With parts of England receiving more than a month's rain in less than 12 hours, the country as a whole having its wettest June for over a hundred years & with some weather stations reporting their wettest calendar month ever, it seems the drought may be over.As I write, cities are suffering power cuts, RAF & Navy helicopters are occupied in rescuing victims trapped in shopping centres & industrial estates as rivers burst their banks & a number of tragedies are being reported. It's taken the civilised world over ten years just to get the US government to acknowledge climate change & we were told recently that the biggest contributor to our woes is now China. How exactly do we create that 'special' relationship with China to have a similar level of influence, I wonder?
