1976 Drought

[A Quiet Monkfish]

1976.

Driving around in a Mk 3 Cortina, 4 windows down, ashtray overflowing with cigarette butts, not a bottle of water in sight. Weekends down the Knap [if couldn't be bothered to drive any further], lying in the sun with my factor 4 - factor 6 was for wimps.

Living on the edge!

atmospheric carbon was around 330 ppm in 1976, today it's about 420 ppm I think. that is a significant change.

So if the UK would have been carbon neutral in 1976 you saying it wouldn’t be this hot in 2022?

if the world had been carbon neutral in 1976 then presumably yes

Yeah that’s what I think as well, I also think that by 2076 the world still won’t reach that target.
