Get Ready For Underwater Holidays , Says Dopey Telegraph Reporter

If the Telegraph still wants to be regarded as a serious newspaper, it needs to get rid of the idiots who write this sort of stuff:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travel-truths/ways-climate-change-will-alter-holidays-by-2050/
The soppy piece, which is frankly an insult to its readers’ intelligence, the lists some of the changes:
-
Your summer holiday could be in northern Europe (or not in summer at all)
-
Those (Maldive) overwater villas could be underwater (Poor Sophie does not mention underwater airports, for some reason!)
-
We’ll treasure the underwater world
-
Travel insurance could get pricier
-
Britain could be leading the way in wine tourism
-
Ski resorts will be summer ones too (what on Earth does she think Alpine resorts have been doing for decades?)
All this in the space of a couple of decades.
The most likely outcome is very few people will actually be able to afford to holiday abroad, once their incomes are shrunk by Net Zero.
As usual the commentators see through this nonsense:

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Underwater airports or Seaplanes?
Stingray.

Why UK consumers had to foot a £7bn (and-growing) gas bill for National Grid

When in doubt the Green gullibles (including the journalist) recycle previous (and wrong) predictions by self appointed Climate “scientists”.
1958 Scientists say The Changing Face of the Arctic the polar ice is 40% thinner and 12% less in area than half a century ago. Even in the lifetime of our children the Arctic could be open so ships could sail over the North Pole. NY Times Sunday Oct. 19, 1958
1970 New Ice Age coming by 2020 World Will Use Up All its Natural Resources
1974: ‘Another Ice Age?’ Advice from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia and from Dr. George Kukla & Dr. Helena Kukla Columbia University The rate of increase of snow and ice is much faster than would be expected. The Guardian, January 29, 1974 1981: Scientists (including Steven Schneider) warn global warming would see Buckingham Palace 7 feet underwater (Thames TV) 1987: NASA’s James Hansen predicts world 3C warmer by 2020. 1988: Maldives completely under water in 30 years Hansen & the UN
2000: ‘Children won’t know what snow is by 2010.’ Dr. David Viner a senior research scientist at the climate research unit CRU of the University of East Anglia
2004: Britain to have Siberian climate by 2020 Source: The Guardian, February 21, 2004 2007 Dr. David Viner within twenty years, the Mediterranean would become far too hot for European holiday makers, who would instead flock to Blackpool to take advantage of warmer summers in the UK.
2009 Underwater Cabinet Meeting The government of the Maldives has held a cabinet meeting underwater to highlight the threat of global warming to the low-lying Indian Ocean nation. BBC News: 17 October 2009
Reality 2019 Five new airports will come into operation by the end of the year, the Maldives government announced Sunday. Adding to 12 now in use
And compare all that with the endless “it’s worse/happening faster” claims. So none of the predictions even come close but it’s all happening faster than forecast somehow.
It is just a single typo. The prophecy is for year 4050, not 2050.
“impartial” BBC reporter gets a reality check from Guyana’s president.
Chris Rose on X: “This is magnificent to watch. The President of Guyana truly put the BBC in its place. When sanctimony and pomposity meets sense and modesty. https://t.co/5gOKvUNCo2” / X (twitter.com)
this “reporter” is regularly on BBC24 news at about 5a.m and is a perfect embodiment of what is wrong with BBC news
Why no Maldives underwater committee meeting? Went viral last time. That was when they had 30 years before drowning 30 years ago.
Water everywhere but not enough to drink…

BA English (Cambridge), MA Journalism, edited student publication, few brief internships and some freelance, and a couple of years in perm jobs as a “travel writer”. So trained to write prose about subjects she knows nothing about and rewording activists copy into something the proles can understand. Give her credit though, it is a very competitive area, although Cambridge, connections and years of nice holidays probably prepared her well.
Cynical? Moi?
more BBC and Attenborough garbage. Mammals battle for life in new David Attenborough series – BBC News . Note this wildlife programme info is shown on the website under News/Climate. Series starts tomorrow
Example ”In one episode we learn that rising temperatures in the Arctic have led to the sea freezing later in the year, and without sea ice the polar bears and arctic foxes cannot hunt. For one fox the wait is too long and the crew speculate he has died from starvation – hunger drives the other foxes to feed on him.” So the BBC are moving from bears to foxes now the former scare has been debunked.
article written by Esme Stallard, yet another “climate and science” reporter employed by the BBC/ Another posh lefty climate grifter working through climate non jobs following indoctrination at Imperial. At least her degree is Geology which is “science” (although Sheldon in “Big Bang Theory” would dispute that vehemently). Her Linked-in profile is an exemplar……
yet more BBC climate reporting drivel
Climate change could affect timekeeping, study says – BBC News
All about the possibility of a negative “leap second”.
“Climate change is affecting the speed of the Earth’s rotation and could impact how we keep time, a study says.
Accelerating melt from Greenland and Antarctica is adding extra water to the world’s seas, redistributing mass.
That is very slightly slowing the Earth’s rotation. But the planet is still spinning faster than it used to”.
All down to global warming of course. A non story if ever there was one
meanwhile, at the Guardian Extreme heat summit to urge leaders to act on threat from rising temperatures | Extreme heat | The Guardian
the usual suspects spouting the usual rubbish about heat deaths. Whilst other “natural disasters” are mentioned, no mention of cold deaths. I wonder why?
also from the Grauniad.. Ross River virus: more than 1,500 cases recorded in Queensland as mosquito numbers spike | Health | The Guardian
Why was this “general” article about the problems of mosquitos to be found under News/Climate Crisis.
Aha…… at the bottom
“Rising temperatures due to global heating will cause a long-term increase in mosquito-borne virus infections.”
another Guardian article under the News/Climate Crisis menu
Tuvalu accepts security and climate pact, says Australia’s Pacific minister | Tuvalu | The Guardian
“Australia commits to assist Tuvalu in responding to a major natural disaster, a health pandemic, or military aggression.” so why under Climate crisis ?
Aha “The treaty allows for the migration of 280 people from Tuvalu to Australia each year, while also recognising Tuvalu’s statehood will continue even if its land is inundated by climate-related sea level rises.”
The Telegraph article makes Grimm reading but I feel that it is a bit of a Snow job. Of course Dopey in the story was actually mute and also know as “Straw hat” which these days we would probably call a straw man.
This whole nonsense started off based on what exactly? Certainly not statistically significant empirical data obtained by a repeatable scientific methodology.
I was about to draw Paul’s attention via the About tab ( which is NOT working) to report the daily climate porn from from the climate religion specialists of the BBC. Hundreds of starfish stranded on beaches in Prestatyn and Rhyl (bbc.com)
I quote “Gem Simmons, a marine biologist from Prestatyn, said strong storms, which are becoming more frequent due to climate change, sweep marine animals onto the beaches”!!!!!
Evidence?
BBC fact checkers looking the other way?
Classist BBC, ANY “expert” is good enough to pontificate as far as the BBC is concerned as long as he/she/it sings from the religious hymn sheet. Their contempt for their readership is demonstrated by their thinking that any person with an “ology” is a unquestioned Klymutt expert. WHERE is the evidence that storms are becoming more frequent BBC? WHERE are the BBC fact checkers? Klymutt Sheyngshe is now inserted into any reporting of nature almost by default. Unstable cliff collapse…Klymutt Sheyngshe…..fewer starlings this year…Klymutt Sheyngshe…..too much traffic on the road this morning…Klymutt Sheyngsh….my football team not doing so well this season…Klymutt Shengsh.
It has become the default excuse (and source of income) for legions of not very good scientists and other assorted idiots with Arts degrees for anything their tiny minds are incapable of understanding. The whole of academic (sciences) research is now completely distorted and not fit for purpose, because if there is a need for funding, then inserting a need to study the effect of Klymutt Sheyngshe on “X” is now de rigueur. We are killing the Enlightenment with the death of a thousand cuts, each cut represented by every nonsensical references in the bought media to Klymutt Sheyngshe as well as every shoddy study of “selected” scientific literature dressed up as scientific research churning out yet one more set of worthless statistical results indicating a need for a critical need for more funding for “further study”.
