https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/10/01/south-pole-coldest-winter-record/ Get wrapped up. Just last year the papers were full of a massive sea ice chunk breaking off and heading to the island of South Georgia an old whaling station where they thought it would ground and slowly melt and change the whole eco system in that area and raise sea levels. I have not heard it has happened, could the scientists have been wrong just twelve months ago? In the last few years we have been subjected to scientists saying the earth is warming up, the present favourite, a couple of years ago we are heading for a small ice age due to sun spots that determined our weather patterns the then flavour of the year. Take your pick one might just happen.
The wolds is an option. It’s a bit remote for the most part and gets some grim winters.plus the road network is pants. Louth is very nice. But the Lincs wolds essentially becomes a Long Island, surrounded by water if predictions are right . North Sea to the east. Trent and witham valley to the west and south both of which will suffer with sea rise. Humber to the north of course.

Looking at the global map, there aren't many places more vulnerable than the UK to sea level rise in Europe. The Netherlands of course but not that many. France will be largely untouched. Then again France will be baking hot in the summer.My sister lives in Tottenham. It's a shite hole if you ask me but it's bloody London. She has a neighbour who can remember when it flooded. It was probably the storm surge of 53.They better hope that Thames flood barrier is sufficient for the next time.
I can see all of you moving to Scawsby very soon.Then you'll all be under my jurisdiction.

I still find it difficult to understand why people seem to not care about the environment and planet, I really do. Maybe it's because I'm an outdoors person with a breathing condition affected by pollution. The one thing that staggers me is that with Covid we've had isolation, masks, lockdowns etc to save lives. It's estimated 4 times as many people die every year because of pollution than because of Covid. It seems ok to accept pollution deaths but not Covid - that cannot be right.Equally we shouldn't be removing quality of life because of climate change, pollution etc we should be investing properly in alternatives. That doesn't just include to oil or coal, but to plastics, transport, energy, farming - literally everything. As an outdoors person for example I need energy drinks (difficult to run marathons etc without them). Why can I only get them in single use plastic bottles? Why not reusable? Why have we no alternative to flying using aviation fuel as yet? It shouldn't be so hard to achieve. We often talk about the risk of automation/technology in employment, so why not train many more people in permanent jobs to solve these problems? If that means higher taxes so be it.

Apparently COP are struggling to come to an agreement on firm commitments to keep the goal of 1.5C alive.It's very difficult to understand how this can possibly be. I know 1.5C is an arbitrary figure really, 1.5C is by no means ideal it might well be too high but they must be aware of the consequences in letting it slip and surpassing it. 2C is, they think, the crucial point, where they expect feedback loops and a rapid acceleration toward 4C and basically the end of everything.Half a degree isn't much leeway.Humans struggle with slow moving things, but often things do move slowly and then fast and all at once. Look at the history of the economy for proof of this.
