"Just stop oil"

I don't need you to explain climate change. Who do you think you are. :rolleyes:

Well you seem to be struggling with the concept of it and irony

I mean it's obvious isn't it ? People driving into flood water caused by climate changes, has quite a lot to do with climate change, do you not think ? That's without getting into the irony of people driving in floodwater thinking everything will be fine and people thinking climate change won't be an issu

A study using high-resolution climate models predicts that the influence of human-caused climate change will likely not be seen clearly in short-duration (hourly and shorter timescale) extreme rainfall trends in the UK until at least the 2040s for winter and 2080s for summer.

There's a difference between doing something about climate change, and just making stuff up.
 
represents the colour of Trump ?

If you saw Hamiltons interview he's added stop oil to his list of causes (he'd alienate his twitter following otherwise) - despite f1 tanks of synthetic petrol at $50K

The number of days where rainfall totals exceed 95% and 99% of the 1961-1990 average have increased in the last decade, as have rainfall events exceeding 50 mm. Both these trends point to an increase in frequency and intensity of rainfall across the UK. However, the variation in rainfall from year to year is still large, highlighting the importance of considering long-period natural variations.

They are basically saying, yes the rainfall has increased, but the data isn't large enough to definitively say it's man made

Because current trends in extreme rainfall are within past natural variation, it can be difficult to isolate effects on our longer-term rainfall due to human influence by looking only at the observational record.

Their own state of the climate says

The UK’s climate is continuing to change, recent decades have been warmer, wetter and sunnier than the 20th century.

And this isn't including 2022 data or this year - https://public.wmo.int/en/our-mandate/climate/wmo-statement-state-of-global-climate/Europe-2022 is more upto date

Overall, 2022 was another year of warming in Europe. Climate indicators showed the continued effect of human induced climate change on the atmosphere, land, sea and cryosphere.
The combination of exceptionally high temperatures in summer and severe drought had a significant impact on people and ecosystems, with more than 15000 excess deaths, drying rivers, record melting glaciers and devastating wildfires.

There's also a relation between long periods of dry hot weather, which dries up the ground, so when it does rain, even if it's less rain, it causes problems because the rain cannot soak into the ground and can only go where it is able to flow

It's all moot, you can choose to stick your head in the sand, the weather will do what it wants without your worrying about your feelings and it's pretty obvious we do have an impact on the climate

I think you might find the construction of large impermeable ares combined with inadequate drainage is probably the main cause of floods.

Maintenance of rivers/drainage in general has declined over recent years - one of my great grandparents used to own a load of land around Queen Camel and carry out regular dredging and so on to prevent flooding, since the land was sold maintenance has declined, some areas the use of the land has changed, and flooding become more frequent culminating in serious floods earlier this year - nothing to do with climate change.
 
Nothing like a first world person saying that all these climate change is hogwash whilst the currently exploited third world countries will be the hardest hit. Either way, first world wins on both ends.

Third world countries will be hardest hit by the green net zero agenda, infact hundreds of milions of them will starve to death, while hundreds of millions more will die due to particulates from coal/dung/wood burning pollution because they have no cleaner fuel source because it is too expensive.
