England’s first ever red warning for extreme heat on Monday and Tuesday.

[xsnaggle]

Christ you were typing this fast and angry.

Nno, just typing and working at the same time. It isn't really important. What is important that I get the work info I'm chasing so I can go home shower and go for a beer so i don't dehydrate in this terrible heatwave.

This could be the new covid thread I reckon with experts popping up all over the place……

I think the difference is one side is listening to scientists, the other side isn't.

That’s what the Covid thread was like at the start, plenty of experts (in their heads at least) telling the real experts why they were wrong.

[The Bloop]

Dear me, tempers are getting a little frayed today. It must be the heat getting to people 🙂

The heat --- the heat--- I blame the government, why didn't they warn us?

Oh hang on...........

You act like all experts agreed with each other. Plot spoiler, they didn't. Same with climate change.

Read what I said, back in March 2020 there were plenty of Covid deniers, people who told us it was just like the flu etc. etc on here, which was in complete contradiction to what “the science” was telling us about the pandemic. In the weeks that followed they were proved hopelessly wrong and a couple of the boards more prominent “independent, critical thinkers” had to take a year off to lick their wounds.

Also, you’re right about global warming, but I’ll always be prepared to accept a majority opinion of this size.

You've made this up, you're just lying.

BBC says 35 for us on Monday, Met Office says 30. So probably just a typically hot summer's day.[unless you're the BBC]

As an example, Jeremy Corbyn 's brother is a meteorologist and rejects the notion of man made climate change.

The clue is 'man-made'. Who knows ? If it rains, its CC. If it snows, it's CC. If it's hot or cold, it's CC. If it's Windy it's CC. They used to bang on about the 'hole in the ozone layer'. Remember that ? Then it vanished and they had to find something else to get stressed out about.

the case for it being man made is compelling. I don't think you can have properly understood it.

Well all that I will say is that for the last few weeks most media outlets (including BBC and ITV) have been banging on about how we are in the middle of a catastrophic heatwave and how we are all doomed due to climate change. 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.

I hope this is all you will say 😆

Rained solid for a 2 week stretch ?

When was that then ?

The temperatures set to be experienced this weekend and into next .......are very extreme for southern Europe.......and for us ?

Well hopefully you will keep to your promise

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.

You don't know how averages work?

Also, it's going to be catastrophic for someone. I guarantee it.

This Piers Corbyn? The one taking money from a fake lobbyist around covid vaccinations?

Yes, he's trained in a related field. What are your credentials then?

[Lither_1927]

the earth has been a lot hotter, but never while supporting a population of billions of humans

It supported complex life while a lot hotter. We wouldn't die out. If you're issue is over population then aim your fire at the continent of Africa that's where most of the growth is happening, even though their carbon footprint is lower for now. Doubt a leftie would dscuss this issue though

it's fine because we wouldn't go extinct is a hell of a take
