I wouldn't trust anyone that uses a plumber to replace a boiler. The main reason being that you'd actually need a heating engineer.
If they are qualified as both then, well, smashing. If not then you most definitely wouldn't need a plumber unless they had gas safe qualifications.3 -

I fear you may have fundamentally missed my point...
A picture of drier land this year versus last year is no more representative of climate change than the fact that ice lolly sales will be higher this year versus last year. It's called weather...
If you want to inform people about climate change, use pictures that are related to climate change. A disappearing glacier over a number of years. That's proof, and there is plenty of it...1 -

Then I think we are agreeing that showing a satellite image of 2021 versus 2022 is nonsense.Stig said:

It seems that someone is saying what I've said for a long time, only I believe that it is already too late.cantersaddick said:
This was the thinking a few years ago but us really not the science anymore.BrentfordAddick said:It's not the death of the planet. The planet will be fine. It may be the death of a lot of us, mostly in places a long way away.
The planet will be fine.

If nothing else the world is far too interconnected we rely on so many of these countries for our food. We will have serious civil unrest if not a full societal breakdown. People will be killing over water - in this country. Life as we know it will be over.
Even if it doesn't cause mass deaths in this country (the science says it will) does it suddenly became okay that the mass deaths happen in Africa and Asia? Is it okay if whole continents become uninhabitable?
The timescales on this are much shorter than people are assuming as well. Its the exponential growth of all of this. We are already 30-50 years ahead of where they thought we would be even 5-10 years ago. Thats only gonna get bigger.
It's almost too late to act.
The time for urgency was 20-30 years ago. I want us to still try and fight climate change (if only to save other species) but I lost hope for humanity some time ago.
I'm on holiday in Greece at the moment and just the amount of plastic on the beaches is staggering. The ignorance of people is unbelievable, and that's just in Europe. Asia is never going to do what is needed in time to save the planet.

To be fair, mate, it's probably a spectacular effort on your part to have completely ignored/missed (wilfully or otherwise and for reasons, if there are any, I'm not party to) the fact that it was a facecious comment based on nothing more than a correction of a well meaning post.BR7_addick said:

There was a huge crop fire near Lenham in Kent yesterday
Dreadful fires in United States, Yosemite National Park and Lake Mead showing as almost empty. We visited both in the early 80s and Lake Mead was a huge body of water, so very sad to see it so depleted. Yosemite National Park was stunning and again it's very sad to see if ablaze.
We have to do more to keep temperature rises to a minimum.1 -
