Well today in the UK we have tarencial rain and flooding everywhere today I've been as flooded because the council will not claim or empty the drains out all because of a cost because a cost of the clean them but it's going to cost more now because of the floods but all kinds of care about money money but on spend it it wasn't there back pocket the money goes in their back pocket because the council is full of corruption

If the British didn't deforest so many of their hills then the showers wouldn't be as much of an issue.

Peat fires are a problem too as the peat acts like a giant sponge ,lots of it can suddenly disappear.

The peat over here also disappears because of intensive agriculture, releasing more CO2 into the atmosphere.

I expect if anyone suggests the time tested method of using all our own organic waste on the land they would get laughed at,we usually import chemical fertiliser and the land suffers,London has spent a fortune sending waste straight to the sea via a massive sewer,so the river doesn't even get a chance to act on it,what should be useful material has become a problem and dumped on some seaside towns!

If I had all the money in the world I promise these people would have been drought free in months , not decades.

The affluent have been robbing the poor for years under the guise we are helping them develop!yes we've heard the same for years,can you imagin God peering down at us lot sat on piles of goods like chocolate,tea and sugar from the starving lands and asking us to explain ourselves? "we're helping them Lord"

It's like fighting a losing battle, but while ever I still have breath in my body I will do all I can.
I am supporting the national woodland trust to plants saplings and regenerate woodlands and forests .

Well he certainly sees everything and he would never promote greed .
It's true that these lands have been robbed and it makes me so angry.
There is no excuse for them not to have water.
Decade upon decade of adverts, begging letters, text messages, door to door canvassers to provide clean water.
So where is the clean water ????????

We will have thousands of drones delivering us endless piles of tat made from materials likely mined and or grown in some of the parched lands.Where there's a will (to be greedy)there's a way!
