Want to know one reason why #flooding is getting worse? #nature was designed to be green. No green, no absorption of water. With no green, there is more dissipation of heat, drier soil, vicious cycle.

If your position is that the climate is changing, whatever the reason, then stop helping accelerate the effects by supporting lifestyle choices that mess with Nature.

If you think man-made climate change is a hoax, there is a lot of truth in that, but do us all a favour and please don't carry on as normal, messing with Nature.

Either way the recent flooding has the mark of man all over it and everyone, regardless of politics or fleeting grasp of climste science, needs to take responsibity for the impact of nature on society. (Note I didn't say it the other way round. That was to make it real.)

I am of course beyond reproach myself living a simple life eating local food, most of the time and not too fussed about being uncomfortable from time to time. :)

Just the computer, a phone, internet, the long tail infrastructure needed to support that, as well as clothes from who knows where, dependence on occasional transportation.

Yep, it is complicated.

But fundamentally I don't mess with the land that I am the current guardian of, so I sleep OK under fire from whatabouterists who don't have the resolve to make changes to what they know in their bones is a terrible direction of travel.
