Does anyone know if the flooding in the uk is normal, and if its been hapening for years or is it coz of globa

Question

global warming?
why is it flooding, im watching the news and im living in the uk now, and no1's really maing a big deal of it, is it normal.

Answer 1

In areas close to rivers, yes!
In other areas, no!
It is not global warming, it is bent counsels approving planning applications for homes in unsuitable areas!
It is also the fault of over population, and covering vast areas in concrete, so the water has nowhere to go, the water table cannot be replenished, (that is why we have hose pipe bans), because the majority of the water is directed into the drainage system, and overloading it!

Answer 2

It's normal but it's happend more often over the past 30 years partly because we have been building more houses on flood plains. I don't know if actual rainfall has increased over that sort of period due to global warming too.

Answer 3

ABnormal !!

some place very hot very dry (eg. India over 45 degree celcious), some place too many water / ice !!

and the season also messing up. Winter become warm, spring come earlier even the birds also got cheated,....

So who should be blame ?
Those always use plastics bags without think twice, on air-con whole day / month / years , even with jacket on (funny?).
and ..........

Answer 4

Last year they were telling us we would never have water again and the drought was permanent; Global warming is nonsense and non-science.

Answer 5

It happened in towards the end of the year 2000 too.

Answer 6

It worries me where all of this rain is going to. I am sick of this wet weather now, it should be blazing hot and we should all be out sunbathing, and not sitting in doors with our central heating on.

Answer 7

its always happened,and tatie is right about building on flood planes etc,

Answer 8

gobal warming definately
