England is in danger of experiencing droughts within 20 years unless action is taken to combat the impact of the climate crisis on water availability, the public spending watchdog says. The National Audit Office (NAO), in a report published on Wednesday, says some parts of England, especially the south-east, are at risk of running out of water owing to decreased rainfall and a need to cut the amount taken from natural waterways.

Are these the same people who said 15-20 years ago that English children would no longer know what snow was?

In other news, England could face flooding problems in 20 years due to climate change. The only way to stop these impending disasters is to take more money from middle-class Americans and limit their freedom. Greta said so.

The Warmists are being crowded out of focus
"by recent events in the news".
They don't want you to forget
that they have spent 30 years building their "Big Lie".
They don't want to have to start all over.
Climate Change is like, so 2000's.

These same "we're running out of water" scams were being pushed 50 years. Looks like the leftists are having to dust off and reuse old and failed Alynsky tactics again. Kind of like here in America years ago when they were pushing the "we're running out of solid waste landfill capacity" narrative as false justification for forcing us into expensive and useless recycling.

They have had diminished rainfall for one year. 100 years of data does not show a change in average rainfall, the driest year on record was in the 1700’s. I see this bluff, and raise you two pints

And the U.K. could also be drowned in surging sea levels as the ice caps melt...
These hysteria people can't get their stories straight. One extreme to another. We're all going to drown and then die of thirst in the resulting desert!
So contemptible.

England is a country literally surrounded by water. Build desalinization plants along the coast and stop taking water from the rivers. Problem solved.

So "they" say the Misty Isles, up to their whiskers in rain, fog, and misc. precipitation, now could be dry in 20 years? While Israel, a desert surrounded on three sides by *more* desert, and on the 4th side by the salty Mediterranean, is now sprouting verdant fields and orchards all over the place,and exporting, profitably *exporting* water throughout the whole region?
Isn't it obvious? Britain needs more Jews.

I am really getting tired of headlines with the mealy-mouth word "could" in them.
There is no longer any news, we only get what "could" be.

The world will end by when, according to Al Gore? Oh yea...that date came and went. We ain't taking any actions, UK until the virus is cured and we have moved our manufacturing from China. I will never buy one more thing made in that rotten country! Bring you jobs home or sell your stuff in other countries. We don't want it and don't need it. Lousy quality anyway!!! Junk!!!

Not to worry, the rising sea levels will submerge the island so they'll be plenty wet.

In 20 years they could be fighting off a new Ice Age. Maybe in 20 years the ghosts of those rough Englishmen who conquered a quarter of the world will return and infuse enough young Englishmen to the point where they are hunting down progressives and putting their heads on pikes at river crossings. Just like the England of olde.
I guess the last century or so has bled Britain of sensible, tough, independent people. If you go by what is happening there today, it is hard to believe they had the world's biggest Empire for about 3 centuries.

Melting glaciers dripping into the ground does not raise the sea levels.

Yes, they "could". But the odds are greatly that they won't.
But, hey, isn't saying "could" just like saying it definitely will happen in lie-beral wet-dream land???
