    Climate Change & Survival.

    We are all responsible, we are all in this together, we are all hypocrites. Thats right. But I haven't flown for 23 years, I don't have a car. We have an A++ fridge/Freezer and a washing machine- no tumble drier, no dishwasher. All the phone charging is solar. From recycled parts. I'm a proper...

    Climate Change & Survival.

    Looking at China isn't the point. We actually can't stop climate change, and whether we can survive it is questionable. The latest paper on climate looks at the existing data, the existing emissions already in the atmosphere. These are gigatones of CO2 which humans have put there. @Woody girl...

    Climate Change & Survival.

    It's very easy to look at the weather in Britain now and mistake weather for climate. Just to emphasise what @Wander is saying the drought in France is deepening and affecting their grain harvest, and this is not just their grain, but grain across the world is being impacted. The problem with...

    Alternatives to hazel out of coppicing season?

    I grow some wild ones at the end of the garden, to create a cool shady spot where I hang out when it's hot. I coppice them for poles which I shave before using to stop the rooting. I have some Hazel too, platted and twisted to make staffs which I sell. They are labours of love. It's a tiny...

    Alternatives to hazel out of coppicing season?

    Also, coppicing and trimming some of the new green soft shoots in spring makes excellent compost for the garden. Sent from my SM-S901B using Tapatalk

    I was, but your comment made sense, and now Toddy has clarified his comment. Rest assured I am not happy about our predicament.

    Milankovich cycles cannot counter the heating caused by the additional CO2 & CH4. However this year, 2024 & 2025 the Milankovich cycle which takes us closer to the sun along with the super El Nino which is already causing flooding in Guadalajara,Mexico is pushing the global temperature to...

    Climate Change & Survival.

    I'm not predicting 20 years or more, at at no point in any of my comments have I done so. What is well established by peer reviewed science is tha 5°C is where humans will likely go extinct. I know people are talking about adaptation. We need to adapt to now. People in Scotland say they haven't...

    "I think you're cherry picking, and stirring." At this point I realise that there is little point in continuing to have a conversation. I have given you the best, most up to date peer reviewed data. What you do with it is of course your business. Just on the point about cherry picking. The...

    Climate Change & Survival.

    I beg to differ. When someone tells me CO2 has nothing to do with climate, its a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes this planet habitable. If it wasn't for the greenhouse effect- CO2 in the atmosphere (pre industrial levels of around 180 parts per million (ppm) ) this planet would be...

    Hot weather survival

    I have just read through this entire thread and searched it and not found "Wet Bulb Temperature" mentioned at all. I find this really surprising & also not surprising and this isn't a judgement. "Wet bulb temperature is the lowest temperature to which air can be cooled by the evaporation of...

    Cutting the tree out of season probably won't damage the tree other than in drought conditions. Sent from my SM-S901B using Tapatalk

    The Panama Canal, a vital passageway that moves 6 % of the world's maritime commerce, will extend transit restrictions due to drought-induced low water levels. Canal authorities first announced restrictions this year, creating a backlog of vessels waiting to cross.25 Aug 2023...

    Climate Change & Survival.

    For people on the frontline of climate change, in the region within Km of the 45th parallel, this is terrifying. You have seen your rivers dry up and temperatures above 40°C. It must be really hard to hear other people just bluntly deny that anything is happening, have their own ideas about the...
