  1. Not the old "...could be underwater in the next 30 years" line again? Could be, why? Due to what precisely? It's always the same with these people, it's become their religious guiding light: they issue their periodic dread forecasts that somehow get forgotten so that new dread warnings can be put in their place when the old ones don't show up. Meanwhile, anyone can go to the place on the coast that they visited fifty years ago, to find that everything is just as it was. Rivers flood, as they always have, onto predictable places, flat, low plains - that's why they were named in history: "flood plains". This can be exacerbated if waterways are no longer dredged due to either regulations or budget cuts; both of which have been a factor in recent flooding episodes. The 'climate change' movement is a political move to hamper certain countries while others are left to do as they see fit. Why, for instance, if carbon emissions were the catastrophic factor they are made out to be, is the UK so harried to restrict output when it produces less than 1% of the global output; at the same time as China produces a new coal-fired power station every week? India shows a similar disregard for the concerns that have the UK's industries in tethers. Would it not make sense to focus on the most egregious offenders? Our entire economy is being torn down, made ineffective, on no more evidence than the aggregated "could be" ism of so many who are not looking at the hard evidence.
