A return to the ice age, just matter of when..?

That is something that could happen as a result of Global Warming…

If enough of the Arctic melts into the oceans, it will reduce the temperature and salinity of the oceans and thus the currents of the ocean will slow (if not halt). This will slow, or move/divert (if not stop) the Gulf Stream which is one of two reasons we have a temperate climate in the British Isles when our latitude would suggest we’d have a much colder climate (we’re as far North as Alaska and Siberia).

If GW continues to head in the direction it’s going in, we will be living on a frigid archipelago.

Fucking pissing it down here.

Very Windy in East Lincs. A bit of the roof on platform 2 at Skegness station came down whilst I was there. Luckily it was small and no one was near it.

I was saying that yesterday on this thread.

we’ve had an inch of rain here so far today.

Same a few years ago - no fucks given when hull flooded, but as soon as the middle reaches of the Thames started rising it was a national crisis. I'm hoping Boris has another party or Putin gets on with his invasion now just to give the media something else to flap about.

Not just the Thames, to be fair. A couple of trees in Brighton went too.

Is Storm Franklin all over the news today?

Far worse than Eunice up here, but little mention of it.

Trees bending in windy Wythenshawe, it does seem as bad as Eunice but even we had an Amber warning with Eunice and this is only Yellow.

Yep and a heck of a lot more rain.

I live on top of a bloody great hill on the outskirts of Halifax, we get rain and lots of it, but not like this, it snowed yesterday morning and lay thick on the ground and now it's been raining non stop for 24 hours, roads are like rivers, drainage in the fields has packed up and some of the Yorkshire stone walls look close to collapse.

I’m on the other side of those t’hills and similar this side. Obviously not worth a storm naming though.

It’s just starting to calm down here a bit.

I’m sorry to hear that, genuinely.

It still doesn’t alter the fact it’s been horrendous weather up here today, but not being reported as it isn’t in the south.

Good luck to you, it's not eased off here, but I'm in better shape than the poor sods in the valleys, they seem to get no respite from flooding these days.

Same to you. Think we’d need 75m of rain for our valley to get enough rain to flood us.

Flooding is a constant worry in Calderdale...

I remember my years in Mirfield. Fortunately we were up t’hill there too, but the centre was often flooded, especially access to the station.

Thankfully it’s not continuously raining. Should be enough to reduce the flood risk.

Petty all these storms couldn’t piss off over to Africa/Australia where it’s needed.
Nearly everyday it’s raining here and some places on earth hardly get any rain.
The world’s a weird place - spread the love Mother Nature and send some of that fine rain to our brothers & sisters abroad who need it.
You can blame Spurs for this rant!
