Most of the heaviest polluting nations are working hard to address the issue. USA is resisting because the USA is a moron. India hasn't got a hope in hell as government control ends at the city boundary of New Delhi. Japan and China are pushing renewables hard and there are very stiff fines for breaching pollutant levels (citizens also face fines for not recycling properly). EU's been putting limits on energy use for ages. Lower wattage vacuums and lightbulbs etc means less energy demand which means less energy produced which means less power plant pollution. A few small steps quickly adds up if enough people do them. i saw on QI once, there was an exec at an airline who decided they would do something like remove a peanut from each bag of complimentary peanuts on board. obviously this was to save money but when worked though over a year for all the planes their was a noticeable reduction in the fuel used. So something as simple and minimal as that can have an effect then as tesco says every little helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ri Alban Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 The flooding is absolutely horrendous, but no doubt, after a week of sunshine in July, there'll be a hosepipe ban in the same areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well aye, all this rainwater will flow into the sea. The state of the UK's water infrastructure is another argument for another thread, but the stats say that somewhere between a third and a half of the nation's drinking water is lost through leaking pipes.
