Storm

If anyone in the UK had doubts about global warming the weather over the last few months may have changed their viewpoint. Fifty years ago flooding was a rare event that only happened every twenty years but now they happen every few weeks.

But, there could be some truth in the group of people who say this is a natural evaluation that has happened many times before.

Whatever the reason there is little doubt that the way we live our lives is very destructive. Most families have two or three cars but most times only use one The rest stay on driveways made from material that prevents the rain from draining away. Cars are double the size they used to be and very often only a single person uses them. Why? Is it a status thing.? And larger cars take more energy and material to make. We build houses on flood plains without any awareness of what might happen or preventive measures.

How many clothes do we have in our wardrobes that are never used, we buy things just in case and once again they take energy to produce. Once again time will tell who is right.
