‘extreme heat’ being a summer in the 30c’s, wow so extreme and totally not just normal summer
but wait a minute I swear a couple of days ago the big issue was drought
make your minds up
edit: all you people need to look at the global climate graph of the last 10,000 years and 100,000 years and it’s clear the climate moves in almost a perfect cycle and we’re not in a particularly hot period.
If the climate emergency was an actual emergency, we’d all be going all in on solar and nuclear instead of pointless climate initiatives that anyone with a shred of common sense can see are never going to make the slightest bit of difference, and instead pins the blame on the average person.
Climate changes, absolutely. Mankind’s effect on it, highly highly debatatable. Destroying the economy in the name of saving the climate is not going to get us toward any technical solution any faster.
Not like the Met Office has had climate prediction data for years and years which showed this, if only there were people in the media who aren’t having brown envelopes from the oil firms…
Extreme weather of 30 degrees in July. Fuck. We need extreme measures like more beer gardens and more Pimm’s.
Be it man made or natural, the climate is changing and we have to adapt to that change if humanity is going to continue to be a success.
Yes – let’s keep recycling and lowering our carbon footprints while the rich fly around in private planes and old people swan around on cruise ships.
Back in the 1990s I remember a TV documentary warning about climate change causing more extreme weather in the UK – this isn’t really new.
The real danger is that there are more extremes and that it’s more unpredicatable, as it makes it difficult for the likes of farmers to plan for. They plant crops based on the previous year’s weather only to find it’s completely different this year.
Failed crop harvests not just here in the UK but globally are increasing.
So are plant and animal deaths and extinctions (on an increasingly rapid scale).
All you morons proclaiming “but it’s just a bit sunny!” – unseasonable differences in temperature or climate over a long period have serious consequences.
We no longer have a balanced four seasons, we essentially swing violently between Winter and Summer and when eventually it becomes too much for our food supply chains (due to climate enduced disease increases, these effects can and (in some cases are) leading to shortages.
I doubt many of you will be boasting about the glourious weather as the worst effects of climate change kick in.
Already got climate change deniers going “sounds like a good day!!!!”.
The hotter it gets, the more droughts we’ll have. We’ll have more threats to our water, more wildfires, more favourable conditions for various diseases to spread, more crops that fail and can’t be grown and less food. And droughts lead to worse floods. Tons of important animals will die off as well.
People die from excess heat as well, and the UK generally isn’t built for consistently high temperatures. It’s not a “good day”, it’s a disaster long term, and climate change denial is an extremely dangerous ideology
If this carrys on things are going to get a hell of a lot worse.
If only we’d know about this risk of this happening 40 years ago, we could have done something about it. Oh wait…
