It seems that the majority of threads this month alone have been non-gardening - and the same was true in June Come on all you gardeners - let-s have your thoughts/questions on gardening please please please Jeanne Surely the effects of climate change (which will in time make gardening out of doors pretty much impossible), are perhaps extremely relevant to this particular group? The weather may well effect members of this group far more than most, and to me it seems very worrying that almost all group members seem to have swallowed corp media propaganda suggesting climate change either doesnt exist or is irrelevant, even in the face of the worst summer since records began, and similar situations in many other parts of the world. On what basis do you blame global warming? The forecasts of its effect has been totally out in the past, after all they use computer models, not real life. Also this is by no means the worst summer in living memory, though bad. It was only 40 years ago that the "scientists" were predicting a mini ice age because it was exceptionally cold. As regards it meaning eventually there will be no more gardening that certainly is not predicted to happen in the lifetime of any posters here, even by the most gloomy predictors. Why have people who do not agree with you been biassed by corporate media propaganda any more than you being biassed by the other side? -- Residing on low ground in North Staffordshire Obviously you are better informed than the Met Office, who seem to be suggesting this is the worst summer during the course of the 100 years information relating to our weather has been being recorded.................maybe you should put them right? The problem with these "worst than" or "hottest" etc is where they measure it, probably London as everything is centred there. However there are large variations over the country, small though it is, which is why forecasting can be so hit and miss. I have often listened to the forecast, found it wrong, driven a few miles away and there is the forecast weather. -- Residing on low ground in North Staffordshire |
