    Your stat doesn’t prove global warming, let alone that human’s have influenced it.

    So you don't think there's a trend in there? You reckon it's a statistical anomaly? Chuffing experts eh, what do they know?

    2 months since the last drop of rain here. Yesterday was insanely hot and still in high 20s at around 10pm. Hopefully we get a fantastically cold snowy winter. I do love the cold.

    To answer you yes. Love this heatwave. Don't love folks with heatstroke and dehydration polluting A and E departments when a bit of common sense would mean they wouldn't be there in the first place, when NHS staff are busy enough with more important matters.

    Not sure this is a legitimate stat (in fact i'm pretty sure it's not) but there is physical and scientific evidence to suggest our climate is changing.

    Could be true, I dunno, but 11 of the last 13 summers haven't been like this one.

    There's a difference between average warmer temperatures and a heatwave like the one were currently experiencing, hence why we're all comparing it with 76.

    Theres no doubt the climate is changing. But its been changing for millennia without any human influence whatsoever. What if this current change is just part of the overall cycle of nature?

    Yes, it's been changing for millennia. But nowhere near this quickly. I always think this cartoon is quite instructive: https://xkcd.com/1732/

    More than millennia. 10,000 years ago, Barnsley was under a massive ice glacier that stretched down from the North pole. The UK was still connected to the mainland then due to the lower sea levels. 100,000 years ago it was the same. As the poles are covered in ice, we are still technically in an ice age. In the intervening period, average global temperatures were higher, and lower, without any assistance from man. There is consensus that the actions of man are changing the climate, but it managed to change itself quite a bit over the last few billion years without our meddling. Solar output is also not consistent, so that also affects the average temperature (e.g. the Maunder minimum) on a cyclic basis, as does the actions of volcanoes, etc.

    Its an extremely complex picture, that our best climate scientists are scratching around the surface of.

    Surprise Brexit hasn't been blamed for the weather lol... Personally, I think it's a remain tactic, trying to drain the channel to make us part of mainland Europe..

    Although the planet has warmed before, it has never warmed on anything approaching the time scale of the current global warming phenomenon. The CONSERVATIVE thing to do is to preserve the climate we have, the climate we can grow food in.

    On the one side, we have peer-reviewed research, the findings of which have been multiply confirmed and stood the test of time to become the widely held consensus of the relevant scientific community.

    On the other side we have you, random internet dude, who would have use believe that all of those thousands of scientists are blind to rudimentary empirical, logical, and methodological flaws.

    But then you have an uber 'conservative' like Donald Trump dictating otherwise: economy before existence.

    I'd be interested to see if there has been an increase in coverage of volcanic activity, or if there has just been more activity of late. Seems to have been a lot of eruptions the last few years. I've seen it suggested volcanic eruptions also lower temperature (not an expert by any means, just picked up from general reading of articles over time).

    There's no doubt man has many impacts on the planet, which will only increase as population continues to boom. But you're right, mother nature does her own thing without our input. But it shouldn't be dumbed down that we should be more aware and responsible with our actions as "consumers". A word that described humans far more effective than any other.
