Hi ALL, FLOODING COULD BE A RECURRING NIGHTMARE as reported in a News paper dated the 30-9-2008.
BRITAIN faces a growing number of DEVASTATING spring FLOODS followed by DROUGHTS climate experts warned.
EUROPE is WARMING FASTER than the world average, and this will RESULT in a WETTER NORTH and a DESERT-LIKE MEDITERRANEAN REGION, they said.
BRITAIN will SUFFER because our 'return period' - meteorological jargon for the time between EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS - is .getting shorter.
FLOODS THAT OCCURRED ONCE EVERY 100 YEARS COULD HAPPEN EVERY DECADE.
EXPERTS FROM all over EUROPE were brought together to STUDY computer models of the way WORLD CLIMATE is likely to go BASED ON RECENT EVENTS.
THE TEAMS - from the EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY, the WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION and the EUROPEAN COMMISSION - concluded that although Britain will get more rain, it will come mostly in spring deluges. Unless we find ways of channelling and saving this water, it will be lost, to be followed by summer droughts, said a flood expert. He added 'FLOODS IN BRITAIN MAY INCREASE BY 40 PERCENT, OR EVEN MORE.'
The EXPERTS also WARNED that in EUROPE, FOUR MILLION PEOPLE and £2BILLION of ASSETS could be AT RISK OF FLOODING BY 2100,
WHY. BECAUSE TWO-THIRDS OF ALPINE GLACIERS HAVE VANISHED SINCE 1850, they said.
(me) Like I've suggested before. ( IF ) we change the way we build all our buildings to every one having a garage or car parking underneath, this will give us straight away at least 10ft or more before it ment maybe moving everything higher if they were built on a floodplain or not, I can't see any problems with raising the roofs like we do loft extensions on most homes built now to use roof space, for example what the Government could do is make all houses have roofs fitted with sola roof tiles like some houses are fitted with in America. These could supply electricity and along with sola panel could supply hot water too, plus you can add wind power, and wave power to this on a large scale, resulting in BRITAIN being SELF-SUFFICIENT.
I believe this would reduce this countries energy bill, helping to pay for it ( ALL ) over a period of time, of course with so much energy being produced we could then run our vehicles, our trains our trams and anything else which we need
EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE, BUT as usual MAKING MONEY TAKES TOP PRIORITY.
ALL I'M SAYING IS, THESE COULD BE PRODUCED AND DONE ON SHUCH A LARGE SCALE over a short period of time FOR EXAMPLE, BY SO MANY PEOPLE WHO WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A JOB NOW, WHICH COULD HELP TO CHANGE THE WHOLE WAY WE LIVE OUR LIVES NOW AND IN THE FUTURE, DONE IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS, which other countries might not have thouht of doing because they are so poor or so rich to do anything about it, but we could JUST LIKE NUTURE, IT WILL HAVE TO COPE WITH OUR CLIMATE CHANGE TO in many different ways in order to suvive in EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS, that we have no control over.
May you and yours and what you grow live long and happy. John.J.R.P.
