That’s what the press and many people fail to emphasise- the impacts of climate change are ALWAYS local, and always personal. There are not abstract events on distant shores but coming to you, at work, school, and at home.

4c by 2100 is the ‘plausible worst case scenario’ but in reality given our track record thus far it may turn out to be optimistic. Governments are unprepared which means that people will suffer unnecessarily.

Your statement today about revoking the climate change act is embarrassing, scientifically illiterate and displays real arrogance. What exactly will your conservative government conserve? Profits at a great cost to us all? Your party need to rethink or it will become irrelevant.

Trump building a Ball Room whilst just a few hundred yards away homeless people will freeze to death in winter is exactly what is wrong with society, particularly in America. Albert Speer would have worked for Trump and the design would be quite similar to what is proposed.

Sarkozy enters jail over campaign financing - France's first ex-president behind bars Nicolas Sarkozy, president from 2007-2012, has appealed against his jail term at La Santé prison.

The French judiciary seems to be more effective than ours when it comes to corrupt politicians www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s what he is doing with that power, the unconstitutional things, that are the problem but Steve knows that really. Don’t be like Steve

And don’t give it to anyone else, just phase all the meaningless titles out.

Trump thinks he’s in some way won, in fact he has just put another nail in his country’s coffin as a superpower. China is making huge strides in climate change minimisation and adaptation whereas America is being left behind- a coal burning dinosaur that will trump will leave to drown and burn.

Why do politicians keep getting these things so wrong?

Wednesday briefing: The new, devastating flood risk facing nearly all of Britain In today’s newsletter: Flooding across Britain is predicted to become so bad that some towns may need to be abandoned, and it’s not even campaigners raising the alarm – but insurers

History will not judge this period well. It’s a kind of cult of self delusional hysteria- they think k if they say something it suddenly manifests itself as truth. Of course it is not and time is not their friend.

I wish I had taken the time to draft it properly now

Volume 178 Issue 5 | Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Engineering Sustainability | Emerald Publishing Research and practice papers on engineering a sustainable future.

The themed issue of the ICE Engineering Sustainability Journal — “Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure” — is now out.

It’s great to be a featured author, with my paper “Infrastructure climate change resilience: a review of resilience assessment frameworks”

I hope that someone is keeping account of how all the money being spent to rebuild Gaza is being spent because I would hazard a guess that a lot of it could end up in offshore accounts rather than in building new hospitals, schools, water supplies. and other critical infrastructure.

The tone is disturbing.

There’s no doubt that #Trump deserves some credit for the ceasefire but this circus being broadcast live is tasteless- it’s akin to a high school sports teams victory party rather than understanding how and why over 100,000 mainly innocent civilians are dead.

The tone of this speech is shameful. 18,000 children were killed.

I live in hope that justice will one day prevail

If a working class kid from a council estate had Johnson’s moral compass he wouldn’t have ever been out of prison. But he gets away with it, every single time.

With #Sarkozy being sentenced to 5 years imprisonment, what would have become of Boris Johnson, Matt Hancock and others if they had been running France during the pandemic? And yet here, crickets.

Everything is upside down

It’s slaughter, deliberate, calculated and a crime against humanity. What Hamas did was evil and what Netanyahu is doing is evil. Who will stop him? Who will put an end to this?

Still under development but has lots of potential

We’ve drafted a web-based tool for desktop climate risk assessment, and we’re sharing it for early feedback here: lnkd.in/eUMqru-s
As this is a work-in-progress, we anticipate gremlins in the coding 👾any comments or bug reports are most welcome. Comments to info@one-worlddesign.co.uk please.
