Climate change is a bigger problem than Brexit as 'it could literally kill us', the head of the Environment Agency warned yesterday.
Sir James Bevan said climate change was 'much more important' than Brexit and it was time to focus on tackling climate change.
Sir James, a career diplomat and former High Commissioner to India before becoming the chief executive of the Environment Agency in 2015, said the increase in greenhouse gases would lead to rising seas, water shortages extreme weather, flooding, coastal erosion and droughts'.
The Environment Agency, which has more than 11,000 employees, is the government funded body in charge of protecting air, water and soil quality, and flood protection.
Sir James said climate change would 'utterly' change our politics, adding 'as people demand action from their leaders on what may become the only issue that matters. Our world may become more dangerous, as conflict over water and other scarce resources escalate.'
He went on: 'That is why climate change is simply the biggest issue there is. It is the biggest threat out there to our economy, environment, health, way of life, our country, our world, and our future.'

Shut. It. Down.
This is the big ramp-up to the 2020 elections.
The democrats have nothing to run on- suddenly- it’s climate change again!
Global warming is something often chilly Britain should welcome.
oh look a dancing squirrel
Wow!!!
“the increase in greenhouse gases would lead to rising seas, water shortages extreme weather, flooding, coastal erosion and droughts”
We’ve got 5 of 6 already and have since before I was born in 1958.
The NWO pukes ramping up their Climate Change ruse by increasingly paying for more morons to protest
Where are the sea level rises?
“Climate change” politics is a con.
Then it's back to the Ministry of Silly Walks.
Oh Oh we’re all going to freeze to death because of global warming.
It’s amazing how many people are falling for this scam!!!
We have had all 6 for the last 200 years. The sea level has been steadily rising by a couple of mm a year for all the time we have been recording it.
A couple of times during recorded history, during the Roman optimum and the Medieval warm period, the temperatures were higher than at present (as far as we can reconstruct), and the world was more productive.
Neither one is important to me, so I could agree they are equally (un)important.
Where am I going to get dinner is a bigger concern than mythical ‘man’s gonna kill Planet Earth in Two Years’ fears.
Is there going to be a swinging singles love-in at the protest? Which bands are playing?
> It’s amazing how many people are falling for this scam!!! <
The really frightening thing is that all debate on this issue has been shut down. Forcefully.
You want to debate, say, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity? Well, go right ahead. Rent an auditorium at some college, and bring in experts. It will be a pleasant evening.
But you want to debate Climate Change? Better not! All hell will break loose. Violent protesters will be outside the auditorium. And violent protesters will be inside the auditorium.
It will not be a pleasant evening.
