I guess it will be powered by CO2 some how. And built on a flood plain to help with cooling

Bollocks😂😂

🤔how it will only predict weather not stop it

Well the last one didn’t - just kept Cray afloat

1 billion! A computer won’t stop climate change. We all need to do that together. I am sure the money could have been spent on much better ‘green’ projects.

Here's a better idea stop building on flood plains

I fail to see how a computer will help

So will NOT BUILDING ON FLOOD PLAINS and NOT BUILDING NEXT TO RIVERS. But hey, what do I know.

Just stop producing so much CO2, don’t need a super computer for that

I hope they've recycled the old one. Not just thrown it in a river.

Surely it will just tell us which areas are going to be worst hit by weather

....is it secretly an umbrella stand? Or does it just tell the tories when to sell at risk properties?

British woman repeatedly trafficked for sex after Home Office failuresHigh court judge intervenes to prevent victim of county lines sex exploitation being made street homeless after refusal to find her safe housing If you think this is shameful to Britain look up Rotheram. The police cover up child rape, 1000's of cases for decades for fear of being called racists. The worst thing is it still goes on today. You guys gotta fix that before communities get together and go fix it themselves. Government services too often apply the rules without a human face. Time and time again, people suffer due to this inability to see things how they really are and adjust to ensure care and safety of our fellow citizens, Whoever used this woman in this way cannot expect their life to end well..how can you pile misery on one person and expect your life to go smoothly
