I returned last week after almost 6 weeks in Ukraine, it was never less than 30 every day all the time I was there.

Re: Climate Change
 

Yep. The temperature forecast here is 3 degrees, which is basically ground frost!

Re: Climate Change
 

Its 5.1C here atm, forecast is 4C at around 5am, not frost at those temperatures.

Wow I cant believe its 5 Paul and its only september!!

I guess you were right about this summer not being very nice!!

Re: Climate Change
 

I don't normally put the heating on until mid-November, but I noticed plumes of steam from several nearby houses this morning as theirs kick-in.

Re: Climate Change
 

still too warm for heating to be on.

if there's an odd chilly night, I may fire up the wood burner but that's it.

Re: Climate Change
 

I have to admit i sparked up old smokie [the stove] on monday

Re: Climate Change
 

Not here in Scotland been pretty cool this week, 14-15 during the day and as low as 6 degrees overnight. My heating has come on a few times this week as my temp is set to trigger the heating when the house dips below 20 degrees.

Think we're confusing climate change with this week's weather....
2024 is on the way to becoming the warmest humanity has measured worldwide. The glaciers we have left are melting rapidly. That should alarm us.

Yet we had the wetest August.

Re: Climate Change
 

Increased temps, mean heavier and increased rainfall for the UK. Warmer air can hold more water. Yet drought and forest fires elsewhere.

Forget Putin or Trump, this is the world's biggest threat. If only we weren't too busy fighting each other.

Re: Climate Change
 

No it isn’t, not anywhere near.

Is it humanity’s biggest threat? Potentially, I don’t think so. I believe we can overcome any issues presented by climate change, and not by net zero.

The world? The world couldn’t give a shit. The world will be just fine and will continue to be the home to thousands of civilisations far after ours has ended.

Re: Climate Change
 

This last part ? (Well perhaps apart from
Microplastics) Bang on we’re a mere micro second in the history of the universe , quite probably in a few thousand years no one will ever know we ever existed.

BUT just imho

For the time we as a species have left on this world I think the aim is to make life better for the generations that follow us. Climate change will ultimately lead to significant displacement of people and significant increases in geo political tensions

Re: Climate Change
 

I don't think this climate issue is going away. Too little too, too late whatever we do now. If only we could have done 'thinking', and stopped ignoring the evidence.

Re: Climate Change
 

What climate issue :D its just summer :p:
