SubscribeBrown Blames “Climate Change” For UK Floods
From the global warming cultists at the Guardian:
PM orders review into water damage
Monday July 23, 2007
Prime Minister Gordon Brown said the Government would set up a review into the flooding after surveying the damage during a helicopter tour of Gloucestershire.
He said the Government would increase the amount of money spent on flood and coastal defences across the country from £600 to £800 million…
Speaking at his first monthly briefing with the press, he said: “Like every advanced industrialised country, we are coming to terms with the issues surrounding climate change.
“We are going to have to look at drainage, surface water, as well as river water, and what we are going to be able to do in the future in relation to that.
“We will have to invest in coastal defences, flood defences and of course drainage in infrastructure in the years to come and that’s why we are setting aside more resources to do so.” …
When it rains a lot more than usual, that is climate change.
Climate change happens.

No comment about banning SUV’s or asking the U.S. to pay for this? They’re slipping.

I am not a journalist (although I am a recovering print reporter from back in the day)
I wanted to see how quickly and easily I could determine this flooding risk was not new.
So, I did a Google search for “britain flooding” and found this page (the 6th link down)
http://www.environment-agency......d/?lang=_e
Which has this great passage right at the top:
“Around 5 million people, in 2 million properties, live in flood risk areas in England and Wales. The Environment Agency has an important role in warning people about the risk of flooding, and in reducing the likelihood of flooding from rivers and the sea. ”
So, this threat is not new at all. The flood risk areas don’t arise overnight. They are assigned because of existing, historic problems of flooding.
So, what about this is new?
It would seem that the areas that are in the flood risk areas actually flooded!!! That’s it!
Incredible!

jimwilson , I’m not a journalist either , but as one that has the sometimes powers of observation ,things
seem to go in cycles . As you so well have pointed out . When I see lots of rabbits one year , I’ll see lots of fox or coyotes the next . Nature will take care of it’s self . If you live near water it will go up or it will go down . Life on this rock we call home , will always continue , it just may not be us . Adapt or become a fossil . To think that we have any kind of influence on it would be mocking God .

That’s sound logic. Lost on the MSM If you live six feet below sea level, sooner or later, you will get wet. NOLA’s fail to understand that. Build your house on a fault line and… Eventually, we’ll be expected to rebuild granolaland.
God must not exist. He wouldn’t allow stupid people to suffer from their own stupidity. That’s libtard logic.

Oh God exists alright….he is slapping his thigh and laughing hysterically at just how bad His creation can become, while others are quite normal.
Actually, he uses things like this to tell the libtards at the Gates….”THIS is why you are going to hell!” “Now adios, charcoal boy!”
And I am not even what you would consider a “good Christian” either….but someone, somewhere has got to be saying..” hey guys, come look!” “can you believe this crap?”
and laughing again as muslim after muslim appears, only to be told, “uh, no akmed, you dont get any virgins for blowing up that schoolbus”. However, you are the main feature at tonight’s BBQ down in flametown. Akbar this, turd head!” “hahahahahaaaaa! MORON!”

SJ, I didn’t do a very good job of expressing my opinion (as usual) I should have said:
“By libtard logic, God must not exist”. That’s why they have to ‘take care’ of us.
I agree on the sense of humor. Why else would we have penguins and ostriches?

Oh hell OG, I wasnt besmirching your statement! I was jumping on that wagon, and using your logic as the fulcrum for trashing the libtards who believe that they ARE God, but refuse to believe that He exists. You did fine, I thought you were referring to libtards, and your other phraseology proves it! I will remind you to dislike them all in the morning, in case you are busy.
