London Wanderer Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 1 hour ago, Zico said: All the talk is about reducing emissions but are there actually plans in place for a hotter climate locally and globally? To be fair that's what every climate report comes back to in its solutions. Cut emissions and speed it up now. It shouldn't really be a political debate anymore. Politicians should be facing prison time for dismissing net zero policies. Drastic I know, but that's the nature of being in an emergency, as we saw with Covid. But aye, we've got to now accept that we're very likely heading for at least 2 degrees, even if the world suddenly gets its act together. So that means preparing for more extreme weather and mass movement/relocation of people. It's already happening I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that would mean you'd have to increase your prices for cleaning the glass. How much for a space pods windows, inside and out, once a week? £8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also own a diesel van. You’ve let Bolty fool you that I live off bean burgers and live in an off grid cabin in the woods.

London Wanderer Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 No way I’m booking Europe again between June & August. I know it’s not always brutally hot, but it’s still not worth the risk. Just can’t function at all when it starts pushing over 35 degrees & I quite like exploring the local area when on holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel sorry for people holidaying in the UK during 6 week school hols. Always stay here. Never had serious weather issues, apart from occasionally a bit too hot. Depends what you want. Can't be arsed lounging by a pool all day, and sometimes a cooler wetter day can make for decent walking with fewer folk about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went camping last week near Harrogate, the forecast was appalling but only had one full day of rain, the rest was a couple of nights only so it worked out well. Always a risk camping in blighty.
