It’s too f***ing hot

Looks like climate change has disappeared as suddenly as it arrived 🤔

I don't understand the mindset at all. It's been roasting in May, but it's cloudy today so Climate Change must all be a load of nonsense. 😐

Oh dear Large addick don't go against the scary graphs and BBC man reading from the teleprompter and think for yourself how dare you and also the well educated scientists who also say cow farts are contributing to it as well. By the way do pig and sheep farts not count as they might feel left out? Can we get some graphs please for sheep and pig farts? 😆

This week has been a typical week in the life of a south east water customer, either we have had no water, or very low pressure. 

We are already being told that, when we have water, we should only use it for essential purposes. 

This follows on from a hose pipe ban last summer that went deep into the winter, and all signs are that another ban is just around the corner.

For this ‘service’ we pay almost £70 a month.

Before long I expect to see a tv ad with Ewan McGregor asking for donations to provide water supplies for West Kent.

part of the hopeless south east water wankers as well. I live now in a rural place. I cant get on their priority list. Last year several times I was without water for weeks on end. They expected me at the time to be able to get to their water bottle station in west kingsdown... i don't have transport so couldn't get to it from my place near borough green. now i know in africa they have to walk miles to get some water and that is a disgrace but i actually pay, my latest bill of £156 over the last 3 months is out standing because i refuse to pay for a service that is not provided. that and i dont have 156 quid spare. 

We have a perfect storm of a privatised monopoly that has prioritised profit, shareholder dividends and high executive salaries and bonuses. The South East being the most water stressed and driest part of the country. Climate change that is bringing wetter winters and drier springs and summers. Too many new houses without the infrastructure to cope with the extra demand. All new houses should be built with rainwater harvesting, water recycling so that grey water can be used for flushing toilets. Solar panels should be mandatory on all new houses. New houses need to be fit to cope with the problems that climate change causes.

All new homes to have solar panels from 2028: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czjw7klkjm2o

Had an amazing meal on holiday at Pellegrini in Sibernik, Croatia. they must have heard about the climate crisis and decided to act decisively as the portion of lamb they brought out as the 'main course' was less than 1cm x 3 cm. 

Never understood how King Charles and his fellow alien lizard illuminati master race got away with all the fake news on Covid and forcibly injecting us all with advanced AI nano-bots.

Read an interesting article yesterday about the how Australia is enthusiastically embracing solar and like the Norwegians just as enthusiastically exporting their fossil fuels elsewhere.

Well if anyone has the weather for it and the sheer volume of land for solar panels, it's the Aussies.
Uk not so much.

40% (and growing) of properties have rooftop solar panels. 

Doesn't mean we get enough sun year round though.

Works fine with mine . Got a battery as well so our bills are very manageable.

When I was at uni (30+ years ago) my dissertation involved painting a silicon substrate with one heavy metal (no not that kind) paint on one side, a different paint on the other and baking it. It became a fuel cell. Always wondered how long it would take to get an electricity producing paint to market. Hopefully within next 10 years.

Perovskite solar paint seems to be a front runner but who knows what the breakthrough will be 

Was a decent chunk of your dissertation literally watching paint dry (scientifically)?

I love it when people who fall for false information propaganda call people who don't, sheep.

I love it when people who fall for false in formation propaganda call people who don't, tinfoil hat wearers; climate deniers; flat earthers; far-right;; Trump/Farage supporters, etc, etc, etc

That damn false information, improving our air and water quality. God bless those that can see past that BS.

This is a great point. For those that choose to ignore the overwhelming body of evidence on climate change there are still massive benefits of "green" improvements. Cleaner air, healthier lives, cleaner water both for drinking and swimming, more green spaces, more energy independence, less reliance on price gouging multinational corporations. There is no downside. 

I saw this really cool graphic recently. About how Queensland Aus have invested heavily in batteries both at a household level and as a state government investing in large scale energy  storage. This isn't about energy generation, it's the evening peak in energy usage that previously had to be met with gas due to solar not generating in the evenings but now due to investment in storage it can largely be met by energy storage despite no solar generation at that time. Amazing and shows what's possible.

Edit, realised this is probably on the wrong thread but I'll leave it there for now as can't find the right one.

Michael Mann’s hockey stick. Data created to sustain a narrative in simple terms yet those who choose to question are told to “follow the science .” The University of East Anglia was also discredited for producing dodgy climate change information some years back in order to sustain the narrative.
