Bpb, you're not down playing the facts though, or adding enough balance for Jimbo's liking. That obviously means that you're biased, have a one tracked mind and you let your prejudices get in the way of decent debate. Even though what you stated actually happened, it's fact. You need to sort yourself out

Yes, but Lither also said this: My bet is that it won't be anywhere near as hot as predicted. and for the most part he's correct.
People don't have to be so fundementalist about it.
It's a record temperature, very likely caused by man made climate change, but the heatwave hasn't proven quite as severe as thought the other day.
All three of these things can be true.
You don't build faith in the science by ignoring that it got a prediction slightly wrong in this case. You build faith in it, by acknowledging that whilst still stressing the bigger issue, which is what I'm arguing.
This stuff matters. I was really worried about my house bound father the last couple of days. Where he lives, a temperature of 36c was predicted today. It is currently 25c.
It doesn't change the bigger picture, but they got the ferocity of it all a little wrong there. On other occasions they may underestimate the temperature, which also happens.

Because I don't see the point in being an absolute fundamentalist over the accuracy of the forecast for Sheffield.
I had a quick look on twitter and found this. Is this deemed acceptably accurate?
Tomorrow: Very hot and sunny day for most areas. W areas will see cloud building through the afternoon with outbreaks of rain in places, which will be heavy and thundery at times. pic.twitter.com/S7LtdPLdUa

If you hadn't been speeding you wouldn't have had to be slowing down !
It's for the best. Jim is very nuanced, fair minded, doesn't take sides etc......
Depends, look at stornoway, that brings the average right down, and The Falklands is British territory, but nobody mentions them when they're working these things out. You also need to be more balanced, like Jim.
Yes, but also:
On sunday the BBC predicted 40c for London and 42c for Sheffield yesterday
https://twitter.com/ben_rich/status/1548761133795926017
It actually was 37c and 36c respectively.
Very hot. Almost certainly caused by man made climate change. Not quite as hot as predicted.
All true.
My uncle was off fishing in Stornoway today. Didn't take his jumper as he saw it was 17. Well bugger me, it didn't even get past 15 and he was out there for 10 hours.
Tamping he was, tamping.
So it's a problem that 40 was forecast for Monday, but it was actually 40 on Tuesday, and everyone who thinks "why is this guy James making such a massive deal about it" is a fundamentalist. Got it.
Well, just because we couldn't afford private school education, you shouldn't hold it against us. And.... you shouldn't keep losing your temper. You know what it's a sign of..
Do you ever get tired of being like this? You literally are adding nothing to this.Exactly. Thats my point. But others were saying anyone is wrong for saying they thought the reality wouldnt hit the predictions made the other day
No, it was predicted to be fking hot..it is fking hot, but not quite as fking or quite as widespread as predicted.
As mentioned, I was concerned for my dad when we were looking at 36c today, it's actually the mid 20's there. It was baking yesterday, but not as hot today. That happens. Sometimes it goes the other way and they underestimate. It doesn't change the bigger picture.
That’ll teach those climate change fools
Well what I'm saying is correct to be fair, but yes it is tiring, so I'll give up now, especially as it's so hot (but not quite as hot as was predicted) ;)
Thank God there wasn't a ccmb with you posting on it in 1987 when Michael Fish said there was no hurricane coming...
but then the climate change accepters have won
keep up the good fight
What does this even mean ffsbut then the climate change accepters have won
keep up the good fight
Do you not believe in climate change? Why are all the dorks who voted for brexit like this
Don't bring Michael Fish into this
It’s more wrong and pedantic tbf. The temperature reached record highs in the U.K.
I can tell you're all excited at what you think is going on, but James is also a "climate change accepter"but then the climate change accepters have won
keep up the good fight
Remember that World Cup Semi Final from 2014, Brazil 1 Germany 7? What we’re seeing this afternoon is the equivalent of someone claiming Brazil won actually because they had more throw ins
Climate change accepter ffs
Yes, I fully believe in man made climate change.
It just so happens that the predictions for this heatwave weren't quite as bad or widespread as predicted, and for some reason largely unknown to us all, on this very hot day I seem to have chosen this hill to die upon.
I am unsure as to why, but you are all very annoying and I'm overheated and all of you stink
