You’re having a laugh 😆 here you are going on about climate change but wizzing off on long distance flights to Africa and the Caribbean, flooring it down to camber sands, thought you lot lived in the woods and went to centre parks for holidays. By the sounds of it your air miles have caused this heatwave shame on youcantersaddick said:Escaped London this afternoon. Finished early and raced down to the coast to Camber Sands. Was about 5 degrees colder and properly windy. Which made it feel actually cool. The sea though was lovely, like getting into a Bath, I've genuinely never felt the sea like it in the UK. Water temperature was warmer than I've felt in Africa and the Caribbean!4 -

The current heatwave has seen some very extreme temperatures, not only in the UK but across Europe too.TD_Addick said:Official temperatures are taken under very strict controls and greg docherty has the same skill set as Zinedine Zidane.You have said the word extreme heat multiple times and that it is caused by climate change then explain how it happened 50 years ago, oh right because the tennis court was hot, or maybe a few cows were in the audience and farted to raise the temperature. Some people see the negative in everything and unfortunately there is an “extreme” amount of you every time it gets above 28 degrees.
I am sorry if you don't like the word extreme, but it is pretty extreme when the ambulance services have said that they have been dealing with the highest number of category 1 call outs that they have ever had. If you don't know a Cat 1 call out is life threatening.
It is pretty extreme when hospital have to cancel scans because the machines can't cope with the extreme heat.
It's pretty extreme when schools have to close because classrooms are too hot.
The fact is that we are experiencing very extreme weather.
The newspaper article you have posted is being posted by numerous climate change deniers, all across social media. Had the temperature been taken on a full Centre Court at Wimbledon this week, I'm sure that it would have been well above 104F

Climate Change deniers are a weird bunch aren't they?4

Nobody has said that 1976 wasn't hot, it was, but it's memorable because it was a one off.TD_Addick said:Official temperatures are taken under very strict controls and greg docherty has the same skill set as Zinedine Zidane.You have said the word extreme heat multiple times and that it is caused by climate change then explain how it happened 50 years ago, oh right because the tennis court was hot, or maybe a few cows were in the audience and farted to raise the temperature.

Heatwaves have happened before, but they are now happening increasingly, with the last 20 years seeing a big increase.
Why do you think that the 97% of the world's climate scientists are wrong? They agree that global warming is caused by increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The increase being down to the actions of humans burning fossil fuels and intensive animal farming.

I know I don't have to read the thread, but I struggle with which side is worse.

@Gribbo will look into it.FirenzeAddick said:For all of the anger on this thread it amounts to "man shouts at cloud". Both of these things are true:1. Global warming is real, and it is happening.2. We have never been more aware about man's impact on this and we are addressing it.Shouting and putting up graphs doesn't change a thing. We each have an individual responsibility to do the right thing and make conscious choices which don't damage the planet on a daily basis.... simple as that. Go about your lives with awareness and enjoy yourself!Unless you have the ability to personally lobby China, the US and India, then sadly your righteous anger is wasted.Please tell me you haven’t opted for the string vest combo.1 -

I can assure I'm not revelling in the misery of this horrible weather. I want to see a nice summer day without the extreme heat and humidity of the last few days.Covered End said:I know I don't have to read the thread, but I struggle with which side is worse.

It's a shame we can't get everyone to pull together to get governments to do the things that would reduce the chances of the extreme weather that affects everyone and every living thing.
The world did it with the banning of CFCs that damaged the Ozone layer. We need to do the same to reduce the Greenhouse gases that are heating the planet.

Not revelling in the heat.
Revelling in being able to post on CL about how awful it is.
It just goes on forever like Covid, long after most others had learnt to move on.
Most people agree with most of the posts, it's just that they don't post the same type of stuff continuously, trying to convince everyone what they already know.
Hex knows his weather and posts the odd informative piece, in a helpful, non condescending manner.
Imagine the kids just about to finish the school year and moving on to something different in September.
The headteacher contacts the parents and says sorry the children have to complete year 6 again.
But why exclaim the parents, 95% of the kids passed the end of year exam and have enough knowledge to move on?
Sorry says the headteacher, but our teachers only like teaching a couple of subjects, so the pupils are just going to have to be taught the same subject indefinitely, even though it's completely pointless.

I perhaps shouldn't have bitten after TD posted a picture that is all over social media. A picture that means absolutely nothing without context, but used to try to deny that we are currently experiencing extreme temperatures. I think that mis/disinformation should be challenged when the future of life on the planet is at stake.Covered End said:Not revelling in the heat.

I happen to be very interested in the subject of Climate Change and this heatwave is a product of that.
On the subject of Covid , I won't comment other than to say that if anyone really wants to know about the effects of the Sars Cov 2 virus, then please DM me and I will point them in the right direction for more information.

More like 10- 20. Every continent is exceeding the predictions that were made for 2050 only 6 years ago. We are 14 years ahead of what scientists thought was worst case scenario only 6 years ago.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:

There are hundreds of other threads that people can go on, why can't this subject be discussed without others commenting that they don't want to keep hearing about climate change.Covered End said:Not revelling in the heat.

It's bizarre that people want threads shut down when they don't want to hear what is being discussed.
If you don't want to study a school subject, you don't have to take part in that subject.
Thankfully it is currently raining where I live but still very humid and uncomfortable2 -

What's weird is every time this happens CE digs out ME14 and brings up the unrelated covid discussions from multiple years ago, even though he can see she's not started any of these conversations. Shes only replied to the 2 trolls who try to be controversial for their own feelings of self importance and who are unhappy the thread has been perfectly on track for 2 days.7

I see both sides of this. As someone with Autism I feel the overwhelming need to correct misinformation and find it hard to ignore them. But the 2 on here are clearly either trolling or so far down their conspiracy rabbit hole it will make no difference.Covered End said:

In the interests of factual correctness, I didn't mention ME14 in my original post.cantersaddick said:What's weird is every time this happens CE digs out ME14 and brings up the unrelated covid discussions from multiple years ago, even though he can see she's not started any of these conversations.

She responded to my post, assuming that I was referring to her, which I wasn't specifically.
I replied to her, when she quoted my post.
When was the last time I brought up Covid related to ME14?
Look it up and post it thanks.
I'll be very surprised if it was this year.1 -

ME 14 is all over certain threads whether it's climate change, Covid , traffic congestion and numerous other subjects.
She never posts or hardly ever posts on football threads and this is a Charlton forum after all.
I don't disagree with a lot of what she posts but just quoting various experts on various subjects comes across a little patronising at times.
