Crikey, feel sorry for those who have to deal with flooding. So pleased I’m on high ground. Good photos.

At what point do we collectively aknowledge that we have entered into a new epoch of climate change, and that we are not merely individual bubbles of ‘self’ wandering around going…about our business.

Our actions induce reactions.

Thought someone might say something like that. Get a grip, it’s just a bit of weather. We’ve been sold the idea of climate change as it can justify additional taxes etc. So now every time something happens, it must be climate change. Load of tosh!

This is not just ‘something’ though is it? This is quite evidently weather & climate orientated! I’ve lived here my whole life & have only witnessed this twice, both in the last couple of months. I dont think that the idea that climate change is real or the undeniable fact that our adiction to fossil fuels has had a massive effect on our environment should be ridiculed.

What taxes would they be? Permafrost thawing and releasing previously locked methane gas…which in turn create ‘positive’ feedback loops that repeat the process causing more thawing…and so on, arctic ice melt at a rate never known before,Greenland ice melt recorded at the fastest on record, thousands of heat temperatures consecutively broken in America in one year,storms and gale-force winds tearing across much of the UK, before our… Read more »

The way that flooding continues to affect our low lying parts of the island, I do feel that when people purchase their properties (Which is possibly the biggest investment that they will ever make) should shy away from properties neat to the coast and rivers. We all know that there is an anticipated thawing of the ice caps, so it would be prudent to become flood wise.… Read more »

We’re now witnessing massive ice melts, and with them..ocean acidification which affects the phytoplankton that processes most of the oxygen,instead of ice as a reflective…we now have deep dark ocean acting as a heat sink. As I mentioned before there’s also methane release due to thawing of the permafrost, plus the Amazon rainforest has started to release more C02 than it sequesters, and the list goes on………… Read more »

Back in the 1970’s this area and Sea Street used to flood worse than this a couple of times a year. We had to use the, then existing, reserve exits in order to escape from County Hall.

Then SW revised the drainage in Newport which improved the situation but flooding was estimated as a once in 5 years event if the new attenuation tank overflowed.

Indeed, ‘event’s’ have been variable throughout the course of time. The question is…..is there a more consistant narrative to local weather patterns and conditions that are affected by the global climate on the whole, I think it’s safe to conclude that yes,yes there is. Even a slight increase is enough to influence the fine tuning of the symbiosis between earths regulatory systems, to what end?….hard to say,… Read more »
