„Extreme“ Hitze und Niederschlag werden in Großbritannien zum neuen Normalwert, sagt Met Office

‚extreme heat‘ being a summer in the 30c’s, wow so extreme and totally not just normal summer

but wait a minute I swear a couple of days ago the big issue was drought

make your minds up

edit: all you people need to look at the global climate graph of the last 10,000 years and 100,000 years and it’s clear the climate moves in almost a perfect cycle and we’re not in a particularly hot period.

If the climate emergency was an actual emergency, we’d all be going all in on solar and nuclear instead of pointless climate initiatives that anyone with a shred of common sense can see are never going to make the slightest bit of difference, and instead pins the blame on the average person.

Climate changes, absolutely. Mankind’s effect on it, highly highly debatatable. Destroying the economy in the name of saving the climate is not going to get us toward any technical solution any faster.

„The one thing constant about temperature is that it is never constant. We find it rising and falling no matter what time scale we observe, be it hundreds of years or tens of millions of years. This chart, showing the 10,000 years of temperature changes since the end of the last ice age confirms this truism. Here we see quite large temperature swings much greater than what has been observed in the last 150 or so years. Each one of those moves up or down were caused entirely by natural forces. **Those promoting the notion that man’s actions are the primary driver of recent temperature changes require that you believe that these natural forces suddenly and inexplicably ceased functioning at the beginning of the 20th century and that human emissions are now responsible.**“

Extreme weather of 30 degrees in July. Fuck. We need extreme measures like more beer gardens and more Pimm’s.

Yes – let’s keep recycling and lowering our carbon footprints while the rich fly around in private planes and old people swan around on cruise ships.

Failed crop harvests not just here in the UK but globally are increasing.

So are plant and animal deaths and extinctions (on an increasingly rapid scale).

All you morons proclaiming „but it’s just a bit sunny!“ – unseasonable differences in temperature or climate over a long period have serious consequences.

We no longer have a balanced four seasons, we essentially swing violently between Winter and Summer and when eventually it becomes too much for our food supply chains (due to climate enduced disease increases, these effects can and (in some cases are) leading to shortages.

I doubt many of you will be boasting about the glourious weather as the worst effects of climate change kick in.

If this carrys on things are going to get a hell of a lot worse.

Yep. More extreme weather cases that we will inevitably fail to prepare for.

r/collapse is coming faster than expected, don’t be one of those people who are wilfully ignorant to it, one of those who buries their head in the sand, don’t succumb to the bs being parroted that we can somehow magically solve it, or fix it in the future, it is this hubris and egotistical thinking that got us here in the first place.

But for the interests of balance, we’ll talk to Dr Oillie who has a competing study that we’re absolutely sure is impartial, despite it being funded by the fossil fuels industry

So now start building accommodation that is insulated and ventilated correctly to future proof new housing.

Yeah, but people pointing this out and even (shock) asking for action get nothing but death threats from your average Brit. So they deserve everything they get.

If you’re more upset about traffic being stopped than over 65s dying of heat stroke by the thousands, you’re part of the problem.
