We're saved! In an attempt to prevent bad weather in Topeka, people in Vietnam will hold a breakdance contest and go without straws for a week in cafes

Global climate change campaign launched in Vietnam - Global climate change campaign launched in Vietnam - VOVNEWS.VN
The global campaign on climate change, 350.org, was launched in Ho Chi Minh City on August 11.

This year’s campaign themed “Moving planet” will include many activities such as climate camps to provide training on climate change and help for residents who are directly affected by climate change in HCM City’s Can Gio district.

There will be communication campaigns at schools to raise awareness of climate change, build a preference towards “green” living and encourage renewable energy sources, and call on families and agencies to paint their house roofs white and plant creepers on walls to reduce indoor temperature and save energy.

On the global action day, which will fall on September 24, the campaign 350.org coordination board will encourage thousands of people to commute to schools and offices by bicycle or on foot.

The highlights of the event will be a moving art festival showcasing environmentally themed paintings made of straws, a breakdance contest and a week of no straws in cafes in HCM City.

In England, the government does things in its own way. Our East Coast is subject to erosion and, of course, the warmists predict sea level rise.

The governments answer is to abandon many of the sea defences and allow much productive agricultural land to become saltmarsh and wetlands. That will help to feed us in a world of increasing food shortages. Let them eat mud!

Oh! And they've also made us change all our light bulbs but are making sure that there won't be enough electricity generation for us to keep them alight all the time. Regular power plants are being closed down and we'll have to rely on windfarms and solar panels (in Britain!)
