Yes the Govt needs to help those that can't afford to change, and pressurise other countries. It's their job. The only thing they can think of is the next election.

I remember way back when at the end of September and beginning of October, for a few days, temperatures where 79/80 F.

However, the melting ice will, apparently, affect the Jet Stream as the warm sea currents change. When/if that change takes hold, we will be colder. We can't stop that - it's part of the 140,000 year cycle.

The problem in the UK is that our contribution to the global problem is pifflingly small. The rush to net zero must not send us broke.
