And if anyone wants a sobering read, check out what Holocene Extinction is. It’s been happening for some time, thousands of years in fact. But the extinction rate is accelerating exponentially. In The Future of Life (2002), Edward Osborne Wilson of Harvard calculated that, if the current rate of human disruption of the biosphere continues, one-half of Earth's higher lifeforms will be extinct by 2100.

It's a disturbing trend and clear evidence of climate change.
Another deluge and flooding in London.I don't think places like Doncaster can afford to ignore what's going on, it suggests there is going to be extreme rainfall again in South Yorkshire before long.
It looks like the great planetary reset is accelerating alarmingly and no matter how much money you throw at it, it doesn’t care….the balance has teetered to irreversible on this current trajectory, in a 100 years time this shit pot planet will roast and floods in equal measure, I blame that Greta lass,………bloody do gooder!
It will be game over for mankind in fifty years maximum. Reason one is overpopulation. Every other problem is a symptom of this. Nature will take back the cities and in a few years the birds will sing and wildlife will walk the overgrown streets.

For people, birds and a lot of other wildlife.
this flood map looks scaryhttps://www.getthedata.com/flood-map/doncaster
We are simultaneously witnessing weather disaster in Germany, the highest temperatures for June in Finland and the US, the catastrophic heatwave in British Columbia, and extreme heat in Siberia.These are all outlier events that exceed what one would expect if it were 'only' a 1.2C warming impact (that's the amount the Earth has already warmed since pre-industrial times).Greenhouse gas levels are already too high for a manageable future for humanity.Quite frankly, coronovirus will be a drop in the ocean compared to what is coming.
Plenty of that fine rain about this morning RD.
