IMG_7780_slot.jpg On Thursday 19th November 2009 over 31cm of rain fell in 24 hours on the Cumbrian mountains. The single largest rainfall total in the British Isles since records began. It caused unprecedented flooding, with Cockermouth being particularly badly hit after both the Cocker and Derwent burst their banks. The main street was 5 feet underwater and £millions worth of damage was caused. This shot shows the remains of Northside Bridge in Workington which was swept away in the floods killing PC Bill Barker who was trying to stop traffic from going onto the bridge when it collapsed

IMG_2366_p.jpg In 2008 China became the worlds largest emitter of greenouse gases, fuelled by high levels of economic growth and electricity mainly being generated by dirty, highly polluting coal fired power stations. The Chinese are also investing heavily in renewable energy projects. Nearly every housing complex that I came across in many cities in northern china had solar water heaters on their roof. Here a bill board advertises solar water heaters

IMG_2761_drought.jpg Red Gum trees are iconic Australian trees that grow along the banks of the Murray River. They rely on a regular flood cycle to survive. The unprecedented drought of the last 15 years has lead to low river levels on the Murray River. This and upstream dams taking water out for irrigation has vastly reduced the seasonal flooding. As a result 75% of the Red gums are either dead or dying. Climate change will only increase the likelihood that these trees and the wild life that they support are left increasingly vulnerable.

IMG_3646_workington.jpg The devastating floods that hit Cumbria divided the town of Workington in half after all the bridges crossing the river Derwent that seperates the town were destroyed. This left many residents with a 40 mile car journey to get to work or school, which previously had been a half mile walk. This week a footbridge was installed by the army to reconnect the two halves of the town. The bridge was named the Barker Crossing after PC Bill Barker who lost his life when Workingtons main road bridge was destroyed. There is still no way across for vehicles and Cumbria County councul announced this week that it could take up to two years to erect a new road bridge.
