| Initial analysis of the current heatwave 08:06 - Jun 26 with 15909 views | StokieBlue | Scientists have said that the current heatwave stretching across Europe would have been impossible in June without climate change and is also hitting hard as the weather is more humid than normal. "As recently as 2003, a heatwave like the current one in Europe would have been 2C cooler due to the lower level of global heating at the time. In 1976, another famous heatwave year, it would have been 3.5C cooler." "The sweltering night-time temperatures currently harming people’s sleep are about 100 times more likely today than in 2003." https://www.theguardian.com/en SB |  |

can't see it tbh. We had that really hot period 3 or 4 years ago where it was 36 plus. People don't want change unless it will work out cheaper for them, until electric cars get more reasonably priced the uptake will be limited, same with gas in the house, unless it's cheaper people won't start using alternatives. Im no expert though. When there's serious water droughts and limitations on what water can be used that will be a wake up call but it will be too late by then. |  | |  |

Logically, there has to be a point where actual survival of self and offspring comes to the top of the self interest pile. As you say, it will be too late by then. It's almost certainly too late now, but not quite certainly, so worth a try... |  |

Yet here I am sitting in my garden watching the wildlife go about his business and it’s lovely out. I can hear my neighbours in their gardens everyone seems happier on a beautiful sunny day. I’ve been on a mooch around the village green,and didn’t see one person running around screaming ‘the end is nigh’. |  |

A few people at 9 in the morning are okay with it being massively unseasonably sunny and warm therefore all is good. And you have your trademark tittersome water butts that are running dry and yet nothing joins those dots does it? I'm not sure who's looking more stupid, you for talking absolute bollox or me for attempting to apply critical thinking to it. |  | |  |
| Initial analysis of the current heatwave on 09:50 - Jun 26 with 4746 views | GlasgowBlue | I’ve said this before, Adopting a meat free diet saves approximately (0.8) to (2.1) tonnes of carbon emissions per person annually. If the entire global population of over 8 billion people made this shift, it would eliminate between (6.4) and (16.8) billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year* For context, avoiding one transatlantic flight saves roughly (1.6) tonnes of carbon, and living completely car-free saves about (2.4) tonnes per person each year.** Yet people continue to ignore the science and continue to eat the fresh of dead animals because it tastes nice. I wonder how many people who claim to be concerned about climate change refuse to make such a simple sacrifice of changing what they put in their mouths? *UCL University College London **Lund University |  |

Or owning a dog which is also estimated around 0.9 tonnes of CO2 per annum. I’ll just stay pet free and eat fillet steak instead of buying pedigree chum :-). |  | |  |

Does this factor in what would happen to all the dead animals which we currently consume? |  |

It's definitely that thing which was mentioned the other day. If it goes unchecked and unchallenged it feels like it is vaguely valid on some level and out there for others to think it is on some level an equal opinion. I know I shouldn't respond, and I'm cutting back, but it's just such butter horseshit that it almost needs an asterix to avoid any doubt of being valid or acceptable. |  | |  |

As are most people I know. Sadly their children won’t be so happy once we have gone beyond tipping point. And their children’s children may not have a world that is habitual for them if we ignore the science Benters. |  |

Wildlife is suffering though……as are a fair chunk of the indigenous flora. You must walk around with your eyes closed. |  |

It's very, very quiet.

Historically, it always has been. The post-War era of cheap and plentiful meat (at the cost of intensive farming and carbon-burning long distance refrigerated transport) is really an outlier. Similarly the impact of eating out-of-season fruit and vegetables grown in Africa or South America. Massive carbon footprint. |  |
