УНН News of the World ✎ Europe expects heat up to 40 degrees due to a heat dome. Experts warn of infrastructure unreadiness and the danger of
tropical nights.
This year’s May? The totally normal one with temperatures ~0.4° above average for that month? The one with 93% of the May-average precipitation. The only thing not average about May were the elevated numbers of sunny hours [~+27%) in between the rain. Yet everyone went crazy when there were three warm days of 28° and 29°?
And now we see the same bullshit. That’s what climate change does. A minor uptick in global temperatures already fucks up weather patterns and lead to more extremes. Yes, that’s bad. But you don’t need to hallucinate getting backed in an oven while it’s cold and you got soaked by rain for the 10th day in a row. People don’t need to make up stuff and totally exaggerate to justify climate change, it’s already very real.
But May only was average because of extreme weather. In both directions. The heat wave in May was abnormally hot, followed by the cold front you were describing, which was abnormally cold for May. And it doesn’t help the people at risk during heat, that there’s some cold and wet afterwards which cancels out the heat wave oN aVeRaGe.
No, the point is that media is talking about an extreme heat wave while I’m freezing my ass off without several layers of clothing. The point is that global warming is not some magical “you are all dying from heat stroke”-event but just a small increase in avarage temperatures wreaking havoc with established weather patterns.
Yet that is not what is reported. We don’t talk about rain, rain and more rain and low temperatures that are only averaged out by 3 very hot days. We are not talking about extreme weather with regular shifts of +/- 15° from one day to the next. We are instead talking about every single hot day as if it’s the end of the world. And then we are somehow surprised when idiots claim it’s all made up bullshit. Because it is. Start talking about the actual issues, not about some imaginary hot month because there were also a few hot days in that cold period.
You can’t simplify your argument as absurdum and still think it’s concinving. After the 5th “insane heatwave” report that ended up in just two day of warm weather or none at all, you need to understand that your style of reporting is actually hurting as it gives lunatics valid arguments.
Were you not here for May?
