It's interesting no media is willing to discuss a link to global warming. Yup this is just natural weather pattern/earths cyclic pattern but is exactly the type of weather that was predicted for the UK

That's the rest of your christmas shopping out the window then.

Serious flooding here on the edge of Exmoor and its still tipping it down now

I'm impressed by the Environment Agency's flood maps. They show exactly where flooding might occur in the worst weather conditions ... out our way, with 100 per cent accuracy. Our road is completely under water (to a depth I've never seen before) - exactly where the Agency predicts.

Environment Agency - Whats in your backyard?

Won't change a damn' thing.Climate has always changed,always will.Just got to adapt and let technology and man's ingenuity do its part.

There's been some interesting data released recently that's not been talked about much.1 no country in the EC is investing heavily in the science of co2 capture at the moment.2 the China and India goverments are ploughing ahead with the building of coal-fired power stations coupled with the fact that they will shortly become the largest uses of coal. 3 the American oil giants have said that there is alot more oil reserves that can be got at and in the next 20 -30yrs they don't see a problem with supply. So the Greens are going to have a hard time slowing down the so-called climate change anytime soon. So the Goverment in this country has to look at stopping all building on or near flood plains.
