The initial drivers of climate change being centred upon the rise of the global industrialisation of predominately the northern hemisphere and lately the southern and none industrial areas catching up with the earlier industrial countries, such as China, India and Africa.

−	A complex interaction between climate weather passed on via road, river, groundwater, and often the geological effects of terrain, and mountains ~~funneling~~ weather.

	The change in weather often came slowly and unnoticed, and in places ignored or not believed, thinking it was a one-off, the 1 in a 100 event, little realising it was anything but. Doubter as they were called, started bringing in evidence to pour cold water on the idea that the weather was changing.

Tie this into dark water storage for effluent will help in times of flood to store effluent efficiently, reducing the need to flush to sewers that are overloaded, and spill into the floodwater creating the potential for increased disease.

Yes, as I mentioned earlier companies will stand to reap a lot of this in the supply of new materials, and labour, but forests are not an instant fix, time is also needed to repair the damage. But time is not the all- encompassing healer we perceive, it does not return to the original state, the effects, as I mentioned earlier have a knock-on effect, often choosing another alternative route of repair, causing yet more damage, and cost.

−	The so-called city or urban heat sink is in part a function of external colour and texture choice, which so often relates to the density of that material. Careful orientation and adequate shading from natural trees vegetation and an active SUD’s plan, plus structural ~~Brie Solee~~ construction are ways to limit the problem.	+	The so-called city or urban heat sink is in part a function of external colour and texture choice, which so often relates to the density of that material.

	Every significant design, no matter where it is situated, goes through some form of planning, It is here that most of the external materials and the elements as a whole are decided, mostly because of their look and appearance. Their relationship to each other, and what the combined visual effect is. But so often any concept of manufacture, energy use, its effect on the building's occupants, let alone its effect on the climate is so often ignored.

	The loss of so much ice from the polar regions and the effect on the planet is unknown, certainly, the wobble dampened by the ice, is starting to increase, albeit very slightly, but measurable, and the loss of the weight of almost 2 kilometres of ice from the Greenland interior is allowing the Earth's crust to move, it is not known what this will mean but it will have an effect. Certain businesses are undoubtedly pleased by the icecap loss, particularly the shipping fleets who now have a route along the northern coast of Russia, primarily for the shipping of crude oil to new sites to convert crude to petrol and easy shipment to Europe. It seems like more bad after bad.
