Is there anyone left who thinks we haven't completely fked our future?
If so, I'll have some of what you're on. |  |

Yes. Donald Trump.
I'm not sure you want whatever he's on though. |
I don't want to defend Trump, for obvious reasons. But he doesn't deny climate change he just says it's not man made, which lets him do whatever the hell he wants. [Post edited 26 May 23:49]

Doesn't really matter what the likes of you or for that matter me think, There's simply way too many companies, organisations and so called powerful individuals ( pygmies really ), and of course members of the general public world wide, who really don't care, don't want to take any personal responsibility and take the attitude that " It's not my/our problem " we'll leave it to others, notably the next generation. They're the type that point out one day 50 years ago record temperatures were recorded then. I'm probably too old now to see the real damage this is all going to do, but alas I am of the generation that has caused much of it. |  | | |

Not just about temperature either, though that is pretty scary, we've barely had any rain for about 3 months (same as last year) and as well as being annoying for gardeners it will be a huge problem for farmers. |
Two really bad years in a row - my dad reckons last year was his worst-ever harvest, and this year could be even worse. |  | | |

It’s hot but it’s not a heatwave like it was in the summer of 1976.That was a beautiful summer.
As for our future and ruining it,well I suggest people look on Flight Radar and see the amount of aircraft there are in the air.People run around screaming about global warming and the next minute are jetting off for a holiday.
It doesn’t make sense to me. |  |

There certainly seem to be fewer dissenting voices now; many of those who aggressively denied the situation the human race has put itself in just seem to keep quiet now, which I can understand and sympathise with - it's very frightening.
Those who are still in denial - do you think at all about the catastrophic consequences to the evolved and delicately balanced life support systems which you and the rest of the human race, present and future, depends on? Or is it just "I knew a day that was hotter than today before so there can't be any problem"? Or do you just not care?
It might be pointless fighting now, but it seems to me better than a limp surrender or living with such a closed mind despite the fact that deep down you know the truth. | |

Tho stilk nearly a month before the time the 1976 heatwave started, we are only just below the peak temperature for that year. |  |

Living in Ipswich most of my 53 years
We used to get snow, now we get it once a year.
So that tells me the temperature in Suffolk has gone up at least 2c
Plus most of Suffolk and Norfolk is falling into the sea.
So yeah, I agree |
When I did A-level geography 50 odd years ago, we were told that two factors contributed to the erosion of the Suffolk coast, the second of which is the main one.
1. A rebalancing following the weight of ice over the UK during the ice age which meant that the east coast was every so slightly sinking.
2. The crumbly composition of the cliffs etc along the coast.
Of course, if sea levels are rising over time, this may play a part too but it mustn't be forgotten that Dunwich, a sizeable medieval town with numerous churches, disappeared into the sea centuries ago. |  | | |

Was just going by the BBC.
‘Before Monday and Tuesday's record-breaking highs, May's warmest day in the UK was 32.8C in 1922 and 1944’
Was it global warming back then or just, weather? |
So do you deny that on average temperatures are rising? Drawing conclusions from 2 random data points is a terrible way to assess this, you must realise that | | | |

Why don't you counter it with your own scientifically backed points?
I'm sure you've done your research.

It would be fascinating to discuss with you your groundbreaking scientific processes, your data and how you reached this conclusion - to understand the brilliant mind that proved the whole world wrong, and all the conventionally gathered data flawed. We are truly blessed. | |

It seems a lot of what is going on is due to the jet stream which is affected by temperature rises in the Arctic.
https://livetoplant.com/how-cl
"Arctic amplification has far-reaching effects on atmospheric circulation patterns. As the Arctic warms more rapidly than lower latitudes:
1. The temperature contrast between polar air masses and mid-latitude air masses decreases.
2. This reduces the pressure gradient that drives jet stream winds.
3. Consequently, the jet stream slows down or becomes more “wavy,” with larger north-south excursions called Rossby waves.
A slower jet stream means that weather systems tend to move more slowly across continents. This can lead to prolonged periods of particular weather conditions such as heatwaves, cold spells, droughts, or heavy rainfall — all of which have been increasingly observed in recent years." | | | |

Rimsy says there's no such thing as the Arctic, so this is bs. | |

Yep. Hard not to notice that weather patterns just sit in place longer. |  |

Indeed. It's basic physics. The atmosphere has bands of convection circulations driven by temperature differences between the poles and equator. Mess with those temperatures (e.g. by removing ice) and the circulation will be affected. | |

The '76 heatwave gets pushed out a lot. It was definitely a heatwave and last longer than this one (so far). But, like many things, memory has made it something it wasn't entirely.
'76 was a blip and, at the time, only really affected the UK, now we get '76-like summers or hotter every year, and they affect the whole of Europe or more.
Valid point about air travel though. Far too many people don't care about that at all. | | | |

Everyone moans in winter, finally gets nice and warm and everyone moans again. People should enjoy life more and as you say, pour a cold one. | | | |

Hard to believe we are living in a cost of living crisis, fuelled by two wars, and one of the main costs is fossil fuels and we still live in a space where people aren't advocating for renewables.
And then we seem to also be ignoring all signs of the climate emergency despite having hottest days on record consistently, with basically no rain and crops of all sorts being affected, and then also fuelling the cost of living.
And yet we have a vocal amount of people saying to pack in both. Baffling. |  |

Define “we”!
India and China building dozens of coal-fired power stations each year, and the UK emits less than 1% of carbon output globally. There is a bigger picture, and I’m not convinced that me using a paper straw rather than a plastic one will help save the human race. | |

The internet was full of the 'triggered' ones the last few days. Worryingly some of them very well educated PHd's too.
The coal lobbyists and grifters obviously got the message from HQ...
