Britons are never more comfortable than when talking about the weather.John Smith, Flickr.

Britons are normally never more comfortable than when talking about the weather, but recent extreme weather events have began to test that theory. Since December, the United Kingdom has faced a relentless assault from some of the worst winter weather on record. It began with the worst storm and tidal surges in 60 years hitting the North Sea coastline, floods that ruined Christmas for thousands across Surrey and Dorset and in January, the most exceptional period of rainfall since 1766. The deluge has transformed swathes of southern England into cold, dark lakes, destroying homes and businesses.

Politicians have looked weak in the face of such natural disaster, with many facing criticism from local residents for doing little more than turning up as “flood tourists” at the site of disasters, incapable of helping those in crisis and only there for a photo opportunity. The Environment Agency, the body responsible for combating floods and managing rivers, has also been blamed for failing to curb the disasters. But there’s an ever larger debate over the role of climate change in the current floods and storms, and it has been unremittingly hostile.

For those affected by flooding however, their immediate concerns are not necessarily about the manmade changes to the earth’s atmosphere. A YouGov poll from February found that while 84% of those surveyed believed Britain was likely to experience similar extreme weather events in the next few years, only 30% thought it was connected to man-made climate change. Politicians have looked weak in the face of such disaster.

There is no evidence to counter the basic premise that a warmer world will lead to more intense daily and hourly rain events. When heavy rain in 2000 devastated parts of Britain, a later study found the climate change had doubled the chances of the flood occurring, said Julia Slingo.

    Northland Center opened in Southfield, Michigan, in 1954 and at the time was one of the largest shopping centers in the world.

      But some of the mall hasn’t been updated in more than 60 years and there’s not enough money coming in to make repairs.

    French understudies sit two by two everywhere twofold tables so you may put your book in the center and offer with your neighbor. A few educators lean toward putting every one of the tables next to each other in a half hover as in a meeting space to encourage communication.

      192.168.1.1 is a commonly used private IP address created by the Internet Assigned Number Authority. Various router manufacturers use it as the factory default address for their routers. Netgear and Linksys are notable examples of such manufacturers. It is a Class C IP address that is used by both private home networks as well as companies to create a private network for performing specific tasks.
