I’ve sort of had enough of ‘experts’ saying something ‘could’ happen.
I’m all down for some beautifully hot summers. Sunbathing on the Gothenburg Archipelago and cooling off in the sea at 9 in the evening there last year was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life. I didn’t think the summer last year was as hot as Spain either, so bring it on!
It is very much a case of when not if now you feel isn’t it?
That scorching summer we had last year, hardly stopped raining and temp barely went higher than 22 degrees
I consider this good news.
Other, shorter, comments I have posted expressing the same sentiment appear to have been removed, so I am expressing it in a longer format to see if it makes any difference.
with all these climates titles they always use “could”.
just like pigs “could” fly in 4 yars time
Christ, the smooth brained climate change deniers are out in force tonight.
Climate scientists: “This is bad! Very, very bad! Be afraid! Take action! The planet needs all hands on deck! Catastrophe looms! Help! Help! Our world will change forever if we don’t act!”
British public: “Hotter summers? That sounds rare. All these nerdy snowflakes melting at having some decent July’s for once! Ha! I’ll be drinking a pint whilst shagging in an ice box on the beach! Bring it on! Get me right in there!”
Thing is, despite its small size the UK has massive differences in weather.
Eg: I live in the South East and its dry, hardly ever rains and it gets fucking hot most summers for a week or so. We also run out of water lots (thanks Thames Water).
But I have family in Cornwal and the North and its like a different country. Rain, more rain, wind, cloud, drizzle etc.
Near where I live we now have vinyards producing award winning wines beating the french and apparently the change in climate means it will get even ‘better’.
For most people in the UK ‘hotter summers’ = brilliant.
Whats my point? I don’t know. It’s going to be hard to convince the UK to do more than they already are to stop ‘hotter summers’.
