What with all this hot and dry weather and that year on year increase in 'zonal' temperatures across the planet who can predict the effects on our flauna and flora? Which species will be the winners and losers on our currently not so green and pleasant land?
Posted on 30/07/2018 11:48 by KennineMicky, The planet Earth has moved from heat to cold many times over the billions of years it has existed. The summer weather we have this year is just part of the Earth's natural cycle. The Global Warming "Enthusiasts" conveniently forget that areas of the Earth cool down during their winter as well, -- as witnessed during last winter and every winter before that. That again is perfectly natural. Weather is weather, the problem is, that the lifestyle of many people in the civilised world is not geared to seasonal changes and they find coping with "Weather" difficult. Other parts of the world adapt to "Weather" naturally.
There is nothing humans can do to change the Earth's natural cycle, .

The 'human' contribution to both localised/zonal interference and global climatic change are both well documented and scientifically proven. Such issues should surely be discussed and addressed. Just look at the clean air acts following decades of human pollution and the effects that had on industrial communities of the past. We now urgently need governments around the world to take similar action, not just at that local level but also at a global level to address greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, we, at the pinnacle of the earth's faunal and without doubt the most influencial 'creatures' which are altering our habitats and environs should increase our ambition to build a sustainable, climate-resilient future for our grandchildren and our grandchildren's grandchildren and nature in general. Some will of course take up that it won't effect me and so I can't be arsed attitude. How wrong they just might be. Yes, there are natural climatic rhythms but human activity can possible accentuate these rhythms beyond the reparable. Surely worth considering.
