@LordWoolamaloo I absolutely agree but you may notice I use #English frequently as IMO it's the fecking stoopids inlittle #engerland who are responsible for much of the shite floating around the #BritishIsles which (according to your politics) you may equate with the #UK 👍 💖 🇪🇺 #ForeverEUropean

✧ geography of Ireland ✧

The geography of Ireland, an island in Northern Europe, features low central plains surrounded by coastal mountains. Ireland's western coastline is rugged, with many islands, peninsulas, headlands and bays, while the southern and northern coasts feature a number of sea inlets, such as Lough Foyle and Cork...

...#Caribbean is not cooled by it anymore, and the #BritishIsles will not be warmed anymore.
In contrast to that phenomenon, current events of #OceanWarming 1) show, IMO, that at least one "tipping point" has already been passed that will affect glaciers.

Last but not least, all past global-warming models have erred on the "high side."
That said, why is humanity doomed:

Day 18:

I've always been interested in the history of the #BritishIsles. Today, I'm recommending a historical novel, the first of #TheSaxonStories, #TheLastKingdom.

It is set at the end of the 9th century and follows the rise + reign of #KingÆlfredTheGreat of the West + then the #AngloSaxons.

I can understand why so many Irish use "these islands" rather than "the British Isles".

Perhaps the UK and Irish governments could agree on a new geographical designation.

My suggestion: Islands of the North Atlantic.

I'm sure some pedants would object that some of these islands are not really in the Atlantic, but I think we could live with that.

I'm also sure Jacob Rees Mogg, the Daily Mail, and GB News would denounce such a change. In my book, that's all the more reason to go ahead.

I can imagine a ceremony taking place to celebrate the new name taking place on the island of IONA...

Now should be the time to undo the work of #AlfredTheGreat.
Time to catch up: a defensive union of the #Saxon kingdoms is no longer needed: there are no raids by #Highlanders, the #Irish, the #Vikings anymore and there is no #Danelaw.
However, there's #NATO + the #EuropeanUnion.

1,137 years after #Ælfred became King of the #AngloSaxons , it's time for a paradigm shift. It is time for the #RegionsOfEurope 2.0, in particular for the #BritishIsles:
