With every flood, public anger over the climate crisis is surging | Gaby Hinsliff

These storms have gone beyond the point of simply being storms now, each blurring into the next to create a strangely end-of-days feeling. Everything is freakishly sodden and swollen, and while the rural flood plain on which I live fortunately hasn’t flooded anything like as badly as some, the rivers are rising alarmingly. Yet still the lashing winds and biblical downpours keep coming.

Smoke and mirrors. The only way to switch from fossil fuels is tax. Make it unprofitable to invest in those companies. Investors will always follow the money

In a country where it's necessary to put a sign 'flood' in the flood, you are trying to talk of a really complicated problem the ClimateChange . Good luck with that.

what is required is anger at the government's fundamental lack of proper infrastructure spending on flood defences & ensuring developers of both housing and commercial buildings for not 'building' sufficient and effective water displacement infrastructure.

Ah... I see the gang who have never bothered to read an actual scientific document, and get all of their information via Facebook memes, are out in force for this one.

The irony being those actually flooded blame successive govts for not investing in infrastructure, whilst those not affected sitting in their metropolitan bubbles pronounce on what those affected think.

You mean the lack of dredging and river modifications due to misplaced green policies coupled with government failure to implement adequate flood protection and building on flood planes. It’s not about climate change.

No it's not, it's a wet winter, definitely not the first one, unless you believe the media

ciabaudo We can’t talk about climate until we factor in geoengineering Until we halt weather modification programmes, we won’t know what the climate really looks like.

Exactly where is this “anger” being directed?!

This is the result of Blair's 13 year long Labour Gov't refusing to repair the roof whilst the sun was shining, what a shower.

I don't know, Karen on Facebook who got a D in GCSE science, doesn't think it is. It's hard to say who to believe.

And how many will be jetting off on holiday soon?

Better get up China's ass about it then because Britain doesn't emit anything compared to them.

I wonder how many deniers are rethinking their meme-based education and Youtube tutorials?
