You're Getting Warmer

The UK's Meteorological Offive has been keeping weather records since 1836. February 2024 was the warmest on record in England and Wales. That month was also the wettest ever in Southern England (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/mar/01/february-was-warmest-on-record-in-england-and-wales-met-office-says). Still some folk discount the whole concept of anthropogenic (human-mediated) climate change. The real concern for the UK should be adapting its antediluvian infrastructure to deal with the changing conditions. We could, for example, collect rainwater and use it to flush toilets, irrigate gardens etc. That would reduce both water shortages and flooding risk. It's also distinctly odd that sections of the Wales' farming community, slogan 'No Farmers: No Food', can't seem to recognise that climate change would make it more difficult to produce crops (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/feb/28/wales-farming-environment-sunak-protest). They seem to expect their profits to flow, without doing 'their necessary bit' for the environment.
