Anyone living in a flood plane will have had to have made changes or not be insured.
Flash flooding is getting worse in the UK, partly because of climate change (look at how wet February was for south east UK) but also because a lot of urban areas are being paved over.
but to a throw away comment:
> installing heat pumps can be difficult
Yes, yes they can be, but also they also are not the cheapest way to save carbon.
Insulation makes a much bigger impact, that includes external wall insulation, and better glazing. its up to 2x cheaper.
- graemep 3y agoThere is crazy housebuilding and development in the UK. An entire housing estate was built where I used to live on land that is known to flood. They built pumps to offset it. Nonetheless, very few places are affected with a decade. The vast majority of people live in places that will not be badly enough to need rebuilding any time soon. I am hoping that this is a UK problem and the rest of the world is mostly not as crazy. Not that I have high hopes of that. > Yes, yes they can be, but also they also are not the cheapest way to save carbon. Cost effective solutions are not profitable, so are not backed by lobbying and marketing.
