A photograph of a landscape in #Cumbria , #England that will be hammered by droughts (summer) & floods (generally autumn) as the effects of climate change intensify.

But, the fewer greenhouse gases people emit today & tomorrow, the less #ClimateChange will "hammer".

#ClimateHeating isn't a holiday in a hot country.

A photograph of a U-shaped valley in Cumbria, England. The flat bottom of the valley is a floodplain. Notice how many area's have been historically deforested for timber, & sheep farming. Also, most of the larger wooded areas are conifer tree plantations. Though, compared to many areas in the county, at least there are fragmented tree stands. 

Most of the income in the area is related to tourism. The development that can be (just about) seen near the top middle of the photograph is a Farm \ Caravan \ Campsite. Tourists like to burn diesel pulling their caravans to the area. The campers also like to burn charcoal and wood in their BBQs or campfires. The farm is a sheep farm. Sheep "like" to belch methane into the atmosphere. 

The sheep have no idea, therefore, don't care how climate change will effect their lives.

#OnThisDay in #history - in 1199, John "Lackland" became king of #England after the death of his elder brother, Richard I.
Richard had named John as his heir, skipping over his nephew Arthur (as the boy was only 12 and John was an adult), but Arthur rallied forces to fight against John to take his inheritance.
After being taken captive, Arthur disappeared, like several other English princes, never to be seen again. John ruled until his death in 1216.

The old Fulling Mill, on the banks of the River Wear in Durham, forms part of the 'classic view' of Durham Cathedral.
Originally a water mill and house, it dates from the C17, but may have incorporated parts of an earlier building.
Sadly, it’s ten years this summer since the building, which had become the Durham Museum of Archaeology, had its contents moved to a new home at Palace Green. Such a shame that since then, it has stood empty.
