Climate change for me.
All the starving people in the world, and no water, it will be 100 times worse, leading to wars over water.
All you over there in the UK you're in serious trouble. The UK is on the same latitude line as Alaska. If a big chunk of ice breaks off the Northern ice cap and disturbs the Gulf Stream Drift ocean current! you think your climate is bad now? Wait around for a while and you better stock up on long johns.
Good to see Biden has rejoined Paris climate accord.

Nah, we'll be OK. You must be aware of all this global warming we keep hearing about? I remember reading an article that recommended we all plant cactus type plants in our gardens as we are going to get arid, desert like weather. :shock:

Regarding the options, I think it will be all of them and on the same day. Probably Friday 13th. That, or a thoroughly miserable Monday.

Sorry - I know I shouldn’t be laughing - but this is one of the funniest polls I’ve read on here. Maybe it’s just me.
