      Geo engineering is, at best a marginal effect and will have very little influence. There a few attempts made but the scale is very small and the only place you will detect large effects are on untrue conspiracy theory sites. Most non-expert opinion comes from people with no concept of the amount of energy in a global weather system or how puny and ineffective our efforts to influence them are. The one thing that makes sense is that as CO2 traps heat in the atmosphere, the extra energy being provided by the Sun. This will lead to an increase in the energy of weather systems but don't kid yourself that some great plot is going on to manipulate the weather by some governmental agency.

      @@ferkle1980 With the creation of the Environment Agency in 1997 and when we adopted the European Water Framework Directive in 2000. No longer were the authorities charged with a duty to prevent flooding. Instead, the emphasis shifted, in an astonishing reversal of policy, to a primary obligation to achieve ‘good ecological status’ for our national rivers. This is defined as being as close as possible to ‘undisturbed natural conditions’.
      ‘Heavily modified waters’, which include rivers dredged or embanked to prevent flooding, cannot, by definition, ever satisfy the terms of the directive.
      So, in order to comply with the obligations imposed on us by the EU we had to stop dredging and embanking and allow rivers to ‘re-connect with their floodplains’, as the currently fashionable jargon has it. hope that gives you a hint 😄

    I cannot see Canals and river trust paying for this, this isn't your average maintenance job, this looks like a massive headache.
    Having worked on the canals doing tree's, I understand as a nation, we couldn't undertake this level of engineering across this country like it was done, it needs to be maintained and enjoyed, and put to work.
    We're too busy arguing these day's to be able to undertake such an engineering marvel like our ancestors did.
    Too many finger wagers today, that love to say cant.
    Get it fixed, in the future the canals will be a valuable asset once again.
