Green Tourism and the C&MC

Met office data started in 1853, although the oldest continuous weather data from central England started around 1650s.

If we don't have real facts then how did you get the storm of 1703, or even claim it as such in your post? Can't have it both ways?.

I'm getting on now but I cannot remember yesterday's floods as being anywhere near usual winter weather.

What I can remember is very cold winters often with heavy snow when young and even in my home owning life (40 years) the leaves used to come down in September, the last lawn cut of the year was October at the very latest. I will have to cut the grass in the next week. 

Good gracious, there is a huge amount of data gathered over the last century or so and it’s all pointing to one very obvious conclusion! That just in my own lifetime, and I’m no spring chicken, is irrefutable too. 

I fully agree climate is changing, its the why. The world has warmed and cooled for ever., We are cleaner now than during the Industrial revolution. Fossil fuel usage is much cleaner., I cant see that me driving at 20 mph or wobbling on a bike will make any difference. A single volcanic eruption negates any savings.

But it’s all our collective efforts that add up! Just keep doing your little bit for the Green Agenda, Fish. 👍

See it’s not the natural bits we can control or have an effect over, it’s just our contributions! Some even argue that our actions have exacerbated the natural situation, how much is in question mind!

The problem is that we are still living with the pollution of the industrial revolution, and countries like China and India are now having their own industrial revolutions, with all the pollution that they bring.

Collectively, we have to change. Not for our sakes, but for the sakes of our children and grandchildren. 

Very true, we must! Thing is though, the USA is firmly placed between those two countries you mention when looking at the global production of green house gasses. It also appears that China are now one of the most active countries in their attempting to rectify their contributions. They have a lot to do, we live in hope! 

So much hot air here its no wonder the earth is warming.

Hot air indeed! Going daft now but who introduced volcanism into the discussion. However, as it’s been mentioned, one mega eruption, or a meteor strike could end our global civilisation in a blink.

Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t care for our planet and look after what we currently have in the meantime. Hopefully ‘we’ will get a few more millennia out of it along with the rest of nature out there who equally own this planet of ours.

It must be that Welsh Dragon....

Interesting to see the latest report of the efforts in London to reduce pollution.

I find that that sort of attitude is the biggest individual problem we have. The "I'm only 1 person so it makes no difference". I can't believe that someone like yourself Fish, a person who has promoted himself as a true guardian of his natural environment, doesn't care about the environment. 

Why not, if that is the attitude to take, do we not all go back to filling landfills with tons of plastic etc and dump sewage into rivers and seas?

I do it, the 20 mph and wobbling on a bike thing, because I can and if I didn't then my conscience would tell me I'm making things worse. I may not be making it any better but if loads more join and vote for people with similar attitudes then just maybe things might get better. At least my conscience will be clear.

ps like the new avatar Fish.
