From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Homewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh dear! What a load of rubbish, Aviva!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"News<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Infographic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some of the UK\u2019s most well-known landmarks could be at risk from the impacts of extreme weather in future unless action is taken, according to a <\/em>new report<\/em><\/a> by leading insurer, Aviva.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aviva\u2019s third Building Future Communities report brings together the latest data to outline the risks that homes could face from multiple climate threats by 2050 and beyond, including flooding, subsidence and extreme heat. The report also highlights the importance of preventative measures to help protect homes, businesses and communities across the UK.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, some of the UK\u2019s most well-known landmarks, including Cardiff Bay, York city centre and Liverpool waterfront, could be vulnerable to flooding because of rising sea levels, heavier rainfall and more frequent weather events. Even Edinburgh Castle, a hilltop landmark, could be at risk from surface water flooding from increased rainfall overwhelming drainage systems. The Giant\u2019s Causeway, an iconic landmark in Northern Ireland, is likely to be increasingly exposed to coastal erosion and instability.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Our Building Future Communities report lays bare the risks that homes and businesses could experience by 2050. The findings are stark. Millions more properties could be at risk from flooding, with rising temperatures, increased urbanisation and inadequate drainage exacerbating the risks in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason Storah, CEO UK & Ireland General Insurance, Aviva<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Rising temperatures could put other popular well-known attractions at risk. The arts and crafts Red House in south London is already suffering from subsidence linked to the prevalence of clay soils, which swell and shrink during wet and dry weather. Ongoing maintenance will be required to protect its facades as temperatures increase. Plans are already underway to protect these important sights from the impacts of extreme weather, but, like many properties across the UK, further adaptations will be needed to help them get ready for the future.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aviva smell higher premiums here, with the help of fictional scare stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the basis of their scare:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Executive<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The claim about homes at risk from flooding is directly lifted from the Environment Agency, who already laughably maintain that 7 million properties are at risk of flooding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Table<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The EA then proceeded to add 27% to the river and sea numbers, and hey presto, a third of the country is now going to flood!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Table<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The EA has been working this con for years now. Dream an impossibly big number, then double it. Feed it out top a gullible media and then use it as a basis to forecast ever bigger numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The media gets its scary headlines, insurance sharks put their premiums up and the government gets cover for its ruinous Net Zero agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole system is corrupt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, back in the real world the number of properties flooded each year is in the low thousands.<\/p>\n\n\n
