  1. yesterday was lovely wall to wall sunshine 15c got up this morning and its snowing and -5c..."my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined"
  2. BlueSkies_do_I_see if the EU is like Canada then they only ever log you entering the country but never when you leave ..so they would have no idea if you had left or not after 90 days..and honestly i highly doubt officials would spend anytime trying to track you down
  3. ANYWEATHER not really..in terms of technology history tells us the furture..it will happen..that's the problem with any future predictions we look at it through todays eyes and todays knowledge..im saying people alive 200 years ago would have no concept of todays world ..not a single person/scientist/politician could envisage the world we take for granted today...therefore we cant envisage the world in the future where our knowledge will be outdated and obsolete and the world we know today will be long dead and buried.
  4. Sky Full two things that will happen in the next two centuries (assuming no nuclear conflict) is the world population will collapse to more sustainable levels... by 2200 i expect the population to be half what it is today if not even lower...secondly technology will have advanced at such a pace that we cant even imagine today where it will be or what it will look like...climate change will be a thing of the past by that point..everything we use and see in our everyday lives today will be gone...we will be as far removed from todays world as we are removed from the dark ages.
  5. Sun Chaserno snow..i witnessed a cold front at ground level literally roll up the cloud mist and fog into glorious sunshine..you could walk and follow the back of the cloud and mist on the ground up the hill (this was in Southway btw) as it was pushed away..i have never seen such a clear definition between a warm and cold sector right on the ground.
  6. Sun Chaser can confirm Exeter is way sunnier than Plymouth ..often it would be misty murky and drizzly in Plymouth but once i got the other side of the moors east Devon and Exeter would be dry bright and sunny ..actually did witness a fabulous weather phenomena in Plymouth in 1996
  7. WYorksWeather your missing the point..taxation and banning stuff doesn't work and using seat belts as an example isnt the same either..using your argument we should ban smoking and alcohol because in terms of related deaths and anti social benefits they are way higher than driving a car..prohibition didn't work because people will still find ways around it..increasing tax wont work either as people will still find ways to pay for it ..you cant force people into compliance by beating them round the head with rules and financial penalties because people will and do rebel ..then you will have the GP really push back on climate measures in a huge way...look what happened with the poll tax riots and the non payment that occurred
  8. WYorksWeather taxing the sheet out of stuff or banning will not work and it doesn't work..what works is making petrol cars etc obsolete through making other forms of power more efficient and less costly and we are just not there yet..IMO EV are a short term stop gap until other way more efficient modes of power generation is developed which will happen as technology advances
  9. TwisterGirl81 when i lived in Exeter i worked for 3 years in Plymouth..often the weather would be utter garbage in Plymouth but when i got home it was fine and dry in Exeter esp in summer..have to say Plymouth can be pretty grim in the winter..often wet drab and grey and the weather is none too special either
  10. for me the problem is not climate change and the world is warming because that is a known fact because it has already happened..thus that cannot be denied. The problem is nobody knows the actual consequences on the world 50-100 years down the line because it has not happened..what we have is an educated guess on future predictions that cannot be guaranteed due to the fact that all predictions for the future the past tells us they will always be wrong esp the further away you are from year zero.
  11. Methuselah im just old enough to remember the summer of 1976..but i still put 1995 summer ahead of 1976 with 1983 a close third ..as for Spurs getting relegated in 1977 oh how we laughed ..until we got relegated the following season
  12. 110cm Edmonton by end of March 2011..not been close since
  13. i remember going to West Edmonton mall (one of the biggest in the world) the day before it was closed for lockdown..there was literally me and two other people in the whole mall and only one shop remained open all the others out of nearly 900 had closed ..all the mall music was still playing but felt like you were in a some zombie apocalypses movie
  14. Fantastic summer for me..spent 3 weeks in June on hols in Cyprus..in fact it was the last Holiday i have been on.
