Some towns are now banning people from paving their front gardens to use as parking space because of the danger of flooding from runoff.

 

There can be no doubt that we have not treated the earth well, create too much waste and do not handle the waste that we do produce properly. However, as for the ice caps melting - sorry Mike, but that is simply the climate changing as it has done for millions of years.

Many of the land features of this country were formed as glaciers tore there way across the surface of what is now land - those glaciers didn't melt because of people driving Range Rovers. Even the inference that we are accelerating that climate change is nothing but utter tripe - anyone who has ever defrosted a freezer knows that the melting of the ice appears to be very slow for the first three quarters of the total time taken; once the ice is melting, and thinning, then it goes all the faster.

Finally, I read an article the other day (wish I could find it now, and I will try) that stated that Polar Bear numbers have increased approximately 30% in the past ten years, and that this year the amount of polar ice is at it's highest amount since 2010.

 

Isn't it?

 

Not at all - I am also not gullible enough to believe that a gas that is at a concentration of 0.04% in our atmosphere is somehow causing warming.

 

@pete there's 151,600 people do that every day and it hasn't helped up to now

 

I can fully accept that there has been an increase, and that these other gases also be undesirable for a number of reasons - I don't, however, believe that the current headlong rush into all that is electric is the way to go. There are many, many things we could and should be doing, starting with our handling of waste.
