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."

Furthermore GB, I've just taken the pork off the shopping order for this week and permanently off the favourites list too, and that's all thanks to you today. |
Well done mate. You won't regret it. |  |

I wonder if this is the year when there might be a socio-political tipping point where world government and populace will be hit so hard that we actually face up to and act upon the frightening reality that climate change isn't just some abstract "somewhere else, in the future" problem.
This is still only June, El Niño is absolutely raging, brace yourselves!

It will take wildfires, on the scale of those seen in Australia and California, in major Republican voting US States to move the dial there.
Having said that, in Alberta, Canada, which is the "drill, baby, drill" Province, there, Jasper, the Northern hub town of the Banff and Jasper National Parks (think "The Lake District, Glencoe and Snowdonia added together for the symbolic and emotional resonance with Canadians) was completely devastated by fire in 2024, and yet the Province continues to be dominated by politicians who want more drilling and support the huge Trans-Canada pipeline at any environmental cost.
https://www.bbc.com/news/artic
As the Liberal Government led National Parliament has stalled the pipeline, now the Conservatives in Albert'a, funded by the oil industry, are pushing for Independence, which ultimately could give Trump his 51st State:

Even if the Referendum fails, the over-riding message is "Don't you dare stop us drilling!" And concessions are likely on that front in order for "Remain in Canada" to win the Referendum. |  | | |

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?

It's all very well lecturing people now that you've made the switch. You run a business, which I'll guess isn't carbon neutral. Having a child adds a UK estimate of about 5 tonnes CO₂/year. You have 3 if I remember rightly.
Some of us have no kids, barely use cars, don't run business premises and don't fly anywhere, so I think it's a bit churlish to admonish others when their choices probably create less CO₂ than you do.
You could probably look at any life and point a finger where they could be doing more. The truth is none of us are perfect. |  |

none of us are perfect, which means that all of us can improve.
it's fine to raise suggestions which may change behaviour in a positive way | |

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. |
Who would have think it.
50 years ago there was me riding around on my Raleigh Chopper enjoying 6 weeks of wall to wall sunshine.
Fast forward 50 years and we are being told by experts we are all going to die due to high temperatures.
Still the Benters Carnival kicks off at 5. |  |

The laughable thing about this is that it's talked about like it was the norm.
The fact that everyone of a certain age can remember that year in particular, kinda tells the whole story. |  |

Yes, although the key problem then I think is then that the great god 'Profit' dictates that those cattle have to produce a maximum RoI and therefore instead of being a sustainable herd, have be crammed in and fed with imported foodstuff from the cheapest source possible halfway around the world.
Capitalism has killed us. |
Organic and sustainable sources are also available.
Think it’s unfair to taint European farmers who adhere to some of the most stringent farming regulations in the world. Are you aware of the improvement to both wild and agricultural land in post-communist Eastern Europe? Collective farming and chemicals that were banned in the west left untold damage, and is now far cleaner and more productive. Wildlife too has recovered, from their not-for profit ideology.
It’s almost like there is a common denominator…humans. | | | |

Why on earth some of you take him seriously I don't know. You perfectly correctly called him "a professional windup merchant". Yes, he is, he just goes round puncturing balloons. Makes me laugh.
Thing is, when it's done by those to left of centre politically, it's called 'bantz' & gets uppies (or at least is ignored/tolerated as maybe a silly joke). When it's from a political right-winger, it garners insults & opprobrium from multiple people. As for insults about his butts, to me his long-standing dedication to conserving water shows an excellent awareness of environmental matters, as does his gardening work & knowledge. |  |

a conspiracy theorist climate change denier has zero awareness of critical environmental matters!

No chance, first you'd have to convince the " no such thing as climate change " brigade ( as they sit complaining about the heat ). Good luck with that one, there's plenty of them. At my age, I'm unlikely to see the worst of what's coming, though if I can stick around for another 25 years or so, I just might.
Getting the vast majority of the populace to take responsibility for their own actions is nigh on impossible, so I fear for the worst, even though I might not see it. |  | | |

He jokes about it, I don't see that as being a climate change denier. People deal with threats in different ways.
I'm pretty dang certain he does have awareness of critical environmental matters. [Post edited 26 Jun 18:13]

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’. |
