Having benefits of Climate Change is like having a page on the benefits of terminal cancer. You don't have to worry about your pension, you get to meet people at the hospice, you save money on hair cuts after treatment.

Climate Change is certain death, people need to understand this.

And do you think they would follow this better by learning about it and asking questions, or being fed dogma to memorise without understanding it?

And no, your comparison is obviously silly anyway.

Anywhere you find a 'Vine Street' is likely to have been a Roman Vineyard. There's one in Edinburgh IIRC.

Not to be confused with "Grape lane", which has a much naughtier etymology.

Climate Change is likely to result in death for some people it may make life better for others.

Climate change has been going on for millennia. It probably did for the dinosaurs if it weren't a comet.

Now human driven climate change may be happening and we will need to plan for it. If we are causing it we need to change globally.

And much of London?

there is always a silver lining!

Science needs to focus on modifying genes to allow us to adapt. Inject us with some sardine genes and we could all live underwater in a few generations.

But will that cope with 10m sea rises we're promised?

It can't.

They need to build a new one.

Remember being dragged to the museum linked to it as a kid a few times. Climate change came up in one of my teenage visits and it is mentioned randomly on BBC London News that they need to build a new one or raise the old one some how.

London built a barrier for just such an eventuality, Norfolk rely on burning sage leaves and turnips...

The Romans had extensive vineyards on the southern slopes of Combe Down on the edge of Bath.

Inneresting.

Spent the first 20 years of my life on Combe Down

Yes there will be places that will benefit. In some ways you can already see that by the way English wine making is becoming more commercially viable.

I guess it's harder to see the positives because flooding, fires, drought is what grabs the headlines but I expect there are places that will see new opportunities arise as a result.

Nothing new about that. The Romans had extensive vineyards on the southern slopes of Combe Down on the edge of Bath.

Norfolk could be submerged.
