My brother in law lives in BC in Canada, he was meant to go away camping this weekend but the campsite had to be evacuated.
He was saying fires in his area have got so big they can't put them out and will have to wait til it snows to extinguish them.- That's the BC interior every year. Dry spring just made the fires early this year.ETM

Sicily hits 48.8°C, the highest temperature ever recorded in Europe

What is the threshold for you to consider making a drastic change i.e. moving to an area less likely to be drastically impacted in the next 30 years?
- Weather is global, you can't run from this by moving to "an area less likely to be drastically impacted"grafician
- true- but some regions will hopefully be more comfortable for a longer period of time.epic_rim
- Don't think so. Sicily had almost 50ºC today and Greenland 20ºC
Our mistake was thinking we had time to re-act. Sorry, the changes are exponential...grafician - I’m already considering buying property, but the question is where? And is it even possible to predict a safe(r) place?nb
- Head to the hills...epic_rim
- @nb all those Germans that lost it all in those recent floods probably thought they were pretty safe from global warming...grafician
- Agree about Germany. What a wake up call. It’s so hard to predict. Perhaps impossiblenb

- Exactly. Mass transit was supposed to be an affordable alternative. Bulllshit.monospaced
- trains are such a rip-off. great way to travel and I love them but so cost prohibitive._niko
- even if you were renting a car, it still comes out way cheaper to drive the entire family._niko
- What about before they were privatised? Apparently the market knows best, commies etc etc.MrT
- They were "affordable" in the 80's, long time ago.********
- Try being spontaneous with trains = empty out entire contents of your bank account.shapesalad
- Trains are only affordable is you travel alone and book in advance. Liverpool to London is only about £30Chimp
- < Plus parking costs which can be up to £50 for the day. You can get a Birmingham to London family ticket for 4 for £77 total.Morning_star
- Also, the congestion charge of £15 for the car.Morning_star
- Add car depreciation/mainten... etcdrgs
- Apparently making it harder for large groups of people to spontaneously travel was thought about. So it would be expensive to go protest for example.PhanLo
- I drove from Edinburgh to Hastings for around £60 on Petrol, it would have been easily more than double on the train.PhanLo
- But you need a car to put in gas also? Trains are expensive for the once in a year traveller but frequent travellers have their shit togethermekk
- something something about peasants.. i mean phesants - glorious 12th wibble wabbla x wheres my cigar_me_
- Also right now, trains are an enclosed space full of other people so there's a much bigger covid risk than in a carBaskerviIle
- Would be interesting to look at the data. Family of 4, 1 car for 1 year, all costs vs no car and train/bus for 1 year. And not prebooked trainsshapesalad
- What about insurance, maintenance, registration, parking, taxes and all the other hidden cost of car ownership? These don't exist in the UK?utopian
- the train network in the UK can't handle loads more rush hour traffic anyway. Needs a mix of low carbon-buses, trams, pedestrian / cycle only routesFax_Benson
- especially to and from train stations. I guess traditional rush hours might become less of a thing, post-covid.Fax_Benson
- there needs to be a tax on idiots who just drive around because they can't think of anything better to do. Tax drive-throughs.Fax_Benson
- spend it on public transportFax_Benson
- She had to add how much was the car/number of years used + yearly maintenance + petrol + parking + ETC.zarkonite
- The real cost of having a car is almost always more than public transport, she just sucks at counting her money.zarkonite
- My car cost £100 to fill with petrol. It’s a standard 5 series BMW.Hayzilla
- all transport costs.... because the rich don't want to make easy for the poor to come in contact with them.shapesalad
