Climate Change not to blame for Summer Flooding - Who are you trying to kid

In the summer during 2007 parts of the UK suffered from flooding in what a new report from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) were the result of record breaking rainfall.

Now I wonder if they were assisted by the University of the Bleeding Obvious!

This whole report is pure propaganda to down play the effects of climate change. While not totally ruling out climate change, they say that we have not had enough extreme events to say if climate change is the cause.

Now as I sit here writing this we in the UK are facing another storm with winds of eighty miles an hour, the third in a row and only days after the last one, I am left wondering what it will take to convince people of the reality of what we have done to our planet. Yes winter storms happen, but this is supposed to be Spring. Wet summers do happen but as summer floods are supposed to be once in fifty year events, we can see no more summer flooding for next half a millennium can we?

We have, under Gordon Brown, a prime minister who pays lip service to the environment, but follows policies that will further damage the environment and our climate. The economic damage of not tackling this problem will be even greater than the investment in the solutions.

But we need to pull our heads out of the sand and see what is really happening.
