British Weather Forecasters Caught in a Troll Storm During Record-Breaking Heat Wave

BBC meteorologists said they were mercilessly abused throughout the unprecedentedly hot weather.

Trolls also reportedly accused presenters of pandering to “snowflakes” and the “woke-brigade” by giving out advice on how to stay cool in the blazing temperatures.

Petition: We demand that the UK Government declares a Global Climate Emergency

The UK Government is still the President of COP26. In spite of the progress made at the COP26 conference, global temperatures are rising faster than expected and emissions continue to rise unabated. It is our moral obligation as COP President to declare a Global Climate Emergency.

Can anyone explain if the week ahead is going to be even more humid but with rain?

Not sure I can cope.

Sky News seem to be ahead of the BBC on coverage of the issue, and this is a reasonably interesting piece on battery storage.

So it appears the government has declared war on environmental charities now and this might actually be one of the few things that causes mass change (the UK news and voter love a cute wee bird and (carefully managed) bit of wildlife as long as they have to drive to it)

It's been a while coming because the government's been at war with the culture sector and other charities but this is the loudest shout I've seen from what's normally a pillar of the establishment charity/NGO - presumably because they aren't entirely dependent on government funding.

Government launched ‘attack on nature’ with mini-budget, conservationists warn

The RSPB, the Wildlife Trusts and the National Trust have all criticised the Government over some of its proposed policies.

Dr Mark McCarthy, head of the Met Office’s National Climate Information Centre, said: “2022 is going to be the warmest year on record for the UK. While many will remember the summer’s extreme heat, what has been noteworthy this year has been the relatively consistent heat through the year, with every month except December being warmer than average.

“The warm year is in line with the genuine impacts we expect as a result of human-induced climate change. Although it doesn’t mean every year will be the warmest on record, climate change continues to increase the chances of increasingly warm years over the coming decades.”

And he gouges insecure young men for money, promising them they can become as successful as him (lol) if they just subscribe to his online courses on how to be a pathetic douchebag.

One of my students was telling me about him. I asked why, if he's really a quadrillionaire, he needs to scrounge money from teenage boys. Answer came there none.

In any just world that would, rightly, be a career-ending move. As it is she just rises up the cunt-magnet league table and probably will end up being able to buy an even bigger/environmentally damaging car.
