RE: https://mastodon.me.uk/@ChrisMayLA6/117031423663641306 "Now is not the time to nationalise our water industry or acknowledge that Climate Change is here and we have to deal with it" - Politicians #ClimateCrisis #Politics #UKweather #Drought

How serious is the drought that is currently being experienced across Britain (for the most part)? well, here is a Met Office map that pretty graphically shows the problem. If this is the future we will be needing to be thinking a lot more carefully about water management & (likely) nationalise the industry as the private utilities have demonstrated a lack of serious intent to actually manage the water courses, being only interested in *draining* the system of cash #water #drought #politics

RE: https://mastodon.scot/@ScottishGreens/116919409378440101 Just as with COVID, hundreds of deaths, hundreds of grieving families, are barely a news story, not nearly as important as the Football or something... #ClimateCrisis #Heatwave #UKWeather

@ScottishGreens@mastodon.scot
In just two months there were 2,700 excess deaths in England and Wales related to the heatwaves. Each one leaves behind a grieving family. Houses, workplaces, cities, the NHS, social care and more all need to be equipped to respond to longer, hotter summers. https://www.thenational.scot/news/26279285.scotland-cannot-afford-ignore-heatwave-risks-greens-warn/

Trying to stay motivated to work in the heat. It's as hot (maybe a tad hotter) in the office as outside (27C) so I'm sitting in the garden with the laptop. The breeze at least makes it tolerable. Tue-Thu maybe not. I need to get work done now so I can lounge about as #heatwave peaks. #UKWeather
