You've had/have the best of both worlds. I was born and raised in an old mill town in the NW and married into a farming family down south which means I can see things from more than one point of view too.
The weakening of the Gulf stream might lead to cooler winters, but global warming will lead to warmer winters. It looks like there might be warmer, dryer summers, but islands in the middle of the north Atlantic will not become arid
just stop bloody breeding
I had about 15 years living and working in the roughest areas of cities. There were two sorts of local people there. The ones who cared and the ones who didn’t. Governments obviously make a difference but so do communities. To say we are all just disempowered stooges and pawns of global institutions is wrong and dishonest. We all have certain amount of freedom to shape our own future and that of the planet. It’s not all the governments fault, Tescos fault or even the Red Tractor or the NFU’s fault. Yet this forum has become a troll infested shsrk pool that rips to pieces every innovation, every institution because of some kind of mass paranoia that seems to be setting in. Get out from behind the keyboard and go into the real world where you’ll find moderation and reason not bizarre extremist crackpot views shooting down all optimism for change for the good. And yes I’ve been sucked down that route many a time. But no more, I’m out.
The uk was pretty arid this summer as was much of europe, as I understand it it's the north atlantic conveyor that gives us the mild winters, it's that that brings the warm water towards us that the gulf stream picks up, the cold artic weather that causes the huge high pressure blocking systems that give eastern europe and russia cold weather only need to move a few hundred miles east to give us that cold. I have seen predictions for cold and warm winters here, time will tell and may well get both over time
Well the demographics of most of the Western countries, China, Japan will see populations plummet in the next 30 years. China's one child policy has worked only too well....
We call it weather...
You presume alot for a mobile clotSo you advocate for uncontrolled, libertarianism with unlimited population expansion?No species can sustain exponential population growth indefinitely whilst contained to a finite enclosure with finite resources.... Population limits can either be imposed by controlled wars, controlled pandemics or I hope rather more subtle, less destructive policies... failing that eventually population control will be imposed naturally by uncontrolled wars, uncontrolled pandemics and uncontrolled people..... As a Westerner my offspring are far more likely to have a rosy future in a world that is at least partially managed than one in which all things are left to nature. There is a sweet spot to be found between uncontrolled libertarianism in which everyone does exactly what they please and totalitanism in which such freedom is held only by a select few.
Fair enough. You're a good writer though and trolls are useful for sharpening arguments. Why do you spose I post walls of rambling text? To see if someone can knock 'em down or if an idea a two has merit and stays standing.I had about 15 years living and working in the roughest areas of cities.

I find your posts moderate and reasonable. Keep up the good work. I’ll still enjoy reading but I’ve wasted far too much time and energy on this forum and it has at times brought out a very bad side to me. It’s incredibly addictive. 21,000 posts. I need to get a life! Thanks and good luck to all.
Weather is only when something happens that goes against the climate narrative, if it supports the narrative its proof of global warming, you need to practice learning the mantra harderWe call it weather...
I simply surmised that when you are so clearly anti something you must surely be in favour of its inverse......
Simply is right, sorry about the rest of your assumptionsI simply surmised that when you are so clearly anti something you must surely be in favour of its inverse......

We all know its nonsense, but by 2030 this commitment will have been forgotten about by all but a few climate crisis zealots, by 2050 everyone will have forgotten about it, nothing to see here move on, the only worry is if enough idiots vote green at the next election to give them a balance of power and end up in the situation Germany is in with energyAn excellent article on this nonsense
How Much is Net Zero Really Going to Cost? The Government Has No Idea – The Daily Sceptic
Net Zero involves Britain embarking on a unique experiment, in which it rejects whole areas of technology which make society function, and tries to replace them with novel technologies which do not currently exist.
