So once again weather conditions prove dangerous for the english.
The "oh soooo strong" winds that the new year brought (90+ mph winds that were as if it were "the end of the world" in england but just a normal winters day in scotland) managed to de-roof some homes and even knocked over a wall that killed someone and made headline news.
Now they have had lots of rainfall and a number of rivers have burst their banks and have flooded towns leaving thousands without electricity and fresh water.
To me, that says more about English builders and planners than it does about 'global warming'.
(a) Build your buildings and roofs to withstand the elements.
and
(b) don't build on flood plains
Two simple rules would have saved a lot of trouble!!

What the fuck are you talking about?
These floods have affected people's lives & ruined livelihoods, and all you can do is point out the obvious?!
Glad to see your so compassionate towards it all.
Get a fucking grip!

You're talking out of your arse - what has Scotland ever done for housebuilding/architecture? Christ, we got a Spaniard to building our bloody mess of a parliament!
You're also forgetting that most of England lies physically lower than most of Scotland does, so your comments are asinine and ridiculous.
I don't think that 24/365 drizzle constitutes dangerous weather.

Not just England, hell, half of southern Sweden is under water as well...
A huge problem yes, but fuck all to do with "global warming".

It's all the deep fat fryers running 24/7 in scotchland that's causing global warming.

Flood?
What flood?
I was under the impression that if it doesn't happen to London, it doesn't actually happen....

I knew it was a scotsman long before I got to the end of the post.
don't agree with you this time kon23, but in winter when I hear that "1 1/2 inches of snow" threatens to "bring the country to a standstill" on the morning news I properly belly laugh, pull on my snow shoes and walk to work :)

it's not about global warming, its about climate changing, which is more than a problem... here in Portugal we're not yet in summer. temperatures are on 20º -30º C, but were supposed to be above 30º...
temperatures rise and it's implications are yet about to come and stay. now the melted water from the poles is falling flooding our fields and cities.

Oooh, never been there. Lots of parks, no?
Sadly, Madrileños are the worst kind of Spaniard, but it being summer, I suppose many of them have already fucked off to the coast. Snobby cunts (all of them. clearly).
Enjoy.

A hotter climate is a wetter climate, that is a fact. Whether the last months conditions is due to warming none can tell. What I can tell is we are going to have to get used to it.
