I really want to start a thread about exterior solid wall insulation, which will include the politics and practicalities of applying external insulation to the 8 million solid wall homes in the UK at around £10,000 each, and without which abolishing gas boilers is going to be very difficult. I don’t think that the Science forum, Suburban, or UK Politics have sufficient scope for this, so I’m holding off until the new forum.

As it's such a major threat, it makes sense to create a new forum for it - rather than shove it in one of the existing ones. As said earlier, it does touch on multiple areas, but doesn't naturally sit in a given silo, so a specific climate change subforum is the best way to deal with this.

We should take a pink boat round to the editor’s gaff and chain ourselves to it.

Sorry I've got a lot of stuff on right now and creating the forum and moving the posts about will take some time. I'll do it when I get chance, after I get around to the Brexit forum which was also voted for.
It's not like the topic is going to go out of date any time soon!
Edit: if you want to help, maybe you could compile a list of threads that should be moved to the new forum?

There IS a problem with global warming... it stopped in 1998
For many years now, human-caused climate change has been viewed as a large and urgent problem. In truth, however, the biggest part of the problem is neither environmental nor scientific, but a self-created political fiasco. Consider the simple fact, drawn from the official temperature records of...

Burma cyclone : How can we tell if climate change created it or made it worse?
Bit of an open ended science question to start with. I do know that warmer temperatures makes for faster windspeeds etc. But If 100000 plus dead people IS the product of climate change, how many more must die before all of us stop wibbling and start to change the way we live?

IME it's easy for forums to bloat. Then with all the atomised little subforums, it can start to look half dead, with fewer posts/sub-forum overall. Which has a kinda self-fulfilling deadening effect (nobody wants to hang around a dead space). But then good luck getting everyone to agree to merge all the half-dead subforums back together.
