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.

366W5940_virgin.jpg An Air Greenland helicopter flies over the Jacobshavn glacier or Sermeq Kujalleq drains 7% of the Greenland ice sheet and is the largest glacier outside of Antarctica. It calves enough ice in one day to supply New York with water for one year. It is one of the fastest moving glaciers in the world at up to 40 metres per day (19 metres per day before 2002) and has also receeded rapidly (40 km since 1850) due to human induced climate change as temperatures have risen in Greenland by 9 degrees fahrenheit in the last 60 years. An underwater moraine at the mouth of the fjord grounds the largest icebergs causing a backlog of ice completely blocking the entire length of the fjord with ice.

IMG_2227_drought.jpg Most of Victoria and New South Wales in Australia has been in the grip of an unprecedented drought for the last ten years. River levels have dropped and reservoirs are at a fraction of their capacity. Lake Eildon was created to provide irrigation water, but the last time it was full was in 1995. The day the shot was taken it was at 29% capacity with levels down around 75 feet. This area has not been underwater for years and locals have taken to driving their off road vehicles across it.

IMG_8194_coral bleaching.jpg Coral on the Great Barrier Reef, off Cairns, Queensland, Australia. Many area of coral reef around the world are threatened by coral bleaching, where the sea temperatures are getting too warm and stressing the corals, forcing them to eject the algae that give them their colour. This consequence of climate change is seriously threatening many reefs.
