‘Homes may have to be abandoned’: how climate crisis has reshaped Britain’s flood risk

The climate crisis is here and now and this is its face in Britain, scientists told the Guardian. But the devastating impacts are accelerating faster than the work to keep communities protected, they said: torrential winter rains are arriving 20 years earlier than climate models projected. While those forced from homes engulfed by filthy water are suffering today, a darker question is looming: will some settlements have to be abandoned?

Storm Chandra, which pummelled the south-west this week, followed hot on the heels of Storms Goretti and Ingrid. New 24-hour rainfall records were set in places in Dorset, Devon and Cornwall. Setting new records is the new normal in the climate crisis.

This very long video is by one of my favorite creators. The bulk of the video is about renewable energy in general and solar power in particular, well worth the watch time. I'm putting it here instead of the technology section though because at the video he takes off the gloves and goes Political - though in a way most here would probably appreciate.

I love Alec! *high fives Cody*

The guy is scary gifted. It is the rare talent indeed who can do 40+ minutes on I was right about dishwasher pods, and now I can prove it and actually make it interesting. And that's about the third program he has made on dishwashers!

The Guardian ‘To live a normal life again, it’s a dream come true’: UK’s first climate evacuees can cast off their homes and trauma
Clydach Terrace is one of the most dangerous places in the country, classified as “high risk to life” by the flooding management authority. The residents’ six-year-long nightmare ended last week when Rhondda Cynon Taf (RCT) council voted to buy 16 of the street’s 18 houses at a cost of £2.6m, and the doomed homes will now be demolished.

It is believed to be the first time anywhere in the country that such drastic measures have been taken as a result of the climate emergency, earning the road’s residents an unenviable moniker: they are the UK’s first climate evacuees.
