The Heatwave

[Rita_Poon]

unfortunately yes, here in Germany they've officially confirmed limiting folk's ability to heat their homes this winter due to a reliance on Russian energy.

Trump was right...again.

@LinekersLegs

who needs heat in your bones when you can have bleach in your veins...

I’m sat in Tenerife as I type, it’s 26 degrees. I’ll be in Liverpool within 5 hours where it’s looking to be 34 degrees.

Some very backwards holidaying going on here lol

You go there to get away from the heat mate?

There's literally the word terrifying in the headline, with literally a red-coded alarming temperature map of the weather today that the media & government are hyping up, which yous just said that messaging isn't for us.

Of course the messaging is for all of us: the timing of the article directly relates it to the heatwave we're having right now.

They're making us all hyper-aware of the situation.

Let's hope it's for good intentions.





1976 and 2003 off the top of my head had more excess deaths due to heat-related issues.

Did you also know that cold-temperature related deaths number tenfold the heat-related deaths?

I hope we see this level of hype, in the name of protecting the vulnerable, when winter hits.

"They're making us all hyper aware of the situation"..

It's one article written by a climate scientist in the Guardian, talking about the long term impacts of climate change and sustained increase in temperature...

You've someone interpreted that as a nebulous "they" who are trying to control us.

And yes I did know that cold weather and cold related health impacts are a bigger threat to the UK. They sit higher on the national risk register.

UK must be the most hysterical place on earth. So strange

Most people are out having BBQs and popping ice loollies in their vaginas..

I think it's about the right level of hysterical

Spain. Not going to lie it's pretty hot. I would say it's 36 every day for about 6 weeks until it warms up in August.

Good stuff..out of interest, would you say Spain is significantly hotter, on average than the UK? And if so, do you think they may have adapted their infrastructure and perhaps culture to limit the effect of hot weather?

Our environmental journalism will play a leading role in galvanising change, encouraging innovation – and pressuring governments to correct course on global heating

What's your point??

I actually neither smoke nor drive, so maybe I am doing my part after all. lol

At least burn a couple of tyres Greta Thuneburg.

For balance...

Here's the T-Commander minimizing the denial programme.

The eco elite won't admit it, but it's time we learned to live with climate change

Global agreements to limit warming have failed. Our best answer now is to invest in adaptation

really?

lol

i guess we can just leave it then

You seem to be assuming that the heat warning is for people like you, rather than for people who have to work out in it or are in care homes, hospitals, people with chronic illnesses etc, it's probably not for people who have the ability to sit in their bath all day.

The ruddy chocolate on my biscuit has melted. Why did nobody say this would happen?!

You are extremely intelligent.
