20,000 years ago GB was covered by an ice sheet so thick and heavy it has been proved that the land in the South of England rose as a result of the weight of the ice disappearing as it melted.
Climate change is nothing new. Luckily we were not around then or we would have been blamed for that too. 'You need to burn more carbon fuels to keep your homes warm. Too many people are dying of cold.' Bbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrr. |
I recently watched a program on TV which included a couple who are growing white grapes in Yorkshire, Whitby I think it was. On a hill right beside the sea. |
Indeed there are.....
Presumably what you don`t want is to unwittingly change the temperature because of what we are doing? IE such that it wipes out other species and makes vast areas unliveable in? Then you get mass migration due to the above- which `some` don't seem to like at the best of times...As we've seen very recently. |
I couldn't possibly comment. |
Not that I’ve tasted it 🤮🤮🤮🤮 |
During the medieval period England was a leader in wine making. During the 14th century many vineyards ceased to exist. The reason? A drop of between 1-2 degrees in temperature. How totally and utterly bizarre that there are changes in global temperatures. |
The Ensete won't survive outside in our winter at all, but the basjoo will if protected. |
The Romans grew grapes here for wine making! |
Skinny
Amazed they survived at all but winters are definitely getting warmer |
I think it depends on how warm the weather is all year round. The UK already produces good grapes for wine. Something no one would have thought 20 years ago. |
Not really, I grow them outside - although one did produce some small bananas this year. |
Do you get edible bananas from them? |
Graham, joking apart, I've grown Musa Basjoo and Ensete Maurelii for some years. |
Think we got rough end of stick with climate wouldn't mind as much if it wasn't prolonged period of grey meh! |
Thinking of buying some banana plants next year
2024 on track to be world's warmest year on record |

The 'Trump' effect? :- |
I’m not saying he is going to punish the UK but if he puts import taxes on majority of products from China it would leave the door open for UK and in particular ITM. Alternatively if Musk has any influence on Trump and seeing Hydrogen as a threat to his electric semi it may push hydrogen further away leaving hydrogen truck manufacturers perhaps pulling out of the US and concentrating on Europe. Lots of combinations.
Plug getting hammered perhaps Trump wants the loan back. |
PLUG down 18%, TSLA up 13% and the connection is...... |
We are out of the EU so he would not have the same need to punish us now.
Steel was one of the targets and that is almost gone now anyway. |
I suppose if he intends on increasing import duties then a trade deal may be beneficial should those countries currently exporting to the U S become in competitive leaving the door open for UK companies |
