Obvious bullshit is obvious:

In central European countries like Slovakia the railway network is regularly exposed to summer temperatures of 40C and winter temperatures of -15C. Indeed it'll hit 40C there later this week. They don't rip up all the rails and lay down winter versions once per year. 

It's almost as if Eastern Bloc countries whose national infrastructure was built by state planning is more logical and resilient than crap designed to the lowest price point in a private market.

I see (K)GB News had world renowned climate expert, Jim McDonald from Coronation Street, on last night to discuss how ridiculous these climate warnings were. Fast forward 24hrs and London is literally burning live on the telly.

Don't worry they will soon change the narrative to batter the firefighters for not issuing a groveling thanks for accepting a 2% pay rise.

The Welsh, English and Scottish records were all pretty much shattered. Even with climate change it might be a couple of decades before these records are broken. This was probably much rarer than the 1 in 10 year type event that sets a record with an underlying trend of 0.2C per decade (that is globally, higher latitudes like us are warming faster).

The 2003 record stood till 2019, so its not really a big reach to suggest that it could take more than a decade to break. 

Two big caveats, one being a rearranging of atmospheric circulation bringing warmer southerly air masses here more frequently, the other being a big shift in Arctic sea ice seeing high latitude northern hemisphere summer temperatures jump.

Countries across Europe broke temperature records in June - with an unprecedented 32.5C (90.5F) reported in the Arctic Circle.

Norway's Meteorological Institute has warned the high temperatures are a clear signal of climate change.

In Banak, where this new record was broken, average temperatures for June typically stand at 13C (55F).

I hereby issue a formal apology to the Met Office.

This was my favourite :rolleyes:

Met Office now claiming that Wales has “provisionally” broken its record, by 0.1 of a degree. This previous record was set in 1990. 

So 2 very hot days at the height of summer, 32 years apart. How terrifying. 

Must have been the “hole in the Ozone layer” causing it back then and then everyone getting new fridges and changing their deodorant has held back the tide.

I see we've switched gear smoothly from claiming there will be no records broken today and the Met Office have embarrassed themselves by predicting it straight to the fact that there has been a record broken today is irrelevent and the Met Office have embarrassed themselves by pointing it out.

Those scenes of the streets burning in the South of England are absolutely horrific.


They better get used to it. This is going to become the “new normal” - except with this it definitely will be unless we take truly drastic action to address man-made climate change. More frequent heatwaves and dangerous temperatures, more fires, water scarcity, crop failure, more extreme weather events ie flooding. Countries closer to the equator will become uninhabitable and as people start to die we will see mass migration. Oh yeah, the polar ice melt with raise sea levels as well which will devastate coastal cities worldwide. Covid, the war in Ukraine, everything else is a complete irrelevance compared to this - it is the single biggest crisis facing humanity. It’s a slow burner, which is perhaps why there’s still so many people in denial. Unlike covid where all of a sudden we entered lockdown and that was that, this will drag on and on. By the time any meaningful action is taken (the point where the powers to be decide “oh shit we need to do something”) I believe it will be too late.

Has meaningful action not been taken, with more meaningful action planned?
