It seems that every year either in summer or winter we seem to have a problem with our weather and transport systems, where as other countries seem to cope and get on with all that nature throws at it, in past years tidal surges and flooding were never planned for, or anticipated, yet again we were caught out,.
in summer we have the problems of tarmacked roads melting even railway lines too seem dodgy as these steel lines it seems can apparently soften, and leaves on the lines can also stop the railway from operating,
again in winter we have the opposite effect whereby snow has stopped some of our roads from operating even though snow ploughs are effective yet some councils in the past didn't anticipant correctly and plan accordingly, a few years some councils actually ran out of sand needed to grit the roads, today some councils it seems have learnt the lessons,
and trains too also have in the past had similar problems , particularly with snow, so with all the technological devices there are in the world , and since we can anticipate the weather mainly as a result of satellites , which give us accurate information, why is it that we always seem to be caught out, where by we should have anticipated, and made plans to cope with emergency situations, long before that, yet we still get caught out , so is it a question of saving money,.??
yet other European and western countries have coped and have managed very well, in being able to deal with the problems we seem to get and yet they manage very well, regardless, so why is it that over many years we still seem unable to learn from our weather conditions, and make plans to deal with it, in advance, and not get caught out,
Q; what are your thoughts on how best we should or could deal with future weather conditions,. for summer and winter,...............itll be interesting to read your replies,
