Something to do with climate change ?

National emergency declared now - dread to think how some in this thread will react to this.

This country could do with decent sized pandemic to take our mind off Derek Brockway’s shenanigans:biggrin:

Didn’t you know that it’s all the weatherman’s fault? :hehe:

The weather men/women don't know what's happening today never mind days in advance.

Last week we had two days where the temperatures rose to around 31-32 degrees but for the rest of the time they have been in the 22-28 degree range and mostly sunny (but not always). Early next week they are forecast to rise to the mid 30’s for a couple of days but then fall back to around average for the time of year. Prior to this dry period it rained for about two weeks solid. All this isn't a heatwave, it is a normal British summertime. It is time that organisations like the BBC stopped trying to make up news to fill airtime and stop trying to frighten the population half to death.

It is not normal to have temperatures above 30C in the UK. And even if there was no heat wave real or perceived, there it still wouldn't stop the fact that the planet is heating up every year. The average high temperature for Cardiff in July is 21C by the way.

Five days out of a British summer with temperatures over 30 degrees is not a catastrophic heatwave, as a number of main media outlets have been declaring. It is quite common to have at least a few days over 30 degrees anyway, most years. How can you have an average high temperature anyway - doesn't make sense. Normal daily summer temperatures in the UK are in the 21-23 degrees range.

if it hits 40 degrees people will die. it seems like warning people to take precautions is the least they could be doing

Don't analyse it too much, they will use the national emergency to pass new legislation, since every problem needs a solution. It doesn't even need to be hot, as long as people perceive it to be a problem.

I get the feeling some don't realise the difference between 32 and 36 degrees, let alone 40.

I expect what will happen is that it will 'only' hit 38 and this thread will be bumped and the weather warnings dismissed as hyperbole.

I think it’s just units of measurement in general that a lot struggle with. Degrees, Miles Per Hour, Goals Scored v Goals Conceded, how good we are even though the league table tells us.

Maybe when a few sunburnt, shirtless, dehydrated, pissed up football fans collapse in the heat of the New Meadow, they may wish theyd taken the warnings seriously.

that's a very dramatic statement. Are you determined that they will or are you suggesting that if it only gets to 39 they won't?

The other alternative is that you know for a fact that they will and that is supernatural.

Add this to the mix too: Mechanism of cocaine-induced hyperthermia in humans

A red weather warning announcement is so easily ignored if you want to ignore it. Like so, so many things you'd think from the reaction of some people on here that the Government are coming round and waterboarding people door to door to make sure they stay cool

Surely you're not suggesting that the long queues for the toilet cubicles at half time will be for something other than having an Eartha?

Hot weather is very dangerous and it can kill. I slept in a cold water bath last night and I nearly drowned.

According to the UK Health Security Agency there were 1600 excess deaths as a direct consequence of last summer's heat wave - with temperatures a lot below what is expected in the next week. Saying people will die at 40 degrees is a near certainty. There will have been hundreds of heat-related deaths in the UK already this month.

It is the WEF back-up depopulation plan for Covid deniers. Organ has probably covered this with a YouTube clip somewhere.

I've just checked with my legal team and I think I'm OK.
However, they did say that I shouldn't say that some of them will be, others won't and some may even be queing so they can film themselves kicking the sh*t out of a faucet for their FaceTwit page.....allegedly.

The Met Office app on my phone says that the max temperature in Cardiff on Monday will be 30°C, but the BBC website says that it will be 37°C. How can there be so much difference in a 48-hour forecast?

Just waiting for the government to announce they're holding one of those 'COBRA' meetings just to add to the drama.

There's an interesting three-part documentary series starting on BBC 2 on Thursday (9pm). It's called Big Oil vs the World. It tells the story of a scientific research programme set up by Exxon back in the early-Eighties which revealed clear signs of climate change caused by fossil fuel usage.

This was the company's own, well-founded research and was carried out by their own scientists, but in response to the detailed reports, their high-powered executives and other major players in the gas and oil industry set about shaping the debate towards denial and funded an extensive campaign to block any action in order to protect their enormous profits.

I'm guessing a fruitcake like you probably knows better than the Exxon scientists, though.

I hope Tory John Hayes will be watching the documentary. I wonder how much he has trousered from the oil industry over the years.

You are very big on accusing other people of lying. How do you know that the information that you base your opinions on is not biased or lies. Or, as I suspect, are you a know all who always thinks that his opinion is correct.

Do you believe your opinion is always correct?

As for accusing people of lying, what I actually do is call you out when it's obvious you're bullshitting. Which is a reasonably frequent occurrence.

I'm not a fruitcake. Anyway, enjoy the documentary - if it's the BBC it must be true and factual.

But its not just the BBC though is it?

What do you hear/see when I say the below?

99% of scientists, including NASA say climate change is man made and is going to have devastating consequences to us.
