Leaking Gutters? Blame Climate Change
APRIL 21, 2024
By Paul Homewood

It has now become the norm for our faceless bureaucrats to waste money by blaming climate change:
A court building which dates back centuries is to undergo renovations, with officials saying the work is needed because of climate change.
West Norfolk Council has given the Ministry of Justice planning permission to install new gutters and downpipes on the Crown Court on St Margaret’s Place, in King’s Lynn.
A design and heritage statement said: "It has become clear that as rainfall generally and locally has increased over time as the climate has changed and warmed, there are more frequent occasions on the site where existing rainwater gutters are overwhelmed.
"This has led to more frequent soaking of the brickwork walls and now that the mortar joints have been repaired and repointed there is a desire to prevent the gutters being overwhelmed and diminishing the impact of the investment in wall repairs."
