@Nikiknowsnowt Or, maybe it’s because people who have no understanding of basic science have been suckered into trolling her? Responsible adults would stop spreading disinformation and learn the facts of the situation before wading in.

@BubblyIan @SunilSharmaUK You have been suckered by a bunch of people who are exploiting your ignorance of physics for their own agenda. Get angry with the people lying to you, not the scientists telling you the truth.

Climarxists have the average memory retention of a fruit fly and expect us to be the same. The Internet never forgets! Scientists need research funding as mostly they do not generate products or services which are saleable. They have discovered that predicting apocalypses is lucrative for government to pay them to investigate and try to come up with solutions. It's like pharmaceutical companies which have also discovered that 'curing' people is bad for business, and far better to spend money on life-long treatment of symptoms, as the profit is far higher, or even better is to create fake illnesses which then need expensive life-long treatments.

Why I don’t trust climate scientists? 1. The ones who don’t subscribe to the climate ending the world are silenced 2. No scientific group has ever made this many wrong predictions: 1967: Famine by 1975 1969: Everyone will disappear in a cloud of blue steam by 1989 1970: Ice age by 2000 1970: Water rationing by 1974 and food rationing by 1980 1971-1974: New ice age by 2070 1974: Life ending ozone depletion 1976-1978: Global cooling 1980: Acid rain 1988: Droughts increase 1988: Global warming 1988: Maldives completely under water in 30 years 1989: Rising seas to obliterate nations by 2000 1989: New York City partially underwater by 2019 2000: Snowfalls will be a thing of the past 2002: Famine in 10 years 2004: Britain to have Siberian climate by 2020 2008: Arctic will be ice-free by 2018 2008: Al Gore warns of ice-free Arctic by 2013 2009: Prince Charles says only 8 years to save the planet 2009: Gordon Brown warns 50 days to 'save the planet from catastrophe' 2009: Arctic ice-free by 2014 2013: Arctic ice-free by 2015 2013: Arctic ice-free by 2016 2014: Only 500 days before 'climate chaos' 2018: Arctic ice-free by 2020 2018: Fossil fuel use will wipe out humanity by 2023 Thank you @WONGthink for the above

@SunilSharmaUK Whom to trust? Scientists who dedicate their careers to understanding climate change and its causes, using the “proper data” that tracks back millions of years… or a podcaster who decides there are clicks in taking a position this week? Tough call. Actually it isn’t.

@DarrenJohnson66 Yes, although the flex usually seems to translate as ‘real men don’t care about animals.’ Which is kind of weird - even if you eat meat.

The weather didn't used to look like this when I was a boy. Don't get me wrong the temperatures were often as high but the maps weren't coloured blood red in an attempt to make us pay more tax because... summer.

@CColose @SteveGuest These people fall into one of two categories: Ignorant of the science and easily led, or aware of the science and misleading others for their own agenda. At some point the facts on the ground will become so obvious that the first category is going to turn on the second.

@michaelshermer What aspect of the very simple science underpinning climate change do you disagree with exactly? Or are you amplifying climate deniers with links to the fossil fuel industry simply because it aligns with your own political affiliations?

@BenGoldsmith @NoFarmsNoFoods There’s two types of climate denier: One who knows the truth but manipulates people’s ignorance for their own self interest; and the other, who is ignorant of the truth and manipulated by the first. I’m guessing this account falls under the first category.

The 1976 UK heatwave was one of the most intense, prolonged periods of high temperatures in British history, lasting from 23 June to 27 August 1976. But no one blamed cow farts and the weather maps certainly didn’t look like a volcano had erupted over Britain.

@KHayhoe Haha you made this about misogyny? I've literally berated plenty of male scientists and meteorologists too. In fact you're the only female I have berated about it. Because you're an idealogical grifter. I'd rather read work by those who aren't climate doom-mongers thanks.

Prof. Katharine Hayhoe
This article says climate change is “believed to have played a role” in the UK's extreme heat this week. As a climate scientist, let me fact-check that. First, climate change is not a religion. No belief is required. It is about evidence. And the evidence has been crystal clear for more than two decades: climate change is making heat waves hotter, longer, more frequent and more dangerous. In fact, science has advanced far beyond saying climate change merely “played a role.” Today, we can quantify how much more likely and how much hotter climate change made a specific event. Here's the bottom line: Climate is changing. Humans are responsible. And we are experiencing the impacts now. That’s the bad news. The good news is that solutions already exist, and the majority of people care - 89%, around the world! But meaningful action depends on helping people understand not just what is happening: we need to know how it affects our lives (this heat wave being example A today) and what we can do about it. That’s the opportunity this reporting missed. bbc.com/news/articles/…

I find it astonishing that climate change is not mentioned until the 25th paragraph of this story, well after something about a German YouTuber winning a cheese rolling contest (I kid you not) BBC - Hottest May day on record in UK as temperatures pass 34C bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@C_Steel82 @jonburkeUK Physics doesn’t care if you can be bothered to educate yourself on the basic science or not, it’ll do what it does anyway. And your kids - and mine - will be the ones to suffer. Each to their own.

@lo_and_yonder @jonburkeUK How is spending the day on Twitter and crying over hot weather, better parenting than creating magical memories with your kids I would suggest you Fuckoff and not have kids if you think instilling fear into them is healthy. You think fear equates to knowledge in this subject?🤡

That was yesterday, Tony. Temperatures have just exceeded the all-time May and Spring record - from the longest continuous temperature record in the world - by a full 2C. Care to comment?
Tony Allwright@tallrite

"Hottest May day for nearly 80 years", screams The Guardian. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/m… In other words, 80 years ago it was even hotter. In other words, the climate is getting COOLER! All thanks to CO2, or so we're (without hard scientific evidence) told.

This is what happens at 3 degrees Celsius of global warming, which is currently the most-likely outcome of projected future emissions.

On the long tail of this week's Discourse about RCP8.5, @MichaelEMann and I want to say: "as important as it is to acknowledge progress, it is equally important to counter the disinformation that says we no longer need to worry about the climate future."👇 Link in next tweet.

Four points on the "landmark" UK report on the elite's mass death project. 1. If it is a "landmark" report which points to the destruction of the British economy, its way of life, and the very existence of the country at 4C, why does it get two small lines in the middle of the news section of the world's main "liberal" newspaper that sells the idea that facts are "sacred"? The point being the liberal elites exist to smooth the journey to mass death being prepared for us by the business elites. 2. It's not the mean, stupid. What kills is the outlier. What we want to know is not that food production will go down by x% on average - we want to know that every 20 years an outlier probability is there will be destroyed crops two years running, leading to mass starvation of British people, from which they will not recover by the time the next outlier hits. 3. The unit of analysis of the "UK" is also beyond stupid. What will happen in the UK does not depend upon what happens in the UK but in the whole world. When outliers happen in other areas - war, famine, social breakdown, the world economy will collapse and UK living standards will collapse. Meaning poor people will starve and revolutions will happen. 4. The "climate" is not an event. So stopping pretending it is. It is not a matter of "if we get to 4C". It is a matter of if we get to 2C, feedbacks will send our kids to 3C and their kids to extinction at 4/5 and 6C. It's a ball rolling ever faster down the hill, not a bus stop. Get a fucking grip. theguardian.com/environment/20…
