ACCORDING to the Environment Agency, England is running out of water. They have just announced that the country faces a shortfall of 6billion litres a day by 2055.
Although they accept that demand is rising with increasing population, one of the main reasons they give is, you guessed it, climate change!
Their report not only claims that summers will be drier, but that these impacts are already being felt. This claim is, however, bogus. Summers are no drier nowadays than they have been since 1840. Neither, for that matter, are they any wetter. We merely see the year-to-year variability we have always seen.
Moreover, across the year as a whole rainfall levels have been trending higher in the last 30 years. Water tables and reservoirs should, in theory, be fuller as a result, not lower.
How do they think they can get away with such bare-faced lies?
They are clearly desperate to deflect attention away from the role that mass immigration is playing in water shortages, even though they now assume population in England will rise by 8million in the next 30 years.
Lying about climate change is of course now a stock in trade for government. As if to emphasise how nonsensical their drought claims are, another Environment Agency report a day earlier warned that ‘our changing climate’ continues to bring more floods!
Don’t bother counting the bodies!
LAST week’s sunny spell had barely begun before the Guardian solemnly informed us that the heatwave would ‘kill almost 600 people in England and Wales’. The claim came from a manifestly fraudulent study by scientists at Imperial College London, who insisted without any evidence that these deaths would not be occurring ‘without human-caused global heating, with temperatures boosted by 2C-4C by the pollution from fossil fuels’.
The study was clearly designed to promote the Net Zero agenda by scaring the public with misinformation.
