Wie das Vereinigte Königreich aufgrund des Klimawandels noch feuchter werden wird

Climate change is a marketing strategy. Nothing more. Id explain but i cabt be asked

Some questions I have;

If the water system is intensifying then how come it’s taken over 50 years for Reading to break the record for September rainfall?

>That compares with 146mm of rain for the previous highest rainfall figure for September in Reading, which was in 1974. “That’s a surprisingly large amount by which to break a record,” said Dr Thompson.

If warmer air holds more moisture and we have been getting hotter since the Industrial Revolution then how did it take that long for Reading to get a wetter September?

If the effects of climate change are unpredictable then how are we so sure that our knowledge is accurate enough to start predicting things like apocalyptic weather events?

I’m loving the not so subtle climate change denial and anti-science comments here…

I thought it was supposed to be getting hotter…. or colder… oh no drier! Actually no wetter!
This October will be the most of something on record if this weather carries on

Question for those who understand this better than me: does this “help” us in one sense? 

As in, further South parts of Europe such as the Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, even south of France are basically looking at “desertification” over the next couple of decades whereas (allowing for the fact that it’s evidently very difficult to track these things precisely) things like the AMOC collapse and increased storm activity in the Carribean, Gulf of Mexico, Southern US, etc means we essentially get more rain and probably a slight cooling effect (essentially reversing the warming of the last few decades). 

Seems like clearly we are going to have to get better at coping with flooding and high winds but water security may become less of an issue than we thought? 

Aside from the fact we are likely going to see a major social fallout from the incredibly thorny issue of what to do about the huge numbers of displaced people who will be heading north as regions like the Sahel, south Asia etc become increasingly uninhabitable (already seeing the beginnings of this now eith our European cousins increasingly opting for far right parties and asking for a harder line on immigration), what else am I missing here?

I read John Lanchester’s *The Wall* a couple of years back. Not a happy read, but starting to seem eerily prescient now. I recommend it if you’ve not read it and are a realist about what the future for our kids might look like.
