I completely agree Sid.....very few people in the world understand that we are killing our planet.......diving in the Mayan reef last week, huge areas were "bleached"....the 4 divers with me explained that every year it gets worse......the oceans are too hot and poisoned by excess Co2...plastic....it's truly horrifying once you understand what we've done.
Nobody really cares....it's sad
KHOU 11 is back up and running, well done guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWwqIO_4VNw
Houston will deliberately flood areas around downtown tonight by releasing water from the lake-holding areas.....the worry is that the lakes and holding walls/levee walls will collapse (similar to what happened in New Orleans) and hundreds/thousands will be killed.......a slow release means that people have time to escape....it starts in a few hours....this is now a once-in-a 500 year-flood
This has never been attempted before....4,000 cubic feet per second from just one of the lakes

Yup, climate change was a major factor in all of them. Are you so dumb you thought I was blaming Trump for this hurricane? I only blame him for turning a blind eye to its causes.
For the ump****th time, I am not pro-Corbyn. My hope is that Starmer will come to the fore. I certainly like where he is at the moment.
They were all described as 'once in X amount of years' but a quick tally up shows they are about once every four years now.
The vast majority of human beings won't heed the warnings and won't do anything until it directly affects them. Huge corporations know what's happening but pay people to pretend it isn't.
Wouldn't it be nice also if the UN Security Council just for one day stopped trolling each other and discussed dedicating a minuscule part of their budgets to fishing the great maelstroms of plastic out the sea?
