Agreed.

I reckon I've been pretty much in touch with the natural world all my life,
and I'm certain that global warming, from whatever cause, is hitting hard,
and importantly, very much faster than many researchers anticipated.

It doesn't take a degree in climateology for anyone with their eyes open to
realise what real problems we'll all face in the very near future.

So the suited, townie politicians better soon get their priorities right:
forget about foreign holidays and fancy 'upmarket' cars... and get back to
the real world - now.

(rant over.. aah, that's better)

Best wishes,

Keith

After many years of gardening here, where we hardly get any frost, and
snow
is as rare as hens' teeth, I have never experienced such a 'plague'.

Anyway, if it were that much of a problem, how on earth do they ever

to grow anything further south, on the Scillies, or more southerly still

milder regions of the continent?

well I think global warming has a lot to answer for just look at the
insects flying around too many critters for this time of year
