IMG_7685_danger.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. Here a footbridge over the River Derwent in Workingotn is one of many that was destroyed or damaged in the flood.

366W5723_police.jpg In January 2005 a severe storm hit Cumbria with over 100 mph winds that created havoc on the roads and toppled over 1million trees. The event lead to severe flooding in many parts of cumbria especially in Carlisle. As global warming takes affect we can expect more of these severe weather events

366W7905_tuvalu.jpg Funafuti atol, Tuvalu, on the front line of the battle against global warming. Only 15 feet above sea level at the highest point (with many parts of the island lying at or barely above current sea levels) rising sea levels are increasingly putting the island population of 10,000 Tuvaluans at risk. It seems likely that this island nation will be the first country to disapear completely as a result of climate change/global warming. Sea levels in the Pacific have risen slowly over the last 20 years and the rate of rise seems likely to increase as ice sheets and glaciers melt more rapidly with ever warming temperatures. Tuvalu is the smallest country in the world, only 26 Km2, and most vulnerable to sea level rise. It lies close to the equator and virtually on the international date line. Ever rising seas threaten to make the island uninhabitable. Already during the highest tides, sea water is forced up through the porous coral atol and floods many low lying areas of the island during the highest tides. This salt water incursion poisons the thin soils and makes growing crops increasingly difficult, leaving the Tuvaluans increasingly dependant on expensive imports. As well as sea level rise the weather patterns are altering with a shift in the cyclone period by a month and an increase in stormy weather. The stormy weather is creating greater wave erosion and many parts of the island are suffering land loss, as palm trees are washed into the sea as the island is undercut by wave action.

IMG_7582_jokulhlaup.jpg Metal girders from a bridge that forded a glacial meltwater river crossing the Skeiderarsandur, in the Skaftafell National Park in Iceland. The bridge was destroyed by a jokulhlaup, a glacial flood that are frequent in the area and often caused by volcanic activity rapidly melting huge quantities of ice.

IMG_9602_tanker.jpg This Thomas Armstrong lorry (a local haulage contractor) was the first to cross the new Workington bridge, from the north side over the River Derwent, during the official opening. The bridge links the two halves of Workington to motor traffic for the first time in 5 months, since the devastating November 2009 floods.
