Heat is one of the clearest signs of the climate crisis. The planet-heating gases pumped out by burning fossil fuels envelop the planet like a blanket, warming the Earth. Scientists are clear that climate change is fueling more extreme heat waves — and Europe is the planet’s fastest-warming continent.
“We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that heat wave events such as this have been made more likely and more severe due to climate change,” said Peter Thorne, director of ICARUS Climate Research Centre at Maynooth University, Ireland. “But nevertheless many of the records being set, particularly in the UK and France, are mind-bogglingly crazy,” he added.
Fucking mouth breathers over here are like “it was hotter than this in the summer of 1973”.
Yes, that was once. In summer.
It is spring. The avg temperature this time of year in the UK is 16c. It doubled overnight.
Thankfully when global warming Hits it’s peak and AMOC vanishes, you Britishers will finally experience cold weather again. /s
tell them to go to india if they want heat.
India entered the chat…
India starts typing furiously…
Edit: god, the ppl in this group are limited, dumb and ignorantly self-confident…
I’m always baffled by those weirdos who insist on chiming in.
Me: “goddamn its hot, its like 32C”
Weirdo: “yeah but its 45C in the Arabian desert!!11!”
Me: “okay but I live north of the arctic circle and its May.”
Like yeah, my winters are practically a UK summer, but at least the infrastructure is built for it. Too many people are heading for wet bulb temperatures without adequate protection.
They recon 50% of the population live in areas where the wet bulb temperature is going to make their area unliveable. Massive migration is expected. It will definitely upset the close the borders mob.
India, a subtropical nation has hotter temperatures than the UK.
