Just a bit puzzled about quite how climate change us wrecking roads in any widespread way.....

I smell ignorant journo hype again.

The rubbish end of the media is full of it.

Yes. I looked up the article. It references melting tarmac and repeated freeze thaw cycles. Tarmac melted every summer in my childhood in the early 1950s. I remember playing with melted tar with a lollly stick. Quite how freezing in winter is laid at the door of a warming climate, i don't understand. Shameful rubbish.

Mainly political climate change meaning the potholes aren't being properly fixed. Central government effectively cutting the budgets of local governments while landing them with more and more responsibilities.

Distractions to mislead people from thinking about where the money is really going. How many officials and poly-tic-shuns are living above their means.
Wouldn't be hard to "detect", if there was any real "investigation" done?

Sinkhole swallowing up Surrey street as major incident declared



"the addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and global warming increase the dissolution of bedrock, thus increasing the intensity and frequency of sinkhole collapse."

It's simple. Instead of spending money on repairing the roads, they use the money to propagate their climate change doctrine.

The size of some if these potholes is dirikulous! :)
My BBS01B folding bike conversion created a bow wave through deeper and longer than that. Despite the motor being completely submerged for over 13 seconds, with no ill effects, because of the extensive waterproofing I'd applied.
