Why does the far right deny climate change? Genuine question here
Mark Cheetham@Mark_Cheetham

@daniellismore I'm so sick of this climate alarmist bullshit. Been hearing this shit since the 1970's and ALL of the doom merchants were proved wrong. Give a rest will you?

@AaronJohnson___ @millsytrfc I'd say The Tap is up there with the best on the Wirral. I don't go often enough. View, sun trap, grass (not just a cordened off concrete jungle). Leaf in WK was great until closed. Derby Pool, Seven Stars, Stags, Dee View all solid contenders. The Harp's ace but Cheshire West 😆

@SterTrfc That they’ve made no real improvement yet, but overall legal immigration they have made huge improvements. Got to give it time.

@SterTrfc Of course they’d say that. But it’s them and half of reform who had record legal migration of millions a year. Now they’re blaming labour who’ve brought it down to tens of thousands. Laughable.

@SterTrfc Tightened loads of student rules, upped the skill and earning thresholds off the top of my head. To blame Starmer, the man who’s actually brought it down. And not the Tories, jenrick etc who had it at record highs is just playing politics. Or brainwashed.

@millsytrfc It is good, but gets far too busy nowadays. The White Lion is a shout and also the Irby Mill. Cottage Loaf, Greave Dunning also not bad.

Hearing people moan about the heat saying it's global warming were never around in 1976 we had 36 deg for months! You ain't gotta sit in the sun all day, be an adult, put a hat on, use an umbrella or go to the pub, simple 🍺👍 #globalwarming #heatwave #abitwarm #bankholiday

34.8ºC at Kew Gardens breaks its May AND June records by OVER 4ºC for its May record set in 1922 and by 0.2ºC for its June record set in 1976. Unprecedented heat for the UK in late May, and likely to be bettered tomorrow. A rounded 35ºC temperature should not happen in May.

If 34C is so unbearable as it seems to be in the UK, why do so many pay thousands of pounds every year to persue it by going on holiday abroad?

So, jokes aside, to understand why the heat is worse in the UK than say Arizona for example, the answer is quite long... First it's the Humidity, it's far higher here. The UK's island location and prevailing south-westerly winds bring moist sea air, so heatwaves are often humid rather than dry. In contrast, many of the hottest US states (e.g., Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico) have dry desert heat where sweat evaporates quickly, so you actually feel cooler despite higher temperatures. Even humid US regions (like the Southeast) usually have widespread air conditioning to offset it. Second, the buildings and Infrastructure that we have all are designed to Trap Heat, not Release It. UK homes are built for cold, damp winters: thick brick/stone walls, heavy insulation, small windows, and designs that retain warmth. During a heatwave, they turn into ovens, solar gain through windows builds up, and there is poor ventilation or passive cooling features like overhangs, shutters, or light-coloured roofs. Plus, poor air conditioning: Only about 5% of UK homes have AC (vs. ~90% in the US). It's not standard because it's rarely needed most of the year, but during spikes it's a nightmare. Also, retrofitting is expensive and tricky in old terraced houses or listed buildings. This extended to public transport, schools, offices, and even hospitals as they often lack cooling. Finally, most importantly, we have zero acclimatisation. Meaning it's just as hot at night as it is during the day. Britons aren't physiologically or culturally used to sustained heat. We're properly white! So, a sudden jump from typical UK summer temps feels extreme, and the body struggles more without gradual adaptation. Heatwaves often bring "tropical nights" (temps staying above 20 °C), so homes don't cool down overnight. You can't sleep, recover, or anything which just compounds fatigue, dehydration, etc. Drier US heat often cools significantly at night. That is all topped up with the fact that we have longer summer daylight at the UK's higher latitude meaning more hours of solar heating. Hope this long explanation that no one wanted clears this right up...
