@room101 I admit that there's no point in bringing politics into it - but she's right in that the criteria needs reviewing to cope better with hot weather... along with policy.
You can try to invalidate my view as much as you want - but, it doesn't make it any less truthful and valid. If you're that much of a snowflake, I suggest that you do us both a favour and block me.
@HootyTheNightOwl It seems that your whole point is the "cry wolf" argument. That being the case, try to remember the story. The boy cried wolf when there were no wolves present..........until there were. At which point, it was too bloody late.
If you honestly believe that we are not experiencing climate change, if you honestly believe that much of that climate change is caused by humans, if you honestly believe that we humans can't do anything to mitigate the impact that we are having on our climate and our environment in general then, I don't need to do anything to invalidate your view because your view is indeed invalid.
Take a closer look at the colours they’ve chosen to depict the heat. Compare them to 5 years ago. The 2022 temps are LOWER than the 2017 ones but portrayed as higher.
One is overlain on a map showing vegetation density, and the other on a map showing temperature deviation from normal (or something similar). The second is more useful in putting temperatures in context. What is the problem with this? Are objective facts and data left wing?
I guess over the span of 5 years, they managed to acquire better technology, allowing them to show a dynamic "heat-sensitive" image, instead of the old static background.
That's some clever mind fuck the LGBT, Marxist, Islamist cabal is pulling, right?

It's not BBC. The first pic is from Hessischer Rundfunk. The bottom one is from Das Erste if I recall the reporters face correctly. Both are German channels.
@SW-User So your misguided opinions are valid and don't cause unnecessary notifications. BUT, when you're caught out in your bullshit, that's unnecessary notifications🤣🤣🤣
@gol979 Most reliable and unbiased source of information on the planet; that's why I listen to them (on the radio). Most radio stations in my country are privately owned: they are just the voice of their owners' interests, similar to FOX.
@helenS fair play. Bbc isnt for me as they have been instrumental in starting illegal wars (mass murder) during my lifetime and the version of reality they push is something that i do not recognise. Its full of fear and loathing imo
@Elessar Although Murdoch has his grubby fingers all over Sky (he founded the Channel), the Brits have a pretty strong broadcasting regulatory body which means that Sky News etc can't get away with even 50% of the nonsense that Fox does on a daily basis.
You are confusing local weather with climate change. One country having record temperature in one summer is not even remotely related to climate change. Here in Georgia, our warmest summer on record was way back in 1932. There is always some place that is going to have a hot summer. But there are other places that are having lower than average temperatures this year too. Here in Atlanta, our July highs range from 81 to 95 degrees F. This year we never even hit 90 F one day.
I don't know where you found that, or if you created it, but since Left-wingers call the BBC Rightist, and Right-Wingers call it Leftist, it must be pretty balanced, unlike the Internet prunes who attacked you as you say!
And they can take the meaning of "unbalanced", as they like.....
