking about the science, so the politics of the possible solution wasn't really relevant

Tbf what he states he objects to won't resolve it.

Leaving the remaining carbon in the ground transcends being resolved in relative financial terms. It requires complete systemic change from what's been developed over the last century.

i wouldn`t call a tax to combat the climate `problem` political

where did i agree that it was a big issue? i would certainly agree its receiving more than its fair share of media hype

Probably one of the greatest threats to human existence gets media hype? lol

We must focus on the big threats like gender neutral toilets and the military becoming woke

So it's over-hyped and therefore doesn't warrant a penny?
