A very cool site – Thanks Andy Logan for showing me this. A raindrop or more importantly a pesticide or plastic waste dropped anywhere in the USA will end up where? Go to River Runner.
CLIMATE CHANGE
I was surprised to read that there are still climate deniers around. Presumably they do not watch the news from around the world. Or are they deluded into thinking that it is a problem for other countries. Apparently the Treasury is more concerned to balance the books short term than take advantage of the long term benefits of being at the forefront of clean technology.
CLIMATE -NO COMPROMISE
Before the suits and spin doctors get to work with world leaders in Glasgow to create a false scenario. See this ‘Climate change is here’
COP26
HORRID SOCIETY
What sort of moron sets fire to someones car because they disagree with them? If caught they should certainly be jailed. There are many people I disagree with, sometimes passionately, but would respect their right to disagree. I hope Chris Packham remains steadfast and strong in his beliefs.
LIVING WITH THE VIRUS
FLOODS
London hit by floods again. High rainfall maybe down to climate change, but we have clothed our cities in impermeable concrete and tarmac. Front gardens have been paved for extra parking. It is time to have a change of plan. All car parks should have lattice paving allowing infiltration. Roof gardens encouraged, lakes and ponds developed, wildlife areas planted. Put more trees in. Subsidised water butts. These measures might not stop future floods but they would certainly help.
BREXIT
Remainers have been criticised for not applauding the benefits of Brexit. Power has transferred in some areas from Brussels to Westminster where it has become centralised with little devolution to the other nations of the UK. Trade with the EU has plummeted and not been replaced. Immigration has been stalled, maybe even halted, but to the detriment of many parts of the economy.
GEOGRAPHY OF VACCINATION
Trying to understand the map of vaccinations.
ESSENTIAL WORKERS
To start with identifying these is easy. NHS and blue light workers. But these people need to get to work so add in public transport workers. Parents need their children to be in school so add teachers and education staff. Shop workers – mainly food shop workers but then add chemists – and supermarkets sell other stuff so in the name of fairness all shop workers. Then financial workers to keep the payment system working.
