BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | UK's 'sobering' climate forecast
I never fail to be disappointed by the environmentalists' lobbying for public attention.
In a horror revelation, Britain could be subject to 'tropical' climes if we don't recycle more.
Is that supposed to be a deterrent from fossil fuels? Half the country escapes to the tropics whenever they have a chance, because it is too frigging cold, why would they want to be encouraged to prevent this country getting warmer.
And, genuinely worrying, we will be subject to sever flooding, but not until the year 3000 apparently.
If this was the case, why would anyone care (apart from the fact it would be fulfilling the prophetical lyrics of a Busted song).
Why did the lobbyists not highlight the fact that flooding in Britain has become frighteningly frequent in recent years , and increasingly dangerous (think of Boswall in Cornwall in 2004).
Or the fact that 2005 was an extremely busy year for hurricanes and tornadoes in the United States, Katrina and Rita being two clear examples.
This recent attempt at fear-mongoring is so remote that it will not mean anything to anyone, and thus have no affect.

It's survival of the fittest. If the future generations cannot adapt to the fact that they live under water, well I guess it was never meant to be... I think we have already reached our plateau anyway. we are going the way of the Dinosaurs... it's about time the Kangaroos were the dominant species on the planet.
