New report looks at the impact climate change could have on how people live in Cornwall in the future.

Extreme weather events like the 2017 flash flooding in Coverack are projected to become more common

Extreme weather events like the devastating floods in Boscastle could become more prevalent due to climate change, a report has found.It found sea levels are likely to rise by up to 1m by the end of the century. Professor Stephen Harrison, who led the work on the report, said: "We are not doing enough nationally and internationally."

The professor of climate and environmental change at the University of Exeter, added: "Cornwall has clearly taken climate change seriously pretty quickly, maybe not as quickly as it should have done, but Cornwall is not unique in that."We have a regional airport that is important for the local economy and development of space infrastructure.

"That is important to keep open and at the same time we are declaring a climate emergency. There are places where the left hand doesn't always know what the right hand is doing."The report was commissioned as part of the climate change action plan drawn up by the council after it

BBC Science? Is that like Married Batchelors?

C'mon! 😶

It’s just weather folks

And the sun could explode. . Signalling bs for your globalist billionaire employers. 😕 Joe public ain't buying what you lot are selling.

England is tipping Eastwards, with East Anglia slowly going under & Cornwall rising like a seesaw. The tin mines mean it's leaky as a colander so you should be alright.

DefundTheBBC

Just like more butter could lead to heart disease. Stop the propaganda. We are *just beginning* to see it.

Not really though

Could. 🤣

FakeNews

Scammer scams local council with known scam, in order to try and scam yet more money and influence.

It “could” also lead to me becoming the next pope, marrying a supermodel and being cast as the next Bond. All of which, quite frankly, are considerably more likely than your fear-mongering bollocks…

Could = could not

Utter alarmist garbage ClimateScam ClimateCrisis

The climate will always change. What are we gonna do, block up all the volcanoes, block the sun, cancel wind, stop the moon? These all effect the climate! We could clean up the planet, but stop with all the nonsense, you only make fools of yourselves!

More 'impartial' scaremongering from the BBC. Ofcom

This is truly utter BS and you know this

Or could not

Or not ...🤔👇👇👇👇

I've lived in Cornwall for over 50 years. This report is fear mongering bollox.
