Surely the whole point is whether there is a gradual and consistent shift upward in average temperatures. And apparently there is.Quote:

UHIE, more concrete. higher temperatures.....no coincidence the "record" temps are all taken at airports. Having been around for over 50 years, I can't say I notice any difference. Plus what is the 'right' temperature? Was considerably warmer in the middle ages.Quote:

I also know that every solution to climate change seems to involve me having to pay more for something, and that money generally going to people I would consider to be c*nts.
Have you any idea what the temp is in Paris atm? My mate says it's boiling over there in the '30s. They've had to leave all the parks open, closed schools and the top of the Eiffel Tower. Closed a nuke power station cos the river used to cool it was so hot. High 30s in the south of France.Quote:

When I was on the Gilets Jaunes protests in Paris before Covid, it was 19C in Feb and we were walking on the marches in tee-shirts. And as someone who lived off and on in Paris between '93 and '05, this really wasn't normal.
And I don't know about the middle ages, but in the early modern period and after, between 1607 and 1814, the Thames froze over for ice fairs seven times. In the winter of 1962-63, the Thames estuary was frozen in Herne Bay near us in Margate. You could walk out over the sea for a mile and more, by all accounts.
All the feedback loops that were predicted when I started studying this in the '90s {reading James Lovelock and the like} are coming to pass - the melting ice gaps raising temps so the forests {Amazon, Siberia, Canada etc} burn releasing more CO2 , causing the tundra permafrost in Canada and Siberia to melt, releasing CO2 and methane, all of which have happened. The next result will be the release of methane where the sub-sea oceanic plates meet - which we are starting to see - releasing loads more methane.
The last time that happened was the final part of a 6C rise that saw the Permian mass extinction 252m years ago, which saw 90% of marine species and 70% of land vertebrates go extinct.
It's all coming to pass. We live in the age of Kali Yug and we're all gonna be wiped out. I hope the cats take over.
We have 1bn years before the sun expands and boils off all the oceans. But that's more than enough time for intelligent life to evolve again - after all, the dinosaurs only went 65m years ago.
Here were those changes predicted in a 2007 book called Six Degrees:

Have a gander and see what was predicted and compare with what we've been seeing happen in the last decade or so.
Yes, 38C yesterday and 34C right now.Quote:

Co2 is a trace gas - 0.04%, wikipedia is basically funded by greens. It's a massive scam and a complete grift. The ice caps are not melting. In fact Antartica is actually gaining in mass and the Arctic has barely changed.Quote:

Absolutely nothing to do with the shifting of the magnetic poles of the earth (we're overdue a pole reversal) and the movement of magma. (Have we had any eruptions recently?)Quote:

Anyone who believes this is caused by a gas that is a miniscule part of the environment needs to get themselves sectioned.
It's what my mate in the 4e said. Vachement stifling. Hope you, Mrs WES and hounds are all managing to cope. Even in Margate, Puddle Paws the cat found it a bit too hot.Quote:

I don't know when you first went to Gay Paree in summertime buy anyone who thinks this is just normal is deluded. They've never had to open the parks at night before when I've been there.
You must know that this is really abnormal and things are deffo getting hotter.
All the best, and remember that if you wanna take Mrs Wes to my fave local restaurant on Ile St Louis, it's this won:

Ganpati bless.
If you'd clicked the wiki link, you'd have seen it was simply a page about the book. It's not making any claims itself, it's just telling you what the book was about like a wiki page of a play or film tells you the plot.Quote:

It would have been sensible to have actually looked at the wiki page before commenting on it.
