Don't worry the Govt, will be claiming most of it back from you as VAT on your fuel bill ! 😉
Coastlines have always been changing.

I think La Palma is the only place where the coastline is expanding atm, the rest of us will be retreating to higher ground. We could all go there but it might be crowded/smoggy/hot...

The seasons are a tad more complicated than that. The hottest period in the northern hemisphere is when we are the FURTHEST away from the sun. The coldest is when we are CLOSEST to the sun (go figure).

Re: Rising cost of living

Greta maybe irritating, but that doesn't stop her being right, which makes her all the more irritating to those that still deny reality.

She points generally in the right direction but she is extreme and unrealistic.

Still, they say a good negotiator asks for more than is actually required and may end up getting everything they actually want!

However, her general belligerence is turning some people off and as a result they are not listening.

Yes but that's just style, it's the substance that matters. How is the Cleethoroes coastline doing?

Coastal erosion is nothing to do with rising sea levels.
