The BBC said in this news article:
Wet weather in July drove online shopping to record levels as consumers surfed the net rather than sloshing down the High Street, a report claims.
and the Guardian says:
Risks of flooding are growing to “unacceptable levels” because of climate change with up to 4 million Britons facing the prospect of their homes being inundated, according to a report to be published today by the government.
The report by the Office of Science and Technology gives the most chilling picture yet of how global warming will affect the lives of millions of Britons over the next half century.
So we might all drown or frazzle due to climate change, but we will be shopping on-line while we do.
Madness.
