> the idea that crops would fail from climate change

There was a massive drought in England about 10 years back, where farmers had to change the types of crops back then to accommodate for the drought, which was then proceeded by a large flooding. Why would say this time is different from 2012? Especially given that there had been talks (and sometimes actual) hosepipe ban every single year since.

There are records from 2012 and 2003. even 1962 (60 years referenced)

From the title "worst drought on record"

Great, I am not talking about France though, I am talking about England. Unless England now is part of France, which last time I checked, is definitely not the case!
