An early and cold start…memories of the summer are fast fading  and we have to brace for the winter to come.   Only this isn’t the whole story here – this is the second large flooding episode in the past two months and in all the years I have lived here (more than I care to admit to) I cannot recall anything like this before.   Things are changing and we appear to be getting a lot more rain.

There are still people out there who do not believe that Global Warming is real or at least it isn’t part of the natural cycle.  This is just wrong and the science is just too strong to dismiss – it won’t stop people from doing just that though.

I am not a great Greta Thurnberg fan but she is right about one thing – her generation will be the one that will feel the full force of the changes that have been brought about by Global Warming and it is our generation’s responsibility to do as much as we can to ameliorate those changes.  The planet’s climate is going to change as a result of man’s activities and we are all going to have to get used to that.

Compared to this Brexit does seem to be a pointless exercise.
