The Heatwave

Also good post, but also one which contradicts the earlier Temp vs Weather Map arguments.

I didn't make any earlier arguments.

FFS the old boys have nostalgia hijacked another thread.

Look i can remember the summer of '69 as it was when I got my first real 6 string, bought it at the five and dime. Played it till my fingers bled.

If we’re all sensible, we hydrate, we don’t go outside in peak heat, etc, we will be just fine despite what MSM is pushing.

Maybe you're reading different media to me, but isn't that exactly what the media are encouraging you to do?

Look lads, I'm not listening to so-called climate scientists with their so-called phds doing their so-called research. Climate policy should be shaped by clueless randos on the internet whose argument revolves around the colour of tv weather maps and nobody else. End of

Get that, but we’re talking about a two-day period over which temperatures are forecast to be a good 3C lower than the UK record. Temperatures are routinely IEO that in most ‘suns seeker’ destinations, and heat is heat. It won’t be comfortable, but it’s two days. If we’re all sensible, we hydrate, we don’t go outside in peak heat, etc, we will be just fine despite what MSM is pushing.

The MSM are pushing you to be sensible and hydrate and not go out in peak heat

I might watch GB News and Fox to get a broad and balanced opinion of this heat. I bet it's all fake anyway.

I think he's talking about the ones I made about the idiotic "weather reporting in the past was calming and fluffy, but now it's apocalyptic" despite the 'useful memes' presenting two completely different things as the same thing. Which is apparently being contradictory to another point about the need of responder organisations to warn and inform the public.

Apparently it's fear mongering of the most perverse nature to inform people to be prepared for record weather and advise people to take care of the vulnerable.

What you've just described is exactly the steps the MSM media are telling people to do?

I don't understand where this idea that they're pushing apocalypse has come from.

They’ve cancelled my local fete because and I quote “the severe risk to life”. It’s going to be 30 today then 34/35 for the next two. Nobody will die.

Seems excessive.

It’s on the local Facebook group. I swear all they do is scare all the old folk half to death with this sort of thing. I’ve read some utterly ridiculous stuff on there in the past. The best one being someone going around throwing cannabis pellets into peoples gardens with the intention of poisoning all the dogs in the neighbourhood. Caused absolute uproar that one. ?

Local Facebook groups are horrendous places
