A new era is here without warning? NO, environmental activists and Scientists have been sounding the alarm for years.
An era of drought, heatwaves and flooding. This is an #SHTF. This is the era of civilisation collapse. Anthropogenic, abrupt, rapid and irreversible climate change causing flash flooding, severe storms, heatwaves & severe drought. This is not just a human tragedy; this is an ecological tragedy.
Global Flash flooding, landslides, mud, & tree trunk Lahars with cars mixed in, driven by heavy rains, have forced their way through Texas, Tibetan & Nepali Towns. Killing hundreds, often without warning. Pluvial precipitation, rain so heavy it changes landscapes, & washes crops out of fields. The New Era is one of climate & ecological collapse. A hard truth even environmentalists will neither face nor talk about. This is why we talk collapse
Adaptation?
Mitigating climate change and adapting to its effects are two equally urgent tasks. While mitigation looks at reducing heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions, climate adaptation aims to enhance the resilience of ecosystems and protect communities from the effects of climate change. Our governments and we are failing dismally at both adaptation and mitigation. This global civilisation is on the Brink of Agricultural Collapse. Less than 1% of humanity have the skills to survive until we get from here to 5°C
National Drought Group meets after driest spring in 132 years (UK Government’s site).”The “Environment Agency convened a National Drought Group meeting today (5 June 2025) to discuss the latest outlook and hear from water companies about steps they are taking to prepare for the summer.
England has only seen 57% of the long-term average May rainfall and spring is the driest since the reign of Queen Victoria. However, the recent rain at the end of May and the start of June is helping to stabilise the position”
It seems ludicrous that far-right US Climate deniers have threatened to take weather radar offline with acts of sabotage. The conspiracy delusion runs that deep. Imagine believing that 1000s of climate scientists have actively conspired to invent an existential threat now playing out in reality.
UK agriculture faces multiple challenges; the most serious is climate change. NO Climate = NO Farming
UK agriculture in 2025 faces a confluence of challenges, including extreme weather, labour shortages (Brexit), and policy changes (Brexit), impacting both production and profitability. A warm, dry spring has raised concerns about harvest yields, while rising input costs and labour shortages are further straining farmers. A significant lack of available labour, particularly for seasonal work, is hindering productivity across various sectors of agriculture. (Brexit) Labour shortages are driven largely by Far-Right complaints that jobs are being taken, but vacancies are not being filled.
Spring 2025 was the driest on record since 1893, stressing crops and potentially reducing harvest yields.
Changes in government support programs, such as the pause on new applications for the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI), are adding to the uncertainty and financial pressure on farmers. Brexit cut all EU subsidies for farmers. Analysis suggests that the 2025 harvest could be severely impacted by the dry spring, with potential for near-record low yields.“The UK could be headed for another terrible harvest, following the warmest UK spring ever left crops stressed and in poor condition relative to previous years.”
These hot days are no longer a novelty; they are a warning sign. For some, they might mean more barbecues and trips to the beach, but the same warmth also brings a forecast of hospital visits, respiratory issues, sleepless nights, and, for increasing numbers, life-threatening risks. For a country built for the cold, the UK’s relationship with heat is changing fast. This heat is the loss of agriculture’s Goldilocks climate niche.
