We seem to be breaking new records constantly at the moment.

Scientists found evidence that climate change made the warmer weather last month more likely.

Definitely and then when you get lots of rain it's more likely to cause flash flooding due to the ground being so dry!

Indeed - it'll be falling and flowing away in sheets of water. If we were any good at planning ahead, we'd ensure the river systems could cope but they won't and it'll get messy.

We live very close to a river and according to some of the projected climate chnage flooding maps a lot of the riverside areas and lower land areas near the mouth will just be gone. Dont think it's quite sunk in for people the potential impact climate chnage it going to have

I live about a metre above sea level. Fortunately the sea defences are solid but the sea level rise maps still aren't a comfort. I'd need a boat to visit my brother who lives 15 minutes away.

Hah, well let's hope it doesn't come to that! Meaningful change best be just around the corner
