The way it goes is that places flood so often that insurance premiums go through the roof meaning homes and business eventually become uninsurable. Already happening in California and Florida. It’s a slow descent into chaos while we all casually watch

The climate is changing before our eyes - but the political right is in denial. Action might mean more state and higher taxes. Former energy minister, Chris Skidmore, is standing down on the issue as a Tory MP. A principled man in an unprincipled party.
