What are peoples thoughts on what the future long term climate may look like - 100, 200, 500 years plus. I ask as I'm part of a private organisation that buys land for tree planting and nature restoration. We already plant a wide variety of species, some of which may become more dominant as the climate shifts. However, here in the UK we may have to contend with a colder climate if AMOC switches off so planting for a warmer world may not be best for long term success of our planting. It would be interesting to know some climate experts thoughts. More about our organisation here > https://buylandplanttrees.co.uk/

If it's not blowing a gale and horizontal rain one of these increases the days you can dry outside. Laundry Mac

Popocatepetl has just gone pop!

The storm surge is predicted be 9ft on these streets. These houses (of which there are hundreds) are gone if the forecast is correct.

Bison apparently emit less CO2 than cattle. https://buffalobillfoldcompany.com/american-bison-cattle-emissions/

The similarities to both those times are rather worrying.

Still no rain for the north. Here in Cumbria is extremely dry, young trees are beginning to show signs of die-back and the rivers/lakes very low.

https://dailyplanet.climate-kic.org/glacier-retreat-can-slowed-artificially-produced-snow/ This isn't as difficult as it may sound if those glaciers that form part of a ski resort are tackled first as the snow making infrastructure already exists and would just need extending. It would also make it more financially justifiable as the resorts would benefit from an enlarged summer ski area.

It's getting a lot gustier here now.

I agree Tignes is a great location and with the new Solaise bubble out of Val makes the whole area very accessible, and if you like itineraries then Tignes is the place. I've been a few times and will be back again next week.

Thanks both, I shall put some time aside to digest all that info.
