lol, they don’t know much about water conservation or desalinization, do they?
What I find funny, is an areal only slightly larger than Kansas, actually has about a dozen different areas where they can discern drought conditions……lol…. I didn’t rain on my block, so I’m having a drought, but my neighbor is drowning…..lol
Maybe we should tell our cousins across the pond about this new thing they just came out with, its called “water irrigation canals”. I know, its sounds sci-fi, but its real and can work! If you ask nice, maybe we’ll share the info on how to accomplish such wonders!
To any Brit, that may take offense, none intended, just poking a little fun. 🙂
I think even chicken little is blushing…
OMG drought for 3 months? If the ancients had time travelled to the future/present, and observed mankind today by only reading the Guardian, they would wonder how mankind ever made it this far being such thumb sucking ninnies. Someday these large brained humanoids may realize that they are surrounded by water and that they’ve had desalination capabilities since 1960.
While the Guardian was reporting on the hot/dry in their little .001% of the planet surface they call home, I wonder if they noticed the snow falling in African deserts in June or the new record lows that were being set in Australia, Africa and South America? I doubt it as the Uk’s version of Pravda is pushing the extreme AGW meme to support efforts to impose more government solutions like carbon taxes and expensive + inefficient + unreliable wind farms, which like life guards at my local beach, didn’t work last winter.
Of course in MET fashion the Guardian is offering a caveat that the meme could change at any moment to cold/wet when they say in the very last sentence of the article, “Flooding patterns remain equally unpredictable, with severe floods afflicting nearly all of the country’s regions in the last decade, in both winter and summer” but no matter what the weather is it is extremer and man mader. lol
