That’s ok, Reform say carbon dioxide is fine and we should have 3 times more in the atmosphere. So I’m sure they are right.

Fire up the barbecue, it’s going to be a good one.

I’ve seen enough, tax the little people more. This is a climate crisis /s

It’s my fault, I forgot to put the recycling bin out.

I remember summer 2022 when it got to 40°C.
Fuck that.
We just don’t have the infrastructure for that kind of heat.

Gawd this is scary. I staunchly remember that summer of 40c it was wild, I’d never experienced anything here like it – was so bizarre.

I’d take just a normal summer thanks, lucky if the weather gets above 23

Be on the lookout for dreadful lizard people basking in the sun with a smirk on their faces…

I reckon it has something to do with immigrants. They probably brought the sun over when they came to take our jobs /s

How many threads are we going to have about this today? Any other topic and they’d be removed as duplicates.

There is no Planet B. We should be greatly accelerating reforestation programmes in this country, cleaning up our rivers, lakes and seas, restoring other threatened habitats like wildflower meadows and temperate rainforests, etc.
We should also stop mowing grass relentlessly. Insects live there.

20 times more likely than what though? What’s the current chance of a 40 degree summer?

Shitty headline blasting relative risk instead of absolute risk.
It doesn’t take away from the fact warming temperatures are an issue we will need to address; however, there is a reason why serious code of conducts frown upon use of relative risk as a communication tool with the general public. It is fear inducing and it preys on poor scientific literacy in the hopes of making a more shocking headline.
Shame of them, as we’ve all seen the damaging consequences of climate fear mongering to progressing the climate agenda and discussion in a constructive way.

Yeah I remember closing our restaurant because it’s was just unsafe for staff. Met by a huge positive wave of support from customers. However it that becomes more frequent I’m not sure people’s patience would last

I’ll never understand why people want to see more of these kinds of temperatures.
Are they cold blooded or something

I bought a free standing AC unit *and* backup AC during COVID.
I’m so, so glad I made that investment. It’s sublime. The entirety of the unbearable summer heat last year totally passed me by. I really recommend them.

I swear that like every Yr the majority of the UK forget we have somewhat consistent hot summers every Yr.

We currently create <1% of the world’s greenhouse gasses.. china 26%… let’s blow billions on cutting back our footprint. Waste of money, time and energy.. unless you’re a politician who can find a way to profit.. country is fucked.

40C here is absolutely disgusting. It’s not nice heat.
When I lived in Australia it’s not exactly unusual to have heat like that but way more tolerable than the same heat here.

It’s okay it’s part of the British culture to force ourselves to endure intolerable conditions as pat of our “stiff upper lip” complexes. Grin and bear it boys! Ohh great 40 degree sunshine! Lovely! Just like being back in Spain! Uuuh fire up the barbi!
Lovely bit of heat!
Meanwhile autumn is just gone, spring is a footnote.

If you vote for a party that denies this kind of thing is an issue then you’re a piece of shit and quite frankly I should be regarded as a terrorist

Bro this shit is so bad at 30° I’m melting meanwhile in Romania I was playing football at 35° the humidity is crazy

And people will be loving it until they realize that such hot temps here aren’t normal and not really comfortable doing your day to day job when you are passing out on day 4 of the heatwave.

I don’t want to deal with it. I can’t deal with that kind of heat again. I really had a hard time keeping my mother alive though that. I don’t know how I’ll keep myself alive though that.
