UK flooding is ruining thousands of acres of farmland!!!

Don't you people get fed up with so much fearmongering?
Yes, we know weather is changing. Its happening all over the world. Its called cycle.
You all make it sound as if 98% of uk is effected. Its other way round. Only 2% is effected.
Did you know that in total only 5800 houses have been flooded? And all of them have been on flood plains. Duh
A disaster waiting to happen eventually that no one wanted to do anything about.
Now think about this. Had the governments of the past made provisions for the floods, no one today would be screaming doom because no one would have been effected. Its not the weather that is the problem. Its a natural cycle. Its how we protect ourselves is the issue here.

Imagine in Netherlands has not built dams all around the country. Doom would have been the major topic there. But as it stands, no one in Holland is talking about doom because they are well protected regardless of weather.

It doesn't matter how many times the Thames barriers have been raised. It was built for that very purpose and it is doing its job. If necessary then they will build a higher one to better protect.
So you see. Doom is due to lack of protection rather then severity of weather.

dredging the river would not stop rising sea levels


for example, the Thames barrier is being raised most days the reason for that is rising sea level.....I know the media keep babbling on about dredging rivers but that would not solve the problems

if sea levels rise on the coast that means the rivers estuary will push water back effecting inland areas such as summerset...the water can not escape

dredging rivers will not solve this problem

There is no rising sea level issue yet. There may be by the end of this century. This is why they are closing the barrier

Thread: BBC report a developing tidal flood situation -- From the end of my street ! (Page 3)

you are on the wrong thread

This thread is about flooding jeez

but but but! we are told its the worst rain since 250 years ago. we are not being told the flooding in this instance is caused by the sea

as i said, the rivers authority successfully managed the rivers before they were removed. because it was a national authority responsible for a national duty. a duty they performed too successfully. hence the ENVIRONMENT agency took over and saw to it that this successful, proven operation was no more

this cannot be overlooked and disregarded

The economic toll of these floods will be the real damage, as predicted by me back in 1994......the great most satisfying thing is, my ex called me yesterday to apologise for calling me a nutter back in 1994 when i told her it would happen, but my date estimate was out, i said it would be around 2005, i've since learnt that consciousness does not know time being outside of it, hence i know longer put dates to my insights and visions

yes there is ,just because the media ignore it it still matters,the reason the Thames barrier is being raised every day(a sinister fact) is because the sea levels around the coast of the UK have risen....

Ok, doomsayers explain this
Sea Water stays at the same level all over the world. This means any rise in sea level will be measured exactly same all around europe.
Many parts of europe are on the same elevation as uk and many are in fact lower and some are lower than sea level.

If sea levels are rising and uk is getting flooded because of this.
Can you explain why other nations who are at same elevation as uk or even lower are not having the same problems?

See what I mean?
Doom is because of mismanagement and lack of protection. Other nations don't have this problem because they have anticipated and well protected themselves. So where is the doom for them?

Rubbish, go read my post about the tidal bulge here in Kingston to see why the barrier is being raised. Look at the chart and the pictures of the local flooding, that is why.

They are not the same even 1 foot rise would be huge some have been calling it more like a 3 feet rise has already happened.and there is the huge sea water bulge.

The Thames is having two tides...one forcing water up the river and another tide forcing water down the river...the media are not explaning this to people..the engineers working the barreir are sh1tting themselves

The water can ONLY be forced up the river by rising sea levels

oops not holland dredging, i meant reclaiming land

thanks for the laugh

The Thames barrier was, I always thought, only ever intended to be used rarely, in extremis. At the moment it is being closed on every high tide but with no let up in the weather how long before it has to be closed permanently to save central London? Those who are saying this weather is just normal are deluded. We may have had more extreme isolated incidents of flooding in the past, but the widespread and ever widening extent of the present floods is unprecedented and we must now surely be approaching a state of emergency.

We get two high tides a day. I guess you have never been to London. Twice a day the river reverses direction and flows upstream from Greenwich lifting the river level at high tide. Go read my posts to understand why the barrier is being shut at the moment, something is different about the barrier operation now, but it has nothing to do with rising sea levels or changes to the tide.

January took the record for the most rainfall in one month and UK records date back 250 YEARS





(does this seem normal to you ???)

do you think its going to stay like this forever?
