I don’t think we need science to see it pal we can see it and feel it it’s happening and it needs addressing. It’s just how and can we do enough to stop it and start to reverse it. I’m not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves coming out on hawthorns behind my house. Saw similar a few years back up harwood, but it was a single bush, and a couple of leaves- an anomaly. This seems slightly more wide spread.

It is, no doubt, prem 5’s last night or power league whatever it’s called, the temp indicator said 14 deg at 7pm , kids at football taking hoodies, snoods and underwarmers off. However, that’s weather , I’m sure it was said that climate change would make our part of the world colder , due to oceans warming shifting the route of the Gulf Stream , so would expect to see more severe frosts and cold weather in the years to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also reckon we're in for wetter, windier, more stormy weather as a result of more energy in the atmosphere. This does seem to be happening. Maybe the changes to the north Atlantic conveyor may be slower. We urgently need some cold temperatures though to slow down budding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, to be honest I think the wet and windier is a prelude to more severe temp drop in the same theory, shifting of the stream bringing it, which will eventually move south and bring that to France Spain etc, while we above the line get the colder temps. who knows, but it is certainly changing and previous predictions of frequent severe weather events coming true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One in raising awareness and putting climate change front and centre - and the other one for looking for a technical solution to environmental damage (albeit not to climate change). Could do with a couple of million of each. Maybe then we'd get somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for her to have all the publicity and someone who has actually done something tangible to create positive change to go relatively unnoticed. she will become a multi millionaire.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 3, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted February 3, 2020 There's certainly a strong cause for the media getting right behind these positive stories like this chap. Too easy to push the doom and gloom. People need to see practical examples that can make a real difference and get behind. Similarly, government overtly supporting such endeavours. No reason they can't become central to the economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
