Agreed maybe the original post is a bit OTT... but this record heat stretches over several or more countries and the entire western european continent.... 1000s kms long.
This is not a tiny part of the world
Absolutely take your point, but still, one event does not prove a theory.
There may well be global trends at play here, but I doubt ANY of us here have access to enough data or knowledge to draw sensible conclusions. What we are doing is responding to what we see being reported and what we observe. I would argue that what is reported is very heavily biased towards a certain viewpoint, and is therefore likely to be very influential to many. I am not making an argument either way, but what I strongly oppose is silencing viewpoints however crazy they may appear to an individual, simply because they do not conform to their own individual narrative. There are some key historical figures who put this into practise, and I am not sure any of us would want to live under a modern version of their rule!
Anyhow back to a monumental UK weather day - 39.6c! Wow.
